with her, and when she left. seemed to
be in good spirits.
Family Still Hopes
Charles II. Schuck. Rays" father,
spoke for the family today when he said
they would stand by the condemned
man until the end. and fight the case
through every court.
II never believed Ray struck any
blows" Mr.. Schuck said. "and ] do
not believe il now. Our family feels
keCuly the disgrace which .the ronvic-
tion of Ray has brought upon us. I
had hoped that If the jury found my
son guilty they would recommend mercy,
bearing in mind that it was his con
fession TINT enabled the authorities to
solve the murder mystery. and that his
efforts led to the recovery of the stolen
money.
Since the trial physicians have ad.
viSed me to have an inquiry made into
Rays sanity. His attitude during the
trial and remarks he made indicated to
them that he was insane am con =
vinced for my part that Ray is OF un'
sound mind.

which he occupied during the trial and
in which he had an electric light in
