GILLETTE'S FATE
TO Be ANNOUNCED
TONIGHT BY HUGHES
Governor Weighs Evil
denCe That Grace Brown
Had Epilepsy.

ALBANY, y. Y, March 2S.-The fate
Of Chester Z. Gillette hangs in the bal
ance tonight. The last plea for him
has been made. Everything now rests
with Governor Hughes. The latter Is
in doubt as 70 his final action. He win
not act hastily. Between S and >
o'clock Sunday night he will make pub
lie his determination whether he viii
grant a respite or Wheeler nine hours
later the convicted men will expiate
with his life the crime Of which twelve
Montgomery county farmers declared
him guilty.
In. the last moments OF this sordid
tragedy. there came revelations that are
astounding. An individual who said his
name was Dow Sanders, and that he
lived in New York State, went before
the governor and blacl1ened the name
of the girl whose dead oody was found
in the little lake underneath the up
turned canoe more than two years ago.
He declared Gillette was guilty OF no
crime that the young man was not
even responsible for the girls condition,
but thet he himself and two others
whose names he revealed to the COVER
nor in the secret receSses of the pri-
vate Office Of the executive chamber
were, and that they had co4spired to
throw the blame and responsibility or
Gillette.
He showed the governor letters which
he declared he had received from Grace
Brown. threatening to commit suicide,
and swore that he and the others had
paid her SO TO throw the responsibility
for her condition on Gillette.
Governor Doubts Story.
But he was not permitted to tell his
tale in public. Governor Hughes did not
believe it. In fact, ne intimated that
/ he believed the man lied. and declared
/ that he would protect the memory of
\ the brutally slain little country girl
| from the publicity Of any such recital
! The governor, however, is considering
rev evidence in the case. 1t is evidence
/ that points 70 Grace being en- epileptic.
/ That is the real crux Of the situation
/ and, If the chief executive interfsres, it
will be because he believes that there
/ is a chance that the girl did actually
| fall out of the canoe while rowing with
! Gillette. and drown in tEe water before
| his eyes
! Along this line there was important
/ testimony produced az tonight's hear
/ ing. Four witnesses from Cortland
where the girl formerly lived, swore
that she had been subject to fits, and
| had fallen and hurt herself on several
| occasions while under their influence.

A SLEEPER, BUT NO SLEEP
Observations of a Man Who Went to
Bed in a Railroad Station.

"You can take the midnight train.
you know" they told him. and as
they make up the berths early. you
can go to sleep while the train is IN
the yard and probably you'll be at
homo by the time you wake up
That seemed a fine plan. and the
young man was very willing to get
down to the train about 10 O'Clock.
Half an hour later he turned in
Just as he snuggled down into the
bed clothing a train rolled into the
station on the track next TO the one
on which the sleeper stood. The bell
on the engine changed monotonously.
filling every corner of the overarching
roof of the station with clamor. The
long. rolling din Of the bell suddenly
ceasing. gave way TO a kissing OF
steam from the locomotive as the en-
gineer performed goodness knows
what necessary operation with the
boiler.
The would-be sleeper turned over
rest1essly. The kissing steam was not
a bit less insistent than the changing
Of the bell and he was heartily glad
when 1t stopped.
over on track two or three re-
moves from his train another locomo-
tive appeared to be waking up Some
miserable local train was making
ready to leave. The puff. puff, puff Of
the early strides of the LOCOMOTIVES
was followed by a louder crashing
noise.
once more the man who was trying
to get to sleep turned over. He haul
ed up the blind and looked out. The
local was pulling out but he could see
a light that showed another train
coming in.
For the hour and half that the
train had 10 stay in the station he sat
up with his eyes glued to the window
and watch in hand, just counting how
many seconds Of noiseless time he
got. Finally when they did rumble
and roll out Of the station a theatrical
company on board the sleeper made
so much noise that he didn't have a
chance to get TO sleep until nearly
o'clock.
AS he is one Of the unfortunates
who never can get TO sleep on a sleep
er when il is moving you may imagine
how grateful he felt 10 the railroad for

January ID in the famous English
dramatic comedy, The Stronger Sex
which play was the great success OF
the London stage last year. and which
has already duplicated it's English rep
utation in this country 1t is said to be
an unusually interesting story of high
social life. and to express many condi-
tions of English society that are both
amusing and We'll drawn. Maude
t'ealy Is distinctively the youngest
dramatic star on the American stage,
and is one of the most remarkable
actresses of her day, not alone for the
reason that she is an unusually tai
ented young woman, but because, Tor
one of her years, she has already
earned a place so high among the great
names OF the thcater that it is a mat
ter of interest to watch her future
career, to note just what triumphs she
is yet to achieve. Her production OF
The Stronger Sex" is one of the most
complete possible. for the company
