Today an official signed statement
was given out by the Rev. McIllravey
land Prison Chaplain Herrick which
was as follows:
Because of our privileged rela-
tlons with Chester Gillette we deem
it unwise to make any detailed state
ment of what we learned from our
talks with him, bnt we simply wish
to say for the benefit of the public
mind, that no legal mistake was
made in the carrying out of the ends
of justice"
A Pathetic Story.
And so ends the pitiful tragedy of
pallid, covering youth and sim
pie country girl who loved unwisely
but with pathetic constancy--a story
in real life that might have come
from the imaginative pen of a Haw-
thorne.
The story of the murder of Grace
Brown, BILLY" Brown her friends
called her, by Chester Gillette on
lonely Big Moose lake under the
frowning peaks of the Adirondacks
lisa realistic classic.
The daughter OF a poor farmer,
billy" Brown tired of the quiet life
of country routine, and went to
Cortland, N. Y, where she obtained
a position in shirt factory. There
she met Gillette, the nephew of the
owner of the mill and n bookkeepe-
in the establishment Gillette was
the dashing young beau OF the town
and his attentions TO the simple coun-
try girl fiattered her and made her
the envled of all the girls of the
mill.
And then one day Grace Brown
disappeared. She had retnrned to
her home bearing in breast an awful
secret. At the murder trial the cor
respondence between this girl ami
her lover was made public. II por-
trayed in simple language the story
of broken hearted girl who stlll loved
and would refused to believe that the
soft promises OF her lover were the
words of a perfidious scoundrel He
had promised TO marry her. A hun
dred times in these letters she beg
ged him. for the love that had beeu
hers, for the name OF the unborn
and because Il was right, to come
and claim her as his bride. She did
not threaten. She did not complain.
She only asked for Justice.
And Gillette came to her after
many weeks OF trouble and mental
anguish upon her part and they went
away together, che believing that he
had come 10 make good his promise
and that he would right his wrong.
He took her TO a fashionable snr-
mer hotel on Bib Moose lake, delay
ing the marriage ceremony on vari-
Gus pretexts. on the third day
Chester Gillette took BILLY" Brown
canoeing on the lake. When they
reached a lonely spot-a cove shell
tered by a clump OF pine trees-rhs
faithless, villainous lover in sudden
impulse. seized a tennis racquet and
struck down the girl who had sacri-
feed everything for her love OF him.
The young fend threw the senaA-
less form into the water and thus
allowed HIS promised bride and ua-
born child to perish. The theory that
he wished to create In the minds OF
the police authorities was that the
boat was upset by accident. and this,
In fact, was his defense during the
trial. He was arrested a few days
later at a hotel where he had already
begun a filtration with a young gin
a guest OF the host. He denied his
gailt and for many weeks put up n
resistance TO the efforts OF
the prosecutor.

Tigers Think J~ayhayvks Would sacri-
Ace Iowa Game for Victory.

COLUMBIA, Mo-. Nov. 2O.-(special.)-
The work done by the varsity in yester-
days scrimmase was fast and vicious, and,
even lthe few professors, coaches and re-
porters that dotted the sidelines were
forced to yell occasional words OF praise
to some of the men. Ewing, who made
six touchdowns for the scrubs against the
freshmen eleven Tuesday night, replaced
Wilder again on the varsity last night at
fullbaGk, and did excellent work. Gilchrist.
the left half who was injured in the Drake
game, was out running signals yesterday,
but did not take part in the scrimmage.
Straight foot ball of the line-plunging
variety was used principally last night, as
Moniiaw has a heavy set OF backs and ex-
poets to met the Jayhawkers at some OF
their own game next Thursday. Onside
kicks we're used frequently, and both
Deatheridge and Saunders can now place
the ball almost at will.
When asked concerning the probable out
come of the kansas-Iowa game next Sat
urday, Assistant Coach Anderson, who saw
the Jayhawkers defeat Nebraska last Sat-
urday, said he thought the Jayhawkers
would win. He said, however, that Ken
nedy would sacrifice the Iowa game, IL
necessary. in order to win from the Tigers,
and predicted a close game as a result.
