Husband Admits Astounding Performance
When Intoxicated — “More Jealous Than
Othello, More Cruel Than Caliban,” Charge.
Continved From l;ooo '
dv, s now known as Parker Bryant
ond 10-year-old Elizabeth Gillett is
now prim little Miss Elizabeth Bry
ant.
Secret Learned at Polp Contest.
For the time when Gillett first
learned he had not only lost his ehil.
dren, but that they had lost his
name as well, one must go back to
a famous polo same played last sum
mer at Onwentaia. It was during the
mid-Western meet there, and the On
auuh Club was to play Kansas
Ly,
Gillett, an enthusiast of the game,
took his place In & box near the fleld.
When the Onwentsia Club dashed out
Gillett saw that it was led by Bryant,
u.:‘u..‘fomr wife's husband, Am‘:
pony, Wt
:70-#. side, rode Gillett's 7-year
son, whom he had lost when his
wife diverced him,
The little fellow was the mascot
of the Onwentsia Club that day. He
wore the blue and yellow uniform of
Captain Bryant's team and cast a
bright, childish radiance over _the
whole field. Everywhere fashionably
dressed women rose to wave their
bandkerchiefs at him,
“Who is the handsome little mas
oot ™ Giliett heard a woman near him
asking of a companion.
“That's young Parker Bryant,” the
companion replied promptly. “His
father is the captain of the Onwent
sla team, you know!'"
It was the first intimation Gillett
had that his son's name had been
changed. When he learned this and
that his daughter was known as
Elizabeth Bryant, he determined to
commence his ‘tl for his children.
“My name isWonorable,” he told
his friends. *“I want my children to
Bear it"
On the opening day of the trial,
the two little chiidren were in court
with their mother. Elizabeth sat in
childish dignity beside an overpow
ering nurse while Charles junior
fi:yed about the aisles in complete
orance that his destiny hung In
the balance of legal terms and evi-
Sence. -
Gillett was on the stand during all
of the first day and his cross-exam
ination was particularly severe. |

‘ever scratch your face?—A. Yes. I
wished to test my wife’s love for me.
I made some accusation against my
wife in the presence of the nurse, and
the nurse flew at me and dug her nails
into my cheeks. My wife made no|
move to prevent her. That was proofJ
enough for me that my wife's protes
tations of affection were not true.
Mr. Everett tried to bring out that
Mr. Gillett was intoxicated last Jan
uary on a train leaving the Poik
street depot. This was intended to
prove the contention of the defense
that Mr. Gillett's claim to total ao
stinence from drink for the last four
vears is not true. Mr. Gillett denkndl
emphatically he was drunk on tha |
train or that he even was at the Polk
street depot.
Mrs. Bryant’'s Dramatic Story.
Where Gillett's testimony had been
pitiful and in many places appealing,
that of Mrs. Bryant, his former wife,
was dramatic and thrilling. She ex
posed her innermost soul to the throng
of society folk in the courtroom. Her
story ran through the whole gcale of
the emotions, from a bride’s hopeful
happiness to a disillusioned Wife's de
spair.
She pictured Gillett as a husband
more jealous than Othello, more cruel
than Caliban. She told of how he had
dragged her about her home in the
small hours of the night, searching " r
her ifmagined lovers, and of how she
had finally come to sign a confession
of infidelity merely to preserve peace.
Gillett {magined her to be a woman
of a hundred loves, she testifled. He
accused her of unfaithfulness wlrh‘
men of her own set, with chauffeurs,
with waliters, with icemen. ‘
“Frequently he would awake in the
early morning,” she testifled, “and
would imagine he heard an automobile
departing from our home. ‘That's So
and So’s machine,’ he would cry. ‘You
have been with him while T was
asleep. Then he would leap from bed |
and rush downstairs to look for the
imaginary automobile.” |
Q. How often did he make these
accusations?—A. Every day. everv,
night—every hour of the day and
night. ¢
Q. Did he ever threaten your life?—
A. He threatened repeatedly to kil!
me.

had made a written confession of un

!m{thfulneu, simply to satisfy her
husvand, This document —one of ilhe
most famous pleces of evidence at the
trial-was produced in court and ad
mitted as evidence.
, It was written with green ink, on a
torn scrap of paper, and named three
men prominent in Chicago. The

that paper?—A. Between December

signed it after several months of
treatment that I could no longer en
dure.
Q. Before you signed this note had
Gillett tried to get a verbal conrpssiunl
from you?—A. Yes; frequently. I
began to think he was insane, I could
think of no other reason for his blind
jealousy. I told him at last that 1
would confess tolanything he wished.
I confessed to fifty men—everybody in
Lake Forest I knew or didn't know.
Q. Have you ever had any improper
relations with any of these men?--A.
Never.
Q. Do you remember his nailing up
a door to your room?—A. He used to
be afraid I should get up in the night|
and meet somebody. So he would
lock me in my bedroom and sleep with
the key under his pillow. He nailed
shut a second door to my room with
a nail six inches long. i
Q. Did he ever drag you through the
house looking for men?—A. Yes. '
Q. Did he ever tell you he was un- |
faithful to you?—A. He did. He told
me on the 14th day of November, 1909.
I remember the date, because up to
that time I had always believed he
had never known any other woman
but me,
Q. He admitted three liasons at that
time, 4id he not?—A. Yes. But he al
ways told me that if I ever told these
things he would kill me.
Separation Preceded Final Divorce.

Q. Did you take him back?—A. 1
took him back and went to Mr. Payne
(Gillett's attorney) and told him I
would stop divorce proceedings as
long as there was one chance In a
thousand of Mr. Gillett going straight
Before the final separation, Mrs
Bryant testified, she had given ler
husband a letter in which she posi
tively denied she had been unfaithful
to him in any way. On the envelope
was a notation directing that the let
ter should only be opened in case of
her death. The letter had evidently
been lost. Only the envelope was of
fered as evidence in court.

Petromortis Lurks
! In Homes, Is Report
Philadelphia Health Department
Head Warns Against Insignifi
cant Gas Fumes.
PHILADELPHIA, Jan. B.—Death
and injury from “petromortis” lurk
in the thousands of households in
Philadelphia, unseen, unsensed,
stealthily attacking human \'xta!ny,
and little by little breaking down the
constitutions of those affected.
This statement was made by Dr. S.
Lewls Ziegler, director of the depart
ment of public health and charities of
this city, while discussing the case of
a Chicago lawyer, who died from thej
gas fumes from his automobiles. |
Dr. Ziegler said the disease, caused
by inhaling the gases of vomhustion.‘
is by no means new or peculiar toau
tomobiles or automobile engines. |
“In many houses there are leaky
gas fixtures which are regarded mero-i
ly as a nuisance and a waste for a
small supply of gas, which must be
paid for,” said Dr. Ziegler. “If the|
danger from such fixtures were gen
erally known, as it ought to be, they
would not be permitted to continue
leaking long."” ‘
‘Red Tape'MakesHim
Wait 15 Years for $1
SELMA, ALA., Jan. 15.—After fifteen |
years of waiting, Roy 8. Peace, local
wholesale broker, has received a $1 bill
from the United States Treasury De
partment. Fifteen years ago Mr. Pearce
was working at Birmingham for a tele
graph company. He obtained his pay
and got it changed. In the change was
a $1 bill that had been ralsed to a ten,
Mr, Pegce had to make good the faulty
bill. E. P. McAdams, of Birmingham,
in the secret service, told Peace that
if the man who raised the bill from one
to ten was ever captured he should be
able to recover his ‘1 bill.
A few days ago when the broker was
in Birmingham he called on McAdams,
who remembered the incident. He wrnte‘
to the Treasury Department that the
passer of the raised bill had been con
victed at Gadsden some twelve or thir-‘
teen years ago and had served his time
in the United States penitentiary. Mr.
Peace, in a day or two, received a let
ter from the Treasury Department in
closing a $1 bill and a receipt to be
signed and returned. 1

last half of the seventeenth mntury."
He went to the West Indies In his
youth, and grew up in the wild and
lawless class that infested that sec
tion of the world. After he became a
full-fledged sea rover, he spread ter
ror and death among the West Indies
and along the South Atlantic coast
of America,
Found Retreat on Georgia lsle.
Among the islets that dot the coast
of Georgia, with their many water
ways and inlets, Teach, or Black
beard, as he was generally known,
found a safe retréat. Local tradition
says that Blackbeard's-Island was his
favorite hiding place when purluod'
‘by enemy vessels, and from there he
sallied forth to capture ships plying |
from the Spanish Main to the Euro
pean ports. From the Caribbean Sea
im Chesapeake Bay he sailed about
and pilfered every ship that crossed
;hls course, usually condemning the
crew and passengers so “walk the
plank.” \
As his successes multiplied Teach
bhecame bolder, and his atrocities so
aroused the English maritime author
ities that they determined to put an
end to his buccaneering. The, in
trepid corsair had built himself a
summer home, said to be still stand
ing, on the upper bank of the Pas
quotank, In North Carolina. Heve he
wase found, after a particularly de
structive raid along the Virginia
gpast, by two small sloops, command
ed by Lieutenant Maynard, of the
British navy. Bailing up the only
approach from the sound, the aveng
ers, by a clever ruse, induced Black
beard to board’ their ships,
In the fight that followed Teach
and several of his men were killed,
after a determined struggle. Fifteen
pirates were captured, and thirteen;
of these subsequently were hanged
in Virginia. This fight occurred No
vember 22, 1718, and it ended a reign
of terror that the buccaneer had dom
inated for years. Teach was only one
of the many corsairs who roamed the
Southern seas, but his criminal rec
ord was the blackest. He affected a
flowing black beard that gave him a
most ferocious appearance and led to
his nickname.
Treasure Hunters Persistent.
So persistent were reports that
Teach had buried treasure on Black
beard’'s Island that it was visited
often by treasure hunters before the
Government took it over and estab
lishad there the South Atlantic Quar
antine Station, abandoned some . time
ago. Even now the isinad Is occa
gionally visited by some person who
has imagined a clew to the buried
gold of the pirate, but none ever has
been found. One of the peculiarities
of the island is that it is sald to be
free of snakes, though ras#tlers and
other reptiles flourish on the neigh
boring islets.
The State, in making it a wild bird
and game preserve, will be compelled
to protect Blackbeard’s from all tres
passers, and so it is likely that no
treasure seekers ever again will delye
into its soil. But tradition in that
section will serve for years to keep
alive the storles about this myste
rious naunt es the notorious corsair.

Wonder If “One \\'-fl-ur;um'sfl ll;c Is an Analysis
of His Own Wife's Character.
CHICAGO, Jan. 16.—Did Mre. Har

her husband's works, that she
been the incentive for his character: -
sation of American home life® And
did this discovery bring about a sep-
Aration two years .fl‘m resulted

bill against the author? |
These are some of (he questions
‘which are being asked as a result of
the court action. In his two books,

nunclation of the average American
woman and her relations to married
life. When the latter work oame off

fended her husband's eariier work,
came to his rescue again for a time
| .n‘n.: declared his depictions true (o
Friends Have an idea. e 1
However, friends declars the Milly
Ridge of “One Woman's Life” was
born in the author's mind through an
analysis of his wife, and that the d's
closure of this fact to Mrs. Hervick
brought about the nnnunn.
In “One Woman's Life” Mr. Herrick
takes a lésyear-old ma through the
various pHases of her eXistence from
the time sne rst thinks x men until
she becomes a widow or whi*h
he settles her down in business and
leaves her there. .
Milly Ridge is this girl, and to her
ance at the time she is given her

“It's a very handsome one, Clar
ence,” and then. after examining it
critioally, she turns her head to per
u‘n'l:.uu man to Kiss her for the first

Enlarging on his theme at this
point, the author says:
“That, to be frank, was the part sh>
liked least of the whole affair, ‘dem
onstrations’ and she dealt out her fa
vors to her lover sparingly. However,
her flance was not demonstrative by

“Indesd, as she let her lover under

After the marriage he this to
say:
“Was she not giving » she

without doudbt? Had she not been true

of worldliness in order to obtain the

ennobled, having thus fulfilled the
ideals of her creed. The turned to
her husband a radiant face to be
kissed —a face in which shone pride,
confidence, happiness.”
And then, to cap the climax of his
frony. the author puts the following
words into the mouth of a character:
“For llke the wise woman she was,
she knew that in most cases it is the
woman who makes marriage sing like
a perpetoal song or become a sullen
silence.”

following from “Together”:
“Come, bring me money and I will
kiss you. Make me a name before
the world and I will noise it abroad.
Build me a house more splend!d than
other houses, set me above my sisters
and 1 will reflect honor on you among
men for the clothes I wea¥F and the ex
cellent shape of my figure.”
This the author gives as an idea for
the type of average American women.

California Leaders Are Puzzie
as to What Will Happen to
Governor Nationally,
BAN FRANCIRCO, Jan, 15
cal gossipers have selsed with & :
upon a report that has come out &
the East to the effect that C .
Roosevelt probably would seek the
Republican presidential nomination.
If Roosevelt i» a candidate sow
President on the Republican tickel
what s Hiram Johnson? That's
conundrum California politiclans
pounded. Loecally, the prepond V
of opinion among political oENOStI
cators was this .
If Rooseveit should become o sols
midable aspirant before the Rep
can national convention his candidacy ™
would eliminate Governor Johnson an
a possible cholee of Progressiv ;
Republicans—for Vice Prisident, ané
most likely result in his entrancé )
the race for United States Senator.
But, If the Republican party, oo
pelled by Roosevelt's candidacy
unable to 1". on him, should so
Justice Hughes into the contest as it
standard-bearer, Hiram Jo i
might stand a fair chance of belngh

Republican running mate for Hughes.
Governor Johnson hmuont‘? ;.

event (hnblhn Progressives put & na

He also has long been considered am
aspirant to succeed John D Works as
United States Senator from Call

That neither Roosevelt nor his Re

should consider running him mdfl- :
ram Johnson on the same ticket
is generally conceded
If Roosevelt proposes to make
peace with the Republican party, ¢an
Hiram Johnson afford to attempt to
do likewise? That's another gquestion
politicians like to ask.
Progressive party leaders in San
Francisco decline to discuss the ques
tion for publication
Republican leaders asked imperti
nent questions instead of proffering
answers. The gist of what they sald
was that Johnnln. having lest his
fight for nonpartisanship, must needs
remain a Progressive; that he can't
become a RNepublican candidate for
White House honors, and that if
Roosevelt should, by any chance, be
named by the Republican convention,
there would be no national Progres
sive ticket put up
Johnson's best political bet, his ad
mirers asserted, was the possibility of
his being named by the Republican
convention to run with Justice
Hughes
