NEGRO RAY PAYS
MURDER PRICE
Electrocuted for Staying Ia
Year-Old White Girl.
Special to The Times.


MICHIGAN CITY, Ind, Aug. 5.-Wil-
liam Ray, alias William Hart. Is, an In
dfanapofis negro, was killed in the cleo
tic chair, this morning at II: 15 o'clock!
Tha death march started soon after
the clock struck midnight and IN few
minutes Ray was strapped securely in
the chair and the signal given that all
was ready.
As the prison attaches stepped back a
high charge Of electricity passed through
Rays body and death occurred instantly.
The crime for which Ray was put to
death was one of the most brutal in the
criminal annals of the state
He was convicted of the murder of
Martha HUFF, 14-year- old indianapolis
white girk whom he enticed from home
on the pretext of a gift of clothing from
a white family of Rays acquaintance.
The girl disappeared April 10, and
after several hours search her body was
found nude and mutilated in Eagle creek,
In a letter to Gov. Goodrich, April "a,
Ray made a second confession, throwing
new light on the crime.
He stated that he did not intend to
kin the girl and was now spending his
time praying to his God for forgiveness.
Ray is the first man to pay the death
penalty since Feb. 1, 1916 when Kelly
Robinson, also an Indianapolis negro.
was electrocuted for the murder Of John
Roe.
Robinson shot Roe when Roe refused
him a nickel.

LANDLADY CAUSE
OF FIENDpS ARREST

The body of IA year-old Martha Hun,
who was the victim of William Ray, ex
ecuted at the state prison this morning,
was found in Eagle creek, a half mile
north of Washin gtOn street late April 20.
The girl had disappeared in company
with the negro on the day previous and
anxious search was made through the
night and the following day.
Her nude body, when found, bore thir-
teen stab wounds in the throat and dis
coloration over the left eye, where she
had been struck.
Ray was arrested shortly before mid
night, April n, by Detectives Sneed and
Trabue and Patrolman Carter on infor-
nation provided by the woman with
whom Ray lived.
A bIoodstained knife in his possession
was the first bit Of evidence which led TO
his confession about two hours later and
on the next day he signed written
statement in which he admitted he as
saulted the girl.
News of the negro's arrest attracted
large crowds to the downtown streets on
the night Of April %, and for some time
it was feared a lynching would be at
tempted, but after several arrests the po-
lice succeeded in dispensing the throngs
and the excitement eventually subsidized.
One week later jury in the criminal
court returned a verdict of guilty in
twenty minutes, and Ray was sentenced
to die in the electric chair Aug. >.

izontal increases as imposed by the state
board
The total valuation OF personal prop
erty returned to the state board in 1919,
