NEW PLAN
FOR TEACHING HISTORY


NEWARK, Dec. 4:-Before a
monthly meeting of the Historical
Society, held in Newark yesterday
afternoon, Francis B. Lee, of. Tren-
ton, presented a somewhat novel plan
for the extension of the editorial
work of the New Jersey Historical
Society.
The plan as advocated by Mr.. Lee
was the distribution through the pub
lie schools of the state of leaflets con
tanning a topical treatment of i'm
portant facts and movements in this
history of New Jersey.
The plan was suggested, inasmuch
as the pupils of schools, particularly
in the large cities where attendance Is
largely drawn from among the chill
dren of the Notwithstanding
foreign born, have no opportunity of
learning the story of the state.
Following the address a general
discussion was had, the trend of sen
timent being favorable to the speak
er's plan.
Mr.. Lee was introduced by Mr..
Wallace M. Scudder, vice president
of the society.

HIS TRIAL is
NEARING END.
State Attorneys Fierce Attack
on Gillette Counsel Verdict
May be Reached Today.

uERKIMER, Is. Y, Dee. 4-Never
perhaps in the history of Herkilner
county justice lad the closing scenes
OF a murder trial been characterized by
such bitter attacks of counsel as deyel-
oped in the summing up of the Gillette
ease.
Replete rs the trial has been with
surprises and SENSATIONS, none was pre-
pared for the sharp exchange with
which the day closed. Judge Devon
dorf had expected to give the case to
the Jury, but after District Attorney
Ward had spoken for fifteen minutes
court was adjourned.
Former Senator A. NJ. Mills, a close
personal and political friend of the
prosecutor, made the last appeal to the
jury to acquit Chester L. Gillette of
the murder of Grace Brown, his sweet
heart, at Big Moose lake July IL. He
had occupied nearly the Whole of the
session, and it was late in the day
when he dramatically declared that the
five physicians who had sworn that
there was a blood clot Oh Grace
Browns brain had sworn to Il false
hood, that they had got together
and agreed upon a ommon story for
the witness stand and deliberately
withheld testimony favorable to his
client. Intimating that the physicians
We're Improperly influenced, he added:
IF there is an investigation of graft
some Of these five doctors may figure
in it. They were paid large fees TO
give evidence which it was thought
was SO prepared that it would convict
this boy. l charge here and now-and
/ know personally each of the physi-
cians-that they did not bring in all the
facts; they did not report something
favorable to this boy. Each of these
doctors knew that a fraud was being
perpetrated. You can't pick out five
reputable physicians in the county who
would do such a thing as these doctors
did,
AS Senator Mills concluded District
Attorney Ward jumped to his feet and,
interrupting the judge, who had decid-
ed upon an adjournment, launched into
Il scathing denunciation of Senator
Mills and the methods he had taken
to sway the jury over to the defense.
AS he spoke the outstretched and
trembling hand of the prosecutor shook
in the ace of the counsel for the de-
Tense.
when Mr.. Mills stands here and
tells you, as he just has he said,
that those five doctors, reputable melt
of Herllimer county and your friends
who enter your homes perhaps every
day, are liars and burglars he says
that which is not true"
Mr.. Ward added;
Fills whole defense is one Of trickery
and device. He hasn't got Il word OF
evidence. He hasn't got a single fact
in his whole case but which points con
clusiyely to the guilt of the defendant
of the charge implied in the indict-
ment. The only defense he has is one
of trickery and device from long exp
rience to mislcad some %iurymcn.'
In this strain, so excited ut times
that the big audience fairly gasped,
