GILLETTE ON TRIAL
Herkimer Prisoner Said to
Have Confessed.
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,
