GILLETTE FOUND GUILTY
Jury Brings in Verdict After Five
Hours Declaration.
WILL BE SENTENCED THURSDAY
Prisoner Breaks Down and Weeps At
ter Taken to His Cell by the
Sheriff.

Court House, Herkimer, N. Y, Dec
5.-Chester Gillette, charged with the
murder of Grace (Billie) Brown at Big
Moose Lake on July il last, was found
guilty by the jury trying his case
last night.
The verdict was returned shortly
after IL o'clock. Gillette took the yer.
dict stoically. He VIII be sentenced
Thursday to death in the electric chair
at Auburn.
Five minutes before eleven fou
knocks were heard On the door of the
jury room. Deputy Sheriff Hadley
went to the door and the foreman saio
he was ready to report. Judge Devon
dorf and the counsel were sent for.
Under-Sheriff Klocke went to the Jail
to bring Gillette. The prisoner was
playing pinochle when the sheriff told
him that he was wanted in court. I'm
ready" was all he said. He was
brought into court. Only a sprinkling
of crowd was outside of the court
houce. Gillette was not molested as
he went to his doom. He took his seat
in court and showed evidence of ner-
vousness.
The judge called the court to or,
der. The jury filed in the room and
took their seats. Quietly the roll was
called and then the clerk almost in
audibly asked:
Have you, gentlemen of the jury,
arrived at verdict?"
Foreman Hatch replied that they
had.
What is your verdict?"
1--WE find the prisoner guilty as
charged by the Indictment"
Gillette nervously wrote message
to his father reading: Convicted; will
write" At the request of Senator
Mills, the jury was polled.
In his cell Gillette broke down and
cried. Senator Mills said an appeal to
a higher court would be made. Sheriff
Richard placed two guards to watch
the prisoner.

NO WAR WITH JAPAN.
JAPAN HAS NO MONEY TO CON.

Special Correspondence.
Washington, d. c., Dec. 5.-"All this
discussion of war between the United
States and Japan, which one reads in
some of the newspapers" said Robert
M. Collins, who has Just returned from
the Orient where he has been for sew
eral years, "is the veriest nonsense.
Japan is not seeking trouble with any
nation, least of all with the United
States In fact, for quarter of a GEN.
tury, at least. Japan will be in no po-
sition to invite a war and it is reason
ably certain that the American gov
eminent will not seek trouble with
the Mikado's country"
For four or five years, Mr.. Collins

Reuters News Agency. of London. He

MORE BEER LESS wHIsKEY.
STATISTICS SHOW AMERICANS
ARE BEER DRINKERS.
Giving Up Drinking of More Ardent
Spirits for That Which Contains
Less Alcohol.
Special Correspondence.

Special correspondence.
Washington, d. c., Dec. "a signifi-
cant feature of the annual report of
the commissioner of internal revenue.
just made public, is the continued ten
dency of the American people to make
beer the national drink. The consump.
ton of ardent spirits shows compare
lively little increase, barely keeping
pace with the increase in population.
Internal revenue officials do not at
tempt to account for the great increase
in beer except upon the theory that
the Americans are giving up strong
drink and turning t. the lighter be-
cause of its small alcoholic contents.
One official stated that the big corpor-
ations of the country object to their
employees freely imbibing in strong
drink or anything that produces intoxi-
beer, against which there is said to be
little prejudice on the part of the EN-
ployers of millions of men. There are
several instances of manufacturing es-
adjustments having opened canteens
where beer can be obtained by their
employees during leisure hours, the
claim being made that this prevents
loss of time in going out for drinks
and conduces content.
For the months of July, August and
September of the present year the tax
paid on. beer was s17,7S6,144 against
s15,907, 541 for the same months of
last year. AS each barrel contains 81
gallons of beer the increase means
57,236,69 gallons more beer. The same
ratio of increase was shown for the
year ended June 80, 1906. The in
come from ardent spirits for the three
months of this year was $31, 1873 ,096
against 29,296,556 for the same three
months of the last year, an increase
of $2,036,539.
The report shows decrease in the
number of retail liquor dealers for the
quarter named, the receipts from that
source having been $2,943,777 against
$2,944,2S5. At the same time the num-
Der of retail dealers in be9er and other
malt drinks has largely increased, the
receipts from that source having been
$19S,177 against s1S2,17S one year ago.
1t is stated that many establishments
for the sale of beer only are being put
in business without the same amount
of objection from temperance commu-
mites as in the establishment of sa-
looms where ardent drinks are disposed
of along with others.

COUNTY COURT IN SESSION.
BEGAN ON MONDAY LAST TERM
OF THE YEAR.
Judge Lemen viii Retire from Office
and MIR. Lemaster viii Take
Charge at Close of Term.

The Berkeley county court began its
last session of the year, and much i'm
portant business viii be transacted
during the present week AS this win
be the last session of the court as at
present organized, the commissioners
will endeavor to settle several mat
ters that have been pending Among
these will be the question Of bridge
across the Opequon at the Sulphur
Spring ford, and on Thursday the com.
missioners of the Jefferson county
court will come to Martinsburg to con.
suit with the Berkeley county court on
this matter. 1t has been proposed that
the bridge be jointly erected by the
two counties, each paying half of the
costs. Among the supporters of the
proposition are many farmers and 9th.
ers living in that section, who some
time ago sent a big petition to the
courts of both counties asking that
the bridge be built. The ford at that
point is regarded as a dangerous one
and two or three deaths from drown.
ing have occurred there.
Another matter to tie disposed of at
the present session will be the ap
pointment of superintendent of the
county asylum. 1t has been the GUS
tom for the court to appoint the officer
at the December meeting, for a term
of one year, and it is expected that
the present superintendent, Mr. d. o.
Bartles, will succeed himself until De-
cember of next year, at which time his
place will be given TO another.
Parish physicians, overseers of the
poor, etc, will also be appointed at
this session.
Judge Lemen will complete the term
for which he was elected with the
present session, and will be succeeded
by Mr. ID. p Lemaster, who was elect.

publicans AS the latter party had
