A crow’d began to gather, and I thought there would be*trouble If I Htayea, and to avoid the trouble Is the reuson I left. “My statement before the jury* that this snooting was a pure accident was the whole truth, and there was not a soul produced anywhere to dispute It. I spoke to my* wife as pleasantly* as I could when I met her upon the porch, hut In her excitement and nervousness, she thought I Intended trouble, tfhe was greatly mistaken, because I Intend ed no harm whatever to her. but I was looking for others, not to kill them, but to make them leave a house where they* had no right.

I love my two little boys.* “I Intend to use my* every effort to convince the public, find especially the Jury* of noble men who tried me, that ! was worthy of this verdict of acquittal. I expect to stick to my wife and chil dren, and to see that they* shall never want as long as I have the means to provide for them. “I believe much that has been said about my* wife is the mere work of scandal mongers, and I do hope and trust that after this sad occurrence she will be subjected to no more false gos sip.

Y„ Nov. 30.—Though the prosecution has, link by link, woven a chain of evidence about Chester Gil lette, from which there seems to be no hope of escape, the district attorney will call witnesses from the jail who will add powerful weight to the testi mony that has accumulated against him.

Under cross examination Gillette said that he had just stumbled upon the rood loading through the woods from Funky bay to Eagle bay. At the time of his arrest Under Sheriff Klock asked the young man how he happened to find that trail so easily. Why,” answered Gillette, "I got n map of this county ten days agn ami studied it. That's bow I found the trail to Eagle bay." While on the stand the young man admitted 'purchasing a map before he set out on his Journey to Big Moose, but he dented that he hod studied It nr had found marked on It the trail leading so conveniently from where Grace Brown went to her death to Eagle bay, where he got n boat to Arrow Head.
