was lcft blank. and this blank was uxtany
filed by the testimony OF Mrs. P C. Carey
Of East Orange, N. j., who haasd Q cry
coming from the direction OF South RayyR
near the place where the girls body vss1
found. :
1T was the sharp cry Of some ous IN
peril, = she said, coming from the distances
in the direction OF the west shore Of South.
Bay. 1t was a two-syllable cry. and the
cry Of a woman or young boy-high md
piercing. No man could nave made ~
sound like that
For a week the crowd which has dsilys
lammed the court room has been waitina
for this sensation which the District At-i
torney had promised them. To-day they
got il. 1t was much the same kim ot
morbid, sensation loving crowd that has
made the lives OF the balifs and deputy
sheriYs a misery for the last few days
Al noon the spectators going out wersi
met by Just as many more coming In to-
obtain their seats for the afternoon session. ,
These persons, mostly women, brought
their luncheon and their children andS
formed little picnic parties round the.
court, eating, chatting and staring csui-t
ously until the noon recess should 30 over
and the afternoon session should bring
! other people curious as they and ths prisonert
whom they had taken so much palms.
to be able to stare at since the first day v
when the mass OF persons In the oourt
room made the bearing OF evidence almost
an impossibihty.
An order has been In effect that when
the court room Is filed and the gallery q
damned no more spectators shall be ad-
mitted. Those who are shut out, and whose
number sometimes reaches in to the high
hundreds, swarm around in front. pushing
for places near the door, and when one

deputy at the door for admission
Each afternoon as he is brought from
the jail Gillette. too. has to face this mas
of faces and push through the jam In front
OF the jail for a rapid walk 10 the court
house. He has become used to IL, and in
spite OF the feeling Of the crowd, which
IL apparently far from a friendly one, he !
seems to thoroughly enjoy the daily rush :
and the fact that he is the cause OF the
gathering. That, too, is his attitude in :
court. During a recess to-day a photogra- T.
pher tried to get his picture, and to prevent
him the prisoner held a paper Up before his
face. some of the women b had their
lunchw with them got to their feet and giggled.
Gillette appeared to also relish the Joke,
for he smiled broadly and turned half \
around toward the persons behind him. !
He maintains this attitude in spite Of the
fact that thread by thread and strand by
strand the prosecutor is winding a web
about him that can only be broken through !.
by the prisoner taking the stand himself and =
proving TO the satisfaction Of the jury
that the story he tells il true,
Mrs. Carey took the stand late in the
afternoon. and the crowd which had been
getting tremors from a lot of smaller .
sensations held itself rigid for the great '
one. II was between five minutes before
and five minutes after o O'Clock on the s
evening of July II, she said, when sho
and her husband were crossing from their
camp on one side of South Bay TO Careys .
Inn on the other. As they got near the
middle Of the bay she heard a cry. 1T was
sharp and penetrating" she said, and
sounded like the frightened utterance OF
some one in peril or in pain. 1t came
from a distance and apparently was from
the inner part Of the bay, and might have
come from the little branch OF South Bay
which il called Punkie Bay"
WAS il the cry of a woman" asked the
prosecutor.
YES, l think TO-" .
"It couldn't have been the cry OF a
mani"
mo, only a woman or a small boy could
have made a sound 80 shrill and pene-
trating."
1t was apparently at some distance,
however, for her husband. who was in the
bOet with her, did not hear it.
Il listened, " said Mrs. Carey, but l could
not hear it again"
1t was a two syllable cry" said Mrs.
Carey, and no cross-examination by Mr..
Mills later could shake her in this convic-
ton.
Before Mrs. Carey ven on the stand the
prosecutor had traced Gillette and Grace
Brown to the shore Of the lake, where An
drew Morrison, who kept the boat livery,
had rented Gillette a craft. The girl had
taken her seat in the stern, while Gillette,
with his oars had taken a seat near the bow.
Into the boat, Morrison testified, Gillette
put a suit case, to which was strapped a
tennis racket in a brown canvas case and
an umbrella, the handle Of which, he said,
was about six inches long.
On the same day, at about 1 O'Clock,
Edward o. Stanley, brother OF Mrs. Carey,
while standing on the shore Of Big Moose
Lake in front OF his camp on South Bay,
saw a boa go by toward the east. In it
we're a man, a woman and a suit case. The
man was in the bow and the woman in the
