Dec. half day's session of the Gillette trial to-day finished the prosecution's case In rebuttal, and It Is probable that all the evidence in the case is in. Both counsel reserved the right to call a witness upon Monday, but this was a precaution more than anything else taken against a. possible surprise from new witnesses being sprung by the other side, and It is probable that neither side will call any witnesses on Monday. To-day's evidence In rebuttal caught Chester Gillette In at least three more m'sstatements of facts.

Under Sheriff Klock. Turnkey Evans, and two witnesses from De Bnyter. Proprietor Coye, of the Taber House, and Hubert Whaley, his stable man cams to the stand and denied three quite Important statements that Gillette made In his direct and cross examination Contradicts Gillette. To-day's testimony. If it did not prove anything else, showed the astuteness of the district attorney TSije two De Huyter witnesses, whose testimony would not have made any particular Impression on the direct presentation of the district Attorney case, -were not called at all the case was rectly presented.

Instead, the district attorney allowed the prisorer to tell his own story and make nhich he would not have made unless thev had some Importance In the case Then he brought up two entirely disinterested witnesses to prove that this part at least of Gillette's story wa not The facts related were the efforts of Gillette to hire a horse on his arrUal at Ie Rlivter. where he spent the night waiting for Grace Brown, in order to drive to South Otsellc away without his presence in the town so near Grace a home known On direct examination Gillette had sworn that from the station at Te Ruytei he directly to the hotel, and, as it as raining, cnt to his room and stayed there, reading, until bedtime On cross- Bxamlnntlon, the district attorney elicited the. positive statement from Mm that he liad made no attempt to hire a horse from the livery stable or get other means of comejance In order to go to South Otselic to get Grace Brown Couldn't Shake Witness. The of Coye and his stab'e- nwn, iVlmlej, agreed In every particular. CVVP said thdt Gillette had come to the Taber House, in De Ruyter, at about 30 o'clock on the night of July 8, with and hnd asked for a rig to go to South Otselic On cross-examination the counsel tried to shak a Whalev on his Identification- of Gillette, tut without aiail Ar attempt was made bv the defence to rule the evidence out To the court.

District Attorney is to show that Gillette had con- oehed a plot to take this girl away without any one knowing had gone with Chester Gillette He registered as Charles George at the Taber House, and tried to hire a horse, to convey the Idea he was going South Otselic where, it was learned thai Grace Brown was dead in the AdtroTidacks, people would sa, there was a man named Charlos George at De Ruyter Sunday night He wanted a horse to go to South Otselic Hie court overruled the objection Court was a. trifle late in assembling, and bj the time the first witness, Gillette hJmwlf, went on the stand, the auditorium and gallon of the courtroom were well filled Working Clothes in Trunk. District Attorney "Ward pulled several garments out of Brown's trunk, and Gillette Identified them as having been worn to Grace Brown in the factory. Gillette, under instructions from the district attorney, ransacked his own suit case at the feet or the jurors but failed to find of his working clothes in the pack. The purport of this testimony was to that Grace Brown's farewell words to the farm, when she said she might never see the dear old place again," ere prompted by her decision to remain awaj from home forever with Gillette, at least, had promised to go to South Otselic and take her away.

Gillette's failure to find any of his working clothes In his grip will be placed before the jury In the prosecutor's summing up as an indication that, he intended to be back in Cortland in a week Deputy Sheriff Klock testified that Gillette told him he was able to find his way to Eagle Bay by keeping the lake In sight all the time Evan Evans, a turnkey at the Herkimer Mil swore that Gillette's watch, which the defense claimed stopped at 6 10 on the night of Grace Brown's death, wai going and keeping good time when It came Into his possession Judge Devendorf Is very insistent that the case get to the jury on Monday, and at the close of to-days session he said nt woulrt hold A night session Monday il necessarv Judge Oevendorf Instructed the lawjers to rile their application for hanges In the judge's charge in writing. The tourt apologized to the jury for holding tliem over another Sunda. When Mr Brown, the dead girl's father, who has been in court throughout, left to-da, he said "It la enough.

To Prevent Use by Blackmailers, Information About Business Men Throughout Country Will Be Destroyed. Special to The Washington Post. New York, Dec. records of 50,000 men--bits of Inside history In their private and public lives not even known to their intimate friends--will go up in smoke within the next few days And on top of this pvre will be dumped an additional 60,000 documents, containing- complete information relative to many firms who have either dono business, or are now engaged in business, throughout the length and breadth of the United States. Collected by a trained force of men, assisted by the vast resources of the Pinkertons, it vears of time and irany thousands of dollars to get together the Information the records contain.

And yet, in order to prevent these records falling into the hands of blackmailers, or othei unscrupulous persons, who might use the data contained for nefarious purposes. Congressman-elect J. Hampton Moore, receiver of the Citj Trust, Safe Deposit and Surety Company, to which concern they belong, has decided that as; they are not of to him in discharging the duties of his receivership, the best thing to do is to burn them all. "Dead men tell no tales," and on the same principle he argues that when the big bulk of records are reduced to ashes thev will be no longer a source of possible humiliation or menace to the msn or concerns whose private lives and transactions they record. Slgularlv enough, the records represent inaulrles Into the fitness of persons who made application for surety bonds-he very business which ultimately was responsible for wrecking the company.

The stemmeries destroyed were those of Julius and, John G. Orr, the latter controlled by the Imperial Tobacco Company, -of New York.

all over the State are as busy as beavers tryuis to guess the answers to these two questions; Can Hughes control the legislature? If not, what can he accomplish during the first year of bis term? It is admitted by all Republicans that Qov Hughes will face a peculiar situation. All the other-State officers will be Democrats. The Republicans have a large majority In both Souses of the legislature, but at the present time that majority Is far from being In un.ty and harmony. There are several distinct factions In the party, and 3ov. Hughes, In order to accomplish Important results, should nave a united majority behind him.

Reports are current that the malcontents, led or rather directed by ex-Gav. and State Chairman Odell, will do their best to make trouble for Gov Hughes and embarrass him as much as possible. The Democratic State officers, it is expected, will want legislation ot various kinds for their departments, and already there Is a crop of rumors about a possible combination of Democratic senators and! assemblymen with Republican members who wear the badge of Odell for the purpose of blocking the governor when they can. It is expected that Gov. Hughes will propose In his message to the legislature some sweeping reforms and betterments in the banking and Insurance departments of the State.

It is known that-he regards these two departments as particularly important and close to the people. According to general sossip, he will encounter bitter opposition from various sources, if he attempts to change the old order of things In those two branches of the State government.
