SHERCLIFFE FOUND GUILTY
Convicted at Lendville, Colo, for
Murder Committed six
Years Ago.

LEADVILLE, Colo, Sept. 2.-CSpecial
Telegram.)-The jury In the case of Sher-
man Morris, alias Shercliffe, on trial for
the murder of John Walsh in this city In
1O2, today returned a verdict of guilty
within two hours after the case was given
to it.
Shercliffe expressed disappointment at
the failure of Elmer f. Thomas and the
Omaha Civic federation to come to his
aid in this case. The only persons from
Omaha at the trial were Tom Dennison
and his attorney, w. j. Council
Shercliffe based his expectations of aid
from these Omaha sources on the fact
that he was the chief witness against
Dennlson in a trial at Red Oak, Ia. Sher-
cliffe claims here to nave been given his
liberty from the Iowa penitentiary as a
result of the influence of these Omaha
parties and he says he had reason to ex-
pect they would assist him.
After the Dennison trial at Red Oak,
Shercliffe was not allowed to leave Iowa,
nor would the Iawo authorities let those
of another state have him, though Mime
sofa, California, Colorado and Oklahoma
were clamoring for him. He finally did
leave Iowa, turned up in Michigan, where
he was arrested and fell to the lot Of Colo
RADIO. He was brought here for the trial
of Mr.. Walsh whom he murdered in this
city in 1902.
Recently Shercliffe made a desperate at
tempt to dynamite the Jail and secure his
freedom, but was discovered in the at
tempt by the sheriff.

Senator McCumber of North DakOta
Talks of Outlook.
WASHINGTON, Sept, Ex-senator Nc
Cumber of North Dakota, who has just re-
turned from visits to President Roosevelt
and Secretary Taft. today expressed the
opinion that the extra session OF con-
gress which is to be called after the 4th
of next March for the revision of the
tariff will be of long duration and that it
will witness many stubborn contests over
the various schedules which 1t Is proposed
to change.
Mr.. McCumber said that the west will
demand that several articles which are
now en- the protected list shall be made
free Of duty, and he included lumber and
coal as among those in behalf Of which a
specially strong fight would be made. In
a general way, he said, this will be an
effort to have made free Of duty all ard
cles the use of which tends to exhaust
them, such as lumber, coal and iron. Ac-
cording to the senator the people of the
northwest, where timber is scarce. are
generally Of the opinion that II the Amer
lean markets could be opened to the Cana
dian lumber supply there would be a ma
terial reduction in price. While not shar-
ing this opinion as TO the reduction, he
thought that many evils could be avoided
by transferring the lumber schedule from
the protected to the free list and will
heartily support such a policy. He also
expressed the opinion that there will be no
very bitter controversy over this change,
as he believes that the lumber interests
are almost prepared to eoncede 1t.

First in line came a squad of mounted
police followed by the marshal OF the
parade, w. v. McMackin and his staff.
Next was a brass band followed by Com
mander-in-Chi Burton under escort of the
Toledo post and past commander-in-chief
and invited guests Inv carriages. Then came
the posts Of the various states including
Illinois, California, Nevada, Nebraska,
Iowa, Colorado and Wyoming, Kansas, Mis-
souri,, Washington, Alaska and South Da-
kota, New Mexico, Utah, Texas, Montana,
Idaho, Arizona and Oklahoma. They were
followed by the association of ex-prisoners
of war and the battle flag division. Ohio
carried the old war flags, carefully furled,
brought from the relic room of the capital
for the purpose.
At the rendezvous points OF the various
departments coffee and sandwiches were
served to the waiting veterans, and those
who desired to do so were allowed to carry
away their cups as souvenirs.
Long before the parade started. the
streets were packed with humanity to a
degree which made it almost impossible to
move along the sidewalks. They came
early, many with chairs and boxes on which
to stand, and they brought their lunches.
Local newspapers estimate that including
the veterans and their women folks, there
were $50, 900 visitors in the city. Excursion
trains brought them by hundreds from the
