MILL t Staff Writer, The Stat maa With the execution of two con victed murderers . comp eted Fri day, prison officials looked to the next execution in the ; lethal . gas chanber scheduled for Jan. 16. Slated to lie for the murder of his wife is Thomas S. Bouse, 51, Roseburg, who was -ceived at the penitentiary last Dec 8. However, Deputy Warden Lawrence O'Brien advised Friday that Bouse has filed an appeal for a new trial and it was believed bis execution might be delayed. Next to die in the gas chamber Is Albert William Karnes on Jan. 30. He was convicted of the. axe- slaying of Mrs. Susan Litchfield in Salem. But while plans are being laid for another execution, there are murmurs that prison officials may have profited from the over crowded conditions which prevailed at the last two. An aura of a Ro man Coliseum, B.C., : was one guard's description of i the wit nesses attitude. There I was even a time during the first execution that the crowd had to be asked by Father William McClory, Catholic priest attending Morris Leland, to "stop all the laughing and talking." Leland was executed for murder ing a Portland girl. He was pro nounced dead at 12:33 a.m. Areola Smith Succumbs to Heart Ailment Areola Russell Smith, 62, of 4185 Garden Rd., Salem, a resident of Salem for the past 26 years, died of a heart attack at his home Thursday. He was born in Osakis, Minn., April 28, 1890 and was a carpenter and farmer all of his life. Smith lived in Canada a few years and came to Oregon from Washington. He was in good health until two days before his death. Survivors include his widow, Mrs. Hilda B.

While apathy seemed to prevail with the crowd ia general, this feeling was not shared by a small group of guards, newsmen, the prison doctor and t chaplain who huddled in the chill of the death cell trying t revive Frank Oliver Payne so he could walk to the gas chamber under his own power. The 52-year-old convictet - murd -er who had procured iand taken an overdose of sleeping t tablets and tried to cheat the state o its death "according, to law," chattered in the chill of the concrete cellblock as the Rev. Glen W. Sachs, Protes tant minister, tried to talk with him. . ..; Alternately falling Into a deep sleep and rarely realizing mom ents of recognition, Payne clutched a prison bl-nket over his bent shoulders as officials readied him and the gas chamber for their ren dezvous. Payne, who murdered a Portland grocer, never totally re gained consciousness. He was car ried in a stupor from the death cell, down a board pathway laid amidst the confusion of construction in the prison yard, 100-yards through a deluge of rain and placed in the gas chamber at 1:50 a.m. Friday. He slouched there: with a black mask shrouding his eyes and was, to all outward appearances, un conscious. Frank Payne looked a very old man there as he sat strapped In the steel chair with death only a f?w minutes away. The gas started rising to his nos trils at 1:52 a.m. and, with pro gressively faltering breath the only violent outward appearance of his agony, he died at 2:12 a.m. Payne's body " was claimed by the Rev. Lloyd Burk, Oakland, Calif., a long-time friend. Leland's body was to be shipped to Portland for services. Block of Dimes Feature Slated by Silverton Jaycees!
