GILLETTE IS CONVICTED.
Feund Guilty of Murdering His Sweet
heart, Grace Brown.
Herkimer, N. Y. The jury in the
trial of Chester E. 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

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.

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. Cor
nell is deprived of one' of its land
marks; for the lodge was built ia 1881
by Jennie McQraw Fiske, at a cost
of $130,000. - The daughter of the
lumber king, John McGraw, who-was
one of Cornell's early great benefac
tors, never enjoyed her palace ,aad
entered it only after death.
Arouad.the house have clustered
the memory of the great fight for the
Flske millioas waged between Prof.
Willard Flske. the husband, and
Judge Board man, as the representa
tive of Cornell, to which Mrs. Flske
had left the bulk of her estate.
