There they stood before the death chair while the bald, middle aged professor wai brought In. Snook scratched hie jiose a he entered the door. His bald pate glistened under the brilllan overhead lights.

His lip were dry and he moistened them. No Lost Statement He made no laet statement and nothing was eald to him. He was garbed in blu hla own, with a white shirt and no tie. The shirt wae open at the throat. He eat down calmly and closed hie eyes.

Guard began adjusting the straps. Snook bowed hie head and one of the guards placed hie hand under his chin and brought it erect. Snook kept hla eyes closed a the black, leather death mask waa slipped over his face. Then the guards stood back. Deputy Warden J.

C. Woodard, officiating for Warden P. E. Thomas, who waa Hi, tapped a cane on the floor. A red light beamed over Snook'e head and the next instant volta of electricity tore through his body.

The body Jerked forward, but straps restrained it. The hands clinched, then the body relaxed with the fists still doubled. The current was turned off. Then another bolt, of lesser intensity, was sent through the body. A few seconds later, at 7:10, the prison physician pronounced him dead.

Five other doctors examined him before the decree waa announced. Snook was a mere shadow of the ruddy, smiling professor of veterinary medicine who waa arrested last summer after Theora'e body was found. The prison lights accentuated his eallow complexion. His arms and hands were thin and his pants were loose about his formerly ample waist. His hand were so emaciated that they appeared gnarled.

Mrs. Snook bade her husband a tearful farewell at 6:40 p. and was taken to the warden's office. She was near collapse. Rev.

Isaao Miller, her spiritual counsellor, remained with Snook and preceded him into the death chamber. As the current was turned on, Dr. Miller murmured: "God be with OPINION 'SNOOKS TOLD CeaUaued Iroa I'm Oa had aomethtng to do with the severity of tn ii auuuueu it was a grave nuntaK tor Aim tu nave toid mis story. letueU Hisgraoo "He tnen went at length Into the cnaracter of Mis iiix saying the had threatened to ex pose the whole aitair and ruin bun socially and professionally. this fear of dUgrace and lois oi position oauted hiw to make up hi mind to kill her.

irom that time on he planned to can; out this decision. The instrument of death the hammer and knife, Snook said, 'I aiwaya carried with lie made tne xinai decision to carry out hi plan to kill her when they met the night of the murder and the said she 'did nut want to go to the room, but pre ferred to drive out into the cuun- The opportunity had occur? red; he drove out to the rifle range and carried out his decision. "He admitted that the multlla-tion of the body was plunned to make the "crime look like the work of a fiend." I asked him, why war you not all wrought up and nervous after the 'It was such a relief to have it he answered and then added, 'you know one grow nervous over sudden impulses." He added he was surprised when he wo evon us-pected of the crime." It will take more than that for hlin to get In office again. I can't see why the Albuquerque Gas and Electrlo company doetn't reduce light and gas rates for awhile, anyway, to help them put their Baby Clyde In office again. Can It be that they have forsaken him? Wake up, Mr.

Prager, Are you asleep? Baby Clyde needs you, the only daddy he haa ever known. If you expect Baby Clyde to help you, you will have to at least put him In office again. I am afraid If Baby Clyde can't penuade bit master to reduce light and gut rate before the city election that poor Baby Clyde won't have any cow to furnish milk. As tha people will refuse to feed the city cow on ballot, so the can give milk for Baby Clyde to make a big man out ot him so ha can benefit hla papa, Arthur, ao Arthur and tha Itfcht company will have Baby Clyde to give thera whatever they want I was taught In school that two and two make four. I that right? Will someone be kind enough to furnish a cow for Baby Clyde In case he doesn't do what the light company wanta and they take the cow away.

Remember Baby Clyde has to have a nipple of tome kind So who will be kind enough to furnish one? If someone doesn't then poor Baby Clyde will cry. A TAXPAYER.

m. Lembke Is Builder The hangar, built by Edward Lembke Albuquerque, has a cleared floor space for planes 125 by 150 feet with a clearance of the F-22, the largest passenger carry ing plane now in the air In tht United States. On the west side of the hangar are arranged in convenient prox Imlty to the hangar proper, and a part of the building itself, a large stock room, employes room, an psneclallv eaulooed room for weather observation and the shops. A modern oll-burnlng heatlny plant, installed by the Strumqulst Engineering company, is in opera tion. This not only heats the entire hanKar.

but provides a hot air system to spread heat over the motor of the big ships when In the building. This heating system for the planes' motors Is of the most modern and efficient type, and Insures speed preparations for departures of the ships. An additional improvement Is getting under way in the way of an expanHlvo concrete apron approach to tho hangar. The New Mexico Clay Products company furnished brick and hollow tile for the new hangar, whll-all of the lumber was furnished through the White Pine Lumber company plant, recently reopened at Bernalillo. The hanpar was designed by the Ross Engineering company, Albuquerque.

According to the airport official, a special Fokker super-Universal will be flown to Albuquerque from Denver for the occasion, while the regular Mid-Continent super will be on the field with two of the company's regular F-10 twelve passenger tri-motored ship. The company headquarters In the city are located at the Franclcan hotel. PUBLIC HIGHWAY WORK O.N SUNDAY Albuquerque, Feb. 26. Please allow me a little space in "Public Opinion" as 1 desire to write a little on above subject.

An article signed: Neil Ferguson, appearing In this Sunday morning Issue (16th) objects to work being done on the' Laguna cut-off on Sunday, and states "We have a law against unnecessary work on Sunday" and yet it is violated by state employes. Mr. Ferguson, you say that as a loyal citizen and a tax payer whose taxes are thus expended In violation of the law, you strenuously object and then you auk the question: "Am I alone in this mntterT Of course you are pot there are plenty that think as you do, but do not be Impatient a I think there Is a "shake-up" coming. We are to have some lively times this year. We ha'e already started and after the assessments by the new law are finished we will have the dnta necessary a to know what the state will need to be run with economy and lessen the tax burden on tha taxpayer, but leaving out the tsxe matter for awhile, where Is the necessity of our road bosses compelling their employe to work on a road on Sunday? I will ventilate my views about It, hut will not sign my name (whleh I value) because I am of the (small fish variety) been a N'ow Mexico citizen many year, paid tax every year, had to scrape to do it.

always voted same ticket; I mix it slightly sometime to make it better and I think may change it entirely soon for something new that Is lnomlnsr up in the west with Its hend In Arkan-sns appearing In the press dully. As the Ink in my pen 1 not yet dry I read of another official shortage in Quay county, first his deputy "sent up" now the pen yawns for him. There seems (o be something out of gear with our stnte end county government. We should not expect perfection with our state or county officers, they are human and probably do the best they can. do not believe In habitual fault finding, end the condition of a community will be reflected by the way the ppople composing same will do.

We urn not afford to get away from politics or leave them to the professionals a if we do we too are liable to get In the sim condition financially a Chlcapo, and have the commissioners go to the merchnnt tf asv for credit of groceries for the city employee Jo be paid (the bills) by the future taxes when they come In, nd the Btathd to borrow from another fund to pay their employes. Maybe the cause of all this I going too fast, I but anyway, what Is the hurry about work on the Laguna cut off 1 Our governor hi decided to let the Santa Rosa cut-off rest a while until other adjacent roads are improved, and both cut-off are practically In same relation to form a "bee-line" from east to west through thl city, and now our driving road bosses on a Saturday afternoon say to the tired men: "Come tomorrow" or "ben or blene manana." What right do they have to do that? when It Is against the law to hurry the work? Well a Mr. Ferguson say I don't car to travel on road that was Illegally made, and I will say that I work on Sunday, but I will sy how I do so. I try to keep moving all day, get up a little later than other days and nso to bed later than other days I feed everything that expects me to feed by me, clean myself and clean everything around me. I eometlnus visit sick people.

I go riding because my folks want me to. I do tome outdoor light work that keeps me In the sunshine awhile and gives exercise, and maybe do some things soma times that may not be in keeping- with the Sabbath, but as I said before, "We are all human. But It Is tnother thing for boeee to try to be "Czars" and compel their men to come to work cn a dny that belongs to the workman and he knows If he refuses he will get "the bounce."

28 I would like to aak the people of AiDuquerque a question. What do we city taxpayer pay our taxes for? We pay them for the benefit and mkeep of the city, Then we taxpayer are denied the right to vote. have nothing say on such a thing as a natural gas tranches; something of vital Importance to Albuquerque; something that will benefit every one: something that will build Albuquerque; something that every taxpayer is Interested In: tomething that will give BOO idle men employment. Mr. Tlngley, heavy on the has hoen pushing the construction of the federal building to give men out of work, employment.

Bo, oh tell me, please tell me, why he Is so opposed to natural gas and employment for Idle men. Can It be that naby Clyde Is afraid of los ing his nipple? Is he afraid that the Albuquer que Gas and Electric company will take their cow away? If he keep on trying to milk the city cow, she might go dry. then poor Clyde would lose hi nipple after all. Clyde has reduced water rates but the We Congratulate you." It was the 103rd execution un der Thomas' regime. He and hla wife sought to console Mrs.

Snook and it was said she might spend the night there. A physician was called to administer to her. The Last Meal Mrs. Thomas prepared Snook' last meal to which he sat down with his wife, Dr. Miller and Rev.
