Slightly Misinformed.—The Catholic Mirror, under the heading "Horrible Depravity of a Minister," says:—
"The death-bed confession of Rev. Mr. Gibson, pastor of the Baptist Church of San Francisco, in which a few years ago two young ladies were killed, a crime for which Theodore Durrant was hanged, reveals a frightful state of moral depravity on the part of a minister of the Gospel."
Now all of that would be very appropriate were it not for three things: (1) Most people thought that it was quite clearly proved that Durrant committed the crime. At least so decided the jury and judge. (2) Mr. Gibson is not dead. He still preaches in the same church. (3) He has made no confession of the murder, "death-bed" or otherwise. It may not be known to many of our readers that Theodore Durrant became a Catholic just before his execution.
