He blames a woman { for his act, says a Kissimmee special |to the New York World.

The time came when Miss March- ant was near to death. Gillette sui- fered with her and determined to aid her. What he did is best told in his own words: *1 knew Sadie Marchant was dyinz and in frightful pain. That an effort to prolong her life would bring only a few minutes more of tortue for her was evident. [ had purchased two ounces of chloroform, and after telling her what I proposed to do I administered this. It was not en- ough, and she was still begging for relief. I rode to St. Cloud, four miles, and purchased six ounces more of chloroform. A portion of this I ad- ministered, and she passed out of the body."” It was evident from Gillette's words that his action has been simple as his language. He made no effort to conceal what he had don: 13 of the colony approved his action Then the sherift appeared and plac- ¢d him under arrest also taking into custody Elizabeth Sears, the eldress. How the sheriff had gained the in- formation on which he acted was not known then. Gillette made a simple confession and a coroner’s jury held him on the charge of wilful murder, No action was taken by this body with regardl to the guilt of the woman. corpus procecdings had failed to free liim, came up before the grand jury last November, and that cighteen of his case hody, composed of foremost citizens of against the indictment, attorney, not satisfied with this ac- i tion, appealed to the court to con- tinue to hold Gillette so that another grand jury might act in the case This was done and the man was re- leased under $7.500 bond. Not until after his release did Gil- lette know that Brackin, his ward, was the man who had given the in- formation which brought about his arrest. Bracken left the colony be- fore the return of its head. At the same time Mrs. Huckstead departed for Orlando. Brackin, in Kissimmee, is trying ed by the Florida branch. He w |then in Sehunectady, N.
