CARDS STACKED, SAYS WRAY ShsIbyviUa Lawysr Expresses His Sentiments Toward the Governor. rSp«cial to The Indianapolis New*] 8HELBYV1LLE, Ind.. March 31.-Fol-lowing the excuse and statement of Governor Samuel Ralston In falling to appoint any person to the bench of the appellate court, to succeed Judge Joseph M, Shea, who has been named as ambaasnrtor from the United States to Chile. Albert P. Wray and hia friende in this city have been freely expressing their sentiments toward the Governor. Mr. Wray sought the appointment to the bench, but la now certain that the cards are stacked against him. "The excuse of the Governor for delaying the appointment is a very fliimey affair," stated Mr. Wray yesterday. "Since the appointment of Joseph H. Shea as ambassador to Chile the seat on the appellate court bench has been automatically vacant, as I understand it. and as my friends here understand the matter." Continuing, Mr. Wray said he believed that Edwin M. Corr, of Bloomington, had been elated by the Democratic machine for the nomination as appellate judg*, and that he would, therefore, receive the appointment from the Governor. Mr. Wray bases hia belief on the fact that Mr, Corr has been appointed legal adviser to the state inheritance tax investigator, for four years at W.OOO a year, and that he has not yet accepted the position. If the delegatee to the state convention from Shelby county do not remain away, they certalr ly ought to do eo. to admlniater a rebuke to Governor Ralston." said Mr. Wray, who has given up all hope of getting the apri.ntmcnt or •f being considered for U:;, place.
