One of the for reasons writer's taking pseudonyms is that
magazine editors don't like to have two works in a monthly
edition by the same author.
'Execution' is the title story of a collection published in
1973 under Westlake's name. To my knowledge he has openly
acknowledged all his mystery and sf pseudonyms except Samuel
Holt. The story/short novel, __Anarchaos__, first appeared
under the pseudonym Curt Clark, but it later was in the
collection of his sf , __Tomorrow's Crimes__.
Like other writers he wrote 'adult' books under pseudonyms
when he started. In one he supposedly collaborated with
Lawrence Block. Sometime this year someone, I think Mark
Sullivan, listed all his known pseudonyms. You should be able
to find this in the archives. There is also a Westlake web
page that goes into this at <http://www.netcomuk.co.uk/~rjbrown/index.htm>
