Imposition on Foot to Gain liberty for Ccnmned Man. (Baker Democrat.) , That Joseph Cassaday, formerly deputy sheriff of Grant county, now under sentence of death for the mur der of Ollte Snyder near Canyon City may be pardoned, Is the hope' of hb many ' friends In Grant county, who have started the circulation of a pe tition to be , presented to Governor West, asking executive clemency for the condemned man. Casaaday was sentenced to death for the murder of Snyder on Decem ber 26, 1910 His case was appealed to the supreme court and the sentence was confirmed. Under the law he was brought back to Grant county and was re-sentenced yester day by Judge Dalton Brlggs. The first sentence of death was impocel by Judge Davis. ' ' Casaaday was convicted of the crime for delivering Snyder over to Emmett Shields, Earl Shields, Ben j Hlnton and Albert Green, who made away with him. The reason for th crime was his alleged interference in their scheme of making away with some stock belonging to other parties. The feeling was very strong in Grant county at the time, but there Is a change in the sentiment ot the . people, and already letters have been written to the governor by promi nent people asking him for leniency toward the condemned man. Sheriff Charles Collier of Grant county and two deputies, arrived here with the prisoner last night, and left on the late train for Salem. Cassaday was lodged In the Baker county Jail during their, stay here. According to Sheriff Collier, the re turn of Cassaday to his home was very touching, and the sentiment in his fa vor 1b growing to euch an extent that every possible effort will be put forth by the entire population to Induce Gov ernor West to clemency. ,1 palace. They retained their crowns and scepters, however, and the full state procession having been re-formed, made their way from the abbey to commence their triumphal Journey back to the palace1. Great Procession Starts. At 10:30 the activity of the army signallers on the palace roof and the roof of the neighboring Queen Anne's Mansions, proclaimed that the procej lon was starting, ; The procession was really, divided fnto three parts the state procession, consisting of the carriages and escorts of the British and foreign royalties, the Duke of Connaught'g procession and the king's procession. The first started from Buckingham palace, the second from Clarence house In St. James street, joining the first at Marlborough gate in the Mall and the third, which except for hi majesty's personal attendants, wts drawn up in the Mall and Constitution Hill, awaited the actual departure of the king and queen, before following the Duke of Connaught. The state procession was led by the state trumpeters, the Life Guards band and the advance guard of the escort of Royal Horse Guards. Then followed the state carriages contain ing the Prince of Wales and the other royal children, relatives, and foreign royalties closely related to the Brit ish royal family. The rear guard of the. escort wns followed, from Marlborough gate, by . the Duke of Connaught and his family and staff, also escorted by Life Guards, lust as the Duke's procession turned into tha Mall, the thunder of guns from Hyde park announced that their majesties were leaving the palace nnl the third third procession moved for vard. An officer ft the headquarters staff of the army led the way and behind came trumpeters and the advance guard of the sovereign's escort of Royal Horse Guards, nodding with plumes and gleaming In steel. Then came a dozen of the king's watermen, headed by royal Bargemaster W. G. East, a quaint group of sturdy boat men la mediaeval uniforms ot scarlet and purple and with broad gold bodg es. Next appeared a dozen carriages conveying great officers of state, pageB of honor and the ladies of the queen's retinue. Following these carriages rode the king's aides-de-camp, a bril liant group of regular army and navy, territorial, colonial and Indian offl-( cm, the latter including the Maha rajah of Gwallor, Kuch-Behar, Blka nar and Idar and the Nawabs ot Ram- (Continued from page 3) same time the queen offered her ohta tlon of an altar cloth and "a mark s weight" of gold.'

' Not a 'few members of the latter troop used their rifles against the British ten years ago and it wag characteristic of the changed condition of things to see the Identical weapons for the protec tion of a British king. ' The dusky, turbaned troopers of ttio Indian cavalry came next and then, preceded by a gorgeous trumpeter in crimson and gold, came the body guard proper the first division of th? sovereign's escort of Royal Horse j Guards. 1 As the leading sections appeared ia view gruff commands sounded ; in which the words, "royal salute" could be distinguished, and as the bayone ted rifles of the soldiers who lined t'mj roadway came down to the "present," the regimental colors were lowered to the gravel strewed pavement, bands struck up the national anthem and the crowd, which already ha1 been cheer ing well known persouages and the colonials, gave vent to one long-sustained roar of enthusiasm. . Royal Coach Appears. Behind the gleaming cuirasses and waving plumes of the "blues" there rumbled an enormous, elaborately dec orated, picturesque old state coach through the windows of which the spectators In the foreground could oc casionally catch Just a gllmpe of the prome of the king or of the- queen. Eight white horses drew the vehicle, their gold-spangled harnesses glitter ing in the light. A liveried and be wlgged coachman sat proudly on the box, a liveried and bewigged postillion bestrode the back of each horse, a scarlet coated .grooni walked at the head of each horse and from the rrar of the coach there clung a half dozen footmen, also magnificently liveried and bewigged. Their majesties seemed in excellent health and spirits and bowed constant ly, to right, to left, in acknowledge ment of their subjects' cheerBi They wore- full state robes but were without their crowns until the return Journey from Westminster abbey. , . . A few yeomen of the guard and gentlemen-at-arms marched on either J side ot the coach, and oh the right, close to and only slightly behind the door, rade Lord Kitchener. The com mander ot the coach's escort was sX the left. Whatever today's pageant may have meant to the others who participated in it. it was clear that to the famou field marshal and to the colonel ot tha "blues," it was strictly a matter of businesB. They were responsible for their sovereign's lives and neitner took any chances. Lord Kitchener held his marshal's baton in his right hand hut the drawn aword of the sec ond In command otv the escort was close behind, and, the a colonel's sword guarded the queen. : . n.Mnd the coach was the royal start dard. flanked by. trumpetors and the guardsmen.

" Thus the procession proceeded along the Mall, through the Admire- ' Arch, around to the right and down Whitehall, into Parliament street and across Parliament square to the clev erly built annex which formed the western entrance to the ancient abbey. Everywhere their majesties were r celved with tremendous enthusiasm and when they had entered the abbey, the crowd settled down patiently to wait for the return" Journey. Those in the procession who were to take no part In the abbey ceremony piled arms and amused themselves as best they could until the signallers on the ab bey roof warned them that the crown was about to be placed upon the king's head. Then ranks were re-formed and the troops participated In the royal sa lute that accompanied the roar of gunn from Hyde park and the tower. Af ter this there was another wait until the busy signallers announced the end of the ceremony, upon which the pro cession was re-marshalled for the re turn to Buckingham palace. x Trumpets and the playing of the.na tlonal anthem announced the depar ture from the abbey, and wearln;; their crowns and clasping their scep ters, the kins and queen proceeded, by way of Whitehall, Cockspur street. Pall Mall, St. James street, Piccadil ly and Constitution Hill back to the palace amidst renewed demonstra tions of popular enthusiasm fnd loy alty. The decorations along the route were many and elaborate. The Mill is too wide to lend itself to much adornment but big Venetian masts, gaily festooned and decorated with armorial shields,' the royal cipher and j the imperial crown, showed among the trees In the park and formed the sup ports for arches of greenstuff, flowers and bunting. St. James palace and Marlborough house were hung with scarlet and gold drapery and window cloths and! all the aristocratic residents ot Carl- j ton house terrace hung out their ban ners on the wall facing the park. The great arch of empire, designed by Prof. Lanterl, was, however, the principal feature of the Mall decora tions. The Admiralty Arch, which marks the end ot the Mall, was one mass of bunting and evergreen and along Whitehall, the Westminster borough council wat entitled to credit for a most elaborate color scheme.
