Husband Shot by Mate After He
Sued Her for Divorce; May Die
John C. McDonald, 60, 1512 Avenue
P, Council Bluffs, was shot In the
left side of the abdomen Tuesday
morning by bis wife, Adell, against
whom he filed divorce proceedings
Monday afternoon. McDonald will
recover, attendants at Jennie Kd
mundsen hospital said last night.
Mrs. McDonald is being held by police
charged with shooting with Intent to
kill.
McDonald told police that he was
engaged In moving a heating stove
from one room to another in the
home. His wife was arguing with
him, he said, and suddenly became
enraged, snatched a revolver and
shot him.
.Self-Defense Claimed.
Mrs, McDonald declared that her
husband was beating her with his
fists and that she shot in self defense.
Charges of insanity were filed
against McDonald by his wife De
cember 20, 1323. He was committed
to the Clarinda insane hospital, ob
taining his release after a few months
on an appeal bond. Two months ago
he was committed to the St. Bernard
hospital by the Pottawattamie coun
ty insanity board, following his ap
peal case in Council IJluffs district
court.
He effected his release last Satur
day afternoon on a reappeal bond.
Saturday evening he is said to have
gone to the home of his wife and de
manded admittance. She is alleged
to have threatened to shoot him. Mc
Donald then swore out a warrant,
charging assault and battery. Mrs.
McDonald was arrested on the charge

appearance bond she swore out a
warrant charging McDonald with dis
orderly conduct. Their respective
cases were dismissed in municipal

Monday afternoon; he asked a re
straining order to prevent his wife
from disposing of family property.
Neighbors told police that they had
heard screams coming from the Mc
Donald home Tuesday morning. This,
police say. confirms Mrs. McDonald's
story that her husband was kicking
and beating her. Telephone wires at
the house had been cut. officers cay.
Arrangement was made Monday
night whereby McDonald was to oc
cupy a room in the home.
State Board
Rejects Plea
of Simmons
Refuses to Grant Rehearing
to Slayer of Pali!—Execu
tion Date Set for
June 18.
By Auoriatfd I'rewi.
Lincoln, June 10.—Another avenue
of escape from the electric chair was
cut off for Walter Hay Simmons to
day when the state board of pardons
ami paroles refused to grant hint a
rehearing to consider alleged new evi
dence. Governor Bryan set forward
the day Simmons is to he executed
for the murder of Krank Pahl until
June 18 because of failure of state
officers to summon the executioner
that was to snap on the current to
day.
Simmons received the news of this
defeat calmly.
'■While there's life there’s hope,” he
said. He seemed to show the strain
of numerous rebuffs from the courts
and state officials. In his cell were a
dozen roses, presented by "some
woman.”
The state board of pardons and
paroles took up his case today after
Governor Bryan had set forward the
original date of his execution. The
board had already considered the case
and when Simmons’ attorneys and
County Attorney Charles Matson ap
peared before them the board mem
bers questioned the defense attorneys
closely regarding the important of the
alleged new evidence. Josiah Coombs
and G. R. Mann, for Simmons, re
fused. however, to commit themselves
regarding the salient points in the
new evidence, urging only that the
board issue a reprieve until a legal
and public hearing of the affidavits
and other evidence might be had. This
could not have been sooner than a
month from now, under the law.
There followed a length of star ses
slon of the board. Loud talking and
argument could be heard in the peni
tentiary warden’s office, where this
session waa held.
Soon the governor announced that
lie had granted a reprieve to Simmons
until June 18 and that the attorneys
had agreed that the two rases now
appealed to the state supreme court
would be heard not later than June
17.
I'nder this derision, Simmons will
go to the ehair for the murder of the
Spencer garage man on June 18, un
less the supreme court Issues a writ
of habeas corpus on one of the ap
peals or unless they are able to find
recourse in some other court.

Action of French President to
Follow Defeat of “Suicide
Ministry” hy Both
Houses.
By F. BERTEI.IJ,
I nlivritill Service Staff lorrrNpondolt.
Paris, June 10.—President Mllle
rand's resignation will be handed to
the French parliament tomorrow, fol
lowing the defeat of the "sulfide
ministry" by both the chamber and
the senate. The vote will come on
the question of confidence in the new
government based on President Mille
rand's message explaining why he
refused to resign.
The president's message was read
in the chamber by the new premier,
M. Francois Marsal, and in the senate
by Minister of Justice M. Ratlor. The
document outlined the Ideas which
have guided the president's actions
since his inauguration and declared
that the same views will continue to
guide him In the future.
The president asked parliament to
respect the constitution and assume
Us proper responsibilities without
making the presidency of tlie republic
a plaything of political parties.
lie begged parliament not to begin
its session with a revolutionary act.
He suffered his first defeat when the
vote was taken in the senate on the
left bloc motion to adjourn, the vote
being 154 to 144, his enemies having
a majority of 10.
The chamber voted on the same
motion as the senate, to "adjourn
without discussing the message,”
carrying it by 329.
The preliminaries necessary to dis
pose of the president and the new
cabinet will probably take two pr
three days, but It Is probable that a
new president will be elected either
Friday or Saturday. There are two
candidates, Paul Palnleve of the radi
cal socialists, and Oaston Doumergue
of the opposition.
It Is more than likely that by the
middle of next week the new Herrlot
ministry will have been formed.

Cleveland, June 10.— In an atmos
phere of quiet deliberation, the re
publican party today l>egan here the
national convention that will nomin
ate Calvin Coolidge and pledge a re
consecration to the cherished funda
mentals of republicanism.
The question of the vice presiden
tial nomination alone remains unde
termined among the major issues of
the convention, but the move to draft
Frank O. Lowden appeared tonight
to be waning wdth a commensurate
gain of strength for Herbert Hoover.
The insistent supporters of the for
mer Illinois governor almost lost
hope when they heard that he had
sent to Cleveland a letter of irrevo
cable declination, to be opened and
read to the delegates if an attempt
were made to stampede the conaen
tion into nominating him.
Hoover of Right Type.
If Lowden is to be permitted to
eliminate himself, the Hoover sup
porters are convinced that the drift
of today's opening session gave evi
dence of an Inexorable demand that
the man finally selected for second
place on the ticket he of a type, un
deniably In harmony with the policies
of the president. That qualification,
they say. is possessed by Mr. Hoover
in the highest degree.
The short session today did no ac
tual work beyond ratifying a conven
tion program prepared in advance,
but by tonight all the committees, in
cluding that named to draft a plat
form, had completed most of thelf
work with ease and regularity.
Most of today's session was given
over to the keynote address by Thee
dnre Burton of Ohio, notable for Its
serious and dispassionate tenor and
its lack of forensic displav and built
around an appeal to the party to up
hold the hands of the man In the
White House.
little Confusion.
There was little of the usual con
fusion and none of the riotous noise
making that often has played so great
a part in America^ political history.
The greatest outburst. lasting but
a minute, took place when Mr. Bur
ton declared the country trusted Cal
vin Coolidge above congress and
pleaded for the election of senators
and representatives who would work
and vote within the party fold.
The convention came to Its feet
again when Secretary Mellon whose
tax plan was torn to tatters In a re
publican congress, arose to make a
routine motion relating to convention
organisation.
Again and for the last time today,
the great arched ceiling of the con
vention ball rumbled with a roll of
cheering when the presiding officer
led to the front of the platform Al
dtson G. Proctor of St. Joseph MIrh .
the lsst survivor of the delegates who
nominated Abraham Lincoln «4 years
ago.

Cleveland. June 10.—The formal
campaign for election of Calvin Cool
idge to succeed himself in the White
House slid off the political ways here
today when the 1924 republican na
tional convention met, heard the key
note address of its temporary chair
man, did a little necessary routine
business and adjourned to reconvene
tomorrow' morning.
The launching took place at Public
hall, the huge civic auditorium of the
city. Probably more than 12,000 per
sons witnessed the ceremonies, while
countless hundreds of thousand*
more heard by radio what was said.
There were only a few occasion*
when a chance came for the conven
tion to test its lung power. On# of
these was when Temporary Chairman
Theodore Burton trained his vocal
batteries against the insurgent group
within the party. He demanded that
only "tried and true republicans wfc»
will stand united" be elected to con
gress and the delegates clustered Just
below him roared approval. They
climbed to their feet and eyes all over
the hall centered on the Wisconsin
delegation, sitting fast amid the tu
mult.
I tin Swells.
From the gallery rail above. th»
blazing white lights of the movie ap
paratus flared up as the cameras be
gan clicking away to make a visual
record of the scene. The torrent of
dazzling light poured down on th*
heads of the Wisconsin men. Cries
of "stand up. stand up." rang on thw
floor and from the gallery an enthu
siast hurled down s single shout of
"put 'em out."
Chairman Burton paused as the din
swelled. Then h!s voice, multiplied
many times in the amplifiers cluster
ing high against the trched roof,
boomed on with the speech. On floor
snd In the galleries folks sank back
to their seats.
A little later Mr. Burton first
named Cabin Coolldce to the host
gathered up to heap honors upon
him. Again seats were vacated and
again the convention gave tongue in
shouts of approval. Again, also, the
Wisconsin delegation sat fast.
It wa« a hearty word of approval
the convention sent out to the leader
in Washington, but again Chairman
Burton pressed on with his carefully
framed address and the noise subsided
quickly.
Mellon Cheered.
At many point* In his remark#
there was applause for his declara
tions of party principles, but ther*
was only one other time today when
a wave of feeling swept the conven
tion into demonstration. That sti
when Mr. Burton called on "A W.
Mellon of Pennsylvania" to present a
routine resolution.
