STATE PRISON. WALLA
WALLA, Wash. Aug. 81 Wallace
q. Gaines. world War veteran and
member Of prominent Seattle
family, went to his death on the
gallows here today for the murder
Of his daughter Sylvia. whose bat
tered body was found on the shores
oe Lake Union. Seattle. two years
ago
The black cap was slipped over
Gaines head at 4:07 ta. m. today,
and an instant later his body shot
through the trap The prison ply
stefan pronounced him dead eight
minutes later.
Sorry For Drinking
The only statement Gaines made
was:
4, am sorry / was drinking on
that night.
He told this TO the minister. who
accompanied him to the scaffold.
This was interpreted to mean on
the night the murder was COM
mitted. Gaines walked to the gal
lows calmly. after q fight OF two
years to escape death.
With her head crushed in, the body
or Sylvia Gaines. q graduate of Smith
College, was found by workmen on
the shores OF Lake Union. Numer-
GUS suspects were arrested, only to
prove their innocence. Finally her
father was charged with the crime.
Maintained Innocence
His conviction was largely due TO
the testimony of Louis Stern,
neighbor. who said that Gaines con
fessed rhe crime to him. Gaines.
however. denied the confession He
was also charged with having un-
natural relations with his daughter.
This he denied also.
Sylvia had been in Seattle but
few months before she was muir
dered. She had come TO Seattle to
visit her father from Massachusetts,,
where she had been living with her
mother, from whom Gaines was di-
vorced.
Gaines was sent to death only
after a prolonged legal fight. His
brother. William Gaines prominent
in Washington politics, led the battle
to save his brothers life. Gaines
second wife was confident that Gov
ernor Hartley would grant her hus.
band reprieve.
