GILLETTE ELECTRoCUwED.
Mnn Admits Girls Murder Before
Going to Chair

Auburn. April 2.-Confessing
that no legal mistake was being made
In putting him to death, Chester Gill
lette expiated the murder of Grace
Brown in the electric chair in Au-
burn prison. 1t required only one
contact of an electric current OF L.
500 volts to extinguish the life OF
the man who killed the girl who had
trusted him.
Before entering the death house
Gillette confessed to the Rev. Henry
Mac1lravy and to the Rev. Cordello
Herrick, chaplain of the prison, that
he had murdered Grace Brown. He
told Of all the circumstances preced-
Ing and following the killing, and he
also authorized the clergymen to
make public his confession after his
death. The clergymen, however, de-
cided not to reveal what Gillette had
told them. and after his death they
gave out the following signed state
ment:
Because our relationship to Ches-
ter Gillette was privileged. we do not
deem 1t wise to make detailed state
ment. and simply wish to say that no
legal mistake was made In his cleo
trocution."
