Horns attorneys for new trial and
sentenced the prisoner to be hanged

chief counsel for Horn. Immediately
filed his exceptions and gave notice OF
an appeal to the Supreme Court.
Outside of the court officers. attor-
neys and newspaper men. there was
only a small crowd of spectators pres
ent when the sentence was imposed.
Horn was brought in at 2 o'clock and
took his old seat near the railing and
facing the court.
Judge Scott made brief address. in
which he said he had reached a con-
clusion after having carefully weighed
the arguments for and against the mo-
ton. He was unable to find any irreg-
ularities in the conduct of the jury.
There was no misconduct upon the part
of the prosecuting attorney in address,
ing the jury, he said. No objections
were made at the time of the alleged
misconduct and the court had not been
cautioned by counsel as to any miscon-
duct. Judge Scott spoke of the alleged
errors, both in allowing and denying
certain testimony; also in instructing
the jury. but he could find no error
prejudicial to the defendant. and he
was therefore compelled to deny the
motion.
III there has been a mistake here"
said Judge Scott. there remains the
Supreme Court. where the error can
be corrected"
Horn was ordered to stand up and he
was sentenced. The court waited sew
eral seconds. and then in low but
firm tone. said:

A. F. OF l.. WILL
FIGHT FOR PEACE

New Orleans. La. Nov. 15.-The Far
West again showed up strong on the
floor of the American Federation of La
Dor convention yesterday. A resolution
has been formulated that Ia intended as
a death blow to the American Labor
Union. the big western rival of the
American Federation. II is provided
that upon the passing of the resolution
that all unions holding charters in the
western concern must either draw out
OF IL and come to the Federation alone
or else their charters will be revoked
without ceremony. A campaign look
ing TO the pushing of this measure was
opened. and it is said the Colorado del
egation will largely support it.
A resolution was introduced propos-
ing to remove the national headquar-
ters from Washington to Denver.
Some of the most interesting features
of the day came from delegates over
the Rockies. A. Furnsith of San Fran
cisco introduced resolution asking
the Federation of Labor to go on record
as opposed to the building of the Mica
ragua canal. on the ground that 1t
would stir up strife among the small
Latin states and would precipitate
bloodshed. Another by Furnsith was
in opposition to the subsidy bill.
The great fight of the industrial or
ganizations was placed on the boards
to-day and tonight. The executive
council is hearing the arguments of
the Brotherhood OF Carpenters and
Joiners. who demand the revoking of
the charters of the Amalgamated
Woodworkers and of the Amalgamated
Society of Carpenters: also the fight of
the Garment Workers of America. who
u ~. -
ers of the West.
Resolved. That We declare our IN
faltering fealty to the trade labor
movement of our country. devoting our
best efforts TO the uplifting of the wage
earners of our country, giving them
hopes and encouragement and appeal
ing to them to unite with organized
workers, so that the fraternity OF man
of the world may be achieved at the
earliest possible date"
This is the message sent out by the
American Federation of Labor on the
twenty-first anniversary of its birth &c
the laboring men throughout the
world.
The committee on resolutions report
ed favorably on the motion declaring
against the ship subsidy bill. and after
a warm debate il was adopted.

WANTS A STATE
BOARD OF ASSESSORS

Denver, Colo. Nov. II Attor-
ney General c. C. Post will recon-
mend in his biennial report that the
constitution of the state CT Colorado be
amended to permit the establishment
of a State Board of Assessors, such as
was created by the revenue law of 1901.
declared unconstitutional by Judge
Dixon and Judge Riner. The attor-
ney generals report will be presented
to the governor about December LIST.
and the above will be the most i'm
portant recommendation.
Il will also advocate the establish
ment of permanent land board, said
General Post. Il believe that entirely
too much work is put on the state OH
cials by the necessity of attending 10
the business of these two boards OF
equalization and land. and | think ther
ought to be a provision of the statutes
or constitution making these Two
boards entirely separate from the elect
ed administration. That would take an
immense amount of work off the shoul-
ders of the governor. attorney gem
eral, superintendent of schools. audit
or and other officials. and would per-
nit them TO devote more time to the
details of their official work. at present
looked after by assistants.
The Board of Assessors, as things
stand. can be created only by constitu-
tional amendment. Such board was
created by the revenue law of last veal
I but was declared unconstitutional by
/ two judges. | fought their decisions
and still think this the most import
ant and useful provision of the law.
But, il it is unconstitutional. We ought
{ to amend the constitution so as to per-
nit the establishment of the board. II
will relieve the officials who have
enough TO do in the work of their re-
/ spective offices.
! LAS to the land board. its import
ance and the growing amount of busi-
ness it handles show more and more
the need of putting its work into the
hands of board especially appointed
for the purpose. l shall urge these two
changes most strongly in my report

MONEY SECURED TO BUILD
THE NEW MOFFAT LINE

The fact that the total issue of $2O.-
0OO. 900 worth of bonds of the new road
has been disposed of in such short
time is evidence of the confidence III
vestors have in Colorado enterprise,
While part of the money for the road
was subscribed in Colorado. most of it
came from the East. Mr.. Moffat an
nounced shortly after the sale of bonds
was opened last month that he had sold
IS, ,0O0, 900 worth of the bonds to Proyi-
dence and New England capitalists
who are interested with him in the
Denver Tramway Company. The net
value of the bonds which have been
sold in the East during the last three
weeks amounts to about S13.00O,000.
There has been no authoritative
statement to that effect. but 1t is un-
derstood that large block of the
bonds has been underwritten by G. NJ.
Boissevain. the Holland banker who
was in Denver last month. Mr.. Boisse-
vain and Mr.. Moffat have been asso-
ciated in the financing of railroads in
the past.
President Sylvester T. Smith of the
Colorado-Utah Construction Company,
which is to build the railroad. yester-
day said that the exact route of the
new road would not be made public for
several days. MIR. Smith announced
early last week that he would make the
route public Friday. but owing to some
minor changes yet to be made. it will
not be given out until some time this

BE HANGED JANUARY 9, 1903

Horn. there has been filed in this
court information charging you with
murder in the first degree. You have
been duly arraigned and tried, and a
verdict of guilty returned against you.
Have you anything to say why sentence
should not be pronounced upon you?"
81 don't think l have, SIR" was the
calm reply of Horn. after few sec
onds' hesitation.

where Sheriff Smalley was sitting.
Judge Scott motioned to remove the
prisoner and Horn started from the
room at brisk walk. followed closely
by the sheriff and spectators. Reach
ing the door of the sheriff's Office. Horn
found 1t locked, and made some remark
to the sheriff that he guessed he was
locked out.
Horns attorneys stated this evening
that the battle for his life would be
continued as long as there was any
thing that could be done in his behalf
AS the Supreme Court will probably
not consider the case for several
months, Horn will be granted stay or
execution, and even though the court
does not grant a new trial Horns exc
cution will not occur before next
spring.
