N. S. Sichterman will preach his farewell sermon as pastor of the Presbyterian church here Sunday before going to Indianapolis, where he wilt

¶ William Ray, alias William Hart, colored, sentenced to die in the electric chair for the murder of Martha Huff, age fourteen, on Monday of last week, was taken to the State Prison at Michigan City today, to await the date of execution,

August 5.

¶ Ray was taken from the jail to the Union Station at 7:30 a. m. today and was placed on board a train, bound for the prison. He was accompanied by Robert F. Miller, sheriff, and Detectives Mullin, Trabue, Dugan and Lieutenant

Schubert.

¶ A verdict pronouncing the negro guilty of murder in the first degree and fixing his punishment at death in the electric chair, was returned by the jury in criminal court that heard Ray’s case Tuesday afternoon at 6 o'clock. twenty minutes after the jury had retired. When the jury filed into the box Judge James A. Collins inquired whether they had agreed on

a verdict.

¶ "We have, your honor.” said William A. Holler foreman of the jury.

Ray Makes a Plea.

¶ As the verdict was read Ray did not flinch, but beads of perspiration

stood forth on his forehead.

¶ He was called before Judge Collins and asked whether there was any reason why he should not be sentenced in accordance with the jury's

verdict.

¶ "Yes. 1 want to say something.” the negro said. "I want to put myself on the mercy of the court. I didn't intend to kill the girl. Something came in my mind that I could not control, and I could not keep from killing her. When I took her with me I did not mean to kill her. I don't think I should suffer the death penalty, because I didn't in-

tend to murder her."

¶ Judge Collins informed Ray that his statement was not in the nature of any legal explanation why sentence should not be pronounced. He then directed that Ray be delivered to the custody of the sheriff for delivery to Michigan City and directed that the warden of the State Prison, on the morning of August 5, cause the death of Ray by sending through his body electrical currents sufficient to cause death. The law provides that a period of 100 days shall elapse between conviction and execution. ¶ Ray said nothing as sentence was pronounced. He was led from the courtroom and taken to the jail.

Speediest of Trials.

¶ The trial of Ray. terminating in the death sentence, was one of the speediest in the history of the criminal court. The prosecution was directed by Claris Adams, prosecuting attorney, who was assisted by William R. Evans, his chief deputy. Ray was defended by Frank A Symmes, county attorney for the poor. In a brief closing argument in the case, made by Symmes at the request of the defendant, the attorney asked the jurors to perform their duty as they saw it. He reminded them that the responsibility rested with them,. and said the question of whether they had done the right thing would

be on their minds always. He re- ║ Evidence that a woman, believed to minded the jurors that they were un- ║have been Carrie T.

uncertain manner that we as organised coal merchants do not condone or tolerate Speculative coal prices on the part of the operator and wholesaler, or profiteering on the part of the retailer. There Is more than one way of being a profiteer.

Concerning actual profits, Mr. Gordon said that higher margins than thobe taken two years ago are reasonable, but urged that any profit rules should be made flexible. "Retail coal merchants generally did not Increase their margins during 1919.” he said, “but In some cases decreased their margins, and In others, where margins were increased, they did not keep pace with the increase in cost, and profits in many instances decreased or even disappeared. The retailer. therefore, in the beginning of a new year, facing additional wage increases In nearly all parts of the country, has been obliged to increase his margin.
