NO FAITH IN 1T.
Frisco People Say the Murderer Is
In San Quentin.

San Francisco, Nov. 23.-No credence
is placed by the authorities here in the
alleged confession of Blanther, or
Forbes, made in the Meridian (TeXas)
Jail, that he murdered Blanche Lamont
and Minnie Williams, in addition to
Mrs. Langfeldt 1t is recalled, how
ever, that at the time of the killing of
Mrs. Langfeldt, about is months ago,
the suggestion was advanced that
Blanther had murdered all three. it
being claimed that there were certain
points of similarity in the three muir
ders.
At the time of the Langfeldt murder
Durrant had already been in Jail for
year and the police secuted at the
idea of any one but the prisoner hav-
ing committed the crimes. The police
are confident that the Emanuel church
murderer is still alive and in San
Quentin prison. While recognizing the
possibility of error, the authorities are.
nevertheless, convinced that they have
the right man in the person of Dur
rant
The alleged confession of Blanther
will probably prove a powerful weapon
of defense in the hands of Durrant' s
attorneys, who are utilizing every
available pretext for delaying the exc
cution of their client.

the work of the iremen was useless,

te fierce sun by the longest route to the
court house at Victoria % miles distant
from Honda. a rope was tied around
his neck, and he was jeered at, insuIted
and otherwise ill-treated by the ma
tives. Mr.. Schiller, after his release,

Confession of a California Suicide

WANTS TO SAVE DURRANT
SAYS HE AND NOT DURRANT Is

Murdered Mrs. Langfeldt, of San

a Former School Teacher-Con-

the Prison Cell.

Houston, Tex, Nov. pa special to
the Post from Morgan, Tex, says:
Joseph E. Blanther, alias Forbes,
committed suicide in the Meridian jail
in this county on March 2 last.
DEVELOPMENTS of the past few days
bring to light the fact that Blanther
was the self confessed perpetrator of
even more startling crimes than was
the murder of Mrs. Langfeldt in San
Francisco, for which he was hunted.
While Blanther was incarcerated in
the Meridian jail there was also fell
low prisoner named Pitts, who was
arrested on some minor charge and oc-
cupied the cell adjoining that of Blan-
Their. Pitts is a farmer who now lives
near Iredell, in this county, and is
known to have converted with Blan-
Their during his two or three days con-
f1nement. In a letter to Word, Dillar
& Word, attorneys of Meridian, under
date of Nov. o. Mr.. Pitts enclosed a
letter from Blanther and says:
Il have been looking through some
papers that 1 had on file in the jail
at Meridian and l find the enclosed
sheet, which speaks for itself. The pa
pers alluded to here worked through
a hole in my pocket, hence the delay
in not discovering them sooner. l now

asked me on the evening he took the
poison which coat was mine of several
that were hanging in the cell he occu-
pied. L never thought further of the
question he asked until [ found the
