white powder believed to be a high
explosive. There was also something
that looked like brown wrapping pa

who is on the ground, has recognized
this man as one who was in the ia
nous Bull Pen after the Occur d'Alene

been confirmed. The officers deter

oAKylLlE HAPPENINGS

Judging from the Increasing num- Der of trunks coming through the village of late and evidently carry ing their loads from Waterbury, a patrol wagon would do fairly good business here. One fellow came up the hill near the depot yesterday af- ternoon and had such a load on that he didn't notice a box car standing on siding until he bumped into it.. Another chap with a very heavy load staggered off the 5 o'clock trolley car from Waterbury, and could hard ly be convinced that he was not at his home in Bridgeport. Still an- other stumbled of the o'clock car last night and nearly fell in front of the Watertown train, which he boarded with much difficulty.

man Says "Guilty."
 HERKIMER, N. Y., Nov. 15.-The law yers in the Gillette murder trial con tinued the selection of n jury which has been in progress all the week. The prosecution is ready to submit testi- mony that Chester Gillette had wrong ed Grace Brown under promise of marriage and that then. when he wish ed to marry Nettie Benedict, he lured Miss Brown to lonely Big Moose lake. enticed her into boat and upset 1t and drowned her.
 The defense will be that Grace Brown was accidentally drowned. Net tie Benedict is expected to swear that she and Gillette were not engaged and that there was no love between them.
 Probably the most powerful link in the chain of purely circumstantial evi- dence the state will introduce will be the actions of Gillette after the drown ing of the girl. Leaving the swamped boat and the dead girl, he did not re- turn to the lodge at the head of the lake, where he had obtained the boat, but cut through the dense woods of

the Adirondacks, walking many miles in an effort to reach Gray's Landing. On his way he met two guides, to whom he spoke and from whom he asked directions. He did not tell ei. ther of the tragedy. It was not until after his arrest that he said Miss Brown had tried to change places with him in the boat, when the craft upset and both were sent into the water.
 Dramatic scenes marked the proceed ings. When the young prisoner walked into court he found himself face to face with the parents of the dead girl. This is the first time they had attend ed the trial. Young Gillette was visi- ply affected. He paled, and his foot steps faltered for moment. Then he gazed on the floor and walked on.
 Mrs. Brown, the mother, clutched her husbands arm while the latter glanced at the prisoner.
 Gillette lost his calm demeanor, how ever, when he found himself face to face with Frances Brown, sister of the Big Moose lake victim. She bears a striking resemblance to the girl that was killed, 90 much so that the sisters were often taken for twins.
 A sensation was caused when one of the talesmen being examined as to his fitness to serve replied that he believed Gillette to be guilty.
 The talesman was Henry J. Smith of German Flats. Smith when asked if he had formed any opinion in the case promptly answered:
 "Yes. He's guilty"
 During most of the proceedings Gil lette maintained smiling demeanor and chewed gum nonchalantly.
