HERKIMER,' N. T., Nov. 30. The
trial of Chester Gillette for the mur
der of Ills sweetheart, Grace Brown,
practically came to a close today, so
far as the talcing of evidence is con
cerned. The defense, while reserving
the right to swear one witness tomor
row, rested this afternoon. The re
mainder of the afternoon was spent by
the District Attorney in recalling sev
eral witnesses in rebuttal.
Gillette went through the ordeal of
cross-examination without wavering in
the slightest degree in his .testimony
as to the actual death scene in Big
Moose Lake. He apparently had made
up his mind to take iiis time in answer
ing the District Attorney s questions.
He withstood the searching cross-examination
at the hands of the District
Attorney astonishingly well. When he
finally stepped down from the box he
was as calm and unruffled as 'ne was
a week ago when he sat indifferently
all through the court proceedings.
Admits Falsehood and Cowardice.
Gillette today swore that many of
the things he said and wrote, and
which, the oroseeution took as the
links in its chain of evidence, were
simply falsehoods concocted for one
reason or another and that many of
the things he had done were merely
acts of cowardice.
Gillette, when he resumed his seat on
the witness stand, looked intently at his
counsel, and District Attorney Ward cau
tioned him that he must face the jury
when answering questions. Mr. Ward
read a letter from Gillette to Grace Brown
under date of June 25. in which he said
he had been to Little York Lake in bath
ing with some boys.
Gillette replied in the affirmative when
District Attorney Ward asked him ,if he
swam ashore and left Grace Brown to
die in the lake.
Witness described the girl's act in leap
ing into the water to her death; said she
jumped from the stern of the boat, that
he shouted for help, that no one respond
ed, and that he tried to find out how deep
the water was there.
"o Effort to Save Girl.
"Did you try to reach her?"
"No."
"Yet you say you swam in the Pacific
Ocean?"
I did."
"And you did not swim to this girl s
aid?" .
"I did not."
"When she leaped into the water- from
the boat, what did you say you am:
"I reached out my hand toward her,
"And you, who had swam in the lakes
in Washington, and in the Pacific Ocean,
left Grace Brown there without swimming
to her aid?"
"I did "
A feature of this morning's proceedings
was the discovery of a picture of Hattie
Benedict on a roll of film in Gillette's
suit case. Gillette had sworn that the
film was unexposed. Miss Benedict is the
Cortland girl whom it was first claimed
Gillette wanted to marry. Miss Benedict
swore on the stand that she was not en
gaged to Gillette.
Gillette, during the examination, stated
that his version of the tragedy, as nar
rated to Under Sheriff Kloek, a few min
utes after his arrest, to the effect that
the affair was an accident and that he
had tipped the boat over accidentally
while they were picking pond lilies, was
a lie.
"Now. did your attorneys tell you to
tell a different story than the one you
told Under Sheriff Klock?" asked the Dis
trict Attorney.
"Thev did. Thev told me to tell the
truth."
AVent Among Her Relations,
"Didn't you want the girl to go to Ham
ilton with you?"
"I don't know; I believe 6he wanted to
go to Hamilton."
"Did you know anyone in Hamilton?"
"I did not."
"She had relatives there, had she not?"
"I believe she had."
"Then you wanted her to meet you In
Hamilton, where she was known, but
where you were not known, and start
from there to the Adirondacks instead of
from De Ruyter?"
"I cannot state."
"When did you first know she was to
become a mother?"
"I do not remember."
"Was it in April, when she left Cort
land for South Otselik, that you first
knew it?"
"I cannot state."
Gillette said his attitude toward the girl
had not changed when xher condition be
came known to him.
"Did you still love her?" asked the Dis
trict Attorney. ,
"I did," answered Gillette, with a sharp
rod of the head.
Gillette stated that when he departed
from Cortland with Grace Brown, intend
ing not to return, he left everything in
hie room undisturbed and said nothing to
his landlady about not coming back.
Did Not Care for Cost,
i
The District Attorney asked him if he
had planned to use the girl's own money
in making away with her, inasmuch as
his own purse was rather depleted.
Gillette answered, "No."
Asked by the District Attorney if, when
he rented the boat at Big Moose Lake and
tient out on the lake with Grace Brown
he understood his financial condition
would not perm't hiring a boat from noon
until night. Gillette answered he did, but
did not care about the cost.
Gillette was shown the films that he
took on his trip to Bear Mountain and
elsewhere on his journey through, the
woods.
"Gillette, you swore the other day for
your counsel that these films. I hold here
were never exposed, didn't you?"
"Yes."
"And then, after you had sworn to that,
you told your counsel not to examine you
any further on that point, didn't you?"
"I cannot state."
"Gillette, if you had struck Grace Brown
at Big Moose Lake and stunned her.
would you have told the officers?" asked
Mr. Ward.
"Yes."
"Gillette." asked the District Attorney,
"if you struck Grace Brown with that
tennis racquet, would you come here and
tell this jury you did?"
"I cannot say." "
"Did you hate this girl?" asked the
prosecutor, reading from a number of let
NEVER
PES
ters Grace Brown had sent the defendant
in which she complained of his apparent
neglect of her.
"No, I did not hate her," answered Gil
lette. Here Gillette for a second diverted his
glance from the jjry, and Mr. Ward
shouted:
"Look at the jury and not at your coun
sel." Attorneys Mills and Thomas interposed
objection to the District Attorney's man
ner toward the witness, and the court sus
tained them, holding that Mr. Ward had
no right to so direct the witness in his
gaze. "
The District Attorney, taking up ' the
matter of Gillette having received a let
ter from Grace Brown in which she re
ferred to his contemplated visit to De
Ruyter. previous to their departure for
the Adirondacks in July, the witness de
nied that he was ashamed or feared to
be seen with the girl there.
The cross-examination of Gillette was
resumed in the afternoon.
"Did it ever occur to you to go back
to Big Moose and find the body of Grace
Brown, the girl that you say you loved,
lying there in the water?" asked the Dis
trict Attorney.
"I cannot remember."
Enjoyed Himself After Murder. ,
"Did it worry you any when you were
talking to those other girls there to think
of the girl, your sweetheart, iip there; in
Big Moose Lake? Did it, when you were
making that engagement to go out Satur
day?" "I think it did."
"Did you have a good time on Black'
Bear Mountain on Friday?"
"In a way."
"Did you cook the meal?" '
"I think I helped."
"Did you enjoy it?"
"I think I did."
"Did you look back into the lake to see
if she had hold of the boat?"
"Yes." ,
"Did you see thic coat of hers?"
"No."
"But you looked back to be sure that
she was underneath?" '
Objection was taken.
"Gillette, you had the boat on the shore,
after that, didn't you?"
"No, sir."
"And you put this coat on the bottom,
didn't you. and forgot when you meant to
throw It off into the water?"
"No, sir."
This concluded the examination of Gil
lette. William Steinhurgh, of Cortland, an
employe of a skirt factory, testified to
hearing a conversation between thegirl
and Gillette, in which he said they talked
of going to the north woods. When she
went away Steinburgh said she said:
"Good-by, Stein; I'll probably never see
you again."
POLICE CHIEF IS INDICTED
JERE3IIAH DIXAX IS CHARGED
WITH CONSPIRACY.
Ba Hot-Stuff ers Are Pardoned From
Penitentiary to Give Evidence Be
fore San Francisco Grand Jury.
SAN FRANCISCO. Nov. 30. Abraham
Ruef and Chief of Police Jeremiah Dinan
were jointly indicted by the grand jury
this afternoon on the charge of con
spiracy in connection with the alleged
protection of a house of prostitution.
Chief of Police Dinan was also separately
indicted on the charge of perjury based
upon his testimony before the grand jury.
Bonds were fixed at $5000 in each case.
No attempt will be made to displace
Dinan pending the trial of the case.
Steff ins and Wyman, who were pardoned
by Governor Pardee at Heney's request
today, to permit them to testify against
Ruef and Schmitz, were sentenced to" five
years' Imprisonment for stuffing the bal
lot boxes at the local primaries held a
fchort time before the list election of
Mayor Schmitz. Through the result of
this primary election Abe Ruef secured
control of the county Republican con
vention. Charges were made that Stef
fins and Wyman, who were acting as
election officers, had stuffed the ballot
boxes in favor of certain delegates. They
were tried before Judge Lawler and con
victed and sentenced to the penitentiary.
When Judge' Lawler came up for re
election, November 6 last, Ruef and his ad
herents made a bitter and strong fight
against him, and it was the nomination
of two men as candidates for Superior
Judge on both the Republican and Demo
cratic tickets in order to make Lawler's
defeat certain, that brought the present
prosecutions for graft to a focus. Lawler
was elected Judge, and already some of
the cases of some of the men indicted
have been assigned to him for trial. Wy
man was a municipal employe and Steffir-s
was employed by F. A. Maestretti, then
president of the Board of Public Works.

Issue Raised in Oklahoma Conven
tion State Rights Idea Revived.
GUTHRIE, Okla., Nov. 30. The actual
formation of a constitution for Oklahoma
was inaugurated this afternoon when
propositions were introduced in the Con
stitutional Convention for two planks

tion and separate coaches for whites and
npgroes.
The railway regulation bill, introduced
by Delegate Clint Graham, is summarized
as follows: Railroad, express, sleeping
car and oil pipe line companies shall be
declared common carriers; to provide for
stock Inspection; to prevent consolidation
and prohibiting free passes.
The "Jim Crow" resolution was offered
by Judge Ledbetter of Ardmore, I. T.
Both propositions were referred o the
committee on railroads. The rules were
adopted "in toto" this afternoon.
A feature of this mornings session was
the address of Delegate Ledbetter. who
opposed the adoption of a resolution
recognizing the Federal Constitution as
paramount to that of the State of Okla
homa. Mr. Ledbetter reiterated his view
that state sovereignty should be strictly
observed.

STANDARD WANTS IT ALL
Lackawanna Railroad, Obedient to
Monopoly, Refuses to DeliTer OH
to Dealer "When He Buys
From Independent.
NEW YORK. Nov. 30. The Interstate
Commerce Commission began a hearing
today to require the Delaware, Lacka
wanna & Wesfern Railroad Company to
show cause why it should not make de
liveries of oil to wholesale dealers In
Brooklyn. The complainants against the
Delaware, Lackawanna & Western Rail
road are Preston & Davis, independent
dealers. Counsel for the complainants
told the Commission that Preston & Davis
had paid the railroad Company more than
145,000 a year, for oil freightage until the
service was suddenly discontinued.
Counsel for the railroad company de
clared that the discontinuance of delivery
of tank cars at the Wallabout terminal,
near where the Preston & Davis camp is
located, is due to the danger of fire.
Standard Oil Complained..
P. J. Flynn, general freight agent of
the Delaware. Lackawana & Western,
said that the first complaint made against
the delivery of- tank oil at the Wallabout
terminal was made by the Standard Oil
officials in 1903.
Ex-Senator David F Davis, one of the
members of the complaining firm, said
that Mehlen Family Oil Company started
In business about the time his company
did. and it developed that this company
belonged to the Standard Company. Soon,
he declared, the Standard increased its
sale price on his firm, though the Mehlen
Family Oil Company never raised its re
tail price. In 18SS the price of oil was
about double what it had been when his
company began business a few years
before.
"Take It or Leave It."
"The conditions became such that it
looked as if we would have to go out of
business," said the witness. "I went to
see the officials of the Standard Oil. I
told them that, the price was excessive
and that It was a matter of life and death
with us. They told me that the price set
would stand, and we could take it or leave
it."
The witness said that soon after . this
interview he arranged to obtain oil from
an independent company and to have it
delivered over the Delaware, Lackawanna
& Western at its Brooklyn terminal.
Finally this road declined to carry the
oil as before.
OTHER TRUSTS ENCOURAGED
Standard Says Europe Gives Differ
ent TreatmenfFrom America.
NEW YORK. Nov. 30. William H.
Libby, of the foreign department of the
Standard Oil Company, gave out a state
ment today concerning the great for
eign combinations against the Standard.
Mr. Ltibby points out' that the Loyal Dutch
Company, of The Hague, and the Shell
Trading Company, of London, have re
cently announced their amalgamation, one
of their principal objects being to control
the petroleum industry of the Dutch In
dies, and that in Germany a holding com
pany has recently been created for the
purpose of dominating the sale of Russian
and Roumanian petroleum. Mr. Libby
says:
"Thes amalgamations, eo far from re
ceiving the opposition of governments,
press of communities, are regarded abroad
as being in the natural pathway of le
gitimate economic and progressive com
merce and are especially commended when
the motive is emphasized or eliminating
the American product from the com
petitive markets. ,
"In the prosecution of its aggressive in
dustrial policy the Standard Oil Company
believes itself to be fairly entitled to the
encouragement that other governments
are giving to similar business interests.".

land." he went on to the property. As ha
proceeded, he heard a gun fired. The
armed men followed him to his claims
and told him he had to leave. They asked
him if he would go "at his pleasure" or
by force. He consented to go at "his pleas
ure." Afterward, he said, he secured two in
junctions from the District Court of the
state restraining the Fuel Company from
interfering with him. but the injunctions
were contemptuously disregarded. Finding
that he. could secure no capital, no rates
and no cars, Mr. Sweet said he finally dis-
Lposed of his claims to J. H. Judson for
J4000 and they soon atterward passed into
the hands of the coal company.
But this did not end Sweet's troubles.
He said that he secured employment on
the Rio Grande Western Railroad, but
was discharged through the influence of
the coal company officials, who also exert
ed pressure on a New York bonding com
pany to have his bond cancelled. He said
that, while he was working as agent and
operator in the office of the Pleasant
Valley Coal Company at Colton, Utah, hfi
bad instructions to copy from the com
mercial wires of the Western Union Tele
graph Company all messages affecting the
interests of the coal company. The atten
tion of the president of the Western Union
was called to this practice and the wires
were removed from the office.
State Senator George B. Whltmore told
of the armed occupation of George D.
Halllday's property by Robert Kirker and
other armed men. Mr. Whitmore said he
had coal land of his own, but did not
work It. because the railroad, company de
manded $3 a ton for hauling it to market.
"They Baid," Mr. Whltmore testified,
"that they could sell me the coal cheaper
in Salt Lake."
The last witness of the day was Edward
Allison, counsel for the Utah Fuel Com
pany, who gave testimony to prove that
the contested, oil land near Evanston,
Wyo., had been legally awarded' to the
Union Pacific after a hearing before a
special agent from Washington. The
hearing lasted five weeks, said the -wit-cess,
and both, sides were fully represented.
arVENDORFF A POLISH EXI1F.
Rescued From Siberia Through Lin
coln's Intercession With Czar.
Michael A. MyendorfT, the Special Agent
of the General Land Office., who gave
such sensational testimony regarding the
Union Pacific coal land scandal before
Interstate Commerce Commissioner Clark
and whom, according to the foregoing dis
patch, an attempt was made to poison,
because of his activity In unearthing the
alleged frauds. Is attached to the staff
of Special Agents, under Thomas B. Neu
hausen. Inspector of the Interior Depart
ment. Mr. MyendorfE is stationed at Port
land. He left last Sunday to appear be
fore the Commissioner at the inquiry
and will return to Portland tomorrow.
MyendorfE has a history that reads like
a romance. He is a native of Poland, and
when but a boy was arrested, with his
elder brother, charged by the Russian
government with complicity in a students'
uprising movement in Poland. After the
manner of the administration of summary
justice in the domain of the Cazr, Mr.
MyendorfT was banished to Siberia.
Although but a mere boy, he was
chained with other political outcasts and
marched the long, desolate road to Si
beria. It required six months to make the
trip, and long before the journey was
ended young MyendorfT was half-naked
and barefoot, and often left bloody foot
prints on the frozen soil.
This was in the early '60s. Fortunately,
he had a half-brother in the Union Army,
who heard of his case. This relative, pro
curing leave of absence, went to Wash
ington and laid the details of the case
before President Abraham Lincoln. The
half-brother pleaded for his assistance.
The great President, true to his Instincts
of humanity, took the case up withvthe
United States Minister at St. Petersburg,
who interceded for the young exile with
the Czar.
The negotiations . finally concluded in
the Czar offering to reieasa MyendorfT
with the understanding that he leave
Russia forever. The proposition was ac
cepted and MyendorfE came to America,
where he has been ever since.
He entered the Federal service and for
the past 25 years has been connected with
It In one branch or another. He formerly
ved at Helena, Mont., and through his
connection with the Government service
he became well acquainted with James G.
Blaine, Marcus A. Hanna and other Na
tional celebrities.
Myendorff Is a quiet man of small stat
ure, very reticent and is regarded as one
of the most efficient men in the service of
the Interior Department.
TRIED TO POISON MYENDORFF
Land Thieves Accused of Drugging
Liquor In Denver.
DENVER, Colo., Nov.' 30. The News to
day says:
Edward B. Clark. Interstate Commerce
Commissioner, is on his way to Denver,
where. net Monday, he will begin an
investigation into the charges made
against the Union Pacific Coal Company
that this corporation has stolen thou
sands of acres of coal lands to which it
holds no rightful title.
A. J. Smith, of the Smith-Bradbury Min
ing Company, who stands sponsor for
some of the charges against the corpora
tion, intimates that he will charge the
attempted murder of a Government agent
by poison during" the hearing.
, Smith says that It would appear that
an attempt was made to remove Michael
A. Myendorff, the Land Office detective,
who testified in Salt Lake City on Wed
nesday, and who mentioned two Wyom
ing Senators unfavorably during his tes
timony. According to Smith. Myendorff,
after completing his investigation in Den
ver, stopped in a Seventeenth-street sa
loon on his way to the union station.
Smith says somethinar was nnt into his
liquor; that the detective became uncon
scious, and that it, was necessary to take
him to a hospital.
It is also alleged that two attempts
were made to poison A. F. Abbott, gen
eral manager of the Peerless Copper Ex
traction Company, who, with Smith and
W. H. Canniff, has been largely instru
mental in bringing about an investigation.
JUST TO TICKLE
CANADIAN PROPOSED AS BRIT
( ISH AMBASSADOR.
Defeats in Diplomatic', Battles With
America Given as Reason
for Radical Step.
LONDON. Dec. L The Dally Mail this
morning takes up the agitation for the
appointment of a Canadian Ambassador
at Washington in succession to Sir Mor
timer Durand. In an editorial, the paper
says: .
"It would be a wise course, if the gov
ernment is anxious to consolidate the em
pire. Canada has suffered in the past
through the ignorance or shortcomings
of British diplomatists; witness the Ash
burton treaty of 1S43 (as to the boundary
line between Maine and Canada) ; the Ore
gon arrangement of 1S46 (a territorial dis
pute between Great Britain and the
United-y States, which was settled by
treaty); and the Alaska boundary arbitration.-,-Jfever
was there such an oppor
tunity for repairing these mistakes.
"It cannot be alleged that a Canadian
Ambassador would be likely to take up
an extravagant or dangerous position In
his treatment of questions between the
United States and Canada. The Canadian
frontier is 3000 miles long, and it could
be defended only with difficulty. Canada
is so much weaker than the United States
that she will never) provoke a quarrel.
Her enormous and rapid expansion justi
fies her claim to a larger share In the
conduct of the imperial policy, and the
time has arrived to take her into partner
ship with the mother country."
