spite after the ordeal through whicl he passed at the hands of determin ed prosecutor on Wednesday, Chester Gillette to-day resumed his seat or the witness stand prepared to adhere to his story that Grace Brown. whom be is alleged to have slain and left ir Big Moose lake, died the death of . suicide.
 There was big crowd at the court house today. much larger than the spacious court room and its old fash toned gallery were capable of accom- modating. The curiosity of the pub lie has been accused by the announce. ment that Gillette would be on the witness stand again and people flock ell to Herkimer by train, trolley and farm wagon.
 Immediately on the resumption of the trial Gillette took the stand. seat ing himself carefully and comforta- ply and looking intently at his coun- sel. District Attorney Ward eau tioned Gillette that he must face the jury when answering questions. Mir Ward read letter from Gil lette to Grace Brown under date of June 9. in which he said he had been to Little York lake with some fel- lows. They went in bathing.
 Gillette. if you had struck Grace Brown at Big Moose lake and stun told thn nf- fcer?" asked Mir Ward.
 Gillette" asked the district. att0r- ney, If you struck Grace Brown with that tennis rack would you tell this jury you did!"
 T cannot say"
 "Did you hate this girl?" asked the prosecutor, reading from number of letters Miss Brown had sent the defendant ip which she complained of his apparent neglect of her.
 "No. I did not hate her." answered Gillette. Here Gillette diverted his glance from the jury and Mir Ward shouted: Look at the jury and not at your counsel" Messrs Mills and Thomas objected to the district attor- ney's manner toward the witness and court sustained the holding that Mir Ward had no right to so direct the witness in his gaze.
 Taking up the matter of Gillette having received letter. from Miss Brown in which she referred to his contemplated visit to De Ruyter pre- vIous to their departure for the Ad- irondacks in July. the witness denied he was ashamed or feared to be seen with the girl there.
 "Did you know anyone In Hamil- tonY'
 .I did not"
 "she had relatives there. did she noty'
 "I believe she did"
 "Then you wanted her to meet you in Hamilton. where she was known. but where you were not known, and start from there to the Adirondacks, instead of from De Ruyter!"
 'I cannot state."
 'Was i. in April when she left Cortland for South 0tselic that you first knew she was to become motheri"
 ..I cannot state"
 Gillette said he did not remember having been accused by Grace Brown of being the father of her unborn child and declared his attitude toward the girl had not changed from the time he accomplished her ruin in Octo- Der until April when she first discov- cred her condition of pregnancy.
 "Did you still love herf" asked the district attorney.
 "I did" answered Gillette with a sharp nod of the head.
 .when you went away with Grace Brown you intended remaining away from Cortland did you not!"
 Yes"
 Gillette said that when he departed from Cortland he left everything in his room undisturbed and said noth- ing to his landlady about not coming back. The district attorney went into q long series of questions on the sub feet of witness's financial condition at the time be started for the Adiron- dacks and asked him If he had plan ned to use the girls own money in making away with her. inasmuch as DIS ONu Iul<t hu> IdtucN 0FpN-rNta-
