There Is No Truth in It.

By Editor

Several years ago there were committed in a Baptist Church in San Francisco the horrible murders of two young women. Theodore Durant was tried for one of these murders, found guilty, and executed according to law. No well-grounded suspicion pointed to any other party or parties as being implicated with him. Notwithstanding all this, reports have been persistently circulated in the East, stating that the pastor of that church, Dr. Gibson, has since confessed to the crime. This, we believe, is the fourth time the Signs has denied this, in response to questions from correspondents. Mr. Gibson has made no such confession, and is still pastor of that church. It is about time that the falsehood died.
