GILLETTE EXECUTED.
Had Made Confession of Crime,
Spiritual 4dUisers Say.

Auburn n Y March Colchester f. Gillette
paid the full penalty to-day for the brutal murder
Miss Grace Brown, his sweetheart, near Big
Moose Lake in the Adirondacks on July II. 1906.
He to his death in the electric chair at
Auburn prison without sign OF weakness. and
with the lack of emotion which had char
acterized him from the day he arrested
charged with the crime. Gillette appeared TO have
been fully reconciled to his fate. and in a state
ment given out by his spiritual advisers i'm
medtatey after the execution. it Is indicated that
he had made confession of his guilt This state
ment was signed by the Rev Henry McIlravy and
the Rev. Cordeo HerrIck who had attended Gil
lette since he had been in the death cell at the
prison. 1t follows:
Because relationship with Chester Gillette
was privileged. do not deem it wise to make Il
detailed statement. simply wish to say that no
legal mistake was made in his electrocution.
Gillette himself. so far as the public was con-
ctrned never admitted his crime. His last word,
in the form of a statement which he prepared with
psinstakng last night, was made public after
no had been put death this morning This state
ment follows:
In the shadow of the valley Of death. it is my
desire to do everything that would remove any
personal Saviour and unfains friend My one re
tunity to work for Him. II could only say some
me, me But 1; all l can say now is know in whom
keep that which L have committed Him
against that day.
If the young men of this country could only know
the JOY and pleasure of d Christian life | know
they would do all In their power become earnest
active Christians, and would strive to live as
Christ would have them live
There is not thing | have left undone which
will bar from facing my God knowing that nv
sins forgiven. for have been free and frank in
my talks with my spiritual adviser and God knows
where | stand.
My task is done the victory won
Any fear which the prison officials may have en-
tertained that Gillette's remarkable cornposure
would desert him at the last moment was quickly
dispelled when he stepped from his cell to .ha
corridor leading To the death chamber His stem
was firm and strong. and he walked rapidly toward
tho instrument of death. Not by the culver
OF an eyelash did lie betray the least sign Of
emotion. and at no stage did he require assistance
from the big keepers and his faithful spiritual
directors who accompanied him in his last walk
lie seated himself in the chair the straps and
electrodes were placed. and within two minutes
Gillette had been officially pronounced dead

President Parsons Of the Republican County
Committee and William Hapin, field general for ex-
Governor Odell, exchanged broadsides yesterday
preliminary to the battle at the primaries beginning
this afternoon at and lasting until o'clock.
President Parsons charged the Halpin men with
fraud at the last primary elections. and cited the
activities OF George r. Manchester in the 2eth Dis
trict. Mr. Halpin replied by charging the Repre-
sentative with supporting last fall men in the 1st
District who fas!fed the returns and whose work
was afterwsrd upset by decision of the Supreme
Court In the recriuinations nothing particularly
brought out.
The fight to-day will be hot in the 25th. 27th and
18th Assembly Districts, which practically consti-
tute the Congress district represented by Mr.. Par
sons. The Odell trying to prevent him

Representative Parsons. while refusing to make
any definite prediction as 20 the result or to-day
primaries said last night:
Following my custom in previous primary fights
j must refuse TO go into details as to what think
OF the situation In the individual districts. From
the reports given to me by district leaders L can
say that 1 think the situation tonight is most
favorable for the success of the organization at
the polls tomorrow.
The district leaders and the district captains
have found the enrolled Republicans keenly alive
to the real issue. The attempt OF my opponents 10
befog that issue with a false claim of loyalty TO
Governor Hughes's candidacy has fooled apparently
p very few of the voters The statement Of General
woodford repudiating the attempt to drag the
Hughes League Of the United States into the fight
has settled that.

will go to the polls tomorrow knowing that IN
