THE MOTHER HAS MADE
THE LAST APPEAL FOR son

Denver Republican: Every possi-
BILE legal means having been exhaust
ed in the effort to save Chester Gil
lette from going to the electric chair
for the murder of Grace Brown on
Big Moose lake in New York state,
a year and half ago. his mother,
father and brother will now unite
in an appeal to Governor Hughes for
celemency. They leave Denver this
morning and will go straight to Au-
burn. where young Gillette is in pris-
on, and will then proceed to Albany
to make { Anal plea to the governor
for a moderation of the sentence.
A letter from her sons attorney,
Charles d. Thomas, reached Mrs.
Frank Gillette yesterday, telling her
that the last hope of appealing the
case any higher was gone. and that
nothing but the clemency of the gov
ernor OF the state could save her son
from death by electrocution. This
news. coming on top of letter from
her son the day before. in which he
appeared to be cheerful and conf
dent of ultimate reversal of the death
sentence, leads the mother to believe
that her son has not been told how
desperate is his situation.
Il believe they are leaving it to
me To break the news TO nm, she
said last night, in her rooms at 1416
Delaware street, ''and so | am go
ing straight to Auburn to do 1t. Poor
boy, l suppose 1t will be better for
him to hear it from me than from
anybody else in the world: but it
will be pretty hard on me. l mustn't

We are so firmly convinced of the
boys innocence that cannot believe
that our mission will fail.
81 have heard that Governor
Hughes examines all legal points
pretty closely" she continued, land
the fact that two courts have con-
demned Chester may weigh against
him in the governors mind; but l
know the boy is innocent and I know
l can make the governor believe 1t.
Why. look at the cheerful, confident
way that he has borne up during all
this trouble. Nothing but innocence
could have given him strength"
Mr.. and Mrs. Gillette returned to
Denver week ago Saturday, after
some time spent in Monarch, Colo,
on the Moffat road. They have been
living quietly, saving money to make
a last effort for their sons life in
case the worst came to the worst,
and now they believe the time for
action has come

AN ERROR MADE IN
FILING NAME OF CHURCH

This afternoon Mrs. Susan Eta
Carpenter filed with the county clerk
a copy of an old affidavit fled by her
on August 13. 1896, which affidavit
told of the organization of the
Church of Christ Science in this city.
The old affidavit is accompanied
by statement setting forth that an
error was made in the affidavit, it
being stated that the name of the
church was 1.-THE First Church of
Christ Scientists of Grand Junction. "
The statement declares that, accord
ing to the tenets and laws of the
mother church, the word ''the" can
not be prefixed to any local church of
the denomination. Therefore, the
statement sets forth that the true
name of the church IL the First
Church of Christ Scientists of Grand
Junction.

The bank of Palisade, which is
generally known as the ]. w. Hugus
Bank, as it is owned by that con-
cern. was an incorporation. Under
the new banking laws that went into
effect in this state January 1, it is
now a copartnershi concern. and its
responsibility is the collective and
individual wealth of all the men,
bers of the company-about twenty
in number,-the responsibility being
considerably over a million dollars.
In state and national banking insti-

sade is now working under, its re-
