"Many of the gentry and titled classes did honor him with their attention, I believe." "Why," asked Jocelyn, whose blue eyes were fastened very intently on the face of the police agent, "did they call him such a funny name, the 'Frisco Pet?" "Because he's a yankee bruiser, prize-fighter, or was, before the drink got him," explained Mr. Gillett.
On the coronation of the Japanese Emperor, in February, 1915, the six prisoners were released as a sign of "Imperial clemency." There was one sequel to the case. The Secretary of the Korean Y.M.C.A., Mr. Gillett, having satisfied himself of the innocence of Baron Yun and his associates, while the trial was pending, sent a letter to prominent people abroad, telling the facts.
"So now to conclude my little Ragged History * I as you know did ever impress on your mind to look to God, for so still I continue to do the same think less of me but more of your Creator, * So in this I wish you well and bid you farewell and subscribe myself your nearest friend and well wisher for Ever John'a Gillett New York, Dec. 2nd, 1776.

His next question was irrelevant. "Ever think much about the Lord Nelson, Gillett?" "She isn't a boat one's apt to forget, after what happened, your Lordship," was the answer.

"Recall the day on that memorable voyage you were telling us about them who they were, and so on?" "Very well," replied Mr. Gillett, good-humoredly.

But this Mr. Gillett, agent of the police, discreetly declined to do; Captain Macpherson was a man not to be beckoned to by any one; much less by him.
Turpin in the pen, but we've one or two others almost as celebrated in their way. There's Billy Burke, as desperate a cracksman as the country can produce, with," complacently, "a record second to none in his class. He" and Mr. Gillett, with considerable zest entered into the details of Mr. Burke's eventful and rapacious career.
Governor Gillett called the California legislature in special session in August to submit to the people constitutional changes enabling San Francisco to issue exposition bonds in the amount of $5,000,000, and the State to raise another $5,000,000 by special tax. In November the people of State and city voted the two amounts.
He was with me on many of the old trails and in many a tight place, and like myself he always came out right side up with care and none the worse for wear. E. W. Gillett, at present general passenger agent of the Salt Lake road, and one of the best known and most popular railroad men of the west, is another friend of the old days it is my pleasure to meet often now.
"To go back to Strathorn House a very beautiful place to go back to," his tones for the moment lapsed to that high pitch they sometimes assumed, "Mr Gillett had there received from me certain instructions.
