8 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 29, 1895. A TALE OF CONSPIRACY TO FREE DURRANT. GEORGE REYNOLDS SENDS A CONFESSION TO THE CORONER. THE DUPLICATE STRAP. EM EM A SENSATIONAL STATEMENT OF ALIBI TESTIMONY FOR THE WILLIAMS CASE. | | DENIED BY THE DEFENSE. IEVE THE STATE- | BUT WILL | G Now. Another sensation in the Durrant case cropped out yesterday. One George Rey- nolds wrote a letter to the Coroner. If all that this letter tells is true there has been | a conspiracy to suborn perjured testimony to save the neck of Theodore Durrant. Reynolds gave his letter as an ante-mor- | statement, commencing it with (he; rtion, **To-night I will seek rest from | worldly cares in the waters of the ocean | 1 ai all | pared to rebut and demolish it. B | months ago and T was prepared to combat_a story originated by persons who wish to influence the public mind against Dur- rant. Though the Reynolds confession be false in every other particular, the writer un- doubtedly told the truth about the end of the strap he sent to Chief Crowley and the statement that accompanied it. Last evening after a consultation with District Attorney Barnes Dickinson Captain Lees made a statement for publication in the matter. Put in its briefest form that statement is as follows: “I have nothing to say at present.” Prior to this, however, Captain Lees did have something to say. He told the after- noon-paper men that the whole story was true and that there was a great deal more to it than is explained in the letter and its accompanying statement. He admitted that he knew George Reynolds, or knew of him, and that the end of the strap in ques- tion had been in the possession of the police | for some weeks. He knew of the existence | of a plan to introduce testimony similar to that described by Reynolds and was pre- Speaking of this Reynolds letter yesterday Captain Lees is quoted in the Post as having said: There is nothing new in these developments. heard of Reynolds and Thayer severel testimony they put in and expose the perjury. Of course it would have been more effective to have had the exposure come during the trial than in any other way. Durrant is on trial for his life, and I do not blame him for fighting hard to save it. He is behind this job, and the only faultI find with is in the effort he has made to implicate S0 v, ever since the prisoner was arrested he and his me to take Dr. Gibson into custody on sus- v and General | riends have been endeavoring to force | call on some one living oh Fifteenth street, so we took a Valencia-street car and rode out to Fifteenth street. We walked down that street to the street that is before Howard street. I dont know its name, but I know Howard street is a short block fur- ther on. Ileft him at the door of a house near that cross street, but I did not pay much atten- tion as to which one it was. I kept on the same side of the street, and walked along to the next corner to wait for a Howard-street car. I stood by & lamp post on the corner of Fifteenth and Howard streets, on the right hand side go- ing from town. I don’tknow the points of the compass there, but think there are trees on | that corner. I think it must have been be- tween & quarier-past and half-past 8 o'clock, | for I had met Zeckendorff at half-past 7, and we came out at once. AsI walked to the cor- | nerI looked at my watch, thinking that as I | had nothing to do I would go to the theater, but thought it a little late to start from that distance irom the center of town. While I stood there a few minutesaman wearing a long overcoat came along Fifteenth street from Mission, the same way I had come. 1did not pay much attention to him until he | was close up. He looked down Howard street, | as if looking for a car. _As he turned his face I recognized Theodore Durrant and spoke to him. He recognized me and we stood talking for a few minutes. He said he had started out to go to the armory to get ready for a trip in the country on the next day, but after going some distance in a car he had suddenly recol- lected a church sociable at some doctor’s house out at the Mission. I could notsay what name he mentioned. After some talk he suggested that asIhad no particular business on hand we walk out ard street slowly, and when we crossed Six- teenth strect on the further side we met two young men standing there, one of whom we both knew. His name is Frauk Taylor. He in- troduced his companion to us. The name was Harrington, but no given names or initi were mentioned. The four of us stood there probably ten min- utes or so, when Harrington said it was his birthday and invited us Into the bar on that corner to take a drink. the Howard-street side. When we were in there it was twenty-five minutes to 9 o'clock, Durrant joined us when we we came out, and we all walked slowly out Howard street. Harrington and Taylor were both quite joliy and we made slow progress. We were joshing each other and skylarking. I recolléct one place where there were several pieces of lum- ber on the edge of the sidewalk and Taylor | pushed Durrant against them 5o that he tr together, and I agreed. We walked along How- | Durrant refused to | go in, but waited for us outside the door on | T8 BCTLTICy) AR AR TG e pre- | case, although I intended to do so to help m iriend, but & man named Green found me, an: from what he said I suppose Durrant gave him a pointer. He told me about our walk that night. T don’t know any of the attorneys in this case, or Detective Morse or the police. I was never in Emmanuel Church, or much in any church. Iam paying my own expenses in this City. I am positive this walk I speak of was on Good Friday night, April 12, for that was the only night I was in San Franeisco dur- ing that month, Tdon’t thing Durrant knew my address, and Idon’t know his. I used to stop with Emil Boissen when I lived in Oakland, near the foot of Brondway. ‘I suppose I have spoken to a dozen people or more about what I know of this case. I only stay in this City during the winter months if I can get work. I have not telked with either Taylor or Harrington about our walk that night. The foregoing statement covered three pages of legalcap paper, and was backed in regular legal form, though it looked as if the work had been carelessly done, and the backing (of coarse brown paper) did not contain any lawyer's name, as is usual, nor any other marks of identifica- tion. The letter was written on both sides of an almost square white sheet, and the ostmark on the envelope which contained Eoth letter and statement showed that the letter had been taken up in the 5:20 col- lection yesterday morning, and that it had passed ‘through the main Postoffice. Cor- oner Hawkins allowed the newspaper men to take copies of the communications, and then forwarded them at once to Captain Lees. Coroner Hawkins said he had no desire to investigate the letter until he had rea- son to believe that the writer had indeed carried out his threat of suicide. “Both the letter and the statement,” said the Coroner, “have the appearance of being genuine. Durrant or some one con- pared this story, as this man said. The statement shows careful work, and was no doubt drawn up by some one who had made a close study of the case. could prove what is stated in these docu- ments he would go forth from court a free | man.”’ If Durranc A MODEL BANK DIRECTOR, SOMETHING OF THE METHODS BY WHICH THE PACIFIC BANK CAME TO GRIEF.

The loose methods of the directors of the Pacific Bank were strikingly illustrated vesterday in the testimony of Dr. S. F. Long, one of them, in the course of the inquiry going on before Judge Hebbard directed at removing them. Dr. Long testified in the first instance that as director he knew all about the business of the bank, and was familiar with every transaction of the board; that | he never made a motion in the board with- | out thoroughly understanding the subject matter. A. J. Clunie, representing the petition- ers, then asked Dr. Long to explain why he had moved to approve the settlement with | the Chemical National Bank, which mo- tion, it appeared from the minutes, he had | made.

Iwrite thisso you need not have an inguest or any identification. I was some months ego to be a witness in the Durrant case for murder of Minnie Williams.

I ob- | jected, with five other men named Smyth, | Dugan, Stewart, Taylor and Harrington, to | take part in the matter because of the part of | the plan to implicate Preacher Gibson. I as- sisted E.

Smyth was to say | Blanche Lamont was at his house, over near | Haywards somewhere, until Friday, April 5, | when she came away for home. The strap marked with her name I marked myself. The first and last letters are blottea, and there is a | straight line across it ome inch from first | Jetter.

Dickinson’s explanation | sbout the strap is d er, but very improb- able. | 1 am not surprised Deuprey is sick. | I should think Dickinson would be so, | too. Dugan and Stewart were to say they had been to Dr. Anthony’s funeral in Oakland on Friday, April 5, and when return- ing on the boat they saw Miss Lamont on the | boat, the former knowing her. There was also | & plan to produce a bloody handkerchief with letter G on it some four months ago. I let- tered five other handkerchiefs, and Thayer sent them by messenger to Mr. Gibson, with a card written by Smyth saying “From fourlittle intant-class girls.” I wrote letters to Oppen- heim on & sheet of paper like this. The bloody | handkerchief was to be offered ss having been | found in the lot b of the church on Sun- | day, April 14, but it never wes delivered be- cause we declined to take part in the plan to tmplicate Gibson. This is all I got to say; let Durrant tell the Test. GEORGE REYNOLDS, At first blush the letter reads like some of the scores of anonymous communica- tions heretofore received by almost every- body who has been officially connected | with the murders in Emmanuel Church. But closer scrutiny leads to the belief that the crank theory will not explain this | letter and its surrounding circumstances. The man who wrote this statement to the Coroner was in possession of at least one of the secrets of the defense. He had seen and examined very closely the school strap offered in evidence by Mr. Dickinson on the 22d of October, ana which Mr. | Dickinson himself testified was sent | to his office anonymously. The strap in question is almost a fac-simile of the strap that was found around the school books of Blanche Lamont under the: floor of the platform of the belfry. Now, the writer of this ante-mortem confession, as it purports to be, describes this second strap most accurately, and moreover claims to have been the origin- ator of it. Naturally enough, Messrs. Dickinson, Deuprey and Morse deny the truthfulness of every statement contained in the coniession and declare that the whole thing isa hoax or else a malicious picion. They know he is not guilty, but they reasoned that if he were once pluced under arrestit would cause suspicion to uttach to him, and in that way a doubt mightbe created as to Durrant's guilt, So far as the story is concerned it is materi- ally true, but Ido not wish to discuss it now. Mr. Deuprey probably knows something about it, for it formed the basis of the talk in which the defendant’s counsel engaged at the Paluce Hotel a few nights ago. They did not sit on that occasion in a room, but were in & remote corner of the court. This interview was had before the con- ference with Barnes pere and fils took place. At the conclusion of that confer- enc which occurred in Captain Lees’ private office, the veteran detective graciously invited the press to come in and hear his statement to the effect that he had nothing to say. He used a good many words in saying this, and explained that the officials of the prosecution found themselves in rather a delicate position in the matter, and that &fter mature Celibera- tiop it had been decided to neither affirm nor deny any of the statements made pub- lic already by the Coroner. “‘We want the verdict of the jury to be based solely upon the record in this case,” said Lees. ‘“We do not see our way clear to introducs any of this matter in evidence in this case, an in such & position that we shall be able to | use the matter in the Williams case, or not use it, as we may see fit, when the time comes, it is necessary that we should make no statement whatever concerning it."” To all of this District Attorney Barnes | subscribed heartily. “Suppose we should deny the whole thing,’” said Mr. Barnes, “and then after- ward want to use some of it as evidence, we would at once be met with our denials and you, gentlemen, wouid be called upon to prove that we haa denied it. On the other hand, suppose we affirm our belief in this matter, we are equally bound by our stand. It is better to say nothing at all about 1t at the present time, and moreover it would not be fair to the defendant. We do not wish to try the case in the newspa- pers, and if Durrant is to be convicted the verdict must be based solely upon the evi- dence presented in court.”’ And this attitude seems to be final, for the present at least. Captain Lees does not say that at some future time he will not unburden himself concerning George Reynolds. Messrs. Thayer, Smyth, Taylor and al! the others. _ By the first mail yesterday morning Coroner Hawkins received the Reynolds letter and an accompanying typewritten statement, which Reynolds says he learned by rote, so that he could go on the witness stand in the Williams trial and make no mistakes in his testimony. The statement reads as follows: My name is George Reynolds, and I am at present rooming at the Central lodging-house at 871 Market street, below Fifth. I have been there something over a week. I have been doing work on ranches in the neighborhood of San Miguel and San Luis Obispo County, and Icame here looking for work, but thus far I have not been suecessful. I have some little means of my own, and am paying all my ex- penses here. I know Theodore Durrant well, and have been acquainted with him for ten or twelve years. As mearasl can recollect I first met im when his folks lived on Fell street some years ago. 1don’t recollect exactly, but think it mustbe ten years. That is my best recollec- tion. Ilived at that time on Oak street, be- tween Franklin and Gough. There was & row ©of two or three houses and I lived 1n_the mid- dle one. A new row of buildings—flats—have been erected theresince. Theodore and I used to be together con- siderably, but since he moved out o the Mis- sion I have not seen him very often. The last time I saw him was on Friday evening April 12, of this year. I came over from Oakland that evening about hlfl(pult 6 to meet & young man named Zeckendorf in regard to going out early in the summer with a party of haybalers, We met at the Louvre, corner of Eddy and Powell streets.

A little further | along we went into another saloon and had another drink, Durrant remaining outside as | before. We all walked out as far as Twenty- | reet, and after crossing that street we stood in & doorway next to the corner store. We talked some minutes when Durrant said he | had to go upstairs. ile said it was so late that he was almost | ashamed to go in. It must have been fully hali- | past 9 o'clock, for T took a Howard-street car and rode to Fourth and Howard streets, where Igotoff and walked zlong Fourth to Market street. Ilooked at the Chronicle clock, and as 1intended to take the 11 o'clock boatInotea | the fact that I had almost an hour. My recol- lection is that it lacked five or ten minutes of an hour. I stopped at the Cafe Royal and | | | | The Ends of the Duplicate Strap, Showing the Marks Described by George Reynolds in His Confession. finally took a car for the ferry. I think it was the 11 o'clock broad-gauge, but I would not be positive. 1 first read of the murder of Minnie Williams in the Sunday Chronicle, but on the next day, Monday, I went off with'my uncle, John Mun- son, 1o’ his mine near Table Hock, Sierra County, where I remained for two weeks. My uncle lives in Cripple Creek, Colo,, but he mined in this State some years ago and has two or three locations here.” 1 was out with the hay-balers all summer. Idon’t recollect the date we started, but it was early in June. We started from San Jose and went south, working as we went. After the haying season was over 1 did other work on farms right along until I started back to the City, and I have been here ever since. 1 did not volunteer my testimony in this scheme to manufacture evidence, both in the Williams and the Lamont cases, may have a different story to tell when they are put on their oaths before the Grand Jury,” is one of the statements attributed to Captain Lees early in the day, when he had been told that Detective Morse de- clared the whole thing a fake. There are,n fact, many circumstances that go to hear out the statements of Reynolds. He says “there was a plan to produce a bloody handkerchief with a let- ter G on it some four months ni;o.” This was to have been found in the lot back of the church on the 14th of April. ‘There was, in fact, some talk of this bloody handkerchief, and about six weeks ago the full story was published in ThE Carn. The handkerchief came from Mrs. Durrant, who said it was given to her by a stranger, whose name she did not learn. Both Mr. Dickinson and Mr. Deuprey, when asked about the Revnolds confession yesterday, denied all knowledge of any such person and declared there was not a word of truth in the whole story. The trial will go on this morning. The programme is for Mr. Dickinson to con- sume the morning session and for Mr. Deuvrey, who is expected to be well enough to appear, to make the defenses’ closing argument in the afternoon. 5 Mr. Barnes does not expect to talk until ‘Wednesday morning and will not finish until Thursday morning. The man Green, who is named in Rey- nolds’ statement of the testimony he was to give as the person who first called his attention to the walk Reynolds and the others took on the evening of April 12,isa detective in the Morse agency. Green has been working on the Durrant case, and has turned in information about it. He left town early yesterday morning. Durrant was seen last night at the jail, and stated that there was nothing in’the story, that it was purely and simply a fabrication. A search was made along the water front in Oakland last night for Emil Boissen, the man mentioned in George Reynolds’ Jetter. No one could be found who had ever heard of the name. It is not given in the directory, and John Heinbold, who has kept a saloon in that neighborhood for vears, never heard of Boissen. Several police officers who are familiar with that beat never heard of such a name, and regard him as a myth, . “Ido not think Boissen ever had any ex- istence,” said Chief of Police Lloyd to- night. I have never heard of him and I do not find any officer who ever heard of him. am inclined to think the whole Reynolds story is a farce. I attach no im- portance to it, and do not think any one th the story of Durrant else familiar wi would believe in it any more than I do.”” The neighborhood near Haywards is very sparsely settled, and it is possible there may bé some one by the name of but no one of that particular Sm lthe, spelling could be found to-night or could be heard about § dents. — Patent Infr ingement.

The witness, by way of explaining, said the names were all on a ticket. He did not know where the ticket came from— whether or not it simply “blew in,” as Clunie suggested it might have done. Later in the inquiry Dr. Long admitted that actions at all the meetings of the board were governed by the suggestions and recommendations of Manager Farnum and Captain McDonald. He said that at the time the bank failed he believed Dr. McDonald was indebted to the bank, al- though Manager Farnum had testified that the bank owed Dr. McDonald. | "Dr. Long said he had never voted in | favor, of allowing Dr. McDonald (o pur- chase claims, but that he would not be sur- | prised if he had purchased as much as $100,000 worth.
