On March 30, 1908, Chester Gillette, 25, was executed at Auburn State Prison in New York for the murder of his pregnant lover, Grace Brown, on an Adirondack lake in 1906. His sensational trial inspired the Theodore Dreiser novel âAn American Tragedy,â the 1951 film âA Place in the Sunâ and an opera staged by the Metropolitan Opera. Now, as the 100th anniversary of Gilletteâs electrocution approaches, Hamilton College has published âThe Prison Diary and Letters of Chester Gillette,â taken from papers donated to the college last year by Gilletteâs grandniece, Marlynn McWade-Murray, The Associated Press reported. The editors, Jack Sherman and Craig Brandon, said Gilletteâs writings offer neither an explicit admission of guilt nor any clear assertion of innocence, but they do provide a window into his character and his metamorphosis in prison from a blithe youth into an introspective, compassionate, religious adult. In the penultimate entry in the diary, Gillette wrote: âIn all that I have done, I hope I have done as men would have me do. I know that I am right with God, and that is the all important thing.â.

We'd written the strip already, so we were halfway there. It was far, far, far outside his comfort level, but I asked Kiko to execute the strip visually. He excelled - but, then again, he is Kiko.
