Gillette's Mother
Takes All Blame
SAYS HER BOY is THE VICTIM OF
PARENTAL INFLUENCE AND
LACKS sELF-coNTRoL.

DENVER, Col. Dec. S.-When Mrs
Loise Gillette, mother of Chester Gil
lette. was told that her son had, 1t
was reported, confessed to the murder
of Grace Brown, she broke down pitt
fully and held herself to blame for the
crime, attrtbuttng parental influence
as the cause.
"I want to say to every young wo-
man in the country that She may find
a profitable lesson in my bitter expert
ence," she said. "If mothers would
avoid the agony I am now enduring let
them guard their thoughts, learn to
control themselves and keep Jealous
watch over their impulses, for what
they are their children will be.
"What was before Chester was
born Chester is now paying for. He
was my first child, and before his
birth I had not learned to control my.
self. | gave way to fits Of passion, to
every whlm that swept my fancy. I
became slave to my anger and made
life miserable to all about me. Then
Chester came, and day by day I saw
myself living over again in him. He
also gave way to fits of violent temper
and sought provocatlon for quarfels.
He is now paying the price for my
failure at self-control before his
birth" 81.
