the story held a suspicion Of truth.
Il am not supporting Bolter against
Fallon," he said. "On the contrary. 1
am actively supporting Mr.. Fallon and
believe he will be elected"
Mr.. Stern voiced a universal conf
dence in Fallons rock-ribbed honesty
and courage of conviction. There is
probably not a reputable man in Hair
rison county who has not the fullest
confidence in his sincere integrity and
who does not believe that he will do
his utmost to bring Tom Dennfson to
Justice If he Is reelected. And the
resentment over Dennison's interfer-
ence with Harrison county politics Is
running thru the county like wildfre.
The popular confidence in Fallon's pur-
poseful honesty will re-eleot him. The
popular conviction is that to defeat
the man who has had the case In
charge who has the confidence Of the
men who have tracked Dennison all
these years until he is finally at bay
would be unworthy the character OF
the county. E. E. Thomas, attorney
for the civic federation of Omaha, and
for the Jewelers. Protective Associa-
ton, speaks highly Of Fallon's work on
the case and in the habeaus corpus
hearing. but he lays the greatest stress
on the mans absolute integrity, which
makes Harrison county courts tmpreg-
nable against Tom Dennison except
thru the ballot box.
ShercIiffe at Logan.
Sherman Morris, alias Frank Sher-
cliffe the diamond robber, is living
quietly at Logan waiting and pray
ing for an opportunity to tell the story
Of Dennison's share in the robbery Of
Pollock to the court. He Is working
steadily, keeping good company and
preserving good habits He has small
woodworking and repair shop in con-
nection with blacksmith shop and
SAYS he has as much work as he can
do. "Some days." said Morris, Il take
in good money. l made $3.50 between
nine o'clock and six Wednesday,.
don't drink, have plenty of friends and
plenty of work The hardest feature
of my business is that I have to pay
cash for stock and when a customer
wants me to stand him off for a wagon
tongue or some repair of one kind or
another I can't do it." He processes
attends church sociables, and
in general is behaving like a good cit
izen.
ITO use his own language Logan
people are treating me right" AS
of safety he sleeps in the
fail. At thirty-four his hair is white
as snow but his figure is straight and
his eye bright. Norris is consumed
with desire to testify against Den
nison. When he speaks of him his eye
snaps with the hope that the man
who rushed" him against Pollock
NAV taste some of the bitterness that
turned Morris hair to snow and made
him an old man and an outcast in the
prime of his manhood.
So long as Morris stays in Logan
under the protection of Fallon and
Thomas he is safe from temptation.
He realizes the fight he must make
and seems determined to live an hon
est life and earn an honest living.
Mcmillan and His Club.
Morris is a plucky man, but he
realizes that he is in danger. He is
watchful for Dennison's emmisaries.
He fears attack. His story of his meet
ing with II. G. Mcmillan at Burlington
shows his fears. when I stepped off
the train at Burlington, coming from
Ft. Madison" he related, "Mr. Thomas
left me for minute or two. / MOTTO
ed man cycling me as I stood near
a post. The fellow was partly behind
the post. Says he You're Frank Sher-
cliffe, amt your Yes, sir answered
Well you want to get out of Iowa as
quick as God will let you he said. ]
turned and looked square at him. He
was husky, strong fellow. I said
You are Mr.. Blythe. amt you? No.
