WALTER RAY SIMMONS
GETS NINETEENTH REPRIEVE
Walter Ray Simmons, under sen
tence of death for the murder of
Frank Pahl, of Spencer, in 1922, has
been granted another reprieve which
will expire July 9th. Simmons was
to have occupied the electric chair
sometime last Tuesday.
Governor McMullen announced the
new reprieve after he with the other
two members of the state pardon
board had concluded a conference
with Simmons which began at 9
o’clock Tuesday morning. '
The governor said the board would
meet in special session Tuesday to
decide whether or not they will give
Simmons another hearing some time
between now and July 9. If the new
hearing is not granted, and if further
legal efforth by Simmons’ attorneys
are unavailing, Simmons must die
July 9th.
A threat to carry the Simmons case
before the people and to use it as a
means of whiping the capital punish
ment law from the statutes was made
by Judge E. P. Holmes, Simmons’ at
torney.
Later: The state board of pardon
Wednesday, granted Simmons a re<
hearing, which has been fixed for
July 10th, at ten o’clock in the morn
ing.
Simmons’ attorneys say that they
will make a diligent hunt for the
man and woman whose testimony, as
it is told to them, will be that it was
Jack Currier and not Simmons who
killed Pahl. The thirty days was
made necessary by the law, which
provides for a notice to all persons
interested. Whatever is done then
will be final.

WHY MILK REMAINS SWEET
I have just installed a new Reid Milk Cooler and Areator. The
milk passes over the coils and cold water passes through them.
The milk is cooled from 98 degrees to 55 degrees as fast as it is
milked. The milk looses all the animal heat before being bottled
and will remain sweet much longer. Due to the rapid increase in
business since installing the cooler I believe it is a great help to
my customers.
I have also built a large cooler holding 1200 pounds of ice for
storing our butter and other dairy products. This insures you
receiving them in the best of shape.
All the leading dealers in town handle our butter! When buy
ing, ask them for it.
