He at with anode crossed and coolly responded to sattestions, even if it were nothing more nefinite, than "I can't say," whieh prov- ed a frequent espression. When Gillette stepped down from the box he was calm and unruffled. To -day he swore that many of the things he said and wrote and which the prosecu- tion took as links in its chain of evi- dence, were simply falsehoods concoct- ed for one reason or another stud that litany of the things he had done and that the prosecution took as indications of guilt, were merely- acts of cowardice. Gillette left the svitne,ss-stand at 3.20 o'clock and then the defense called ten ;witnesses in quick succession. One of them was a tennis player who shnply ;gave the weight of Gillette's tenis rac- quet as thirteeti ounces. He .proved witnees for the proseeution inateed of the defense, because he swore that it evould be poesible to break the strings fin the racquet by striking bard with it.

Most of tbein testified that hie character wee good., butthe dittriet attorney compellee all In *alit that they we.ro not then aware of Gillette's relations with Miss Brown. A few persons employed itt the skirt factory et Cortland, where Grace Brown and Gillette worked, testified that they heard the girl toy that she did not want "ito live and that she was going to leave tCortland, perhaps forever. To these :District Attorney- Watel said: "You did Mot flee Gillette trying to comfort her, did you?" and they all replied in the negative. There Was some surprise when the district Attorney altoevea Gillette to leave the witness -box without a more minute deseription of the, incidents im- inediatele preceding the girl's fatal plu»ge into the bace.

The next stage of the tariff will be a consideration of all the details in committee. This will be taken up on Government days. To- morrow will be the first. day of work in committee. What is unopposed will like- ly he passed first, and debatable clauses will afterwards be discussed. There are some parties pressing for changes al- ready.
