What does this capacitor do? Is it the "death cap"?

I don't understand the purpose of th c13 and c14 in the schematic here: http://circlotron.tripod.com/a30e.pdf

Seems to connect the chassis to the mains with capacitors, is that right if so, why? Thanks

Keeps noise from the power lines out of your system.
