GILLETTE STICKS TO STORY
Alleged Murderer Of Grace Brown
Cross-Exnmined at Length by
District Attorney.

HERKIMER, n. ". Nov. SO-The trial
Of Chester Gillette for the murder of his
sweetheart, Grace Brown. practically came
to a close today so far as the taking OF
evidence Is concerned. The defense while
reserving the right to swear one witness
II It sees 1T tomorrow, rested this after
noon. The remainder of the afternoon was
spent by the district attorney in recalling
several witnesses in rebuttaL
The defense swore several witnesses to-
day. but 50 little was expected of each
one Of them that II was less than two hours
after Gillette himself stepped down from
the stand that Attorney Thomas announced
that the defense rested.
There were no really striking features Of
interest in the case today, outside of those
furnished by the defendants own testi-
mony. Gillette went through the ordeal
Of cross-examination without wavering in
the slightest degree in his testimony as
to the actual death scene on Big Moose
lake. He apparently had made UP his mind
70 take his time IN answering the district
attorneys questions. Gillette withstood the
scorching crosse examination at the hands
Of the district attorney astonishingly well.
When he finally stepped down from the
box he was as calm and unruffied as he
was a week ago, when he sat ipdifferently
all through the court proceedings Gil
lette today swore that many Of the things
he said and wrote and which the prosecu-
iton took as links in its chain of evidence
were simply falsehoods, concocted for one
reason or another, and that many of the
things he had done and that the prosecu-
ton took as indications of guilt, were
merely acts of cowardice.
When Gillette left the witness stand the
defense called its eight OF ten witnesses
to give their opinions of Gillette's char
acter and reputation. Some Of them test-
fed his character was good. but the dis
trict attorney compelled all to admit that
they were not then aware o. Gillette's re-
lations with Miss Brown.
A few persons employed in the skirt
factory at Courtland, where Grace Brown
and Gillette worked, testified that they
heard the girl say that she did not want TO
live and that she was going to leave Court
land. perhaps forever. To these District
Attorney Ward said: You didn't see Gll-
lette irving TO comfort her, did your ana
they replied in the negative
There was some surprise among the spec
tators when the district attorney allowed
Gillette 10 leave the witness box without
a more minute description of the incidents
Immediately preceding the girls fatal
plunge into the lake.

THREE ILLINOIS BANKS CLOSE
McDonOuEh County Concerns that
Financed Electric Railroad
short of Ready Cash.

PEORIA. H.. Nov. s0-Three banking in
stitutions IN McDonough county conducted
by G. V. Chandler Of Macomb closed their
doors today Notices to the effect that the
banks we're short Of ready cash were posted
on the doors Of all the banks. This decision
was reached yesterday upon an examination
OF the books by Mr. Chandler himself T,SS
banks are the Bank Of Macomb, condv ~
by c. v Chandler & Co.. deposits of
and capitalized at $4,000: the Chandi &
lines bank OF Colchester capitalized at S25,-
600 and deposits Of 5000 900, and the Chand-
Ter Smith bank Of Bardolph, capitalized
at $4,000 with $4,000 in deposits.
Tho money OF the depositors in all three
banks has been invested through Mr.
Chandler, the senior member Of the private
banking firms. In McDonough county real
estate. and the immediate cause Of the sus-
pension Of the three institutions Is given
as lack OF ready cash. The Macomb bank
guaranteed the payment Of the bonds Of the
Macomb g. Western Illinois Electric rail-
way, and when the bondholders made de-
mand for their money they absorbed all
the ready cash OF the three institutions.
The following notice appeared on the
doors Of all three banks. signed by c. v.
Chandler and the other members Of the
nrm IN the respective towns:
This bank is closed pending negotiations
subject TO the conversion OF the property
into ready cash. The bank Is solvent and
all depositors will be paid in full There
Is ample property to meet all obligations
and all that is necessary Is q reasonable
amount Of time to convert the holdings
into money.
c. V. Chandler has been in the banking
business In Macomb for a quarter Of a
century, and in addition to his private
holdings Is treasurer of the Western nli-
nois State Normal school of Macomb and
treasurer of the city Of Macomb. 1t is not
thought either the school nor the city will
lose by the failure OF the bank. The state
is protected by a trust company bond and
the citys deposits in the bank are small
at this time of the year.
The liabilities are upwards of S70OO0c,
with unincumbered real estate worth over
$4,000. The mortgages are mostly on
central Illinois farms and are considered
good. There was little show Of excitement
over the closing Of the banks. In Col
chester the major part Of the depositors
are miners
