Escaped convict Morris hunted with bloodhounds in Leadville
Sherman W. Morris alias Frank Shercliff, killer of saloon keeper J W Walsh, remains at large after escaping Sheriff Bonner of Lake County. Bloodhounds were brought from Buena Vista but gave no clue. Authorities search coal camps and tracts near Greenwood cemetery and rail lines as rain obliterates tracks. Morris may die by his own hand rather than surrender if pursued.
