Special to The Georgian.
Concord, Oa„ Nov. 12.—Miss Mary
Stanford, the pretty 15.year.old
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. E| Rian
ford, took her own life this morning
rather than go to school.
The young girl left home fo( school
under protest, declaring she did not
want to study. • Instead of going to the
school house, however, she retraced
he# steps into the house, secured her
father’s pistol and hurried unobserved
to the barn, where she deliberately
placed the weapon against her ear and
pulled-'the trigger.
A negro heard the muffled report of
the weapon, but thought nothing of the
mutter until two hours later, when the
oody was found by the gtrl’s father.
At school yesterday she complained
to the teacher that she was III and In
no physical condition to remain.
This morning she bitterly reb. fled
when told to go. but supposedly yield
ed ami left the house.
To llitnk that he would kill an innocent
little girl like tny Grace. RuleIde, bosh!
"Gillette wanted to marly that other
girl. If he did not have some other
reason for wanting to stay In t’ort
land and to rid himself of the dear lit
tle girl whose trouble he wo* responsi
ble for, why did he not simply run
away?
"Grace would not have followed him.
If he had shown any disposition to get
away from tier, why didn’t'he get out
of town when Grace waa home for
three weeks? I will never believe but
what he wanted to free himself to mar
ry his old sweetheart In Cortland."
Miss Benedict to Testify.
Mrs. Brown had reference to Hattie
Benedict, daughter of a prominent
Cortland lawyer, who will tie present
at the trial. By Mias Benedict, the dis
trict attorney hopes to prove that Gil
lette had a motive for making away
with Grace Brown.
But Miss Benedict tins Anally denied
that she was engaged to Gillette, and
Gillette, tn the only statement he made
to the newspapers, denied that there
was any attachmnt between him and
Miss Benedict further than mutual
friendship.
