Simmons Expects New Evidence to Give Him Liberty J Turning Poinl Passed. Says Reprieved Slayer—Gan Now Fill Gaps in Story. Lincoln, Neb., May 23.—Walter Ray Simmons, who was saved from the electric chair Thursday afternoon by a last-minute reprieve until June 10 issued at 4:10 p. m. by Governor Bryan, declared today that he believes the turning point lias been passed. "Additional evidence will soon show up,” Simmons said, "which will fill the gap the state says exists in my story of the night of May 14, 1922, when Phal was killed.” ♦lomnicnting on the presentation of affidavits front Boyd county which re sulted in the granting of a reprieve Simmons said: "There’s a lot of other informatlon up there which hasn't leaked out yet. I’ve been after several fellows at Spencer to tell what they know but so far it’s been nothing doing.” When informed that certain of ficials claimed the affidavits which stayed his execution were made by friends, Simmons branded the charge as absurd and said lie didn’t even know the men who filed the affi davits. Simmons praised Governor Bryan mid Attorney General Spillman blit expressed a belief that County Attor ney Matson "had it in for him.” Sinnnons also said he had just re i eived a letter from S. L. Gross, in the narcotic service at San Francisco, w ho told him he knew Jack Curley in Montana and that he would do all he could to help locate Curley, who Simmons says is the slayer. "I was already measured for my lit tle wooden box,” Simmons said, "but I don't expect to be that close to death again soon.” (Courteaey of Rodin Digest) By' Associated Press. WSB.
