Death Sentence Friday.

camden. ~ J.. Feb. @2.-Raymond
Schuck Of this city. on trial here IN
connection with lie killing and robbing
Of David Paul, a bank messenger, last
October was today found guilty OIL
murder in the first degree by jury IN
tho Camden county court. Frank James,
a co-defendant. was found guilty OF flrst
degree murder last December and IS
awaiting sentence.
Schuck's counsel Immediately fled a
motion for now trial. II had been
hoped by the defendants attorneys that
the maximum vcrdiCc the jury would
render would be first degree murder
with a recommendation TO mercy which
would have sent Schucli TO prison for
life, instead OF being sentenced to
death.
The killing OF Paul occurred October
after he had started from the Broad
way Trust Company Of this city to
Philadelphia with $4,000 in cash and
checks. He disappeared and II days
later his body was found by gunners
in shallow grave in the thick pine
woods Of Burlington county, y. j..
James. who was the last person seen
with Paul. was Immediately arrested,
and from statements he made Schuck's S
arrest followed.
According to the police, both men
made confessions. These statements
agreed that Paul accepted an invitation
to ride 10 the ferry on his way 10 Phil
adelphia, and that he was struck with
a hammer in the machine and killed and
his body hidden in the pines.
The alleged confessions also agree
that tho two men spent several days in
Philadelphia. spending some OF the
money on women. 4 part of the money
was hidden in Schuck's home and L part
was buried in 4 cemetery near the
grave Of Schuck's mother.
The alleged statements of the men
differed a. to who did the killing. James
admitted he struck Paul. but maintained
that Schuck nit the fatal blows. Schuck
said he did not strike Paul: that be did
not know James intended 10 rob Paul
and said fear of James kept him from
interfering with him in attacking .Taul
and from revealing the crime.

HEART AND HOME PROBLEMS
Written for The State journal
BY ELIZABETH THOMPSON

Dear Mrs. Thompson: have
known girl for about five years.
have never had any date with her. All
we have done was to speak to each
other.
She used to go with a friend OF
mine about three years ago. but he
left for the army and he died on the
way to France. She didn't go with
anybody after that until about a year
ago, and then she went with another
fellow 1 know. After about six
months he left her. I met him in the
shop one time and asked him how she
was and why he didn't go with her
any more, and he said that she was
too slow.
L don't go with any girl and never
did; 1 am too bashful. I have had
this girl on my mind ever since the
first time I saw her. I am a pretty
good sort OF fellow. 1 like sport OF
any kind. am not stingy and will go
any place, but it seems that every
time I see her blush. Lots of times
make up my mind that I will ask
her for a date and then for steady
company the next time see her, but
when we meet I haven't the nerve
I know she likes me.
AS far as my eyes can see I don't
think that I could get a better girl IN
my life. We are both about twenty
three and of the same religion. Meth
er of us is rich or poor. L. NJ N
II IS q pity that you are SO bashful.
because there is no reason in the
world why you should not be enjoying
yourself with the young lady you ad-
mire so much. If you are too shy to
speak to her directly, I would suggest
you write her a note and invite her to
go to some entertainment with you
Do not mention STEADY COMPANY
Simply go with the girl until you feel
sure that you want to marry her or
that you do not want to marry her II
you care as much for her after better
acquaintance, ask her to marry you.
