most successful that ever took place
in tlie local prison, but one contact

firmly Into the death chamber. On

minister of the gospel. It was 6:12:

was turned on, being switched off at
6:15:06.

PATHKTIC STORY OV
YOlXti UlllL'S Hl'IX
Auburn, X. Y., March 30. The
crime tor which Chester K. Gillette
was sentenced to forfeit his life in
the electric chair at Auburn prison
today was the niurdrr of his sweet
heart, Grace Brown, near Rig Mouse,
In the Adiroudacks, on Puly U, 190G.
Gillette was convicted on circumstan
tial evidence after a sensutionai trial
in which the pathetic love letters of
"Billy" Brown, as the girl was fa
miliarly known among her associates,
to Gillette, played an important part.
The girl who perished in the waters
of Big Moose lake had trusted Gil-
lette to make amends for the wrong
ho had done her by making her his
wife, and her letters, found In
the young man's room arter nls ar
rest at Eagle Bay, havp been consid
ered by many as classic In their sim
plicity and their tender pleading for
the right that was her due.
Her last letter to her lover, written
a few days before her fatul trip to
Big Moose, was particularly pathetic.
'1 have been bidding good bye to
some places today," she wrote.
"There are so nlany nooks, dear, and
all of them so dear to me. 1 have
lived here nearly all my life.
"First I said good bye to the
soring house with its great masses
of green moss: then to the apple
t-e'es whene we had our nlavhouse;
then the beehive,' a cute little house
In the orchard; and of course nil the
neighbors that have, mended my
dresses from n little t"t tin to save
me the thrashings I really deserved."

been common knowledge here for sev

keeping closely to themselves, mid
