'"They went away to be relieved OF
the condition under which Grace Brown
labored. 1t was not to murder her
that this boy went"
Mr.. Mills referred briefly TO pathetic
letters OF Grace Brown to Gillette.
Those letters were marvels for a far
mer's daughter. But let no prejudice
arouse in your hearts against the de-
fendant because of that"
Mr. Mills then sketched the depart
ure OF Grace Brown from Cortland for
her home i'm South Otselic. "She was
pregnant" he said, "and knew her con-
dition must soon become known Pub
licly."

He then read extracts from her let
ters TO bear out his contention that
Gillette and Miss Brown contemplated
a visit TO a physician and he impressed
upon the jury at some length that re-
lief from Miss Browns condition was
the one object OF her trip with Gillette.
They went away secretly" he said.
They made their final plans at the
Hotel Martin, Utica, and decided to go
TO Fourth lake. OF course. he put a
fictitious name on the register, he was
not married"
Mr.. Mills said that they had no money
when they started ana that the one
thought was to get away from Grace
Browns home until she had recovered
from the trouble that weighed them
down.
At HOS o'clock Justice Devendorf
ordered a recess to allow an oppor-
tunity TO convene the regular Decem-
Der trial term of the supreme court.
When court re-opened Mr.. Mills resum-
ed his address, speaking OF the trip to
Tupper Lake and their stay at strange
hotel. AT Grace Browns suggestion they
went TO Big Moose lake. These are cir
cumstances TO which the district attor-
ney attaches great Importance. The
district attorney may urge that because

about round-bottomed and flat-bottomed
boats that Gillette had planned the kill

Mr.. Mills referred TO the testimony OF

MOTHER-|N-LAW
AND DIAMONDS
BROKE HARMONY

Mrs. Helen Orton in the superior court
today declared that because OF her fall
ure 10 get along with her husbands
mother, she not only lost a husband but
also some very valuable diamonds.
The husband whom Mrs orton has
made defendant in a suit for trover and
conversion is William Orton.
Last November the wedding bells rang
for the young couple Mr.. Orton had en-
deared himself TO the present plaintiff
in the FIRST days OF their courtship by pre-
senting her with handsome diamond en-
Cngement ring.
The night OF their marriage he gave her
a more beautiful specimen In the diamond
line, and once after that he presented
her with duplicate of his first gift
According TO the plaintiff the voyage
over the matrimonial sea was very
smooth for seven months. Then, she
says, the husbands mother began to
take too direct an interest in the man
agement OF the bark meant only for
two. The husband sided with his
mother
There was trouble and efforts to
reconcile the husband and wife failed.
As she was leaving his home for the
last time she went TO take her dia-
monds
Mr.. orton claimed them. and fnlaly
took them away, with the remark that
he had paid good money for them.
An attorney was consulted and de-
mand made for the gems. Certain
rings were returned TO Mrs. Orton;
and she was suspicious and told her
attorney, who did not claim 10 be an
expert on anything but law.
Mrs. Orton saw a jeweler and he
pronounced the stuff in the rings glass.
Then the suit was begun, II being al
legged the diamond rings were worth
$500 each In the SiXt hdistrict court
the plaintiff was given decision for Sl75
and defendant took an appeal.
Today Judge Tanner heard the case
without a jury. Cooney & Cahill rep
resent Mrs Orton and Page & Cush-
ing the husband.
