MISS GILLETTE'S CASE.
Judge Charles S. Hayden of Fitch
burg who has appeared as counsel for
Miss Gillette, stated Monday that the
people of Fitchburg who had seen fit
at one time to oppose her admission,
had been waiting seven weeks to com
plete their petition of remonstrance,
but, for some reason or other, of late
nothing has been heard of it. 1t ap-
pears doubtful to him if any further
| move is made, aside from what petty
talk may be INDUCED in from time to
time, as few are ready to sign petit
tion in black and white and state their
reasons openly why they should be op-
posed to the admission. The opposition
to Miss Gillette has won her influential
/ friends all over the state, and when
the state examining board takes official
/ action upon the matter the influence in
her favor will receive the opposition
with winning grace.
