NEGRO HANGED
IN PRISON FOR
GIRL'S.M MURDER
Was Enemy of White Race
After Having Seen Lynch
ing, He Declares

Florence Arizona, June 2O.--Wil-
liam B. Ward, negro, was hanged at
dawn this morning at the state
prison here for the murder of Ted
Grosh, Arizona university student.
Grosh was slain on December 26,
while riding in an automobile with
Miss Maxine McNelly. Ward stopped
their car as they were proceeding
along the road, stepped on the run
ming board and fired a bullet into the
head Of Grosh, killing him instant
ly. He then forced Miss McNelly
from the car and to accompany him
to an abandoned mining tunnel
where he finally fired two shots in
to her body, leaving her for dead.
She eventually recovered and was a
witness against Ward at his trial.
Following his conviction and con-
finement here, he attempted to gain
his freedom by attempting to kidnap
and hold in his cell two women
missionaries who were calling on
him. One of the women sustained
severe injuries as he attempted to
force her into his cell, there to be
held until he was promised his free
dom. Fellow convicts rushed to
their rescue and were prevented
from killing Ward only by the in
tervention of r. B. Sims, superin-
tendent of the prison.
Blame for his criminal career was
laid by Ward on the white race,
which he said, burned in his men,
ory a hatred for white people when
he witnessed the burning at the stake
Of six negroes by a mob in Paris,
Texas, several years ago. He spent
his last days in solitary cell, and
these were marked by his religious
devotions.

POLICE PREPARED TO PROTECT VISITORS
TO NEW YORK CONVENTION FROM CROOKS
BY NEA Service

Dy A>IA oVlSNC
New York, June 20.-Here are the
latest tips from the Democratic con-
venton. They come not from any
of the many political camps, and,
therefore, may be accepted with the
utmost reliability.
They are inside steers for dele

either porter or taxi driver, re-
port it to the police.
| "Be careful Of hotel runners.
There are many unscrupulous ones
who will take advantage Of you.
Theirs is not the best way to secure
accommodations.
Because New York has long been
a Mecca for con men and flim-flam
artists, Mrs. Hamilton issues a
special warning against lost uncle,
the fIapper's lament, and other
stories.
"Many of these notwithstanding
tales" she says, care developed from
remarks overheard in public places

can be turned against you any time
"Don't be surprised if what you
