Iselin's letter offering to resau the pro'
tested race September 10, but the follow
ing correspondence shows the facts, as
Iselin's letter of September 10 ako does.
The fact of his desire to resail the last
races or, failing to do this, to eail the
whole match over, was magnanimous
and liberal on Iselin's part, a fact that
Burely no one can deny."
The following is a copy of the letter
sent yesterday by Iselin to Smith:
"Dear Mr. Smith : 1 inclose copies of
Danraven's two letters to me. Unfor
tunately I did not keep a copy of the
short note I sent him about resailing
Tuesday's race, but as he has my per
mission to jiubliBh it, you can, of course,
obtain a copy from him. I consider it
most unfortunate that we could not have
devised some way whereby the last two
races could have been resailed. I still
hold that if Dunraven and myself had
consented to have the races resailed, the
committee could have so ordered, and
without in any way affecting their posi
tion. Now, of coarse, it is too late to do
anything, and all I ask is that my offers
be folly tet forth in the report of your

San Fbancisco, Sept. 18. At. the trial
of Theodore Dnrrant this morning,
Edna Lucille Tqrner was the first wit
ness. She testified that she knew Dor
rant, and was a member of the Society
of Christian Endeavor of which Durrant
was secretary, and was a member of
Emanuel church. Then the district
attorney asked her this queetion :
"Were you in Emanuel church with
Theodore Durrant on the afternoon of
Wednesday, April 3?"
Witness replied : "No."
The witness was then excused. It sub
sequently transpired that the object of
the prosecution in this was to forestall
the action of. the defense. The police
had learned that the defense intended
to place Miss Turner on the stand and
have her say that she went to Emanuel
church with . Durrant on April 3, that
she was the girl whom Quintan, Mrs.
Crossett and Mrs. Leake saw with Dur
rant, and not Blanche Lamont.
If this was the intention of the de
fense, the prosecution has spoiled the
plai.
The next witness was George K. King,
the organist and associate of Durrant
about Emanuel church. He said he
knew Durrant well. Durrant was the
assistant superintendent of the Sunday
school and sometimes sang in the choir
when witness played the organ. On the
afternoon of April 3 King went into the
church to practice a new piece. After he
had been there a few minutes Durrant
walked in. Durrant'a hair was dis
heveled, be was pale and agitated and
looked ill. He had his coat and hat off,
and explained his appeareoco by sayin
that he had been repairing a leak in tb
gas pipes, and that he had been over
come by gas. He gave witness 50 cents
and asked him to go and get him bromo
seltzer. Witness went to a neighboring
drug store and made the purchase as re'
quested. - When he returned Durrant
was in the ' lobby or lying .. on the plat
form witness forgot which.- The district
attorney produced transcript testimony
of King at the preliminary examination
and asked if witness did not then testifiy
that Durrant bad taken the drangh
standing in the lobby. The prosecution
seemed to emphasize the slight discre
pancies in the testimony. King 'was
plainly using every means in his power
to save bis friend Durrant by omitting
important parts of his testimony. Every'
thing that could be construed as injuring
Durrant'a case could only be extracted
from King with the greatest difficulty
He had seen Durrant, he admitted after
the preliminary examination, and also
Durrant'a father and mother, with
whom he had talked over his testimony
regarding Durrant on that fatal after
noon.
King, under the skillful questioning of
the district i attorney, finally admitted
that it had been suggested to him that
he change his testimony. Under the
fire of objections by attorneys for the
defense, bit by bit the district attorney
got the witness to admit that the nug-
gestion to change bis testimony had
been made in the county jail by the de
fendant in the offices of Dun-ant's attor
neys, by Attorneys Deuprey and Dick'
in son. . ....,,.. .
This answer created a tremendous sen
sation. Deuprey excitedly jumped to
bis feet and shouted that the whole
story of his endeavoring to change the
testimony of the witness was a myth in
the brain of the witness. '.. But, as if to
disprove Deuprey 's remark, District At
torney Jbarnes led : tne witness to say
that he (King) was s clue friend of
Dun ant and anxious to see him acquit
ted. He- said he bad examined all the
gas jets in the church after Durrant said
the gas was escaping, but could find no
leak iu any place.
He had asked' Durrant why be had
not called for witness to help him fix the
gas as he had done before, and Durrant
bad replied be had not had . time. All
the work on the gas fixtures bad been
finished , three days before, and every
thing was in good shape. .
When witness gave Darrant the bro-
mo-seltzer he took it into the kitchen,
mixed it and then came back into the
kitchen and sat down. Durrant had
asked witness if his eyes were congested
and if he was pale. Afterward witness
asked Dnrrant to help him carry the
organ down stairs. Dnrrant appeared
exhausted, and stopped frequently to
rest. Then Durrant unlocked the lib
rary door and got his coat and bat which
were in a box in a corner. Witness
had not seen -them before. They left
the church at six. Witness had been
there a little less than one honr.

Sax Fbancibco, Sept. 19. Georje
King 1s said to have told another story
of his meeting with'J)nrrant in Emanuel
church than the one he gave yesterday
on the witness stand. . It is more dra
matic, and full of details, and be is said
to have imparted it to, few intimate
friends a few days after the diecovery of
the church horrors. It has : been re
peated, and : has reached the ears of the
district attorney something like this,
When 'King returned from the drug
store wittt the liroino seltzer he - met
Durrant and immediately handed the
drug to him. A violent chill passed
through the frame of the latter, and he
hal staggered as he turned to go to the
back o the church. King accompanied
him to the kitchen, and as Durrant pre
pared the dose, his companion noticed
that another chill shook his body.
: What the matter?" he asked.
Durrant gave no answer..-'. He placed
the class to hijj lips and drank half the
contents.; '.Almost immediately he shud
dered again," '. r-. . ' ' V
-, "Horrible, horri He,", he said to.him-
selft " - ;:;';..- -''
He lifted the glass to his lips again
and emptied the contents.'
"What?" asked King, ''the seltzer?"
"No," said Durrant. with a chill that
shook his baud, Vno; the gas.' -
This is rather different from the story
that King told on tho stand yesterday.
Seveial people intimately acquainted
with King are said to have heard this
story from his own lips in the week fol
lowing last Easter, when his memory
must have been particularly fresh as to
the occurrences of - that Wednesday
afternoon. It was given to them, eo it
is stated, under no seal of secrecy, but
they did not think it wa3 of particular
importance, and it might have never
been repeated bad not the qnestion as to
King's willingness as a witness come up
eo prominently.
As it is, the district attornev . will
press King upon the point as to whether
the story he told upon the stand yester
day and the one with the dramatic de
tails which he is alleged to have told to
a few friends is the true one.
There is another little thing., It was
particularly noticed that when King
took the stand yesterday, he looked in
the direction of the Durrant parfy and
smiled. The prisoner smiled in return
and bowed. , That was all right as far as
tha district attornev was concerned. - He
considered it only nature that two inti
mate friends should smile pleasantly at
one another, and he proceeded with the
examination. Before he had finished,
it was-plain that King's' answers were
not at all satisfactory to the district at
torney. vhea ; King stepped , off the
stand at the noon recess there was an
incident which .attracted the attention
of the district attorney. . He was sitting
very close to Durrant, and King walked
up to the prisoner and shock him by the
hand, ' ...
"Well, old man," the district attorney
heard him say, "were you worried when
I was on the stand?" - . .
Barnes did not wait to hear Dnrrant'e
reply. He jumped from his seat and
communicated what he had heard to
Caotain L?es. On' Fridav he will atk
Mr. King what he meant by, "Were
you worried when I was on the stand?"
For thesetwo reasons, the story almost
witnont words,, and the midday qnes
tion, Friday gives promie6 of an inter
esting session, with Organist King on
the stand.: . -
There is in the possession of the police
a little report rendeied by Detective
Seymour on the 14th of July, the day
Emanuel church was reopened. . In it
the detective tells that he ' met George
King at the church, and asked him
about bis visits to Durrant. King re
plied that he bad gone there at the sol
icitation of Durrant'a father, and the
