Sembrichs Mimi. The audience, which
was brilliant one. gave the tenor a
cordial reception, which was accepted
By his friends as a public vindication.
There had been much speculation as to
how the singer would be received and
some litue fear of a hostile demonstra-
ton. To quell the latter it developed
the house rad been picketed with DO
lice, tho Interference of which. how
ever, was not required.
At the moment when the front cur

ers would permit Caruso in La Bo-

East St. Louis, ILL.,, Nov. 2S,-A large
brick building on Missouri avenue,
which was leased last week by the

Has Ever Experimentation Nearly
Seven Hours He Strives to Bear Up
Under the strain OF Cross Examina-

Herkimer, N. Y, Nov 2S,-With
heavy head and unsteady gait, and with
eyes that were bleared and weary,
Chester E. Gillette presented a specta-
Gle of physical and mental exhaustion
when he stepped from the witness
stand at o'clock tonight. He was
the star witness in his own behalf on
the charge Of having murdered his
sweetheart, Grace Brown,
Gillette to-day went through one of
the most trying ordeals that a witness
ever experienced. Surrounded by an
almost inexhautlble nldss OF cireum-
stantial evidence that seemed to point
to his guilt, he took the stand, and
for nearly seven hours, strove to bear
up under the strain of cross-examina-
tion, and to describe to the jury how
Grace Brown died Much Of this time
he was under cross-examination, and
the district attorney was merciless in
his questioning
Having assured his lawyers that he
was equal to the strain, Gillette was
called as the defenses first witness
His step was steady, his nerves firm
and his answers quick, as in response
to questions from his senior counsel
A. NJ. Mills, he declared that Grace
Brown stood up In the boat, and threw
herself in the lake. But his brief d.
rect examination was followed by q
searching cross-questioning which was
not completed when at 6 O'clock Judge
Devendorf adjourned court until Fri,
day During his ss-examinatior
Gillette made no admissions that The
story he told his own lawyers abou
| the way Grace Brown died was untrue
but it seemed to be a struggle for hin
to keep up his nerve during this Ions
and incessant siege. Late in the after
noon his eyes began to take on a tiret
look, his voice weakened until his owl
lawyers had to beg him to speak up
and his head dropped on one side, ant
swayed perceptibly as the prosecutor
faced him with questions of his love TO
