Schermerborn, long tlm resident and former sheriff, under a three years' sentence to state prison for convic tion of complicity In the ballot thefts, have launched a movement to save him from the stigma of a penitentiary term. According to Frank J. Newman, this will take the form of a plea of leniency from the gov ernor, or a modified sentence, through action of the attorney gen eral's office. The supreme court this week dis missed Schermerhorn'a appeal and al. lowed him 20 days in which to file a petition for rehearing. At the end of that period, unless there Is of ft clal Intercession, commitment papers will be issued for the aged and worry worn former oflicial. Newman Sees Collier Attorney Newman has been in Port land the past week conferring with Attorney John A. Collier on a future course of action in behalf of Scher mernorn, Collier, well remembered here as chief counsel for Hugh De Autremont In the Siskiyou tunnel attempted train robbery and quad ruple murder of n years ago, was retained two months ago. The district attorney's office said ths morning they had been advised by Attorney Newman, 'by telephone from Portland, that steps to lighten the burden for the former official were under way but that all matters In connection therewith rested with the attorney general's office. The lo cal officials know nothing of any ne gotiations. Had Agreement It has been revealed that before Schermerhorn went to trial for bal lot .theft, the attorney general's of fice, through the pleadings of friends of many years standing, agreed to allow Schermerhorn pieud guilty to malfeasance in office, with a mini mum sentence, with a recommenda tion of parole for that period. It was thus thought that the ends of Justice could be served and the ex pense to the county cancelled. Seller- 1 merhorn Is said to have agreed to the malfeasance pica but changed his : mind and elected to go to trial. He j was found guilty by a Jackson, coun-! ty Jury after 17 hours deliberation.! The district attorney's office said that any action In Schermerhorn' behalf would have to be with the approval of Judge George F. Skip- worth, the trial judge. Judge SKip worth, in sentencing Schermerhorn, expressed regret that be had not seen fit to accept a lesser charge and aaia that the sentencing was one of "the most painful duties of my life," and characterized the former official as a "dupe" of . H. Fehi and L. A. Banks, local agitators now serving prison terms. Schermerhorn was ousted upon orders of the governor for failure to fulfill the duties of his office when the turmoil was at tta height. Had Guilty Knowledge Testimony In the trial showed that Schermerhorn took no actual part In the ballot thefts but had guilty knowledge of Its plaus and consum mation and was around the court house when It was under way. The district attorney's office said It was unusual for a convicted per son to be granted clemency before he had served a period in the peni tentiary. Schermerhorn was convicted last August 7 and has been at liberty since on $7500 bonds. Friends and relatives of J. Arthur LaDleu, former Banks newspaper manager, and Walter J. Jones, for mer mayor of Rogue River, both un der four-year sentences for vote stealing, have sought paroles for them recently without success. Earl H. Fchl, former county judge, has also taken steps for . liberty within - the past two months. MAH0NEY FRIENDSiWILLIAWlS DENIES EXPENDED $1652iW0ULD LEADG.O.P. ROOSEVELT SEES GROTOM, Mass..
