New Evidence Found in Gillette Case Checks Governor Hughes
Albany March 25. New evidence in the Chester Gillette case was presented to Governor Hughes. It contends Grace Brown suffered epileptic seizures and that a torn ribbon from Gillette's straw hat indicates an earlier removal of identification. Autopsy notes and expert affidavits are cited as supporting the theory of death by drowning rather than a blow. The governor planned to rule by tomorrow night after hearing the testimony from Cortland factory workers.
