IN HIS CELL
Williams Awaits Decision
of Judge Who May
Release Him.
HE HAD NO LUCKY STAR

sMsneie, Ind, Dec. 21-Hiram Will
liams, who was tounG guilty of con-
spring with Joseph Studor, of Can
ton, in the commission of a felony, is
still in jan here pending his sentence.
There is remote possibility that
Williams may be released, as sympa-
thy is very strong for him mere and
the fact that he was proven guilty
principally through Studor, who be-
trayed him, and that he has all along
refused to betray Studor, has aroused
public sentiment in his favor.
Wiiliams' attorneys have filed a mo-
ton asking for his release giving as
grounds that the jury in the case
have made no finding and did not fix
a penalty. His attorneys claim the
crime which Williams is charged does
not come under the indeterminate
sentence law. The judge has the mo-
tion under consideration.
Studor left here for Canton two days
ago. His record there is bad. 1t is
believed that the judge will probably
pass sentence on Williams despite the
fact that many would like to see him
released.
Williams case depicts him in the
light of a man who has been woeful-
ly pursued by misfortune. The hand
of fate has seemed to grip and chas-
tise him during his entire life. 1t is
because of this and because OF pecul-
iarly extenuating circumstances sur
rounding his case, well known to peo-
pie here that a general feeling of COM
passion is accofaed him by the pub
lie.
The arguments on the motion for
Williams release will be heard Sat
.urday.
