SAVED FROM DEATH
: ON THE GALLOWS
Governor Gillett COmmutes Sen.
tence of William Buckley to
Is Years Imprisonment

SACRAMENTO Sept. Ex-Governor
Gillett today committed the sentence of
William Buckley, convicted in San
Francisco of numbering George Rice
during the labor troubles of 1901 and
sentenced to death, to Is years impris-
onment.
This communication will enable the
state board Of prison directors to parole
Buckley and the governor eventually to
pardon him.
The governor intimated that he was
convinced that Buckley was innocent of
the Crime Of which he was convicted.
CRIME FOR WHICH CONVICTED
The crime laid at Buckley's door was
committed in San Francisco October II,
1901, at Twentieth and Howard streets.
This was a period of Industrial strife
In the. metropolis. due to the strike OF
the union machinists.
Governor Gillett is convinced that the
crime was committed by man named
rChina' Copeland. desperate, who
confessed his guilt but has so far es-
capped capture. The other men con-
cerned were Thomas Moran, Charles
Donnelly and Edward Duncan. Dom
Hclly was convicted OIL HluTueT III the
second degree and afterward died in
Folsom prison.
THINKS HIM INNOCENT
In summing up the evidence Governor
Gillett makes the following deductions:
1T appears from the af1idavits and
testimony that the killing of Rice was
done by Copeland. and not by Buckley.
or the truth OF this I am fully satis-
fed, and If It were not for other facts
connected with this ARRAY this opinion
would entitle Buckley to q complete
pardon. But in view OF the fact that
Buckley was present at the time Of the
killing, his flight and other circun-
stances, / can not but feel some justin
cation in the belief that Buckley was
in some degree culpable.
am therefore constrained to grant
a Communication OF sentence to such time
~ will entitle him to immediate parole
to the end that may determine by
his conduct outside Of the prison walls
he Is worthy Of complete par

WASHINGTON. Sept. 21.-That Amer
lean railroads can get unlimited hnan-
ciaI support from Europe If congress
provides for government control OF cap
italization is the assertion made TO-DAY
by Interstate Commerce Commissioners
Franklin h. Lane. who mas just re-
turned from abroad.
Lane SAYS that hundreds of millions
of dollars stand ready to be poured INTO
American railroad properties by EURO
mean investors if some kind OF assur-
ance can be given to them by the gov
eminent of the United States that the
properties are sound and the secnritles
safe hut without such assurance the
investors are chary of buying American
railroad stocks.
american railroad stocks are not
listed on the Paris bourse, with Few
exceptions" said Lane The peopie
over there. not only in France. olH IN
other European countries, want some
sort of assurance from the govern
ment of this country that the securlsies
are all right. With such assurance tney
wouId invest literally. American rail-
roads can get all the money they neeo
for extensions and improvements II we
have government control OF caphtalza-
ton.
1.-The opportunity for investment IN
enterprises abroad are limited. They
are anxious to invest in American rail-
road securities II they can be convinced
these are safe. In France, for in
stance. the people have no end of mon
ey. The banks are filled. With gov
eminent control of capitalization, much
of this money would find it's way to
the United States. In England they
are anxious for American invest
ments."
Lane said he had looked with good
deal of care into the English road regu-
la tion. On the whole he did not think
it offered any suggestions to this coun-
try. He said however, that parlia-
ment had provided for uniform CLASH
fication of freights. He is convinced
that this is practicable for the United
States. The Swiss system of doing
things impressed Lane. He found there
that the trains on the government
owned roads ran on time. He asked
a native Swiss about it,
Well" said the Swiss. az quoted by
Lane, you know we run the govern
ment over here and the government
runs the roads. II the roads were not
run right We would throw out this
government and get one that would
run them to our satisfaction
