TALKS OF ADIRONDACK TRAGEDY. Accused Belng Put Through Trying Ordeal on Witness Stand In Big Moose Lake Murder Trial in Own Defense. HERKIMER, N. Y., Nov. 30. —Chester E. Gillette, the young man now on trial here ciarged with the murder of Grace Brown, his sweetheart, spent a lonely Thanksgiving day in bis cell In the county jail. He received no visitors, bis keepers having been given strict orders to permit no one to go to his cell. But even In Lis loneliness Gil lette welcomed the respite from the trying ordeal which began In earnest Wednesday when he went on the wit uess stand to tell his own story of that tragic day on Blg Moose lake. For pearly seven hours he withstood a vol- ley of questions, at first friendly, when his counsel bad him In band, and later autagouistic, when the district attorney faced Lim for the long cross examina. tion. Gillette was tired, worn and very pale when the adjournment was taken, and even the severest part of the questioning remaived. The holiday gave the youthful pris. oner an opportunity to regain his com- posure and to fortify himself for the real struggle, which will come when the cross examination is resumed There are different opinions here as to the effect of his testimony Wednes- day. Some are firm in the belief that by his story the prisoner lost his bat tle for freedom and that a verdict of murder, at least in the second degree, Is almost sure to follow. Others, how- ever, assert that Gillette's story ac- counted for almost every bit of testl- mony which the district attorney brought forth aud explained the pris: oner's every act. One thing Is certain, however, which is that whether or not the prisoner convinced the jury that he was not directly respousible for Grace Brown's death, he did convince every oue In the courtroom that he wis indirectly responsible for it In Lis cross examination the district attorney mnde Gillette acknowledge that he accomplished the girl's rin after repeated resistance on her part Gillette also said that talk of mar risge had never come up between them, and his own story established the fact that It was because she was desperate beeanse of her condition and the circumstances which Gillette had brought upon her that she jumped luto the lake to her death, Releutlessly waving a powerful chain of evidence around Glilette, District Attorney Ward today played the pros ecution’s trump card nt the resumption of the trial In the testimony of a Her kKimer Jail attache who Is sald to have overheard the prisoner tell his lawyers that he had struck the girl after her plunge Into the water, Standard Ol] Ship Freed by Rassia.
