After hearing Attorneys Holmes
and Mann on the question of grant
ing a rehearing on an application of
Simmons for commutation to life im
prisonment Governor McMulIen, Sec
retary of State Pool and Attorney
General Spillman held a brief execu
tive session at half past 12 o'clock
Monday. The governor announced
that the board had arrived at no de
cision but would meet again Tues-
jday at half past 2 o'clock in execu
tive session.
Simmons is confined at the peni
tentiary under a respite which ex
pires June 9. He was convicted in
October, 1922, of the murder of
Frank Pahl of Spencer.
Under an announcement of the
governor. Judge Holmes was required
to present all so-called newly discov
ered evidence to the board Monday
so as to enable the board to decide
whether a rehearing should be grant-

runner unveniur uryan wiin me
other members the same as now de
clined to commute Simmons' sen-
tsnce. The supreme court of the j
United States has also declined to re-
view the case. :
Judge Holmes contended in his ,
most positive manner that Simmons
is innocent. He dwelt with empha
sis upon affidavits from Rapid City,
S. D., tending to show that Jack Cur- j
rier, whom Simmons alleges commit-i
ited tho murder, is a real person and
not a myth as tho state alleges, also'
that several jurors were perjurers ,
when they sat in the case and that!
evidence now known if presented at
the trial, would have resulted in a ;
verdict different from the one 1m-;
posed. I
Judge Holmes closed with a re-
quest that Judge Dickson of O'Neill,
judge of the district court, be allow- I
ed to show what effect all this so-'
called newly discovered evidence'
would have had on any reasonable i
mind. He did not say the judge J
would testify that he believed Sim-!
raons guilty.
Judge Thomas also asked that j
Sylvester Thomas, formerly employed ,
in Pahl's garage, now living in South j
Dakota, be called before the board.
W. T. Wills, attorney of Butte, who
defended Simmons on his trial, said
he would pay tho expenses of Thom
cs. He desired to show that Thomas
was aware that Pahl was dealing in j
contraoana liquor witn tne missing
Currier.
Mr. Mann al?o for Simmons said
his side would like to get the testi
mony of Aldena Wooleiser, whom he
said is now living at 1009 North
Twenty-fourth street, Omaha. He !
said she had said Jim Herman, al-'
leged to have been with the bootleg-J
,ro wuvjin ti ill iliKiiL oayzy uiuc aitaj f
with Pahl, had told her he helped
kill Pahl. Herman is now serving a
term in the Wyoming penitentiary
for murder.
County Attorney Matson of Lan
caster, who aicled in the prosecution
of Simmons, presented affidavits to
show that Simmons, when arrested j
at Norfolk, was asked the names of i
the bootleggers he was alleged to
have been with, and in reply he said
man as he had never seen him be-' 7:0' ?'as m ruins toda' as a result

Lock fi,r the
PoUiiine tiim
3 machine is more dependent on proper
lubrication than a gasoline motor. No
lubrication problem has been more
carefully studied or is better under
stood. But careless lubrication cost American
motorists half a billion dollars, from 1914 to 1923,
for repair parts and labor (the figure given in a
paper presented before the Automotive Service
Association at their recent New York conference).
This repair bill would have been a let smaller
if the lubrication rules outlined in "Plain Facts
About Modern Motor Fuel and Motor Oil" had
been observed. On request, we will gladly send
you a copy.
Plenty of oi! does not guarantee protection, full
power or big mileage per gallon of gasoline. Only
clean oil of the right grade can do this and no
oil i clean after 5G0 miles of operation.
Folarine is made in six grades Light, Me
dium, Heavy, Special Heavy, Extra Heavy
and a special grada for Ford car3 and trucks
only, Polarine "F" a grade to suit every
make of motor.
So consult the Polarine Chart and get just the
right grade for your motor-. Empty your crank
case every five hundred miles and refill with fresh
Polarine. It will save you money. Buy it at the
Red Crown Service Station where you buy Red
Crown the balanced gasoline.
