DIES IN ELECTRIC CHAR

Michigan City, md Oct, 16--Rob-
ert Collier, a negro convicted at Ev-
ansville of the murder of John Cain,
policeman of that city, was electro
cuted at the state prison here today.
An interesting feature Of the case was
the fact that Collier helped to build
the chair in which he was put to
death. When the chair was built
some three years ago Collier was
serving a term in the prison for as
sault and battery with intent to kill.
He was a helper of the electricians
at the prison and in that capacity as
sisted in building the chair and in
