NO APPEAL FOR GILLETTE
Slayer of Pretty Billy" Brown
Must Go to Electric Chair.
Family Without Funds and AttOr-
neys Doubt Use of Carrying
Case TO Higher Court.

Utica, Feb IS.-There is very slight
chance Of the attorneys for Chester
Gillette. murderer Of Grace Brown, at
Big Moose, in the Adirondacks. making
any further effort to save him from ex-
plating his crime in the electric chair.
now that the Court OF Appeals has de-
cided against him.
Gillette's relatives are without re-
sources 10 carry the case further. and.
even if funds were available. the pos
sibility Of upsctting the conviction is
considered very remote BY keen law
yers who have investigated the merits
Of the case.
Attorney Charles D. Thomas, Of
Herkimer. who was associated with ex-
Senator \. NJ Mills in the defense of
Gillette. said tonight that it was too
early to state whether or not any ad
ditional legal move would be made 10
save the prisoner from execution. At
torney Thomas said:
The only ground on which the case
can be carried to the United States
Supreme Court. is by the raising OF a
constitutional question. The only
constitutional question in this case is
that of the right of the governor of
the State TO call a special term of Su-
preme Court for a trial Of this kind, as
was done in the Gillette case"

Many times during the long period OF
Thaw's confinement in the Tombs rumor
declared that he was about to begin a
divorce action against his wife the runlor

that the elder Mrs. Thaw and other

This statement from one in the conf

al counsel. said that no action of any
kind had yet been taken by Evelyn Thaw.
nor had any legal action been begun
against her so far BY this the lawyer
meant merely that no legal papers Of any
kind had been served by his client or
upon her.
All Mr.. O'Reilly would say definitely
was this.
1t is possible that the publicity given
