Convicted of Murder In Boyd
County and Sentenced to
Electric Chair—His
Case Heard.
Lincoln, Neb., April JSpecia!).*—
Whether Walter Simmons, convicted
of murder of Frank H. Pahl, In Boyd
county. Is to go to the electric chair
Is before the supreme court, and at- 1
torneys In the case are hopeful of an
early decision. Concluding argu
ments were made to the court Sat

and his assistant, Lloyd Oort, filed
with the Judges their brief asking
the tribunal to affirm the conviction.
The trial court affixed the diekth
penalty .for Simmons, bu^ he filed an
appeal which has long fiu*-n pending.
The plea of Simmons’ counsel is that :
be should not have been convicted ^
on the circumstantial evidence, and
in any event that the sentence is f
excessive. The attorney general as- ^
sorts the evidence amply Justified the j
verdict; that Simmons proved a man '
of vicious, murderous temperament, j
and that every point In the case goes
to show ho killed the Spencer garage
man in cold blood In order to rob hUn
of the MHO he had when Slmmona
employed him to take him to an al
leged rendezvous of bottleggers In
Boyd county.
A few days following the killing of
Pahl, Simmons was arrested at Nor* ,

Iowa State Treasurer Burbank
Continues to Heed Advice
and Delay Pay
ment.
Dm Moines, la., April <U. P.)—•
Sale of Iowa's $22,000,000 soldier
bonus bond issue still hung fire today.
State Treasurer Burbank and bond
buyers met again this morning but
market conditions had not changed
enough to bring In a bid acceptable to
the treasurer, and the sale was ad
journed until 11 a. m. tomorrow.
Burbank remains unyielding In his
refusal to agree to the readvertlse
ment and resale recommended by
Governor Kendall. State Auditor
Haynes Rnd Secretary of State
Ramsay, the other three members of
the executive committee.
, The latter want a new issue, the
state not to pay over 5 per cent, in
terest, while the successful bidder
would be allowed to tix the rate he
would pay.
No change in the present procedure
was Indles.ted, however, us the treas
urer waited for bids today. Two bond
house representatives were present.
Although many proposals and sug
gestions have been made, no actual
bid has been received yet. Conditions
that prospective buyers have insisted
upon cannot be accepted because they
aie illegal, according to Burbank. The
principal difficulty centers on 'the
question, of selling the bonds at par
and accrued Interest—conditions
■ which bond buyers have insisted upon
modifying.

cause Germans were shut off from the
