In response to questions, she re-
lated how the jewels were found
buried in the basement and brought
to her room by Carlton.
There were bracelets. tiarias,
Bibles, clips. We spread it all on
the floor" the statement quoted her
as saying.
Col. Durant arrived the next d. !,
and Maj. Watson the day after that,
she said
"A1 Of us decided to keep the
jewelry," the statement added.
Mai. Watson seemed to have
more courage about that than we
did. We were worried. We decided
to divide it four ways"
She took half the Jewels to Amer
lea when she was redep1oyed III
February, she said, and left the rest
with Col. Durant and Mai. Watson.
She and Col. Durant were married
shortly before their arrest in Chicago.
When we sold it, Watson was to
get his share" her statement said.

$50,
Some of the jewels were broken
up, the stones punched out and the
settings destroyed in her room at
the castle and on one occasion in
Maj. Watsons room, the statement
continued.
Puts Least Blame on Sergeant.
The statement said the signer was
divulging this information "volun-
tarily" and in full knowledge of her
constitutional rights. 1t added that
she considered the three officers
principally responsible, and that the
least" blame should be attached to
the sergeant.
Mrs. Durant hid her share of the
treasure in her sisters attic in Hud-
son, Wis, the document went on.
Col. Durant buried the remainder
somewhere in Virginia, perhaps near
his brothers home in Falls Church,
she added.
Before the statement was intro
duced, Mrs. Durant took the stand
in support of her counsel's conten-
ton that she signed such statements
in the belief she would not be prose-
cuted. She said Army officers told
her they only wanted to recover the
loot.
Under cross examination, the de-
fendant admitted she read the state
ments before she signed them, and
made some changes in her own
handwriting.

get rid of those men and get out of
