His Own Behalf.
SUICIDE PLEA TO BE DEFENSE

Attempt VIII Be Made to Show That
Dead Girl Killed Herself When Hope
of Marriage Faded - Woman Offers
Jail Barber $1,000 to Cut Prisoners
Throat When Shaving Him.
Herkimer, N Y, Nov. 26-The trial
of Chester Gillette. for the murder of
his youthful sweetheart which has at
tracted such wide attention, was re
sumed here District Attorney Ward
is trying to complete the case Of the
prosecution today, so as to permit the
defense to open tomorrow
Gillette spent a quiet Sunday at the
Jail, resting much of the time in men
tai and physical preparation for the or
deal when he will go upon the stand
and tell bis story of Grace Browns
death.
Gillette expects to be called not later
than Tuesday or Wednesday. What
explanation he will make of his COM
panion's death has been carefully
guarded by his counsel, who have not
admitted what the line-of defense will
be-
Defense TO Make Suicide Plea.
It is generally expected, however,
that the claim will be set up that the
mill girl committed suicide when she
was convinced that Gillette, who had
taken her to Big Moose lake, did not
intend or did not wish to make her his
wife. In this connection the letters
from the girl to Gillette and which the
prosecution read in court are expected
to play a part In some of these let
ters the girl expressed the wish that
she should die, in others her belief that
she would not live long, while she in
timated that her death might be a de-
sirable end to all their troubles.
Gillette has shown remarkable forti-
tude thus far, and his attorneys expect
that he will prove a good witness
Witnesses are not allowed to leave
Herkimer, even when they have told
their stories. The lawyers want all of
them at hand so that they can be re
called at any time. These witnesses,
over 100 in number, are endeavoring to
be patient, but they are already talk
ing about Thanksgiving turkey and the
obligation Of eating at home with their
families. 1t is probable that the court,
if it has any notion of sitting through
the holiday, will be petitionei to take
a days rest on Thursday.
Offers Reward For GilIette's Death.
Eyes, I offered $1,000 to the prison
barber to let his razor slip and cut
Chester Gillette's throat. Ever since
Gillette has been a prisoner / have
wanted to see him killed. l think the
facts in this terrible case justify me-"
Mrs. Margaret Hubbard, we'll to do
widow of Herkimer and proprietor of
the Hubbard hotel, with these words
dissipated the mystery surrounding her
identity as the woman who, the prison
barber declared had offered him a re-
ward to put Gillette out of the way"
In brief session District Attorney
Ward failed to reach the evidence OF
the physicians in the Gillette murder
case. The first intimation of the de-
fense's claim that abrasions on Grace
Browns body were made after it was
removed from the water came out
when the driver of the wagon in which
the body was taken to the station was
cross. examined He denied that the
road was rough.

grades of the Siskiyous. The portion
of the present line between Weed and

still the costIiest division for the South

are used on every train in making the
grades and often four and ave are re-
quired.
The Klamath route. which will take
the place of the present line. will give
the Southern Pacific an easy grade ana
slight curves over the mountains. The
points to be crossed are Just as high
as those on the Mount Shasta division.
but the slopes are more gradual Extra
engine service will probably not be
required and the cost OF carrying
freight and passengers will be reduced
one-half.
The new line will be nearly 100 miles
longer than the present route. but the
running time will be 1essened because
of the milder grades. The Southern
Pacific expects to have the KIamah
route ready within two years az the
outside limit.
The lumber road was built ten years
ago by the Weed Lumber Company.
Last year it was sold to the California
Northeastern. Its surveys. all OF which
are now the property Of the Southern

speaking of the case, said:
II am very sorry that we had to ask
Mrs. Schiller to resign from the club.
I think she should have accepted the
situation that naturally followed the di-
vorce proceedings and sent in her res
ignation, without being requested to do
so. We did not take any action during
the proceedings IN the cchrt We
squirmed in silence every time the
clubs name was mentioned in connec-

any action during the trial for fear that
1t might prejudice the case. When the
case was decided we felt that we must
take action.
WAIT FOR RESIGNATION.
I'VE waited for some time. hoping
Mrs. Schiller would retire from the

a very gentle, kind note, stating to
