LONG SENTENCE j
Thirty Years 10 Life Penalty
For Brutal Murder Of
His Mistress !,
GETS STAY OF EXECUTION

Last Tuesday at Leadville, Jack
Fallon, who spent SINE time in Glen
wood and vicinity over year ago,
and who was known as rounder and
tough, was sentenced by Judge Bouck
to term in tho peaitentiary for from
thirty years to life, for the murder Of
his mistress last winter. The Herald
Democrat thus describes the sentence
by the court: h.
Jack Fallon was standing.
His lips quivered, his mouth twitch-
cd, his face went through series Of
rapid contortions- ns-involuntary, horri-
registering uncontrollable and in
describable emotions and over it ali
an ashen' paleness enshrouded every
feature of his countenance.
Above him sat as the Judge, Francis
E. Bouck, with his stern and judicial
features, fair, as the defendant him
self had admitted, but who had to
uphold the law, ana who had to mete
out justice according to it, and ~.
knowledged fair in the doing of il.
"1s there any reason, besides the
general claim Of innocence, why judg.
ment should not be passed upon youi''

"No," was the response. Fallon
gulped as he uttered the words; tears
filled his eyes; he could mot speak. He

going to battalion headquarters. From
there they will be sent to regimental
headquarters, and from there to di-
vision headquarters, and after their
training there they will be ready for
field service.
The object of this plan is for the
men to receive their preliminary train
ing in their home county, thus elm
mating the great expense of the gov
ernment building cantonments, and
moving the men around from place to
place over long distances and at
heavy expense before they are ready
for actual service. AS far as possible
each company win be differed by
men from their own county.
All necessary information relative to
the housing, feeding and training IA
cilities at Glenwood Springs has been
obtained and is now on file with the
war department at Washington.
The war department does not regard
this plan as mobilization scheme.
but is bringing it out as an expert
ment and test to see how it will work
out, and how it will be received by
the public. Inasmuch as this il the
plan which General Pershing and his
colleagues had worked out, it was con
sidered = fitting honor to the general
to test the plan or the day of his re-
tirement from service. The latest re-
port is that over two million men
signed up for this emergency service
on National Defense day.
