SUPREME COURT
AFF|RMS SENTENCE
Three Murderers Dealt With
BY High Tribunal.

Indianapolis. Ind, July 2.-The su-
preme court has affirmed life sentenc-
es given three prisoners, two members
of the Williams family for the murder
of James Leigh at Bonneville, and AL
bin R. Ludwig for the murder of his
wife at Mishawaka.
Jonah Williams, his wife, Minerva
Williams, and Wesley Williams quar-
relied with James Leigh and wife, a
neighbor. Wesley Williams shot and
killed Leigh. The three were con-
victed of murder in the first degree.
The court declared that the wife and
son showed more murderous hate than
Jonah, but that he deserved his SEN
tence.
In the Ludwig case the evidence
showed that Ludwig was jealous and
that his wife had determined to leave
him. The woman was found in a
closet at their home with marks on
her head and throat which the de-
PENDANT made in a struggle with her
just before his own throat was slash
ed. He insisted that he tainted after
fight with his wife, and that she cut
his throat and then died of heart dis
ease
