STORY PITIABLY WEAK

Offer Plea of Murder in
Second Degree.

HERKlMER, n. Y, Nov 29.-Chester
Gillette is IN a partial state of col
lapse. in Herkimer Jail, today.
unnerved by the fierce lashfng of tho
prosecutors discrimination. Gil
Iette broke down when he returned to
MS cell, last night. He rested all night
under the influence of powerful seda-
yves. His counsel may offer a plea of
murder In the second degree. District
Attorney Ward said today that he would
not accept IT,
Gillette. with his counsel for three
nights in his cell carefully went over
the story he told the jury. The prose
cution may call a witness who heard
the rehearsal OF that story. which. 1t
Is said. varies much from the one
which Gillette told on the witness stand.
Picture Of Despair.
Chester Gillette was the picture Of alb
5ect despair singularly mixed with
british bravado. on the witness stand.
He spoke OF taking a train with the
same droning monotone as when he
lolled lazily back in the witness chair.
and said
''She went overheard.
All during the long Crnss-eXaminatIOn
he lounged back in the chair his head
Jammed down into his collar, and made
his answers
Gillette did not At first comprehend
the questions Of the prosecutor. Then
II came TO him that he was admitting
that he had not been afraid as a rail-
road brakeman: that he had sailed alone
70 Hawaii and feared nothing; that tbe7,
as the prosecutor asked. why was be
afraid to tell that Grace Brown took
her life? The prosecutors Questions
came necessarily and sharply. Gillette
tr1eu tutllely TO gather their import. He
knew that questions vital to his life
were being put to him. and in his dun
heavy. mental operation tried to frame
answers that would save him from dam
aging confessions
Makes Stereotyped Answer.
Cornered. he would lapse into his
sleFeotyped answer. I'm not positive"
1t was the indehniteness which caused
the prosecutor TO openly charge that the
prisoner had been instructed 70 answer
vaguely all important questions.
Gillette's ashen face took on a more
deathly hue when he saw that he was
helplessly giving answers TO questions
which he could not comprehend. He
pressed MS hand against his face. as if
10 drive the nUmbuess Of nervous ten
sion from his cheeks.
He evidently realized that he was no
match for the prosecutor and he felt
the coiling bands of guilt. but he could
not dOVe-tail truth with mlssJatement /
" hen he went 20 his cell he broke down
and cried.
Weak Story Of Accused.
His story of Billy Browns death
was pathetic in its weakness. There
was no detail Of the tragedy. only two /
bald statements that the girl went over !
board and that he was thrown in the /
water wnen the boat overturned. while /
trying 10 get near her. GIuette's atror-
neys hope he may be In good enough /
condition to meet the crOss-examluatf6n /
which will take him, point by point, over /
his whole story.

Beside the corporate opposition to
the drainage scheme there are few
who take the position that they are
not in sympathy with the large land
owners who are fighting the scheme,
but az q business proposition, are OPP
posing the scheme Of draining land
belonging 10 land syndicates, and that
the suits now pending In the courts
may give all the land TO those claim
ants. Admitting that the lands be-
long to the railroads, IL IL not fact
that n the amendment IL adopted that
every acre OF land drained under It's
provision will be- compelled TO nay
for It's own drainage? II indeed VIC
fnil to adopt the amendment, why, in
that case the State might do some
drainage work for the land syndicate
without compensation II indeed we
want To guard against draining lands
FOR these big land owners for nothing,
by all means adopt the amendment.
Adopt the amendment and every acre
Of land drained will pay It's own bill,
irrespective OF Ownership.
The amendment Is right Vote for

No use for the opposition to the
drainage scheme to deny that corpor-

good people OF this fair State OF ours
to fee from the wrath to come. The
opposition managed to rope in three
of Lee county's citizens and get them
to sign that circular. They live In
Fort Myers. outside the district, and
II any one of them owns land In the
district the writer don't know 1t. Then
look at the names who represent De-
Soto county. All of them except one
live in Arcadia, outside the drainage
district. What lands they own In the
drainage district upon which they pay
taxes should be on the tax books and
what It Is valued at the records Will

One or two Of the lucky number
thirteen live In Kissimmee, many
miles away from the drainage district.
and hardly own any lands subject to
this drainage tax.
The writer mentions this to show
to what extreme length the oppOsi
ton have gone to mislead the good
people of.this State. But the half has
not BEEN told. The most unfair and
most hard-hearted thrust was the one
made at the Okeechobee excursion by
some men and some papers.

amendment should be adopted, while
they knew that only swamp land could
be assessed, and that only In well de-
hned districts. and tina t no. man
not owning swamp land In such dis
tricts would have to pay single cent.
The opposition made a vigorous ef-
tort to lead the public to believe that
the people, the small land owners liv-
ing within the drainage district We're
opposed to the drainage scheme, while
the contrary has been shown In, no
mlstakable manner. Eighty-flve Citi.
