Herkimer, N. Y.-Printed below are
letters which, within the past few
weeks, have become known almost
from one end Of the country to the
other as Grace Browns letters"
They need no introduction, save per-
haps the statement that these are the
letters which were read at the trial
of Chester Gillette.
They formed the most remarkable
feature of that case. The whole struc-
ture of the prosecuting attorney was
built upon them. 1t passes under
standing why the murderer OF the
girl should have preserved series of
documents which, 1t Is safe to say,
spelled his doom from the moment
they were placed in the hands Of
jury Of IL men. 1t is inconceivable
that Gillette kept them for their
pathos, or the gentleness Of charac-
ter which they revealed, for he is not
the kind Of man to whom such
things appeal. 1t is utterly improb-
able that he ever recognized in them
simple literary beauty, although
such they do possess in an unusual
degree-the more unusual when 1t is
remembered that Grace Brown was
a country girl of plain education. who
had worked as factory hand.
Yet somehow Gillette kept them,
and the American public has come into
the possession Of one Of the most re-
markable series Of documents that
ever appeared in criminal case. AS
Q revelation Of character, as the writ
ten record Of tortured soul, they
have already taken a place unique in
the annals of real life tragedies.
Here are the letters:

Wednesday Night-My Dear Chester:
I am just ready for bed and am so i'll
I could not help writing to you.
Chester, came home because
thought / could trust you. don't
think now I will be here after next
Friday. This girl wrote me that you
seemed to be having an awfully good
time and she guessed that my coming
home had done you good, as you had
not seemed so cheerful in weeks. She
also said that you spent most of your
time with that detestable Grace Hill.
Now, Chester, she does not know
z dislike Miss Hill and SO did not
write that because she knew 1t would
make me feel badly, but just because
she didn't think. / should have
known, Chester, that you did not care
for me. But somehow have trusted
you more than anyone else. When
ever the other girls have said hateful
things to me of you could not be-
lieve them. You told me-even prom
ised me-you would have nothing to
do with her while l was gone.
Perhaps, Chester, you don't think
or you can't help making me grieve,
but wish things were different. You
may say you do, too, but you can't
possibly wish so more than I. l have
been very brave since I came home,
but tonight I am very discouraged.
Chester, II / could only die. I know
how you feel about this affair and
wish for your sake you need not be

Night-Dear Chester: I am much too
tired to write a decent letter or even
follow the line, but l have been un-
easy all day, and can't go to sleep
because l am sorry I sent you such a
hateful letter this morning. so I am
going to write and ask your forgive
ness, dear. / was cross and wrote
things I ought not to have written. I
am sorry. dear, and shall never feel
quite right about all this until you
write and say you forgive me. I was
Ill and did not realize what l was writ
ing, and then this morning mamma
gave my letters to papa before I was
down. I should not have had it posted
but 1t went long before l was awake.
am very tired tonight, dear. have
been helping mamma sew to-day. My
sister Is making me new white Peter
Pan suit, and do get SO tired having
1t fitted, and then there are other
ried and tired. l never liked to have
dresses fitted, and now 1t is ten times
worse. Oh! Chester, you will never
know how glad shall be when this
worry Is all over. l am making myself
Ill over it. Maybe there is no use to
worry, but l do and guess everyone
does. I am quite brave tonight, and
I always feel better after ! write you,
Chester, so hope you mind the hate
full things I say and hope you won't
mind my writing so much. Where do
you suppose we will be two weeks
from tonight? wish you would write
and tell me, dear, all about your COM
ing. / am awfully afraid / cant go
to Hamilton, Chester.
Papa can't take me and I am nerv-
GUS about going alone. You see l
would have to ride quite a distance
before I could take the train and then
there is a long wait, and, Chester, I
am getting awfully sensitive. II
can't go up there what shall do? Do
you think it would be wise to come
back there? Could you come to Der
uyter and meet me? I have relatives
there, but perhaps / could arrange 1t
somehow. I was pleased yesterday
morning. You know / have lot of
bed quilts-six, I guess-and I was
asking mamma where they were a1d

my little sister said: Just you and
someone else will not need so many"

You remember the white dress l wore
and you once asked me why didn't

most made new dress out of that
I am afraid the time will seem awfully

you would always post your letters in

I dislike waiting for them.
