Gray Guilty Of
Isl Degree Murder
BY ANsELMo KRIGGER

The best traditions Of Mass
achusetts for justice and fair
ness we're upheld as Chief Jus
tice John F. Higgins of the
Massachusetts Superior Court,
in the Third Session of this
Court in Suffolk County pre-
sided at the trial of Robert
H. Gray, who was convicted Of
first degree murder of Mrs.
Zelda Karchmer.
Justice Higgins, by his i'm
partial conduct of the case,
handled a ticklish sex crime so
adroitly, that anybody who
wants justice and equality for
all has not the slightest cause
to complain.
An Asst. District Attorney,
James j. Cassidy, known for
his fairness, prosecuted for the
Commonwealth. Next defense
counsel Henry F., 'Quarles, APP
pointed by the Court, and as
sisted by Attorney Louis Saw
yer, former Asst. Attorney
General of the Commonwealth
of Massachusetts, and of the
same faith as the deceased,
did all they could for the de-
PENDANT, with the help of ELL
gene Clarke. 49,.
A representative jury COM
posed of men, none of whom
were colored or of the Jewish
faith, decided the fate of the
defendant.
Massachusetts, law makes it
mandatory that when a con-
viction of murder in the first
degree is obtained, the sem
tence is that the defendant
must die in the electric chair.

to get out their large following
as well as placing some mem

appearance in the hall as a
precedent for her future per-

The other issue between Miss

Mr.. Hurok explained, in his
letter, the reason why Miss
Anderson is willing to forego
