AGED SHAKER ON
MURDER CHARGE
Sensational Evidence on Cloro-
lorIniag Sister Marchant

Kissimmee, Fla, Sept. 2l.-Sensa-
tional evidence indicating that Sister
Sadie Marchant was not near death
as alleged when chloroform was adj
ministered TO her by Brother Gillette,
head Of the Shaker colony at Ashton,
has resulted in the coroner's jury
holding Brother Gillette on the charge
OF wilful murder
Sister Elizabeth Sears, who by her
alleged confessions aided Brother Gill
lette In administering the chloroform,
was not mentioned in the verdict, but
her case, it Is stated, will be pre-
scented to the grand jury for action.
Brother Gillette was taken TO Tampa,
where he is held in jail without bond.
First reports Of the death of Sister
Sadie by enthanasia, indicated that
she was about seventy years old, and
in the last stages of consumption. II
IS alleged that the physicians who
examined the body after ii was ex-
humed found that Sister Sadie was
not in a dying condition, when the
chloroform was administered. She i
said to have been about thirty-four
years OF age, and except for an affec-
ton of the lungs with tuberculosis
was in good physical condition. Il is
declared she might well have lived
many years.
Gillette was not taken before the
coroners jury. as he gave his version
OF the womanis death at previous
hearing. At that session Sister Sears
also acknowledged her part in "as-
sisting" their sister out Of this life al
that time. but since then she Is said
10 have repIdiated her story. The
Shaker colony AZ Ashton has been re-
dueed 10 five since the death Of Sister
Marchant and the arrest Of Brother
Gillette. Under him as chief aide is
Sister Sears. He IS sixty years old and
she seTeniy-foar.
Sister Marchant died on August %,
and ever since that time has the
Shakers statement that she asked to
be chloroformed been doubted by the
authorities II Is stated that nothing
in the teachings Of the sect gives any
basis for aiding a person TO quit this
life.
