DEATH PENALTY ASKED BY PROSECUTOR SELLER
In petitioning Judge Henry C. Fox of the Wayne circuit court to sentence Ell S. Carr. murdered of Policemen Little and Stephenson, to death in the electric chair at the Indiana state prison. Prosecutor Reller spoke as follows: Mr. Reller: Your honor, there has been a great deal in the newspapers and there has been much talk concerning this crime, and in substance the newspapers have printed the facts accurately, but if the court cares to hear, I will be very glad to give a brief summary of the facts that were brought to the grand jury. Court Has the Facts. The Court: Oh, I think I have sufficient facts. We will put that In writing and forward it to the board; include it with the commitment. Mr. Reller: On behalf of the state, your honor, although usually I ant not In favor of capital punishment, still, I think this is the most aggravates case that has come to my attention or to the court's attention during my term of office. There has not been a case that has been tried here that I have selected a jury with the idea of imposing the death penalty, but in this instance and there has always been a very close connection between the prose
cutor s office and the court, and 1 don't believe I have ever advised the court incorrectly on the matter but in this instance I feel that the death penalty should be inflicted. Pleads On Cold Facts. I feel, your honor, this way: That here is a crime, not on account of
He has been there a matter of fifteen years, and there Is no Question but what, if this man goes there, In a few months' time he will be given privileges. He will be treated almost as a trusty, and to him it 'will not be punishment; and probably In a few years' time he will be released, so it seems to me the most severe penalty here Is the death penalty. Asks Death Penalty. I don't believe, your honor, that It Is merely the cry of a mob or that the people are excited over this matter. I believe if you would go out any place and take twelve levelheaded men, the best citizens of this community, they would ask that the death penalty be inflicted. I feel conscientious about it. I have not asked for the death penalty in any other case, but it seems to me, upon the hard, cold facts brought before the grand jury, and upon the law as it is applied to those facts, that the most severe penalty . should be inflicted and that penalty is the death penalty. '
. ment for Carr, on the grounds that he
1 eventually would be paroled or par
; doned, Judge Fox informed the un
concerned, almost indifferent, slayer
of the two police of fleers that impris
onment for life in his case "means what it 6ays, it being his intention to
recommend to the state board of par-
.dons that he never be paroled or par
doned
When Judge Fox finished addressing , Carr the prisoner turned to a reporter
remarking, very casually, that ' he guessed he'd rather die, but supposed he would have to 6tand for what the
judge ordered." Carr was then hur
ried back to the jail. Asks for Death Penalty.
Prosecutor Reller In pleading with the court to impose the death penalty upon Carr, declared the murder of
the two police officers was "the most aggravated case that has come to my
attention during my term of office."
He said that he had never before
asked for the execution of a man
charged with murder, but that in this
case he believed the prisoner deserv
lng of the maximum punishment.
Prosecutor Reller declared that in Carr's case life imprisonment was not
to be considered the severest punish
ment which could be meted out. He
called attention to the fact that to
day announcement had been made of
; the pardoning of a Wayne county mur
derer, convicted of first degree mur
der, who had served only fifteen years
of a life sentence. Carr Takes Little Interest
Throughout his excoriation by Pros
ecutor Reller and the court s pro
nouncement of sentence Carr appeared
not to be the least Interested in the 'proceedings. The expression on his
i cold, hard-lined -countenance never
changed from the time he entered 'the
court room until he was taken back
to jail.
He had requested the death penalty, 'and those who have studied the mur
derer believe he was sincere in his
request. However, if he was disap (pointed in the court's failure to act fa-
fvorably on this request he gave no in
dication of Buch feeling.
: Not a member of the families of the two murdered police officers was pres
ent when Carr was arraigned ' Mob Violence Feared.
It had been feared by those who would impose a life sentence upon Carr that such action on the court's
part might cause some excitable men
to make a foolish effort at mob violence. Consequently every precaution
was made to have Carr quietly arraigned and taken from the city as Foon after arraignment as possible. By 10:30 o'clock this morning, Carr, In custody of Sheriff Steen was on his way to Michigan City, where he will be incarcerated in the Indiana state prison. Wounds Heal Rapidly. This morning, prior to his arraignment Carr appeared to be stronger than at any time since his crime. He broke his three days' fast, and partook of a light breakfast. He expressed a desire to be brought before the court as soon as possible. He was considerably disappointed last evening because he had not been arraigned yesterday. The bullet wound in his bips and the mace cuts on his head are rapidly healing, and ae had no difficulty in getting about hith the aid of a pair of crutches. One of his attorneys asked Carr if
he did not desire to discuss his case jsith some minister, which suggestion Tarr promptly and vigorously vetoed. He said he was a Christian, but did jot care to have any minister around jim.- "I can do my own thinking. I o not have to have a preacher think C ne." the murderer said.
on cold facts that were brought before
the grand jury on a strict interpretation of the law, as applied to those facts, that merits the most severe penalty known to our law, and in this instance the most severe penalty is the death penalty. Of course, this court has the alternative of either inflicting the death penalty or imposing life imprisonment and I don't think it is so much as to what you punish this man as to the effect in this instance on society. As
far as this man is concerned, I believe even the death penalty would be more
punishment to him than life imprison
ment, although he himself is reported
to have tried t- take his own life Doubts Suicide Attempt.
Your honor, from what came before
the grand jury I don't believe his effort to take his life was a bona fide
one. I don't believe he tried to sui
cide at all, because the opportunity
was there and he really could have taken his own life if he had wanted to, and I want to point out to the court just at this instance why life imprisonment is not the most severe penalty known to the law. Just this morning's paper contains the account of this man Futrell who went up, I believe it was in 1901, for first degree murder, being pardoned.
