SNOOK PAYS WITH LIFE FOR COEDMURDER Slayer of Theora Hix Goes to Electric Chair With Firm Step. CALM AT LAST MEAL Wife Collapses as Former Professor Is Put to Death for Crime. BULLETIN ffv United Press COLUMBUS, 0., March 1. The body of Dr. James Howard Snook, who was electrocuted In the state penitentiary Friday night for the murder of Theora Hix. his Illicit sweetheart, was buried secretly in Greenlawn cemetery at dawn today. BY HARRY WILSON SHARPE Cnitrd Prews Staff Correspondent COLUMBUS, 0.. March I.—Dr. James Howard Snook was host at a dinner Friday night to his wife and three guests in a steel-studded cell, lighted by a single, dim electric light. Two hours later, after his hysterical wife virtually had been carried from his cell, following their farewell, he walked through the cell door into an adjoiningk room and paid with his life for the* murder of his Illicit sweetheart, Theora Hix. Ohio State university student. Snook was only a shadow of the stoical, rugged and sun-tanned professor of veterinary medicine, as he sat down in the electric chair. Guards adjusted the straps, a black death mask was drawn and the current was sent through his body at 7:10 p. m. Four minutes later physicians pronounced him dead and his body was removed. Suit 111 Fitting He was brought, into the death chamber in an ill-fitting suit, one of his own. The pants gapped at the waist, and the coat hung wrinkled and loose from his gaunt shoulders. Two guards supported him on either side, though he walked with firm, but confused, tread. It was his first view of the place of his death. He sat down in the chair and closed his eyes. Guards quickly adjusted the clamps. KLs eyelids flickered, but remained closed. A guard grasped his chin to adjust the head electrode. He moistened his lips and the next instant the black, leather death mask was dropped and the current was tearing his through his body. Snooks dry lips remained mute and his requiem was the heavy breathing of tense witnesses and four words murmured by a minister: “God be with you.” The minister, the Rev. Isaac Miller. Mrs. Snooks spiritual counselor, said Snook “made peace with his God” before he was brought into the death room. No Restraint at Meal Five persons. Mrs. Snook, Mr. Miller, the Rev. K. H. Wall, prison chaplain: Oscar Roedell of Pomeroy, a classmate of Snook's at college, and Mrs. Frank Landrum. Mrs. Snook's cousin, sat down with Snook for his last meal. •‘There was no restraint,” Mr. Miller said. “We might all have been at a picnic.” The meal, a chicken dinner, was prepared by Warden Freston Thoms' wife. Mrs. Snook, weeping unrestrainedly. was left alone with her husband as his last moments of life ebbed away. He did not get to see their 3-year-old baby girl, who was bom about the time the professor met Theora. After their last farewell, Mrs Snook was taken to the warden’s office where she collapsed, and Mr. Miller re-entered the tiny cubicle to remain with him until his death. Lights Flicker Outside, twenty paces from the death house, in a prison shop, squads of convicts clustered at windows. laughing and tossing quips at timid newspaper men who remained in the open death house door. They fell silent as the prison lights suddenly flickered. Snook had been put to death. Snook was convicted on Aug. 14, the jury deliberating only twentyeight minutes and was sentenced to die on Nov. 29. Snook’s conviction was appealed successfully to high Ohio courts and finally to the United States supreme court without avail. His last appeal, to Governor Myers Y. Cooper, met a similar late.

TAFT’S BATTLE FOR LIFE NEAR CLIMAX

Bu Times Special WASHINGTON, March 1.— William Howard Taft continued to grow weaker today and it was believed his fight for life was nearing its end. Taft slept undisturbed through the night and no change was apparent in his condition, attendants at the home said this morning. He still was in a semi-conscious condition, his nurse said. His physicians. Dr. Francis Hagner and Thomas Claytor, paid their last visit to the bedside at 11:30 p. m., and said that there had been no change in the patient’s condition during the evening, Taft was sleeping quietly at that time. It was understood, however, that the former President was able to take but little nourishment and, hence, unable to maintain the strength that enabled him to resist

CRAZED KILLER BLOWN TO BITS IN HOME SIEGE Volunteers Rescue Body of Slain Wife, Set Off Dynamite Charge. SOLDIERS SHELL ‘FORT' Maniac Stands Off Force of Guardsmen, Police, Wounding Three. By United Press DEFINANCE, O., March 1.—The horrors of real warfare were impressed indelibly today on the minds of Defiance citizens as a result of a battle in which a national guard company, the police force and twenty volunteer sharpshooters were arrayed against a crazed man. Before the war clouds had been dissipated, two persons lay dead and three wounded, one critically. The peace-time atmosphere of this city was shattered Friday when Hubert Floehr, 60, a powerful, heavy-set plasterer and concrete contractor, became enraged after an argument over his daughter Elsie, a Petersburg, W. Va., school teacher, and killed his wife. Floehr barricaded himself in his home and for five hours maintained his position in the face of shelling by a 37-millimetre field piece, tear gas bombing and small arms fire. The siege was not lifted until Floehr was blown to pieces by a dynamite charge which demolished his home. Student Wounded But before he died he had succeeded in wounding Newel Littlefield, 32, of Newport, Me., senior at Defiance college; William Chapel, a Toledo salesman and Chief of Palice Karl Waener. Littlefield’s condition was critical, a bullet from the sniping Floehr’s gun piercing his chest. The other two were wounded less seriously. Floehr formerly was an inmate of the Toledo State Hospital for the Insane. He escaped several months ago. Then came Friday’s bitter quarrel. His mind snapped back from its temporary sanity and in a murderous rage he seized a pistol and shot his wife. A son, William, 32, was in the basement when he heard the shot. He came upstairs and saw his mother’s body on the floor. As he tried to lift her to a chair, Floehr fired at him. William dashed out of the house, a second shot missing him. Police Deployed The entire police force arrived. Police scattered around the house and volunteers were called. Inside, the insane man had gathered a heavy rifle, a shotgun and several boxes of ammunition for his last stand. Determined to end the fight, police decided to dynamite the house. But first there was the problem of removing the dead body of Floehr’s wife. Two men volunteered to remove it and set off the blast. The volunteers waited until Floehr was in an upstairs room and then slipped into the house. One carried the body out while the other set off the dynamite. The blast shook the neighborhood and Floehr’s mangled body was blown through the roof.

death so surprisingly during the last two days Unless he rallies enough to take more nourishment, which his physicians consider improbable, it is likely his waning strength will speed his end. His son, Robert A. Taft, of Cincinnati, arrived at the home Friday and was recognized by his father. A smile was his only greeting, however, as the former chief justice was too weak to speak. A long line of friends of Taft, including statesmen, diplomats, social leaders, government officials and former associates on the supreme court bench, visited his home Friday, paying their respects to Mrs. Taft. Every precaution was continued to keep the vicinity as quiet and free from the curious as possible.

More than 300 fine pigeons died in flames which destroyed a pigeon house owned by Wesley A. Rhodehamel of 5537 Broadway, Friday night. Origin of the fire is unknown. Damage to the pigeon house totaled $800 and the pigeons burned were valued in excess of $1,000. State fire marshal’s office will investigate immediately the fire of unknown origin which caused $500 damage early today to a vacant house at 1305 Calhoun street and $10 damage to the adjoining home of Mrs. T.

BULLETIN Southport advanced to the semi-finals today by beating Lawrence, 20 to 18. BY DICK MILLER A brilliant rally by the Manual Training basketball team carried the red and white to a 15-to-14 victory over Shortridge today in the first second round contest of the Indianapolis sectional tournament, in progress at the Technical gym. Led by Nate Regenstrief, the south siders swept into the semi-finals by virtue of their thrilling victory. A large crowd, filling both sides of the gym, was on hand to witness the opening b a ttle between the two city rivals. From the opening whistle, it was apparent the game was going to be fast and rough. The teams rushed down the floor at a terrific clip in the first five minutes, neither scoring. Manual then went into the lead when Berns fouled Hanna, who made good a free throw. Bulleit tied the count with a foul toss, and followed up by crashing down the floor to snag a two-pointer.

Manual called time after ten minutes of play. Bulleit came out of a scramble under the basket and added another field goal. Regenstrief dropped one in from center and the I count stood at 5 to 3. Case duplicated with a long goal for Shortrldge, and on the next play missed two free throw attempts. Stuart also failed from the foul stripe when fouled by Bulleit. The half ended with Shortrldge in front, 7 to 3. Heckman fouled Regenstrief, and the latter made good the toss. Case looped in an overhand shot, and Shortridge led, 9 to 4. Manual flooded the basket, but was unsuccessful until Stuart batted one In. Manual Misses Many Bulleit dribbled to the foul circle and dropped through a short shot. Manual continued to miss many shots. Cosma and Hoggs entered the Manual line-up for Armour and Stewart and Shuttleworth relieved Heckman for Shortridge. The north siders apparently were content to stop the Manual offensive drives, taking few shots. Regenstrief potted a long effort from center, cutting | Shortridge’s lead to 11 to 8. The game almost had become an individual battle between Regenstrief, the sharpshooting Manual star, and Bulleit. Hanna sneaked around McCullough j and dropped in a field goal and Shortridge called for time, the score j standing at 11 to 10, with five min- I utes to play. Ona pass from out of bounds McCullough took the ball under the j hoop for two points. Hanna brought j the score to 13 to 11, when he scored ! on Shuttleworth’s foul. Case scored ! a point on Higgs’ foul. Regenstrief came back by adding a point on McCullough’s foul. Hanna faked and shot a long pass to Regenstrief, who scored j from under the hoop, knotting the count at 14-all, with three minutes to play. Regenstrief broke the tie with a charity toss, with one minute and forty seconds to play. Heckman returned to the Shortridge lineup and Manual called for time. Fans in Frenzy Manual grabbed the tip and started to stall in back court. Higgs

The Cardinal lineup was shifted, with the idea of saving Waddell, stellar center, for the semi-final tilt with Manual this afternoon. Waddell opened the first period with a nifty under the basket toss, giving Southport a lead which I they held through the period. During the fifteen minutes of play, Waddell, Anderson and Spiecer snagged a pair of two-pointers each. Houston, Lawrence back guard, hit from the field, and then added a free throw. Smith made good on a charity toss, and Herman cut the Cardinals’ advantage to 12 to 7 at the half with a long heave. Southport apparently was not extended, and conserved as much as possible for the contemuplated semi-final tilt this afternoon. Waddell opened the second period by dashing under the hoop for a field goal. He was fouled, but missed both attempts. Spiecer and Herman each registered one point on a double foul. Garrison, Law- * rence sub, looped in a long one, and the count was Southport 15, LawTence 10. Lawrence Braces Anderson took a pass under the basket and was wide open for two points. Garrison added two more from the charity line, and then added another goal from the side. Waddell brought Southport’s lead back to 18 to 14 with a close-in effort. Phillips missed two attempts when Blankenship foulqi him. Sc h mallfeldt, Campbell and Maxfleld entered the Southport lineup, giving it a ' regular” complexion. Lawrence defense was becoming too strong for the shifted lineup which had played mostof the game. Houston garnered two points from deep center and Southport called for time.
