Murderers Get Life Term.

Marion, June 13.—William Orville Allison and Ralph Broom were sentenced to serve the remainder of their lives in the state’s prison at Michigan City for the murder of Wade Robinson at Landess on the night of December 28 last. The men were masked when they entered Robinson’s store and attempted to rob him. The storekeeper resisted the robbers and they shot him to death, the bullet from Broom’s gun being effective. Allison and Broom were arrested in North Dakota and returned here by Sheriff Tony George.
