Clarke Makes Final Appeal.
"Governor, may I telegraph my mother
there la aome hope?" With thla statement
Harrison Clarke, condemned to die Friday
for the murder of Edward Flury, closed
his final appeal to Governor Sheldon for
clemency. The governor replied he had
nothing to say now. Clarke aska that hla
sentence be commuted to life imprison
ment. The hearing was the first of thla
kind ever held in Nebraska under the pres
ent law and the first ever held in the state
penitentiary. The condemned man prac
tically Ignored his lawyer, summoned and
questioned 'witnesses and made his own
argument. In which he analysed minutely
the testimony given In his trial and an
swered in detail written statements of
Judge Button and Judge Blabaugh that his
legal rights had been taken care of in hla
trial. In hla' close he left his line of argu
ment and made an appeal for hla Ufa for
the sake of hla wife and mother.
"It makea little dltTerence to me, gov.
ernor," ha said, "whether I am to be
hanged. I can march to the gallows just
as calm as I am now. The warden can
spring the trap, I shoot down to the end
of the rope, and that Is the end so far as
I am oonoerned. My body may give a few
twitches and m legs may Jerk a little.
but I will feel no pain. It Is for those left
behind that I am pleading to you. Thla
wife who, though living apart from me
when thla crime waa committed, came over
from Iowa to stand by me during my
trouble. For my mother, who- la now down
In Missouri praying that her boy may ba
saved."
Clarke had been given letters from Judge
Button and Judge Blabaugh, the county
attorney, who prosecuted him. In which
these two said hla legal rights had been
taken care of and that he had been given
a fair trial. In answering these statements
Clarke aatd ha haA been refuaed permis
sion to employ his own attorney. "That la
how my legal rights were preserved. They
refused to call Wain to testify that'a
how my legal righta were preserved i I
waa refuaed permission to cross-examine
witnesses that'a how my legal rights were
preserved. On witness said there were
twenty-six shots fired he heard there were
four five aooters and one six shooter In
the crowd. These revolvers were not all
loaded full that'a how my legal righta
were preserved'
Clarke then went Into the testimony In
detail.' Gathiig-ht was called back to the
stand to be questioned by Clarge regarding
a revolver he waa supposed to have car
ried. He again ohanged hla story of yes
terday and Clarke In hla statement told
the governor that Gathrlght waa Irrespon
sible and not right In his head.
Attorney Haa a gay.
Previous to the statement by Clark At-
tornew Crowe made a lengthy speech In
Which he defended himself against a state
ment made in a Lincoln paper regarding
aome alleged statement Clarke had made.
Benton Bell of Omaha made a short appeal
for tneroy. Bell haa had charge of th
case of Clark before the governor. Dur
ing- the hearing he frequently consulted
with the condemned man and sat with
Mrs. Clark during th hearing. He ex
pressed the opinion that whatever Gov
ernor Sheldon did th people would be sat
isfied, for he had all th evidence before
him. Th chapel at th penitentiary, where
th hearing wag. held, was comfortably
filled, many white people being In attend
ance. .When Clarke cam Into th room
he presented his wlfa with a bouquet of
flewera. Clark frequently smiled during
th speech of his attorney.
Governor Bbeldon decided to remain at
th penitentiary during th evening and
have prtvat Interviews with Wain and
Gathrlght. Their stories have been a
conflicting that he is at a loss to know
what to believe, and hopes by getting
them alor. to arrive at th trutlu
No Opposition to Bryan.
"Mr. Bryan will be nominated by ths
democrats by acclamation. There will be
no opposition upon the part of anyone,"
aald former Senator Fred T. Dubois of
Idaho thla morning. Senator Dubois and
wife arrived laat evening and visited at
the Bryan home until thla afternoon, when
they left for th west.
"I attended the meeting of th national
committee at French Lick and th Bryan
dmeonstratlon at Chicago and I found th
sentiment to be unanimously for the Lin
coln man's nomination. No one els was
seriously considered r even mentioned.
The leaders apparently realise' that th
rank and - file of the party demand Mr.
Bryan's nomination and if any of them
secretly prefer some one else, they kept
It to themselves. But I do not think that
there la much expressed feeling. Enthusi
asm waa manifest everywhere and some
men who have not always exactly agreed
to Bryan in the past, I found to be moat
pronouncedly for him at the present time.
"The prospect for democratic success
are extremely flattering. The party will
go Into the approaching campaign present
ing a united front for the first time In
years. There will be no dissensions, no
sAilsms and no factlona. On the other
hand the republicans are now dividing and
are certain to be more so no matter who
succeeds in capturing the nomination.
Whoever heada the ticket ia bound to
drive away thousands of votes and by th
time th convention Is over the party will
without doubt be more badly rent than It
is at present.
"Developments in the financial world
within ths past few weeks are also sure
to hurt the republicans. The country haa
been confronted with a well nigh disastrous
panto In a time of profound peace, when
the nation la teeming with wealth and th
party 'in power will of course be held ac
countable at least to a certain extent.
Then, too, I have heard many criticisms
as to the manner In which th crisis waa
handled by th adnlqSstratlasv Ail f these
things are sound to be of assistance to the
democrat next year.
Senator Dubois stated that his visit was
merely of a social nature. This morning
M. A. Hoyt, editor and publisher of the
Dally News, Milwaukee, Wis., aleo come
for a br4of friendly visit to Mr. Bryan.
He was accompanied hy Mayor James C.
Dahlman of Omaha and Frank T. Ran
som of that city. Mr. Hoyt atated that
his visit hsd no political significance. He
left for his home thla afternoon at 4
o'clock, at which time the Omaha men
returned to that city.

Mayor Dahlman of Omaha and a number
of prominent democrats arrived In Lincoln I
today and paid a visit to Falrvlew, where
they were In consultation with Mr. Bryan.

Labor Commissioner Ryder has figured
that the corn and wheat crop of Nebraska
alone this season will bring enough money
to psy the expenses of the fleet of the
United States on Its trip to the Pacific
and will buy. all the new battleships needed
and the have a goodly number of millions
left (over. The corn crop is estimated at
$73,000,000 and th wheat crop at $36,000,000.
Chairman Wlnnett la Back.
Chairman H. J. Wlnnett of the ralroad
commission did not complete the trip over
the Missouri Pacific tracks. He left the
other commissioners st Weeping Water
and went to Omaha on the regular train,
returning this morning. He says the Mis
souri Pacific has wonderfully Improved Its
track and he thinks It very likely that the
speed limit order applying to the road will
now be rescinded.
The expenses of the trip of inspection
will be borne by the railroad commission,
the board desiring to psy the company
for the services of Its motor car and men.
The road was willing to present the use
of the same as a courtesy, but the com
mlssioh is unwilling to accept this In view
of the rather stringent legislation besrlng
upon this subjeot In Nebraska. '
