mendation has been made to the state
pardon board to release from the state
penitentiary E. w. Gerbrick, who was
sentenced last July to a term Of from
thirty to forty years for causing the

1T Apishapa, Colo, Oct. 80, 1908 I'll
Gerbrick was sentenced on his own
confession, but Warden lyman became
convinced, before Gerbrick had been
in the penitentiary many weeks, that
the man, because of his love of no.

the railroad wreck and investigation
convinced officers of the law that this
story was true.
