Recommendation was made to the
county commissioners today by the
grand jury that plans be made for the
extension of county road work with
prisoners and the plan, which was in
augurated by Highway Superintend-
ent Jones and Sheriff Bayer was
termed mutually beneficial to the
county and to the prisoners
Sheriff Bayer received report that
his treatment of the prisoners at the
Jail is conducive to welfare and re.
formation. He was informed by the
jury that the management of the jail
is as satisfactory as possible with the
old style Jail and the poorly arranged
insane ward
The jurors recommended that the
county commissioners furnish the
sheriff with funds to better the venti
lation and repair the furnace. Other
minor repairs were suggested which
will cause small outlay of money.

GREEN BEGINS LIFE
TERM FOR MURDER
Slayer of Ulysses Clark
Pleads Guilty and Gets
Sentence in Court.

James Green, murderer of Ulysses
Clark, began life sentence today for
his crime.
He pleaded guilty in court this
morning to second degree murder.
The first degree murder affidavit was
not pressed against him when he
agreed to plead guilty to the charge
of second degree murder.
Green said in court that he rented
the shotgun at Wakings to go hunt
ing and that Clark drew a knife on
him when he returned home, causing
him to become enraged and take this
means of defending himself
The investigation of the grand jury
produced different evidence. Green
rented the shotgun from Charles Ten.
mis- at Wakings. but did not purchase
shells. AS he left he said: Can you
throw in couple of shells?"
Tennis told the grand jury that he
tried to sell some to Green but Green
said he would need only two and then
he would be through with the shotgun
Judge Fox sentenced Green to a
life term in Michigan City penitenti
ary after Prosecuting Attorney Keller
recommended that the second degree
plea of guilty be taken instead o1
pressing the first degree indictment
returned by the grand jury.
