People v Gillette.

STATEMENT (cont).

      The night of the 10th these parties stopped at Alta Cliff cottage at Tupper Lake. Tupper Lake is not on a lake; the lake is some distance from the town. It is considerable of a town of several thousand people and if the defendant had any evil purpose in mind, such purpose could not be very well carried out at the village of Tupper Lake, although it was excellently suited either for employment if he wished it or for a quiet marriage if he had so desired.

      The proprietor could not keep them but this one night at the summer cottage and at 7:30 the next morning the defendant and the deceased left this place, returned to the New York Central R. R. station and boarded the 8:15 train south on the Mohawk & Malone R. R.

      The trunk of the deceased girl was checked by him to Old Forge, N. Y.

      See Vol. II, 35 to 42.

      The night before, the defendant met the proprietor of the hotel at Tupper Lake after the young woman had retired. He came to the proprietor and inquired whether there were any nice lakes or high mountains about Tupper Lake. The proprietor told him that there were none near the village; told him of Racket Lake. He asked if he knew of a hotel that was kind of a quiet place; said he would like to get into a nice quiet place. The proprietor told him he could recommend none and the defendant then said he thought he would go up to Racket Lake in the morning and asked if he could have an early breakfast. He said he had been in the mountains for a few weeks and his wife was very tired. He was trying to get home now and expected to spend about two more weeks.

      In this conversation with the hotel proprietor, the defendant told two falsehoods which plainly had for their object to mislead and deceive Mr. Newman, the hotel proprietor on two points. First, as to the place from which they came; Second, as to the point where he intended to go. That the defendant had some object in mind other than wanton falsehood when he stated that he and his wife had been in the mountains for a few weeks and now wanted a quiet place being tired, when as a matter of fact he had come from Utica with her that morning, is evident. It is evident that he already anticipated the events that were to follow on the 11th, and that there might be no trace left as to whence this party had come and whither they were going.

      Immediately after making the statement that he was to proceed to Racket Lake the next morning, he checks the decedent's trunk to Old Forge, N. Y. That he did not intend to spend two weeks at any quiet place for his wife to rest or go to Racket Lake with her in his then financial condition, is self-evident.

      See Vol. II, Fol. 42 to 52.

      The defendant and the deceased on taking the 8:15 A. M. train south from Tupper Lake, were rapidly approaching the final act of this tragedy. The description of the territory in which the events next occurred is found in the case, Vol. II, Fol. 100 to 133.

      The train which they had boarded passed through Big Moose station, Fulton Chain (Old Forge) and thus south into the city of Utica. The defendant and the deceased left the train at Big Moose station but between Tupper Lake and Big Moose the defendant wrote a postal card which he mailed on the train in the mail car attached, to the Gillette Skirt Co., Cortland, N.Y., saying "Please send $5.00 to Eagle Bay, N. Y. so that I can get it Friday. Chester."

      It will be remembered that the trail or forest highway above referred to leads direct from Big Moose Lake to Eagle Bay in the Fulton Chain over the intervening water shed and that by taking this wood road the defendant could by six or seven miles of travel through the woods at once transport himself from one summer community into another although by taking the usual traveled route of tourists, they were many miles apart.

      It is evident that by this postal the defendant intended the $5.00 should be forwarded him at Eagle Bay under his true name, which again makes it evident that the defendant had clearly determined to be at Fulton Chain of lakes on Friday and to be there as Chester Gillette, and not under any of the names he had used on this trip up to this time.

      See Vol. II, Fol. 133 to 139.

      At about the time the defendant was writing this card, it appears that the deceased was also writing a postal to her mother which at the trial both parties desired to have read in evidence, and which was mailed at Big Moose station; the defendant giving it to the bus man who mailed it, as to which the defendant testified fully on his own behalf. This card reads as follows: "Dear Mother, Am having a lovely time. Don't worry. Will write you more tonight about the trip. It was rather unexpected but am glad we are here. Love to all the girls and have them in school. Lovingly Billy."

      This card was posted at Big Moose station July 11th, 1906 and received at the girl's home in South Otselic July 12, 1906.

      It should be understood that both the people and the defendant consented that this card should be read in evidence.

      We believe it to be a fair argument that the defendant arranged both for the writing of this card and for mailing it at the Big Moose station for the purpose of disclosing to the girl's parents her whereabouts; otherwise we say this card would have been mailed on the mail car attached to the train as was the card written by the defendant Gillette to the Gillette Shirt Co., and we urge this more earnestly in view of the subsequent action of the defendant in making known the identity of his companion at the hotel at Big Moose Lake.

      On alighting from the train at Big Moose station, they were approached by a bus man who asked the defendant where they wanted to go. He said he wanted to go to Big Moose lake and on being asked to what hotel he answered any old hotel would do that had boats to rent and was

     near the lake. The defendant and the deceased were the only passengers from the station to the lake, a distance of two or three miles. She and the defendant had little converse together on the way. The young woman asked the driver what train they could take going south that night and on being told there were none until about eleven o'clock, she said in the presence of the defendant, "Oh dear, I will be tired out before that time."

      As she got out of the bus she said to the driver in the presence of the defendant, "Don't forget us, we want to take that train."

      See Vol. II, Fol. 139 to 176.

      On reaching the Hotel Glenmore, one of the guests who had seen the couple on the train going north the day previous, again observed them. He also observed that the defendant carried a dress suit case with the letters C. E. G. appearing upon it and that a tennis racket was attached to it.

      The defendant entered the hotel and registered under the name of Carl Graham, Albany, N. Y., and immediately below he wrote the name, Grace Brown, S. Otselic, N. Y.

      See Ex. 52, Vol. III, page 696.

      It appears from preliminary evidence that the family of the deceased were fully aware of the attentions paid to her by the defendant, of which he had knowledge. It must necessarily have appealed to him that if she disappeared without her whereabouts being known, inquiry would be directed toward him by her family.

      We believe the defendant formulated a plan of having the girl lose her life in this Adirondack lake in company with an unknown man whose body would not be discovered and that as a part of his plan he appreciated the fact that the place and manner of her death should be communicated to her parents. There can be no other explanation of his deliberately mailing the card at Big Moose to her mother definitely locating the deceased at that point and of his other act of placing her name and address upon the hotel register.

      See Vol. II, Fol. 177 to 181.

      Vol. II, Fol. 223 to 234.

      The defendant and the deceased reached the hotel at about 10:30 A. M. They had had breakfast at about seven o'clock at Tupper Lake. The defendant's funds were very low, of course. He had some talk with the proprietor as to taking a trip about the lake in a steam boat but he did not take the steam boat and within a short time after he reached the hotel he secured a row boat, commonly known as a St. Lawrence boat, at the dock by the lake shore.

      The deceased had left her hat on the rack at the hotel. The defendant had with him a light colored overcoat, a dress suit case, tennis racket and camera. The dress suit case was comfortably filled with clothing. The dress suit case, tennis racket and overcoat he put into the boat, leaving the girl's hat on the rack in the hotel hall, and the girl and he rowed out toward the upper end of the lake.

      See Vol. II, Fol. 223 to 264.

      Vol. II, Fol. 265 to 280.

      Big Moose is an ordinary Adirondack lake, surrounded by forest, and perhaps two miles in its greatest length and from one-half to a mile wide. About its shores are many summer camps and three or four summer hotels.

      One part known as South Bay, is a shallow extension of the lake becoming a swamp at its extremity through which one of the inlets of the lake enters. Because of its shallowness and the morass that surrounds it there are no camps or cottages along its shores.

      Entering this bay from the lake proper is a rather narrow channel and on either side of this channel were buildings the one known as the Moore Camp on the mainland south, and the other known as Covey's Hotel on the promontory extending out into the lake on the northerly.

      The dress suit case in the boat on the lake was naturally an object which attracted attention.

      At the hotel, just before starting, the defendant left the deceased on the veranda. He told the hotel proprietor that he would go up the lake, get dinner at one of the other places, be back for supper and go out on the 11:15 train.

      See Vol. II, Fol. 246 to 248.

      The defendant then came into the hotel and put the decedent's hat on the hat rack in the hall. He then had on a straw hat with a black band. Before he had placed his own hat and coat on the hat rack. Before he left he took his hat and coat off the hat rack and put decedent's hat in

     place of them.

      See Vol. II. Fol. 247 to 250.

      Edward O. Stanley, the owner of Moore camp spent the afternoon about the camp which overlooked the passageway from the lake into South Bay. About one o'clock that day he saw the boat with the dress suit case and the man and woman in it, passing from the lake into South Bay. He was about the rest of the afternoon observing the boats on the lake but did not see it again.

      This passage from the lake into South Bay at its narrowest point was about 1000 feet wide. Across from the Moore cottage was Covey's point called "Camp Craig." The witness Stanley plainly took note of the dress suit case in the boat at one o'clock in the afternoon.

      See Vol. II, Fol. 310 to 313.

      The boat was then going into South Bay. The defendant at this time evidently reconnoitered South Bay and spent the rest of the afternoon rowing about inside of South Bay or between South Bay and the south part of the lake.

      At about 5:15 P. M. Thomas Barrett, a guide, was in a boat in the entrance channel to South Bay and at that time the defendant and the deceased passed his boat going into South Bay the second time but on the north side. He observed the suit case.

      See Vol. II, Fol. 1054 to 1055.

      On this trip the defendant evidently passed in on the north side of South Bay and entered the small cove on the north side of the bay known as Punkey Bay.

      At about twenty minutes of six P. M. Mr. Foster and wife, who were guests at Camp Craig, observed the boat in this cove. They were on the opposite side of the cove from the boat. The defendant's boat was then drifting idly in the cove. As the hour of six o'clock approached, parties on the lake returned to their camps.

      See Vol. II, Fol. 313 to 349.

      Mr. Foster and wife left this cove about 5:45 P. M. and the defendant and the deceased were then in the cove drifting on the opposite shore from Foster.

      See Vol. II, Fol. 318.

      Foster came down the cove and rowed down the bay to Camp Craig. Barrett was on the water near Camp Craig and soon after Mr. Foster came from the cove and down to Camp Craig, Barrett observed the defendant and the deceased in the boat leaving the cove following Foster out, so to speak; "headed toward the south side of South Bay and the man was rowing slowly, one stroke at a time - there was no other boat at that time in this part of the Bay or any other person."

      See Vol. II, Fol. 1055 to 1058.

      It was now very close to six o'clock and Barrett turned his boat around and rowed around a point out of sight of South Bay to the dock at Camp Craig. As Barrett rowed into the dock at Camp Craig with two young boys, whom he had in the boat, Miss Marjorie Stanley, (now Mrs. Carey) was crossing in a boat from the Moore camp to Camp Craig. Mrs. Carey and the gentleman who was with her rowing her boat, came into the dock at Camp Craig having crossed the channel soon after Barrett landed.

      See Vol. II, Fol. 1076 to 1079.

      It must be remembered that the upper part of South Bay from which the body was afterwards taken was concealed from the view to be had either at the Camp Craig or Moore cottage or any camp or habitation on this lake.

      Mrs. Carey testifies that she left the Moore Camp about five minutes of six to row across the channel to Covey's. That as they were crossing the channel as she says "I heard a cry in the direction of South Bay. It was a penetrating cry; was short, seemed to come from a distance from the east shore of South Bay, something I heard distinctly; two syllables. I could tell whether the voice was that of a man or woman. It was the voice of a woman or a young boy; I should say the voice of a woman it was too high pitched to be anything but a woman's voice.

      See Vol. II, Fol. 349 to 360.

      So far as the people could discover, no human being except the witness Mr. Stanley, the guide Barrett and Mr. Foster saw this boat or its occupants on the lake that day, but it is evident that the defendant leaving the hotel about 11 o'clock with the dress suit case, tennis racket and overcoat and in fact all of his belongings in the boat remained for a good part of the time at least in seclusion about the swampy shores of South Bay until the supper hour called all other persons about the lake into the camps, leaving him and the deceased alone in the only lonely and secluded spot on the lake; that almost immediately after Barrett and Foster had left the bay, a single penetrating cry came, from the direction this boat had gone, to the ears of Mrs. Carey.

      The situation of defendant and the deceased between 5:50 and 6 P. M. of the afternoon of July 11th, seems too favorable for the defendant's future plans to have been the result of chance.

      On the south shore, 135 feet from where the body was recovered, was a place where years before lumbermen had drawn their logs into the lake for floating and there still remained a part of these old logs forming a sort of dock at which a boat might land.

      All the rest of the south shore of this bay was swamp or jungle, so rough or wet that one could scarcely pass from a boat to the shore.

      See Vol. III, Fol. 1459 to 1476.

      Fol. 1491 to 1492

      See Vol. III, Fol. 1495 to 1500.

      From this log pile a few rods through the forest took him to the forest road; running parallel to the south side of South Bay and Big Moose lake and lead thence to the foot of the lake, where by following it around the lake it returns to the Glenmore Hotel and Big Moose station and following away from the lake it leads straight over the mountains to another summer community, Eagle Bay on the Fulton Chain.

      Of this road the defendant was at that hour fully informed by the maps he carried.

      See Vol. III, Fol. 1460.

      The defendant and decedent were last seen fifteen minutes of six by the guide Barrett, the defendant rowing the boat directly toward the log pile.

      Before they reached it, Miss Stanley heard the single scream.

      It is established beyond doubt that within a very few minutes a struggle occurred in this boat and that the deceased received at least three violent injuries about the head, one on her lips and nose, one on the left cheek and eye and one above the left ear, that must necessarily have rendered her unconscious.

      See medical testimony before cited.

      The defendant says that the time was 6:10 P. M.

      See Vol. III, Fol. 141.

      The body suffered such violence as to tear and disarrange her clothing, her corset and garters being broken.

      See Vol. II, Fol. 1387 to 1393.

      See Vol. II, Fol. 1363.

      Her head was upon the bottom or sides of the boat and upon each side (undoubtedly by the rocking of the boat upon the water) and had either struck in failing or been removed therefrom with such violence as to leave considerable portions of her hair attached to screws in the seat braces on either side.

      See Vol. II, Fol. 1185 to 1191.

      See Vol. II, Fol. 1198 to 1203.

      See Vol. II, Fol. 1251 to 1256.

      See Vol. II, Fol. 1283 to 1288.

      See Exhibit 92, also

      Vol. II, Fol. 1289 to 1292.

      See Ex. 94, also

      Vol. II, Fol. 1312 to 1319.

      Obviously after this occurred the deceased's body sank in the shallow water of the bay, 135 feet from the log pile before mentioned, where it was observed by searchers on the day following, July 12, 1906, lying on the muddy bottom.

      And after this happening the defendant with his overcoat, tennis racket, umbrella, camera and its tripod and dress suit case, all unwet, reached the shore; to do this required the use of the boat.

      The distance from the mouth of the cove, known as Punkey Bay, where the boat containing the dress suit case was last seen by Barrett, to the point where the body was found being 1000 feet.

      Vol. II, Fol. 1486.

      The elapsed time from Barrett's observation to the hearing of the single cry by Miss Stanley being no more than sufficient to allow the boat to reach the point where the body was found and not being sufficiently long to allow the defendant to row to shore with his belongings and return to the point where the body was discovered.

      From these facts together with many others in the record, the people contend that as soon as secured from observation behind the point shutting off South Bay from camps and cottages, the defendant struck the decedent down in the boat, cast her body over and proceeded rapidly to the shore.

      These few moments in South Bay was the first occasion that deceased and defendant had been out of sight or hearing of others since they had started on this journey, as up to the supper hour, the lake was occupied by many persons.

      The defendant's belongings being safely placed on shore, as shown absolutely by their condition, the boat was turned bottom side up and pushed out towards where the body had been left.

      See Vol. II, Fol. 1161 to 1163.

      See Vol. II, Fol. 1486 to 1487.

      During the afternoon and night of July 11th and on July 12th until the boat was found, the lake had been still and calm.

      See Vol. II, Fol. 1326.

      The deceased took with her in the boat a light silk cape, this cape had been placed or spread over the keel of the overturned boat and in that condition remained until the boat was discovered on July 12th.

      This assertion is made advisedly because no action of wind or water could have spread the light garment upon the high keel in the position in which it was shown to be at the trial.

      See Vol. II, Fol. 1181 et seq.

      The people claim that this article was cast over the keel of the overturned boat by the defendant on his departure, as a further identification of the party who had lost her life at this point; an act of the same nature as depositing her hat on the hall rack, placing her correct name and address on the register at the Glenmore Hotel and mailing the card to her mother at the Big Moose post office.

      The girl's body in the water and all the defendant's luggage safe on shore, the straw hat worn by the defendant was left floating near the shore (Ex. 87) about 20 feet from it.

      See Vol. II, Fol. 1163 to 1164.

      There was evidence that the interior lining which usually furnishes information as to the merchant selling the article, had been just then removed.

      See Vol. II, Fol. 1194 to 1195.

      Vol. II, Fol.1559 to 1564.

      Vol. II, Fol.1570 to 1572.

      The proposition that any person had worn this hat with long threads dangling from the crown, such as is described by the witness Florence Morrison, is utterly impossible and clearly establishes that the defendant first removing the interior lining from the hat to prevent its place of purchase being discovered, cast it on the water for the purpose of inducing searchers to believe his body was in the lake.

      In this he was entirely successful for the search for his body continued all of the l2th and on July 13th and 14th when the true situation was made clear by accident.

      See Vol. II, Fol. 1376.

      The defendant next took a felt hat from the suit case, made the short distance from the shore to the road leading to Eagle Bay and within two hours from the time last seen by Barrett, was observed, carrying the camera, tennis racket and suit case and with a pair of canvass leggings on, well away from Big Moose lake and approaching Eagle Bay.

      This was the point he had planned to reach, alone, and as Chester Gillette when he wrote the postal Ex. 4 on the train that morning and when he made arrangements to visit the young ladies at Seventh Lake.

      See Vol. II, Fol. 393 to 403.

      Vol. II, Fol. 409 to 415.

      The yellow leggings were evidently carefully put on by the defendant on leaving the lake for his journey through the woods, an example of the detail with which his plan had been worked out.

      He had brought with him from Cortland attached to the suit case, a tennis racket, which he subsequently told the Sheriff he had purchased at Cortland for the sum of $6.00, just before starting on this journey.

      See Vol. II, Fol. 1653 to 1657.

      This racket had been observed attached to the suit case as appears throughout the journey, but when he reached Eagle Bay it was no longer with him; along the road between Big Moose Lake and Eagle Bay he stepped aside about 100 feet from the road into the wilderness and buried it in the earth.

      See Vol. II, Fol. 744 to 756.

      See Vol. II, Fol. 783 to 785.

      See Vol. II, Fol. 807 to 810.

      It seems that this act could only have been impelled by great fear or remorse and horror at having this instrument about him.

      As an incumbrance, its weight and shape were unimportant and the defendant thus concealing it, continued to carry with him the far heavier and clumsier camera tripods, although they were scarcely worth, as he says, $1.50, while the more valuable six ounce racket was buried with great care in the depths of the forest.

      This circumstance together with the fact that it was the most convenient weapon, in fact the only one to his hand in the boat, and the nature of the wound on the girl's head, point definitely to the conclusion that the bow of the racket, making the small point of contact with the exterior but producing deep injuries to the tissues and brain was the instrument used by him in disabling the deceased before putting her body in the water.

      It should be remembered in considering these facts that the defendant was an athlete, capable of lifting a boat to his shoulders and walking off with it.

      See Vol. II, Fol. 601 to 602.

      See Vol. II, Fol. 539 et seq.

      Experienced in handling boats of this kind on the water.

      See Vol. II, Fol. 601.

      Vol. I, Fol. 2113 to 2116.

      Vol. I, Fol. 2118.

      See Ex. 9B, Vol. I, Fol. 2351.

      See Ex. 9C, Vol. I, Fol. 2391.

      A reference to the above folios is sufficient to convince that a lake and a boat was the usual sport and plaything of the defendant and sought for by him wherever situated.

      In addition he was a strong swimmer and fearless of immersion in water.

      See Ex. 9B, Vol. I, Fol. 2351.

      See Ex. 9C, Vol. I, Fol. 2391.

      See Vol. III, Fol. 610 to 617.

      Having concealed the racket in the depths of the wood the defendant timed his arrival at Eagle Bay with the arrival of the train coming down from Racquette Lake.

      See Vol. II, Fol. 441 et seq.

      See Vol. III, Fol. 105.

      Eagle Bay consists merely of a hotel on the lake shore and a railroad station on the line some distance from the hotel.

      The defendant had undoubtedly planned to stop at this hotel when he directed the letter to be forwarded to him at that point, but determined that it was too near to the scene of the crime for safety.

      He therefore, after the train had entered the station, walked down to the hotel dock and awaited the arrival of a steamboat, which came in a few minutes.

      He stepped on to this boat with his suit case in hand, camera over his shoulders, as any tourist coming from the Racquette Lake station.

      There was little about him to identify the man who had left the Glenmore with the young lady at 10 o'clock that morning.

      His camera was then concealed in the dress suit case, he had a straw hat and some object strapped to the suit case.

      Vol II, Folios 249 and 266.

      When he came aboard the steamer, he had a gray shirt, with the collar turned up, black slouch hat, canvass leggings, (evidently carried with the intent of journeying afoot through the forest), and a camera over his shoulders.

      Vol. II, Folios 443-444.

      He inquired of the boatman if there was a good place to stop on the lakes above. His clothing was perfectly dry. He left the steamer at its first stop after leaving Eagle Bay, which chanced to be the Arrowhead Hotel on the opposite shore.

      Vol. II, Folios 446-450.

      Having placed the width of Fourth Lake between himself and Big Moose, the defendant rested, apparently secure.

      Leaving the boat, he went into the Arrowhead Hotel,--his clothing appeared entirely dry,--and there was nothing about him to indicate the scene he had left behind at Big Moose Lake, less than four hours previous.

      He approached the office desk and asked the rate for accommodations and what the rates were by day or week and, on being informed, stated to Mr. Boshart, the proprietor; "I expect I have got some friends up at Seventh Lake, and I am going up there in the morning, and if they are there I may stay with them; if not, I will come back and stay here and want to stay here tonight."

      Vol. II, Folios 476-477.

      He then for the first the since leaving Cortland, placed his true name on the register, "Chester Gillette, Cortland, N. Y." and he was now located as he had anticipated when he made the appointment to meet the young women at Seventh Lake; when he directed the laundry to be forwarded to Chester Gillette at Old Forge; and the remittance of $5.00 to be mailed to "Chester Gillette at Eagle Bay."

      The Arrowhead Hotel on Fourth Lake was in touch with each and all of those points; and on being taken to his room, he unpacked his suit case and called for food, which was furnished him,--and the boy who took the food to his room, found him eating an orange which he had evidently brought with him.

      Vol. II, Folios 498 to 505.

      The next day the defendant left the hotel at an early hour and did not re-appear until nightfall.

      Vol. II, Folios 481-482.

      As his appointment with the young ladies was for Friday or Saturday, it seems he did not care to anticipate the date; but instead, on Wednesday he engaged a canoe and started on a 1onely tour of inspection of the upper lakes, taking his dinner at a hotel on Seventh Lake where he again registered as "Chester Gillette, Cortland, N. Y." and made inquiries as to the location of the Misses Patrick and Wescott, while the part of the time not spent in rowing was employed in a journey to a high mountain in the vicinity.

      Vol. II, Folios 538-622.

      That evening on his return to the Arrowhead, he was introduced by the proprietor to various guests and spent the evening in apparent enjoyment of the surroundings.

      Vol. II, Folio 481.

      On the following morning he approached the proprietor and desired to have a pair of trousers pressed, saying that he had got them wet and wrinkled.

      Vol. II, Folios 486-487.

      This would be the natural result to a person fully clothed, engaged in landing on the shore of South Bay, and then over-turning in the water's edge the boat, spreading the silk cape over its bottom and wading out some distance to start the over-turned boat in the direction of the girl's body.

      When apprehended on Saturday following this Thursday, no other wet or soiled clothes, underwear, shirts or collars were contained in this suit case, and the condition of its interior entirely negatived the proposition that clothing soaked with water to any extent had at any recent date been contained therein,--there was not even a shirt as to which the laundered appearance had been destroyed by wetting and the fine interior lining of the suit case and delicate silk collar holders and other articles, which would necessarily have been stained and soiled by contact with water soaked clothing, were all intact.

      See Exhibits 42 (suit case) and contents,

      Exhibits 68 and 83.

      Vol. II, Folios 894 to 912 and Vol. II,

      Folio 507.

     The defendant, without doubt, on reaching the shore and disposing of the girl's cape and boat, changed his trousers, took the canvass leggings, provided by him for that purpose, and slouch hat from the suit case, and rolling up the trousers that had become wet in the process, so that the dry part covered the wet bottoms, put them in the case, until he had them pressed out as shown at the Arrowhead.

      The trousers, as Mr. Boshart says, "Were not wet, damp maybe, but not bad."

      Vol. II, Folio 487.
