Sheriff's 50 day contempt sentence set in Nevada feud
BATTLE MOUNTAIN Nev UP That long simmering Lander County feud flared as Sheriff John L Hammond received 50 days for contempt of court. Hammond will serve at the home of Constable George Bonner in Austin after authorities ruled jail time could not be served in county confinement. Le Maire had fined Hammond 100 dollars, later converted to 2 dollars a day, amid a feud over Battle Mountain seeking to move the county seat from Austin.

Gunman Executed After Four Years on Death Row
Carl Austin DeWolf a 37 year old Massachusetts gunman died in the electric chair in McAlester Oklahoma after four years on death row. He denied killing Tulsa policeman Jerry St Clair after a hijacking and gun battle on August 30 1946. He maintained witnesses failed to prove his guilt and claimed a fair trial was denied. The State Pardon Board rejected multiple stays and Governor Johnston Murray offered one last chance before execution. The board’s unanimous vote ended the bid for clemency as DeWolf faced execution.
