* THIS IS NOT A LECTURE.
Capt, Jack Crawford’s Entertainment
in the Grand Army Course.
One reason assigned for the small au
diences that have attended the lectures
in the Grand Army course this season,
is that people do not like lectures. The
next entertainment in the course will
not be a lecture, so that that excuse
cannot be urged by the stay-at-homea
Next Friday evening Capt. Jack Craw
ford, the famous poet-scout, is to give
an entertainment in the course in Me
chanics hall, in which he will tell stories
of camp and field, will recite his own
quaint poems and will sing songs of the
plains and mountains. Two hours of
rare enjoyment in the atmosphere of
the wild west are promised.
GREAT FISHING.
A Local Quartet Catches 67 Pickerel
Weighing 54 Pounds.
Four of Worcester's well known fish
ermen, including the doctor, John and
Harry and one other, went fishing
through the ice in a pond near the city,
Thursday, and they brought back with
them 67 pickerel, weighing 54 pounds,
and the remembrance of a very fine
day’s sport. They got on to the ice
about 11 o’clock and had their lines set
in about an hour, and from that time
until 4 o’clock they had great sport.
One of the party (who, by the way, was
not the doctor) caught three weighing
more than a pound each out of the same
hole In less than a minute. This same 1
hole was the lucky hole of the pond.!
7 pickerel being taken out of it. The
party caught 32 fish in one hour during
the afternoon.
A HIGH-HANDED ROBBERY.
A Book Agent Robs a Woman of Her
Pocketbook on Lorey Street.
Mrs. Charles Charette, who lives at 2
Lorey street; had a decidedly unpleas
ant experience Thursday morning. It
not only coat her a severe scare, but
also about *4 In money, all she had in
the house at the time.
In the middle of the forenoon there
was a rap on her door, and when she
opened It, a well-dressed man stood be
fore her. He asserted that he was sell
ing a new edition of the Bible, and
would be pleased to show Mrs. Charette
a copy. She informed him that she
neither cared nor did she have the
money to purchase one of his books. He
persisted, however, and finally, much
against her will, gained admission to
the house.
After adroitly questioning the woman
to find that there was no one else in
the house at the time, he seized her and
compelled her to give to him all the
money she had in her possession. Mrs.
Charette remonstrated, but to no pur
pose, and finally she gave him her pock
etbook containing 14.
She at once reported the affair to the
neighbors, and also Informed her hus
band when he returned from work in
the evening. Friday morning, Mr.
Charette called at the police station
and informed Chief of Police Drennan
of the circumstances. Mrs. Charette
was able to furnish an excellent descrip
tion of her aosallant. and it is hoped
that in the course of a short time he
ma? be apprehended.
I
NOT ADMITTED.
Miss Gilletta’s Application Goes
to State Board.
A Protest from Fitchburg Causes a Sen
sation—Other Business Transacted
at Local Courts.
At the opening of the superior civil
court before Judge Bond, Friday morn
ing, at 9.30 o’clock, fourteen of the can
didates for admission to the bar who
had successfully passed the last exam
ination, were formally admitted to the
bar. District Attorney Herbert Par
ker, chairman of the examiners, ad
dressed' the court, stating that the men
had passed the examination and the
board recommended their admission to
practice. The applicants then took the
oath of attorney, being sworn in by
Clerk of the Courts Theodore S. John
son. Those sworn were as follows;
Chandler Bullock, Thomas C. Carri
gan, George C. Douglass, Stephen F.
Littleton, W. W. Macomber, John W.
Mawbey, Michael J. Lyden, Elmer C.
Potter, Thomas L. Nelson, Jr., all of
this city; George H. Olney, Leicester;
Frank H. Dresser, Southbridge; Mi
chael T. Flaherty, Northbridge; Henry
W. Jackson. West Boylston; David
Stoneham, Boston.
Two of the successful applicants, Er
nest Tupper of Fitchburg and Brian J.
Dunn of Worcester, were not present,
but a telegram was received 1 from Mr.
Dunn that he had been unavoidably de
layed at Boston and would not reach
Worcester until later. He appeared in
the afternoon, and was formally sworn
as attorney by Col. Johnson.
Throughout tire day there had been
an air of suppressed interest in all the
court circles, and the attendance of
lawyers at the court was larger than
usual, because of the announcement that
Miss Addie Frances Gillette of Fitch
burg was to be admitted to the bar in
the afternoon, but she was not allowed
to take the oath, and there was some
thing of a sensation among the legal
fraternity. Miss Gillette appeared with
Associate Judge Charles S. Hayden of
Fitchburg, in the afternoon, and the
goal of her ambition seemed about to be
realized. As court was in session, her
case was postponed until the closing of
the case then on trial. Before the case
was ended, at 3.30 o’clock, however, a
telephone message from Fitchburg
came to the board of examiners, pro
testing against the admission of Miss
Gillette. The announcement of the
message was a shock to the lady, but
as she has become experienced in fac
ing trials and annoyances since she
commenced her study of law, she brave
ly controlled herself and waited. The
message came from Mrs. Effie Hartwell,
widow of the late Judge H. C. Hartwell
of Fitchburg, who is the president of
the Woman's Club of that city, stating
that she wished to enter an objection to
the admission of Miss Gillette. Later,
however. Mrs. Hartwell telephoned that
she would like to sign a paper objecting
to Miss Gillette’s admission, but as
there was no such opportunity, she
would withdraw her protest.
Judge Charles S. Hayden of Fitch
burg, in whose office Miss Gillette has
been employed as stenographer, and
under whom she studied law. held con
ferences with the bar examiners and
the court officials. After the counter
message from Mns. Hartwell had been
received and there was no business be
fore the court. Miss Gillette went inside
the bar with two friends who had ac
companied her from Fitchburg, and
awaited the action of the court. Her
bert Parker chairman of the boarlji of
bar examiners, then held a consulta/tion
with Judge Bond. The recommenda
tion of the board, signed by each mem
ber, was given the court, the recom
mendation for admission being as fol
lows:
County of Worcester,
W. SS. Sitting, December, 1897.
Upon the petition of Addie F. Gillette
for admission as attorney, the board of
standing examiners, pursuant to the or
der of the court, have examined said
petitioner and make report that they
find her qualified for admission to prac
tice as prayed for, and accordingly the
said examiners recommend that she be
admitted l . (Signed)
Herbert Parker,
Rockwood Hoar,
Charles F. Baker.
After Mr. Parker gave the recom
mendation, he told Judge Bond of the
message which had been received from
Mrs. Hartwell of Fitchburg. After a
short conference. Judge Bond announced
his decision, which was that, as Miss
Gillette had been recommended Thurs
day, and as it was proposed to adminis
ter the oath to her Friday, he consid
ered the time too short, as there would
be insufficient opportunity for the fil
ing of objections to the candidate’s ad
mission. For that reason, he referred
the question of Miss Gillette’s admission
to the state board of bar examiners.
Miss Gillette discussed the case with
District Attorney Parker and Gen.
Hoar. While there was evident disap
pointment, she betrayed no emotion, but
smiled to her friends when all hope of
being admitted to practice this term
was dashed. She had been notified to
come to Worcester from Fitchburg, and
after waiting the full afternoon with the
expectation of being admitted, she was
obliged to return without the coveted
honor. The bar examiners did not
take kindly to the ‘‘telephone protest,"
and the lawyers at court were filled
with indignation at the protest coming
from Miss Gillette’s own sex when the
members of the bar favored her admis
sion and hao smoothed her course, es
pecially after she had demonstrated her
ability and courage in passing a bril
liant examination.
Each candidate for admission pre
sents a certificate of good moral
character, and that of Miss Gillette,
which was accepted by the bar ex
aminers, was signed by City Solicitor
Edward P. Pierce of Fitchburg, ex-
Mayor Samuel L. Graves of Fitchburg,
I and ex-Mayor and Associate Judge of
I the Municipal Court Charles S. Hay
den.
Miss Gillette was born in Plymouth,
Vt., 24 years ago, and is an orphan.
She is a graduate of a Vermont Nor
mal school, and taught with marked
success for some years In Windsor
county. Judge Hayden lost by death a
daughter of the age of Miss Gillette,
and Sie became a member of his (house
hold. She has been his stenographer
and has studied In his office. What ac
tion the state board will take Is not
known, or the time they will meet to
consider the matter. Edward P. Pierce
of Fitchburg, who signed Miss Gillette’s
certificate, is a member of the board.

WORCESTER DAILY SPY. SATURDAY JANUARY 1. 1898.
Miss Gillette Ihas passed the examina
tion and her qualifications are of the
highest. The new board goes into
office Jan. Ist. and it Is thought that
after a full opportunity has been given
for protests Miss Gillette will be formal
ly admitted without further delay.
No reason was assiged for the tele
phone objection from Fitchburg, but it
is understood to have some connection
with the divorce proceedings brought
against Judge Hayden some time ago.
Miss Gillette was stenographer in his
office and a member of his family.
SUPERIOR COURT.
A Verdict for $450 Against John C.
Speids for Loss of a Finger.
In the superior court before ' Judge
Bond, Friday, the first jury in the case
of Joseph LeClair vs. John C. Speirs,
reported a sealed verdict, which was
found to be for the plaintiff, damages
being assessed in the sum of $450. The |
claim of the plaintiff was that while in .
the employ of the defendant on Nebras-1
ka street, the “dog” to a trip hammer
at a drop forge became inoperative and
as a result the hammer fell, crushing
the index finger on the right hand. The
plaintiff alleged that the machine was
defective, and although there were tour
counts, it was on thir that ,the jury
found for the plaintiff. Sheehan & Cut
ting for the plaintiff; Charles C. Milton,
Herbert Parker for the defendant.
The case of William P. Dwyer of Clin
ton vs. the Leominster & Clinton Street
Railway Company, was resumed. The
case is an action of tort to recover for
injuries received while riding on one of
the defendant’s cars. It was on one of
the last runs, and when the, car was de
railed, the plaintiff was thrown across
the floor with such force against another
seat that his knee was seriously in
jured, and there has been but a partial
recovery. The case was completed and
will be given to the second jury Mon
day morning at 10 o’clock, to which
time court adjourned. John W. Corcor
an for the plaintiff; Charles J. Noyes for
the defendant.
