FATHER 15 EXECUTED, PROTESTS INNOCENCE Wallace C. Gaines of Seat- tle Hanged for Murder- of His Daughter Walla Walla, Wash., Aug. 31 (P— Wallace C. Gaines was hanged at dawn today in the state penitentiary here for the murder of his 22-year old daughter, Sylvia, in Seattle two years ago. Gaines went to his death protest- tng his innocence and unforgiving toward those who had prosecuted him. He walked unaided to the gallows. Frank Novak, prison evangelist, who was closeted with Gaines for nine hours before the hanging. said he would make a statement as soon as he had recovered from the or- deal, In a final statement, made public by his wife, Gaines concluded: “I do not forgive the friends who are the cause of taking an innocent man's life, and know that they will be made to suffer for the unjust punishment they have inflicted upon my family. They will pay dearly for this outrage on earth and in the hereafter, for their sins will find them out.” The murder of Miss Gaines, 2 graduate of Smith college and daughter of Gaines by his first wife, now Mrs. L. E. Maynard of Lyin- field, Mass., occurred on the night of June 16, 1926, The girl disappeared from her home about § o'clock that night and the next day, her mutilated body was found on/ the shore of Grecn lake. Testimony was,offered at Gaines’ trial that his daughter had been the object of his “strange, unnatural affections” and that when she at- tempted to break the relationship, he killed her wlile he was drunk. Gaines' present wife testified there was nothing unnatural in his affec- | tion for the girl Gaines offered as an alibi testl- mony that he was with Mr. and Mrs. Louis Sterns, friends, at the time of the slaying. The Sterns corroborated his story. After Gaines' conviction, there followed two years of legal maneu- from the gal- lows. These nfbves included an ap- veal to the United States supreme eourt and petitions for clemency to Governor R. H. Hartley. the | Senatof Joseph | Wounded—Cars Set On Fire After Robbery.
