TO SAVE LIBERTY
Plea for Leniency for Former
Sheriff, Convicted on Bal
lot Theft Charge, May Be
Made to Governor Meier
Attorneys and iriends of Gordon L.
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.
