Conclusion of Thursday Evening's
ana Friday's Testimony.
Ban Francisco, Oot. 11. After a
short recess Thursday, during which
Durrant bad recovered bis composure,
a surprise was sprung on him In the
hope that It might disconcert him.
After asking Durrant If he had ever
made a written statement or bis whero
abouta on the day Blanche Lamont
was murdered and receiving an afllr
matlvo reply, District Attorney Barnes
asked the following questien:
"Is It not a faot that you sent a
written statement ol your caso to your
attorneys, and wrote on tho envelepe:
To be opened If I am convicted, and to
be returned if I am acquitted?' "
The excitement caused by the ques
tion was Intense. In the hum of
voictM Durrant's answer was lost, and
the stenographer was asked to read the
reply:
'I never sent an envolope to my at
torneys bearing such an luBcrlptlon,"
said he.
Durrant was questioned at length
regarding the communication and the
significant Inscription on the envelope,
but he denied that he ever sent such a
document.
The prosecution next endeavored to
how that Durrant, who was about to
become a full-fledged physician, would
not have sent for bromo-seltzer when
he was found dazed and prostrated in
the church if be bad been suflerlng
from partial asphyxiation from gas.
The defense objected to several qf
tlons, and one of the objections an
sustained. The district attorney Bald
he desired to show that any medical
student knew that a sufficient quantity
of bromo-seltzer, taken by a person
who had nearly been overcome by gas,
would result in death. Furthermore,
he said he wished to show that Dur.
rant waa not BUfleriug from gas, and
be prescribed for himself a remedy that
was sever used la such an emergency.
The court aald the prosecution bad a
right to show these factions, It It could,
but that the inquiry could not be based
on Durrant'a kuowledge of medicine.
Durrant waa next shown the various
garmeata worn by Blanche Lamont,
and aaked if be bad secreted them In
the belfry where they were found. He

Identified the pieces of clothing ar the
ones worn by Miss Lamont on tbo day
of her death, but said be did not bide
them in tho church.
Durrant'a strong nerves wero tested
by a number ot questions rotating to
the last tlmo he buw Blanche Mamont,
Tho climax was reached wheu Barnes,
with his voice pitched In u hlghea key
tuau usual; advanced to whero Dur
rant was sitting aud psked:
"Did you ever lay oyea on Blanoh
Lamont after tho morning of tho day
upon which she was murdered, living
or desd?"
Durrant replied that he did not.
"Living or dead, I said," thundered
tho district nl tor toy, advancing a step
nearer.
Although eyery eye in the courtroom
was centered upon Durrant, ho re
mained as cool as If he had been asked
the most commonplace question. He
again replied that ho did not
Durrant wad asked to explain his
statement to Herbert Bohlagator that
Miss Lamont, who had then been
missing but a low days, bad probably
been enticed into a house of ill-repute.
The district attorney asked what there
was in Mlsa Lamont's manner or
character that Induced him to make
the remark. Durrant said bo knew
nothing wrong about Miss Lamont,
but be had heard Detective Anthony
say that she bad been probably led
astray.
Borne questions by District Attorney
Barnes, in the cross-examination of
Durrant, are Bald to give credence to a
rumor wljloh has been persistently fly
ing about concerning the case for some
time past. The rumor concerns a writ
ten statement, which Durrant Is said to
bavo prepared relating what be did
from the time he left Ms home, April
8, the day on which Blanch Lamont
was killed, until his return home that
evening. Durrant admits he did write
such a statement. Mr. Barnes, how
ever, asked Durrant If the sealed en
velop In whloh the statement waa en
coded were not endersed:
"To be opened If I am convicted and
returned to mo if I am acquitted."
Durrant dedied that bo had made
any such Indorsement ou the envelope.
But the rumor referred to does not stop
with tho outside of the euvelope. It
goes on to state, specifically, what it
contains that Durrant did not want to
know, except In case of his conviction.
In regard to what occurred at tho time
DuTaut says he arrived at tne cuurcu,
that Is to say, at 4:55 o'clock, the state
ment describes what he found In prog
ress there. Briefly and according to
the rumor, the statement saja that on
bis arrival found two men, who have
been prominently connected with the
case, engaged In murdering Blanche
Lamont. They threatened to kill
Durrant If he ever revealed what lie
had seen.
Buohastory, advanced In a reason
for Durrant'a domeanor since tbe arrest
might be regarded as a clumsy attempt
at fiction, like tbe tale of tbe myiteriw
O AJr 1 J A
unknown which Durrant gave today
on tbo stand, aud tho other story of
his finding Minute Williams' purse.
That some fiction of the sort indi
cated, and covering wbat bad happened
at tho time Durrant aald he reached
tho church, i afloat is believed to furn
ish the the reason for the questions Mr.
Barnea put to Durrant this afternoon
In relation to what the defendant saw
at tbe cnurch. Ho waa asked if ho bad
seen anybody or heard anything when
he arrived, or whllo ho wae? fixing the
gas burners. He denied having heard
or seen anybody until he ncard King
playing tbe piano, so that if he ever in
tended to voice any Motion of tho sort
ho has now abandoned the Idea.
DIstrlot Attorney Barnea aald, after
adjournment, that he waa entirely in
earnest when he asked durrant Du.
rrantifho had made such statement.
He added:
"I am not at liberty to explain just
now why I questioned him oa that
line nor what I expeot to show. The
question speaks for Itself. I have rea
son to bellove that Durrant did prepare
a wrltton statement , which was onto
to bo opened in the event of his ajft
victlon. I would not otherwise
have asked such a question. Tbo
trial is not ended and there may
bo some interesting developments be
foro long. I cannot go into details at
present."
When interviewed, Attorney Deu
prey simply laughed at the story, aad
said that In his opinion tbe district
attorney was simply blufliug. Mr.
Deu prey characterized the story as
absurb. Ho said lie bad never received
any such statement from Durrant as
described by Barnes, and ho, added
that Durrant nevor wrote anything of
tbo sort.
The prisoner declined to discuss the
matter further than to deny that bo
bud ever prepared a statement to be
opened only In tbo event of his con
viction. District Attorney Barnes today re
sumed tho cross-examination of Theo,
Durrant on the BUbJeot of the com
ponent parts of bromo-soltzer. Barnes
said he wished to show that a sufficient
quantity of bromo-seltzer would kill a
person who has been partly overcome
by gas. Durrant Bald he had a general
knowledge of component parts of tbe
medicine and he denies that tbo active
principle of tho medicine was bromide
of potassium.
Durrant became confused while be
ing questioned with regard to his
notes of tho lecture given by Dr.
Chorey on tbe afternoon that Blanche
Lamont was murdered. The weak
part of Durrant's testimony waa tbo
statement that when he was arrested,
on April 12, he did not know
whether he had notes of Dr.
Chorey's lecturo or not, although
be compared notes with Student Glaz
ier four days before and knew that ho
was suspected of killing tho girl who
bad disappeared on tbe day tbe lecture
was given.
Durrant said he would have tho jury
bellevo that when he waa arrested he
had forgotten whether or not be bad
notes of tbe lecture. When questioned
closely as to wheu ho forgot about the
notes.
Durrant made the further mistake of
telling tbe day tipou which he forgot
about the notes, and also the day when
he remembered them. He said ho
forgot about tbe notes on April 13th
before be was arrested, and remembered
them again on April 17.

of tbe concession for building a railroad

Isaac ek$ierr Killed and Partly
Orenatealby Unknown Partial.
In yesterday's Issue we aauounoed
tbe burning yj of Mr. Isaac. .Lebnberr'B
barn with him in It, but without par
ticulars although It was supposed then
by our reporter that Mr. Lebnberr had
been foully dealt with and that tbe
barn waa burned to destroy the body
and prevent detection of the murderer.
Today we get the facta beyond dispute
that Lehnherr was shot, the ball enter
ing tbe left breast cutting Into one rib
and rauglug downward came out at
the baok, killing him almost inetantly
as his body lay on hla baok with his
right hand over the wound on the
breast. His limbs were burned off
leaving only the truhk.
The coroner's jury after making all
possible Inquiry concerning tbe ease
gave a verdict of murder by person
unknown. There are several theories
advanced by parties cognisant of tbe
circumstances connected with the foul
deed, but we refrain from comments
upon theories only. The facta as re
ported are that Mr. Lehnherr had a
ranch In company with Ale Smith
upon tbe East Umpqua about 6 miles
above Peel postofllce, where they had
u cabin in whloh Mr. Lehnherr lived,
mostly by himself. They had consider,
able stock ou the range, and had built
a barn lu which they had several toss
hay for winters use. Ou Monday morn
ing, October 7th, about 8 o'clock Ed.
Dompler left there with a load of
boards for Mr. Fred Tipton's. Tuesday
about 12 m. Davo VanEtten called at
the house to see Mr, Lehnherr. He
found the door open, with all tbe ap
pearance of usual good order. The
dishes wero washed and placed in
order upon the shelf, and the bed bad
boon made as usual, indicating that
Mr. Lehnherr bad on tbe morning of
tbat day performed with hla ueual care
and orderly arrangements his house
hold duties.
Not finding him in the bouse he
went to the barn supposing him to be
there, but looking toward the barn
discovered tbat It waa burned down,
Btlll supposing Lehnherr waa some
where on the premises he went by the
burned barn to a garden beyond. But
be did not find him there. He Imase
dlatly started for the poetoMoe three
miles below and reported hi discover
ery of the barn Ulng burned and tbe
absence of Lebnberr, The returning
party from the poetofHoe at Pee), found
hla body among the cinders, Tuesday
evening. Tbe killing of Lehnherr aud
the burning of the bam Is tuppoetd to
have occured about boob Monday,
No clue has been found as to who
committed the deed, nor yet a suspic
ion aa to who It was. The names of
the wltneetea before tbecoroset'a Jury
are E. Dompler, D. Van Xtteu and
