Gillette for the murder of his sweetheart, Grace Brown, at Big Moose lake, on July 11 last Tuesday night returned a verdict of guilty in the first degree. The jury, which had deliberated for five hours, sent word at 11 o'clock that a verdict had been reached. A moment later it filed into the court room and at 11:15 o'clock an officer who had been sent for Gillette, re turned with the prisoner. It was learned that the jury had some difficulty in reaching an agree ment and six ballots were taken be fore the 12 men agreed. Up to that time the jury had stood 11 for convic tion and one for acquittal. There are, and have been for some time, all kinds of rumors that Gilette has been overheard to make some kind of a confession that he killed Grace Brown. Some of these stories are that jail officials heard him con fess to his lawyers; others that ,he toldn visitor who called on him that he had struck the girl and that the visitor told the district attorney. No body connected with the case in any way will' confirm any of these stories. District Attorney Ward refused to confirm or deny the report that Gil lette was overheard to make a confes sion to his attorney that he struck Grace Brown at Big Moose lake. COUNT BONI IS SNUBBED. Many French Deputies Leave Cham ber When He Speaks. Paris. Count Bon! de Castel lane spoke in the chamber of depu ties Thursday during the debate oa the Algeciras treaty. Half the mem bers of the chamber of deputies ab ruptly left the house whea the count ascended the tribune. The snub was given deliberately in the presence of the diplomatic corps and the entire cabinet. Count Bon! stood, hands in trousers pockets, with a flippant smile on his face during the confusion occasioned by the withdrawal of more than 200 deputies. Whea quiet was restored Boni ad dressed the chamber, apparently not having been disconcerted by the re buke. He was jauntily attired, wear ing a lavender colored waistcoat a red aecktie, and he spoke easily, al most airily. He argued that France waa continuing the .policy of ex-Foreign Minister Delcasse, which aimed at the conquest of Morocco. Then he took his seat, in the midst of almost deathlike silence In the chamber. No one applauded him or replied to him. He was treated with contemptuous indifference. The chamber ratified the Algeciras treaty by unaaimous vote. Oil Magnates Are Subpoenaed. New York. John D.

W. W. Goetz, of Milwaukee. '09. H. A. Uihleln, of Milwaukee. '07. G. R. Sailor, of Pittsburg, Pa.. '07. C. J. Pope, of East Orange, N. J., 10. The heroism of the volunteer fire men who died attacking the fire was matched by the heroism of Schmuck, who reentered the burning building in a futile effort to save Nichols, his room-mate, and who died later from his Injuries, and by the courage of McCutcheon, who remained in the flames until fatally burned, to assist bis comrades to escape. Pope, the freshman, received his injuries while seeking to rescue other members of the fraternity. Among those earliest on the scene. and who contributed most of the work of rescue from the flames which had already converted the first floor of the doomed dormitory into an in ferno, were several Cornell football men. All did effective work. It has been declared that the work of Sam Halliday. the old fullback, and of Earle and Gibson, the halfbacks of the seasoa ended, united with that of the Chi Psi men who risked their lives that their brothers might live, will be remembered long In the an nals of Cornell. The cause of the fire will probably never be discovered. The building Is an unsightly wreck, with no particle of its inner furaiture remaining.
