Herkimer N. Y, Dec. 3.--When thu
trial Of Chester E. Gillette, the young
factory foreman of Cortland, charged
with the alleged murder Of Grace
Brown, his sweetheart, was resumed
today, Silas d. Feeter, civil engineer,
was called by the defense. He said
he had been to South Bay, Big Moose
lake, within few days and made
measurements at the point where the
overturned boat was found.
"At that place the water is seven and
one half feet Deep" he said.
1t had been testified by witnesses
for the prosecution that the water was
four and one-half feet deep where the
boat was found. On cross ss-examina-
ton F'eeter admitted that shrubbery
growing last July Is now covered with
water.
The district attorney then announced
the case for the people closed. De-.
fense had no further testimony to of,
fer. Justice Devendorf asked IL coun-
sci wanted to be limited in the time
bf their addresses.
Il do not propose to limit you unless
you desire It," he said.
There was no request for time limi-
tation.
1T is not believed the case will 60 to
the jury before the middle Of the week.:
It has been known here. for several
days past that under the surface of
things that >the. trial of Chester 2.
Glllettelfor the murder Of Grace Brown
his sweetheart, there was keen ap-
prehensica on the part Of the authori-
ties that demonstration of violence
might be made against the prisoner.
1t developed last evening how far this
fear went when 1t was learned that for
the last forty eight hours the Thirty
first separate company, Herkimer
county's principal militia organization,
has been under orders to answer call
from the district attorney at any mo-
ment.
Should the defense finish its argu-
ment by o'clock Tuesday afternoons.
the district attorney will be able to
close so the case can go to the jury
early Wednesday. Gillette thinks that
no matter what verdict may be returns
ed 1t will not mean sentence to death.
A. M. Mills, in summing UP the case
for the defense, said that ever since ths
arrest of Gillette, the accused had
"been opposed by an almost irresistible
force" that "the prosecution had been
carried to the very limit" He warned
tho jury against giving heed to the
yelping cry Of the public press" that
had been raised against the accused.
and pleaded the good character Of the
accused as discrediting the murder the
ory. Mills contended that the prosecu-
tion had failed to show a motive for
the murder, growing out of the rela-
tions between Grace Brown and Gil-
lette. At II o'clock Judge Devendorn
adjourned court to o'clock, indicating
his determination to get the case to the
Jury tonight
