SHELBYVILLE, Ind, March I'm maxi
ing up his order book in the George NJ. Ray
case Judge kirkpatrick Endorsed the fol-
lowing in the record: said defendant is re-
handed into the custody of the sheriff for
confinement in the county, jail. to be thence
conveyed TO the Indiana State Prison, there
10 remain for the period aforesaid" Ray
and one of the deputy sheriffs have been
about town all day, the same as before the
verdict was pronounced, and tonight in his
paper Ray makes a scathing attack upon
John Messick and James o.. Parrish. the
Jury commissioners who drew the venire
which tried him. openly charging them with
selecting "a little clique of prejudiced men"
and stating that the basis of his conviction
was political revenge. Mr.. Messick is the
president of the First National Bank of this
city and Mr.. Parrish is one of the leading
business men and both are held in the high
est esteem.
Sheriff Luther refuses to discuss the pos
sibility of combining Ray in jail, simply stat
ing that he is responsible for his prisoner.
To-day Ray had a claim before the Coun-
ty Council for an appropriation. He had
printed a bar docket for Judge Morris and
put In a bill for SO, which Morris had in
dorsed as excessive. Ray, in the custody of
Sheriff Luther and two deputies, appeared
before the council demanding an appropria-
ton for his claim and abusing Judge Nor
ris for not recommending its payment and
Auditor Gilman for not calling them to-
gether sooner. After a telephone cOnsulta-
ton with Judge Morris the council made an
appropriation of $35 on the claim.
One of Rays attorneys last night stated
that the next move would be TO ask a writ
of habeas corpus, but he would not state
the grounds. Groups stand about the streets
discussing the probability of the sheriff
obeying the order of the court, and even
bets are offered that Ray will not be taken
to prison az all.
