DURRANT'S CASE
IN BUDO'S HANDS
The Governor Visits Chief
Lees and Hears
Others.
Attorney . General Fitzgerald
Rests on His Last
Brief.
A Summary of the Fatal Thirteen
Links That Convicted the
Condemned Man.

Governor Budd visited Chief Lees yes
terday morning to inquire further con-
cerning the evidence against Theodore
Durrant. He and the Chief were closeted
for some time in a consultation, and the
Governor was particularly anxious to ex-
anime the handwriting that appeared on
the newspaper in which Blanche Lamont's
rings were wrapped when they were re-
turned TO her aunt, Mrs. Noble. Shortly
after his consultation with Chief Lees the
Governor met some people interested in
Durrant.
Mrs. Isabella J. Hoffman Martin was
one of the callers upon Governor Budd in
Chief of Police Lees office, and made an
appeal for a repTieve for Theodore Dur
rant. She asked the Governor not to be
Influenced by popular prejudice, and re-
quested him to examine the testimony
for himself.
The Governor received from her a state
ment containing about 1000 words, written
in her own hand. He assured her that he
would carefully examine the record and
her appeal and that he would not pay any
attention to anything outside of the evil
dence in the case.
Mrs. Martin told q CALL reporter after
ward that when Captain Lees learned of
the nature of her mission be became very
angry and said that she had no right to
have an opinion or to interfere in the
