CONDEMNED MAN IS REPRIEVED Robert Shaw’s Execution Delayed Over Technicality Michigan City, Ind., June 24.— (U.R> -At 11:10 p. m. CST., last; night, Robert Shaw, 27, a British subject, sat in his cell at the state i penitentiary, prepared to die in 51 minutes for the murder of an i Indiana deputy sheriff. He had eaten his last tneal. The | dead-haember crew had prepared, the electric chair. A physician and minister chatted In a hallway, waiting for the signal to start their! march to the death room. Nearby, in his office, Warden Al-1 fred Dowd was checking over' Shaw's commitment papers. He' turned a page and read a para-! graph which said in lengthy legal! phraseology that Shaw had pleaded guilty in LaGrange county circuit court to the murder of Deputy Sheriff .Harry E. Spice, shot to death when he attempted to question Shaw about a robbery. Shaw was sentenced to die after a brief court hearing, without benefit of I a jury. Dowd read the paragraph again, recalling that in 1919, while he| was warden at the state reform-j atory, Thomas and Albert Bachelor, brothers, had been sentenced to die under the same proceedings —but had been reprieved because of a technicality. Thomas Bachelor since has l>een paroled while his brother is still in prison. At 11:13 Dowd got out a copy of the Indiana statutes and. as the seconds ticked away, hurriedly glanced through the pages. Finally he found a section which said: "Under the prior law in capital cases, a jury must have been called to assess punishment on a plea of guilty.' At 11:25, Dowd put through an emergency telephone call to Judge Clyde Carlin, who had pronounced sentence. He confirmed that Shaw had not had a jury trial. Four minutes later, at 11:29, Dowd was talking to Gov. M. Clifford Townsend. After he had ex- ’ plained the case, Townsend grant-1 ed a stay until Tuesday, pending a study of the technicality by the | attorney general. Twenty-seven minutes before the I scheduled execution, Shaw was seated on At bunk in a death cell. Deputy Warden L. C. Schmuhl stepped up to. the door and told him he had been granted a stay. Shaw didn't move. He said nothing. Schmuhl said he believed Shaw was speechless. At first Shaw would not believe his life hand been spared. After he finally was convinced, he rolled over into bed and slept soundly until 7 a. m. today. Schmuhl visited him again today and although the doomed man was not talkative, he said he was happy to have been granted a reprieve for it may enable him to hear from brothers and sisters in England. He has had no communication with any of his relaatives and doesn't know whether they have learned of his predicament. Prison officials have not informed him of the reason for the reprieve pending receipt of official word from state authorities in Indianapolis. “I am sorry the reprieve was not longer,” Shaw said. "1 still may not have time to hear from my folks before Monday night.” While awaiting the execution time last night. Shaw talked about his life with Robert Hall, prison chaplain. The prisoner left England it: 1923, when he was 14 years old, and came to Canada. There he was placed in an orphanage for severaL years. In 1931 he entered the United States and had wandered about the country until he was arrested for the Spice shooting. Spice was shot to death last; Dec. 3 as he and a posse of officers closed in on a farmhouse where Shaw bad, taken refuge. Shaw was suspected of shooting Earl Eulitt, a Kendallville grocery clerk, during a holdup Dec, 2, and the posse had been trailing him all day. As Spice came to the front door, I Shaw poked his gun through a j window and fired point-blank at the officer. Spice fell to the ground and Shaw fled out the back door. Other officers saw him attempting to escape and shot him down. Shaw still walks with a slight limp from his wounds. “I did it in self-defense because j the officer would have shot me. if I hadn't shot him,” Shaw said. Judge Carlin then asked Shaw if he wanted to plead “not guilty. After a moment's hesitation, Shaw replied: i "No, I plead guilty to the charge , of murder.” He then was taken to the state , prison at Michigan City and placed in the prison hospital for treatment of his wounds until he was well enough to be transferred to death row. Shaw's case never was appealed to the Indiana supreme court.
