WALTER KAY SIMMONS
PAYS DEATH PENALTY
IN ELECTRIC CHAIR
Protesting his innocence to the
last but showing no fear toward
death, Walter Ray Simmons was
electrocuted at the state penitentiary
in Lincoln at 7:06 a. m. Tuesday, end
ing his three-year battle to escape
the death penalty meted him after his
conviction of murdering Frank Pahl,
of Spencer, Nebraska, on May 14,
1922.
Letters from Wyoming, Nebras
ka and South Dakota, which poured
into Gov. Adam McMullen’s office
Monday night, from persons claiming
to know the real slayer of Pahl, failed
to obtain a twenty-second reprieve
for the condemned man.
Simmons was pronounced dead at
7:10 o’clock, ending one of the most
drastic battles for life ever fought in
the courts of Nebraska. Following
conviction in district court, Simmons
case was heard twice by the state su
preme court, twice by the state board
of pardons. He was granted twelve
reprieves by former Governor Charles
W. Bryan, and seven by Governor
McMullen.
Nothing was left undone by Josiah
Coombs and Judge E. P. Holmes,
Simmon’s attorneys, to save him from
the electric chair. Every known ef
fort was made through the courts to
obtain another reprieve for him at
the last moment. The governor and
pardon board stood firm in their be
lief that Simmons had received a fair
trial and was not being unjustly exe
cuted.
Simmons maintained his air of
nonchalance to the last. Laughing
and joking with the Warden and
others on the way to the death chair
he asked the warden if “he had any
tags on his clothes, I certainly hate
to have St. Peter see me come up
there with anything like that hang
ing to me.” As he walked into the
death chamber, he paused and greet

SERIOUSLY INJURED
IN AUTO ACCIDENT
Mrs. Theodore Wolff was seriouslj
injured and a daughter, Elizabeth
suffered injuries to her back wher
their car backed down the Spencei
hill and overturned in$o the Niobrara
river Saturday morning about eleven
o’clock .
Mr. Wolff accompanied by Mrs.
Wolf and their children Elizabeth,
Jennie, and Anthony, and Mrs.
Louis Wolff of West Point and her
two children, Leonard and Norma,
were going north on the Spencer
hill just north of the Whiting bridge
when their car stopped and the

west of the north end of the bridge.
The water is shallow at this point,

HUGH E. DONOHOE MAKES
435 YARD HOLE IN TWO
O’Neill golfers are just uounn t*
mulce records, wherever tney may as.
Several of the local golfers have made
holes in one and thus covered tnent
selves with glory, but Hugh E. Dono
hoe, brother of James A. Donohoe
and P. C. Donohoe, a former O’Neill
boy now residing at Chehalis, Wash
ington, hung up a record recently
for all golfers to shoot at by making
a 435 yard hole in two. the following
account of the event is taken from
the Chehalis Times:
“Chehalis, Wash. Some persons are
born famous. Some are lucky, but it
comes to knocking over a 435-yard
hole in two you have to doff the head
piece to our friend and councillor, H.
E. Donohoe.
• “Some time back a player of the
game known as cow pasture pool,
in the vicinity of Everett, hung up a
record that he thought would stand.
He gathered a 428-yard hole in two
on the course of the Everett Golf &
Country Club green and his followers
around Everett and vicinity were loud
in their acclaim.
Just to show them that better
things could be done in the far famed
southwest section of Washington, “H.
E.” drove 260 yards and sunk his
175-yard mid-iron shot for his mark.
According to all reports this record
is the best so far this season. Fur
thermore “H. E.’’ says that no rec
ords are safe when he is around, not
even his own, so look out in the
future.
