PRISONERS MOTHER IN COURT.
Had Arrived From Denver In Time to
Hear Gillette's Sentence.

Herkimer, Dec. IL. - Chester Gill
lette, 20 years Of age, the convicted
slayer of Grace Brown, his sweetheart,
was sentenced to death yes erday BIZ
Judge Devendorf. Unless the expect
ed appeal to higher court acts as q
stay of execution, Gillette will die in
the electric chair at Auburn prison
during the week of Jan. 2S. Such was
the judges order.
The courtroom was crowded to its
capacity when Gillette was arraigned
for sentence. The prisoner, however.
was not the only object of curious
eyes. His mother was in court near
him. She had arrived from Denver
during the night and startled the au-
thorities and public alike by declaring
that she had come to report the trial
for two newspapers.
At first the authorities questioned
her identity and she offered speci-
men of her handwriting which cor
responded with that of the letters Gil
lette had received from his mother.
In court Mrs. Gillette surprised every
one by calmly sitting through the pro
ceedings as her son was sentenced to
death, and later writing business-like
bulletin of the news for the papers she
represented.
She refused to submit to a lengthy
interview because, she said, her views
had been sold to papers that would
pay her for them
She pleaded with other newspaper
correspondents to use her gently In
their stories, offering as an excuse for
her willingness to serve her papers
the statement that she would not have
been able to have gotten to Herkimer
in another way.
Gillette's iron nerve remained with
him and he stood calm throughout and
argued with the judge why sentence
should not be passed. When his OBJ
lection was set aside and sentence
pronounced he coolly took his seat.
Fifteen minutes afterwards he was
playing cards in his cell with his
guard.
Charles d. Thomas, Gillette's junior
counsel, moved that the verdict be set
aside on the grounds that the court
was without jurisdiction, the term be-
Ing an extraordinary one called by the
governor that the verdict was con.

was denied.
Gillette will not be taken to Auburn
until Monday.

Religious Crisis In France.

France seems to face a great relig-
ious crisis. Reports of the pope's rejec-
tion at the 11th hour of government s
final proffer, under which Catholic
worship was to be continued under the
common law, turned out to be true.
The deadlock now is apparently COM
plete. According to the popes orders
declarations under the law of 1881 are
prohibited, but the parish priests must
remain in their churches until driven
out by violence.
The government regards the action
Of the pontiff as little less than a sum-
mons of the French Catholics to open
rebellion, as rendering the situation
exceedingly grave, and possibly as en-
failing the most deplorable conse-
quences.

Test Suit on Eiqht.Hour Law.

Cincinnati, Dec. 10.-The supreme
court of the United States will be
asked to pass on the constitutionality
of the eight-hour labor law, the first
action to that end being taken in the
United States district court here Sat
urday The case was that of the Sher-
idan Kirk company, recently convict
ed of employing laborers for more
than eight hours day on contract
on a government dam below this city.
The motion for new trial was over
ruled, and the attorneys gave notice
that on a writ of error the case would
be taken to the United States supreme
court on the ground that congress had
no power under the constitution to
pass such law.

ROBBERS TORTURE GIRL.
Charred Body Found In Ashes by
Mother and Brother-Alone In
the House.

GAINESVILLE, o., Dec. S.-Miss Sarah
Wiley, a helpless young woman, was
cremated in her home two miles from
New Concord Wednesday night, and
there are evidences that she was the
victim of an atrocious crime. The
girls widowed mother, Mrs. Mary Wi.
ley, and son, John Wiley, managed a
large farm, the mother and her two
children living there alone. Late in
the afternoon Mrs. Wiley and her son
drove several miles on business er.
tand, leaving Sarah alone The latter
was left sitting in an invalids chair.
Returning home late at night Mrs.
Wiley and her son found their home
in ashes. Among the ruins they found
the charred remains of Sarah Wiley.
The supposition is that robbers en-
.ered the home and looted tho iooms
in search Of valuables. 1t Is believed
they sought by cruelty to compel the
invalid girl to disclose the hiding
place or supposed valuables and money
and that upon her refusing they set
fire to the house. Her body was
found in the ashes several feet from
where her chair had been left stand
ing.
1t is not known whether the burg
lars secured any valuables. Mrs.
Wiley is uncommunicative on the sub.
iect, and the house having been burn
ed she is in doubt as to what may have
become of its contents. None of The

Testimony In the Shea Trial.

Exposure of the methods employed
In Chicago by teamsters to try
to win strike in 1906 was given in
the trial of President Cornelius P.
Shea of the Teamsters union, and his
fellow labor leaders, by Joseph
Schultz, slugger, who with Albert
Young turned states evidence. Schultz
declared that Shea had told him to
break the legs and arms of the
strikebreakers and especially to at
tack the negroes. When this means
of bringing about the desired results
did not work satisfactorily, Schultz
asserted that Shea ordered the hired
picket to throw egg shells filled with
acids at horses driven by non-union
men. The acid throwers, according
to Schultz, were responsible for many
runaways and were regarded as
great aid in the fight against the en-
ployers.

Course with No Speed Limit.

The Automobile Club of America
held its annual banquet Saturday
night in New York Toasts were re-
sponded to by General Horace Porter,
William X. Vanderbilt, Jr.; Lieutenant
General Nelson A. Miles and others.
Colgate Hoyt, president of the club,
was POSTMASTER
Mr.. Vanderbilt's theme was "The
Long Island Motor Parkway" He
said 1t had been the dream of automo.
bilists to own perfect car and to op-
crate it over course where there was
no speed limit. Such a course he felt
was about to be realized.
He said it would be constructed of
macadam and would be free of wagons
and other vehicles. No grade cross
ings were to be on the road. and the
entire distance was to be fenced in,
with occasional gates to permit per-
sons crossing it. The road was to be
oiled and kept free from dust.
Then he said automobilists could
speed and be free from arrest for
speeding. 1t would permit racing men
to test their cars and also permit those
living on the island to come to the
city without having to check their
speed. The right of way principally
had been donated.
The cost, he said, would be about
$1,500,000 for the construction of 60
miles of roadway and 100000 already
had been subscribed. In the end it
was hoped there would be roads of
similar kind connecting Boston, Phil
adelphia, Albany and other cities In
conclusion, Mr. Vanderbilt said he
thought the proposed road would have
the support of all automoblists.

The heroism of the volunteer fire.
men who died attacking the fire was
matched by the heroism of Schmuck,
who re-entered the flames in futile eff
fort to save Nichols, his room mate,
and who died later from his injuries;
and by the courage of McCutcheon,
who remained in the flames until ia
tally burned to assist his comrades to
escape. Pope, who is a freshman, re-
ceived his injuries while seeking to
rescue other members of the fratern-
ity.
The cause of the fire probably will
never be known.
The building is an unsightly wreck,
with no particle of its inner furniture
Cornell is deprived of
one of its landmarks. The lodge was
built in 1881 by Jennie McGraw Fiske
at a cost of $13O,00O. The daughter of
the lumber king, John McGraw, who
was one of Cornell's early benefactors,
however, never enjoyed her palace,
and entered 1t only after death.
Around the house have clustered the
of the great fight for the
Fiske millions waged between Profes-
sor Willard Fiske, the husband, and
Judge Boardman, as the representative
Of Cornell to which Mrs. Fiske had
left the bulk of her estate.
