Simmons, Chicago Murderer
and Gangster, Escapes
Prison Again.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
WOODSTOCK, ILL.,, July 16.-James
Fur" Sammons, murderer, gangster
and public enemy" of Chicago, has
beaten prison once more.
Circuit Judge Edward D. Shurtleff
virtually overruled the State Supreme
Court today in setting free from Joliet
Penitentiary the desperate who was
doomed to hang a generation ago.
Waving aside the prisoners reputa-
tion as killer, robber and hoodlum,
Judge Shurtleff ruled that Sammons'
fortnight release by the State Board
of Pardons and Paroles in 1926 was
final and irrevocable and that the
Supreme Court did not have the record
of this action before it when the high
court approved his recommitment TO
prison two years ago.
Known as bad Man"
Sammons was one of the bad men"
Chicago determined to evict in the anti
gangster furore that reached its climax
in the 1880 election campaign. While
the Government was attacking the
Capone hierarchy on the income tax
and Mann act front, and Municipal
Judge John H. Lyle was campaigning
for mayor with barrage of vagrancy
warrants against the % foremost
public enemies" the State looked over
its records and found Fur Sammons
a public peril that might be suppressed
in another way.
He had been sentenced to death in
1903 for the murder Of saloonkeeper.
Gov. Richard Yates commuted the
penalty to life Imprisonment. which
Gov. Len Small shortened in 1923 to a
50-year term, making possible his re-
lease on parole a month later. Then

HAMILTON, Bermuda, September 23
"A new deep-sea diving mark of nearly
q half mile was added to the world S
records today.
Dr.. William Beebe, New York Scien-
tist. and Otis Barton, inventor of the
'bathysphere," a newly devised diving
apparatus, descended 1900 feet below
the surface of the Atlantic here yester-
day and broadcast their impressions
over the radio from the depths.
The 1900 feet was several hundred
feet farther down than DR.. Beebe, noted
as a deep-sea explorer, had ever been.
The "bathysphere" protected them from
a pressure of 4,800 tons, enough to have
flattened both of them If the apparatus
had failed.
The experiment was made seven miles
off Nonsuch Island, Bermuda, from the
tug Freedom, which rode in glorious
sunshine atop a heavy ocean swell. The
"bathysphere" was lowered over the side
and Gloria Hollister, colleague OF DR.
Beebe. took the microphone until he
himself could be cut in.
DR.. Beebe hoped to reach 5000 feet
but was prevented from doing SO by
leakage of the sea water in Stufhne
box through which the electric light
cables entered the diving apparatus.
