Lawson, member of the international executive board of the United Mine Workers of America yesterday was found guilty of murder in the first de- gree in connection with the death at Ludlow, Colo., on October 25, 1913, of John Nimmo, a deputy sheriff. Law- son wis'édntented it speria’ the re- mainder of his lfle‘ at hard labor in the Colorado penitentiary. Under the Colorado statutes, the jury, which had been deliberating since Saturday night, was empowered to return a sentence of either death or life imprisonment. Thirty days were given attorneys for the defense to file a motion for a new, trial, and Lawson was released tem- porarily in custody of his counsel. Last night Judge Granby Hillyer said he had not decided whether Law- son would be allowed- to remain at ] liberty pending the outcome of the fil- ing of a motion for a new trial. Law- son himself 8t a local hotel, talked quite philesophically of the verdict. He said: Fighting for Workingmen. “They may get me, but they can't defeat the cause of labor. I'm not worrying about myself—it's the fight I have bean making for the working- men that I am interested in—and that will go ahead. Even for me, it's a long way to the penitentiary. My at- torneys will not give up until every- thing possible has been done to save me.” Commenting on the verdict. Horace N. Hawkins, .chief counsel for the de- tense, said: *“I do not believe the verdict ever will be susiained. It is contrary to the evidence. I shall fight this case as long as there are courts in which to fight.” Leader in Colorado Strike. Lawson is the member of the inter- rational executive board of the United Mine Workers of America for district 15., He was one of the prominent | leaders in the recent coal miners’ sirike in, Colorade, which was one of the most notablé fabor conflicts in'the history of the United States, ; The strike was called for September 23, 1913. On that date thousands of miners laid down.their tools. Those lving upon the property of the coal cempanies loaded up their household goods and moved out, most of them settling in tent colonies established by the union. ' The largest of these was at Ludlow, a few miles north of Trinidad and in close proximity to the Hastings, Delagua, Tobasco, Berwind and. Forbes mines.

There was a series of clashes in the Ludlow and Forbes nelghborhood, and on October 29 the National Guard of Colorado, on orders from Gov, E, M. Ammons, took possession of the coal mining districts. It was in one of the Ludlow fights before the arrival of the state militia that John Nimmo was killed. Nimmo \v\u one of a force of deputies sta- tioned at the Ludlow seétion house under command of K. E. Linderfelt. | Linderfelt, a witness for the prosecu- tion, said the deputies were ordered by the then sheriff James S. Grisham to preserve order and preévent trouble between strikers and mine guards.

Paris, May 4, 5:10 'a. m.—-“Thepre- tically there is mo limit to the range of big guns,” said Henry Turpin, the inventor of melinite to a representa- tive of the Petit Parisien, in discuss- ing the bombardment of ’ Dunkirk. “When I was attached to the techni- cal artillery section of the ministry of war General Andro, then minister, asked me to make special experiments to see if it was possible to produce a projectile with a range equivalent to the distance from Calias to Dover. My first experiments and calculations showed it was poseible: to attain a much greater range than that.” It was while connected with the ministry of war that M. Turpin in- vented the aerial torpedo which the Germans appear to be using on both fronts, and the inventor is unable to understand how they learned the secret. NAUGATUCK VOTES i;CENSE.

London, May 4, 4:47 a. m.—German claims of a crushing defeat of the Russian center are exaggerated ac- ion of the Daily Mail's military cor- respondent, who says: “Such exaggerated claims are to be expected just now in view of the necessity of influencing wavering neu- trals. Nevertheless the German offen. sive against the Russian center long has been expected.. For’ the past month the Germans have been mov- ing men to Cracow. “That such a maneuver as piercing the Russian certer was essayed at the same time as serious attacks toward Riga and Ypres shows the resources and amazing audacity of the German staff. If the Russian front has been pierced and a serious reverse suf- fered, the war will be greatly pro- longed but that any German success, however great will affect the resist- ance of Russia cannot be believed.” Seeds--Se The Only Real Seed Store i in Is at No. 113 Church St At no other seed store in town will you find of high grade seeds as you will at this store-—we WHY EXPERIMENT WITH SEEDS?
