FEIENDS IN GRANT COUMT ABE
SIGNING PRATERS.
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.

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-

After prayers, the Archbishop of

and the ktntf : and .queen, resumlnj
their crowns and scepters, returned
to their thrones, to the triumphant
trains of Sir Charles Stanford's "To
Deum and the -Gloria In Excelils."
A few moments later their majes
ties prepared to take their departure,
and passing on either side of tha altar,
retired to St. Edward' chapel, where

first Vf the colonial troops, a sturdy
body of Canadian cavalry, and in their
rear, la turn, came escorts of Austral
ian and South African horse. ' 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. : .

Walt at the Abbey. "
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.
There were also handsome arches
erected by the Canadian, Astralian,
and New Zealand governments.
