of Chester s. Gillette, charged with the
murder Of Grace Brown, attracts wide
spread attention here.
Gillette has told his counsel that be
has every confidence in his ability to
convince the jury of his innocence, and
that it was the shame of a fatherless child
which led Grace Brown to take her own
life Gillette will tell the details of his
relationship with Grace Brown from the
time of their first meeting until she fed
in terror that last fateful night on the
lake when she plunged with cry into
the water because he told her that they
had reached the parting OF the lovers
lane.
The prisoner has carefully rehearsed in
his cell the story he will tell on the wit
ness stand. He says he is ready to meet
the searching inquiry of the prosecu-
tons cross examination.
Counsel for Gillette do not believe the
State has any evidence which will cause
them to change their present plan OF put
ting Gillette on the stand.
Gillette's perfect confidence in him
self and his cool nerve when the State
briggs damaging testimony against him,
has caused his counsel to feel that he
will make good witness and because OF
bis story, well told, creates that saving
element reasonable doubt.
Miss Frances Brown, sister OF Grace
Brown, was a witness today, and identi-
fed the clothing Of her dead sister,
which she wore the day she was drowned.

had helped Grace make the clothes
which we're to be the wedding trOusseau
Mrs. ]. NJ. Cum, of South Oiselic, a
dressmaker, identified several pieces OF
clothing which she said she had made
for Grace Brown before she left for the
Adirondacks with Chester +. Gillette.
The testimony indicated that Grace
Brown believed that Chester Gillette
might marry her up to the last day on
tho lake aud that she was preparing for
the wedding. Mrs Brown, mother Of
the drowned girl, sobbed bitterly as ste
saw piece after piece OF the clothing
picked up and identified as belonging to
her child.
The story of a lovers waning affection
was told today in the correspondence OF
Grace Brown and Chester L. Gillette,
introduced in evidence against Gillette.
The letters disclosed the fact that Gil
lette had tired of his sweetheart, who
was about to become q mother, and
wanted to get rid of her. The girl chung
to him to the end and begged him to
save her from the shame of her life.
G llelte listened to the reading with tears
in his eyes. His head rested 10 his hand
and he displayed his first emotion in the
trial. These letters were found in Gil
lette's room and in the trunk
District Attorney Ward read the last
letter which showed that Gillette had
sent for Grace Brown TO take the trip ia
