Lawson, labor leader, today was con- demned to spend the remainder of his life at hard labor in the Colorado pent- tentiary. He was found guilty of first degree murder in connection with the death of John Nimmo, a deputy sheriff, Killed in a strike battle October 25, 1913. Under the Colorado statute making it the duty Of*the jury to fix the: penalty at death or life imprison- ment, the jury in the district court .| fixed the milder punishment. Thirty days were given to file a mo- tion for a new trial, and Lawson was released temporarily in custody of his counsel. i ever will be sustained,” said Horace N. Hawkins, chief counsel for the defense. “It is contrary to the evidence, I shall fight this case to a finish,- as long as there are. courts in which to fight.” Later Attorney Hawkins issued an additional statement, in which he said Lawson, a labor leader, as a victim. Rockefeller’s lawyers worked up the evidence and Rockefeller’s detectives testified in the case to secure convic- tion. The verdict is an unspeakable outrage. In any other community an acquittal would have been had in five minutes. The conviction is stirring the Nation. Telegrams are pouring in on us from’ all over the country, and the beginning is not yet.” Lawson was-charged with the homi- cide on the theory of the prosecution that he was in charge of the tent colo- ny and in command of the strikers in the battle. i TYPHUS ABATES. IN SERVIA Conditions Much Improved Within Last Few Weeks—Two American Doctors Die of Disease. New York, May 4.—The typhus fever situation in Servia is not now so critical. as it was six weeks ago, according to Dr. Clapham King of the American Red Cross Society, who ‘re- turned, from Seryia yesterday with thirteen nurses, who have been serv- ing in France and Servia. He attribu- ted this improvement to the assist- ance sent to Servia from various coun- tries. Dr. King and eight of the nurses have recently recovered from attacks of typhus fever contracted while work- ing in Servia. They were members of the original units sent to that country when the war broke out. Of twelve eight of the former and five of the latter were victims of the disease, ac- cording to Dr. King, who said that two of the surgeons, Donnelly and Masgru- der, died from typhus. Dr. King and the nurses who arrived here were stationed at Gievgelia, where, he said, typhus prevailed in its worst worm. The four remaining nurses of the unit, and one doctor, have now been removed to Belgrade, the work at Gievgelia having been turned over to the Servians.
