free trade. When the time to vote
came, however, Coffeen found himself
too weak to resist the last of the
party whip and he voted for free trade
in hides. The democratic members of

Free Trade and Shoes.
Speaking of the tariff on hides, SEN
ator Warren stated that the duty had
made no difference in the cost % the
of the shoes he wore. With
the duty on or off the price remained
practically the same through the
change from one system to the other.
He had the u%ndisputable figures to
prove this assertion, having CLEANED
them from sources absolutely reliable.
Middleman Only Is Punched.
The senator showed also that the
exports of shoes had not only not fallen
off under the restored duty on hides,
but that it had greatly increased. The
manufacture had increased many fold
and the expectation in 1905 was five
times what it had been when free
trade ruled in hides. The Increased
consumption at home, he declared,
had more than met the decreased price
the middleman received after he had
paid the duty, but the consumer went
right on paying practically the same.

"D|CEY"
IS DEAD
MAN WHOSE CONFESSION CAUSED
ARREST OF CLAY SLAIN
BY FELLOW CONVICT
AT RAWLlNS.
surney Called His Mate Bad Names
and Latter Struck Him in Mouth
With Stone, Death Occurring Early
Saturday Morning-Believed That
Death viii Have Little Effect on
Second Trial of Accomplish.

William Burney, alias "Dicey,q one
of the negroes implicated in the muir
der of Merchant George Gerber at his
store on south First street on the
night of January 10, 1905, and whose
confession caused the capture of Henry
Clay, died at the prison at Rawlins
late Friday night from the effects of
injuries received a few days before.
Burney is said to have called another
negro prisoner a bad name and the
other fellow threw a stone at him,
striking 'Dicey" in the mouth. The
injury was so severe that the man did
not survive the shock and was buried
in the prison burying ground.
Burney was the first of the two
men to be taken following the murder
of Gerber, and so good a case did the
officers have against him that he con-
fessed and pleaded guilty, receiving a
sentence of ten years in the peniten-
tiary, being taken to that institution
shortly afterward.
Confession Caused CIay's Arrest.
Burney's confession led to the arrest
of Clay in less than a month after the
killing, and on the 26th of February
of last year he was brought to this
city and lodged in the county Jail,
where he has been since. He was tried
here and convicted of murder in the
first degree, being sentenced to be
hanged. Later the supreme court re-
versd the finding of the jury and gave
Clay a new trial, on technical grounds,
the trial being fixed for the 18th in
the district court here.
Plotted to Brain Tailor.
After Clay's case had been taken to
the supreme court on an appeal he
laid a plot to brain the jailor with the
leg of a table and escape, but the plot
was uncovered by the w~atchfulness
OF a young womanrer,ployed to assist
Mrs. Reals about the kitchen and Clay
has been closely watched since then.
Recently he was heard to remark
that he would "do up the whole bunch"
when he got out of prison, and Sheriff
Reals since then has allowed him less
privileges than before. He will have
a hard time getting out unlss dis
charged by order of the court.
Will Not Affect Trial.
The death of Burney will have little
effect on the second trial of Clay, as
the confession can be ~corroborated.
Clay himself having confessed his
share of the killing. The reversal was
purely on technical grounds, there be-
ing no doubt of Clay's guilt in the
minds of n of the officers of the
court.
