TRINIDAD, Colo., May 3. John R.
Lawson. noted labor leader, today was
condemned to spend the remainder of
his life at hard laoor In the Colorado
Penitentiary. He was found guilty of
first-degree murder in connection with
the death of John Nimmo, a deputy
sheriff, killed in a strike battlo Octo
ber 25, 1913. Under the Colorado
statute, making it the duty of the jury
to fix the penalty at death or life Im
prisonment. the Jury In the District
Court, fixed the milder punishment.
Lawson sat immovable as the Jury
filed In tho courtroom. There was only
a sprinkling of spectators. Judge
Granby Hillyer had announced lunch
eon recess until 2 o'clock, and it was
not quite that hour when the Jury re
ported.
Silence Tense mm Jury Report..
In the midst of a tense silence the
'"lerk asked:
''Gentlemen, have you reached a ver
dict?"
The foreman replied, then handed
the written verdict to tho clerk, who
passed it to the Judge.
Lawson sat beside his counsel, his
eyes fixed on the Jury.
Judge Hillyer glanced at the verdict
then handed it back to Bowdery Floyd,
the clerk. . The clerk read aloud:
"We, the Jury, find tiie defendant
guilty of murder in the first degree and
fix the penalty at life imprisonment."
Lawson Smllea Silently.
A gasp, a sharp intake of breath, ran
around the still crowd. Lawson did
not move. A slight smile played over
his features. There was silence for a
few clock ticks. thn Horace N. Haw
kins, chief counsel for the defense,
asked that the Jury be polled. As the
clerk read the names, each man as
sented to the verdict. Then there were
brief legal formalities and the crowd
filtered out the door.
Thirty' days were given to file a mo
tion for a new trial and Lawson was
released temporarily in custody of his
counsel. He w-nt to his hotel with his
counsel where, tintil the court fixed ball,
he was theoretically a prisoner, al
though at liberty to come and go as he
pleased.

Seated at his lawyer's table after
the verdict, John R. Lawson talked
calmly of the outcome of his fight for
life and liberty.
"They may get me, but they can't
defeat the cause of labor," Lawson
said. "I'm not worrying about my

i CCORDING to the official state-
ments both of Berlin and Virnm,
the German and Austrian aims have
achieved a notable victory in West
Galicia, smashins; the entire Rust-fan
center along a front of many miles, or.
as Berlin roughly put.s It. across the
whole western tip uf Galicia. from
nearly the Hungarian - border to the
point where the River Dunujec Joins
the Vistula, which is right at the
frontier of Poland.
Though the 8000 prisoners whom the
Teutonic allies say they have taken
docs not compare with the number
which some of Field Marshal von
HindenburK's rushes nettt-d him in the
North, the achievement, if i-ubf-cquent
reports bear It out, will mean at least
a temporary check to the Russian
forces which have bven liMinmei'ing
their way westward since the fall of
PrzemysL
Berlin began celebrating the vic
tory last night, as id the custom thorc,
though it is admitted that the tl:ig3
were flown before full details were at
hand.
Kngland and France make no claim
to any gains In the west, the British
contenti j themselves with saying that
the tie. an attacks on the scarred Hill
60 In inders have been beaten back.
The J ench confirm this.
Tl' Germans maintain that they are
pushing forward to the northwest of
Yprea and toward St. Julien village,
which they captured after the attack
following their first extensive use of
gas, but which they were forced to
yie'd under counter attacks.
In the fighting In the Baltic prov
inces also Berlin finds cause to rejoice.
Rejecting the RusKian contention that I
it is only a sporadic cavalry raid, Ber
lin wireless comment received tonight
says it seriously threatens the Russian
right snd the fact that troops could
be moved so far northeast before they
encountered resistance is considered a
reflection on the Russian intelligence
system.
So far as claims go. Monday was an
Austro-German day. A number of .ves
sels, neutral and otherwise, fell vic
tims to German submarines, Norway
being a particularly heavy loser.
