certain winner. Coming in on the
final nine and requiring a So to
beat Barnes or a 81 to tie him,
Smith continued to play sloppily,
being three, over fours for his first
four holes.
1t was obvious that only miracle

miracle did not happen. He finished
the nine in 40, giving him 50 for
the afternoon trip-a total of 303 for
the tournament score.

 IS PUT ID DEATH
Leaves Note Protesting Inno-
 CenCe Of Murder

Lincoln, Neb., Aug. il Rt--wal- ter R. Simmons, former Montana cowboy and deputy sheritf. was electrocuted at the state prison to- day for the staying of Frank Pahl, Spencer, Neb., garage man.
 Simmons left a letter addressed to his son, Walter R. Simmons, Jr., saying he was leaving $500 in cur- rency to be used for his sans edu- cation. Tn q final statement he de- clared that he was innocent.
 Death in the electric chair ended an adventurous career of Simmons. who In his twenty-seven years was cowboy, baseball player. deputy sheriff and finally bootlegger.
 The body of Pahi was found in 8 shallow grave under bridge near Spencer on May IS, 1922. He was known to have carried $4so in cur rency when he left his garage.
 Several days later ranches re- ported a man had slept in his barn yard and had fled when awakened. leaving blood-spattered automo- bile. Through the machine Sim mons was traced to Norfolk, Neb.
 Returned to Spencer, Simmons was spirited away when mob action Was threatened. At the trial Mrs. Pahl testified that money carried by Simmons was the same as possessed by her husband. The defense con- tended that bootleggers with Sim mons had killed Pahl In an argu- ment over money.
 The verdict of guilty and death sentence resulted In q bitter legal fight to obtain commutation or re. prieve, More than a score of tenn. porary reprieves were granted, cov- ering a period Of three years.
 A new trial was denied. The board of pardons and paroles denied a pie for communication. Efforts were un. successful to obtain writ of habeas corpus In the federal courts. Once Governor Bryan granted reprieve A hours before the time set toI the electrocution.
 Then Simmons, with three others attempted to escape prison. After that he was put under constant death watch"
 Women's organizations circulated numerous petitions for commuta- tion More than forty Omaha wal mothers appeared before Governor McMulen.
 Simmons wife, now divorced, and 4 year old child, live at Ballentine Mont.
