Shaw,s Statement.

Washington, April 29.-The Shercliffe
ease has caused great deal of interest
among politicians iii Washington on ac-
count of Secretary Shaw's connection
with it while governor of Iowa. The
full text of Shaw's statement given out
Thursday is as follows:
Every attempt to make political
capital out of the incident in Iowa has
failed. Shercliffe was sentenced in
1893 to seventeen years in the peniten-
tiary. He had behaved well while In
the penitentiary and saved all his good
time. and at the time OF parole had
about two years to serve. Correspon-
dence for and against his parole was
very voluminous,, for the request had
been otter repeated. The letter from
Judge Hubbard which has been given
out was followed by another withdraw
ing the request. which, 1t would appear.
has not been given out.
Il granted the parole after being
convinced that Shercliffe whose real
name was Morris, proposed to reform.
Friends secured employment for him.
in Omaha and l released him under
agreement that he should accept this
employment, render monthly state
ments to me and forfeit good time II
he abused the confidence reposed. He
became dissatisfied with the environ
fments at Omaha saying that the
Temptations were too great and asked
permission to go to his brother In Mar
shall county, Iowa.
He then voluntarily went to the
sheriff of Marshall county and told
him that he was the notorious diamond
thief and told the sheriff where he
could be found. He wrote w. II. Pink
erton to the same effect. Pinkerton
came to Iowa and had an interview
with Shercliffe in my office and gave
him some money, If remember right
Ily, $100--to assist him. I have never
doubted Sherrqiffe's good intentions,
though I was never very confident he
would succeed in carrying them out.

besides the sheriff watching him, and

man, who had taken great interest
In Shercliffe was always on the lookout
and in correspondence with him, and
I think visited him. Sharcliffe rem
dered his monthly statements regular
ly and accurately for nearly year.
He subsequently became reckless and
finally left home, and Immediately is
sued a warrant for his return TO the
penitentiary. He is now serving the
balance of his unexpired term, 1nclud-
ing the good time which he had earned
prior to his parole and which he for
feited by my revocation.
