summer SoJournef IN RotronoackS De-
clares She Listened to Cries of "a
Person in Perii"-Prisoner's Counsel
Says Girls Letters Will Aid In Their
Clients Defense.
Herkimer, n. T., Nov. 22-District
Attorney Ward continued to forge the
links N the chain of circumstantial evil
dence he is endeayoring to weld about
Chester E. Gillette, who is on trial
for his life as the alleged slayer of his
sweetheart, Grace Brown, of Cortland.
Mr. Ward is presenting his evidence
in the form of a narrative -picturing
as many events in the lives of the two
young people from the first time they
were thrown together until the body
of the girl was found in Big Moose
lake last July as he has been able to
trace from minute study and investi-
cation of all their affairs
The prosecutor succeeded, against
the bitter protests of the defendants
counsel, in getting before the jury
what is said to be his lost direct eyi-
dence that a crime was committed
that eventful day in the Adirondacks.
Heard Woman's Screams.
He put upon the stand Mrs. Mar
garet Carey of East Orange, N. j., who
with her husband had zone for a row
in the south bay of Big Moose lake the
evening young Gillette and Miss
Brown set out upon the journey which
ended in the latter's death. Mrs. Carey
declared that she had been startled
by hearing piercing scream coming
from near the east shore of the bay
1T was the cry of a person in peril"
the witness added.
This voluntary statement called forth
a storm of objections from the defense,
and it was ordered stricken from the
records. Mrs. Carey was allowed to
state it as her opinion that the cries
were undoubtedly those of woman
''They were too shrill to be anything
else" she. asserted.
Here again objection was interposed
by the defense, but this time Judge
Devendorf allowed the testimony to
stand. Exceptions We're noted.
Couples Travels Traced.
The district attorney slleteaed in -tes--
timony the travels Of Gillette and
Grace Brown on their. second day in
the Adirondacks. He took them by
train from Tuppers to Big Moose.
There they went to a hotel where they
did not register as man and wife. Gil
lette used Miss Browns real name,
but styled himself Carl Graham, Al
banyr
Witnesses were next introduced to
tell of the young couple going. for the
fateful row upon the lake 1t was
here that Gillettes counsel made much
of an admission secured from one of
the states witnesses, the proprietor of
the Glenmore hotel at Big Moose lake.
He stated that Gillette had told him
that he and the young lady wished to
take a ride on the lake in the steam
boat The hotel man, Andrew Morri-
son, told Gillette that if he went by
steamer be would not be able to re-
turn in time for dinner. Morrison de-
clared it was he who suggested to Gil
