CLH TO HUIE JOLT H
FOB MURDER OF HIS WIFE
Sentence Pronounced Wednes*
day-Doomed Man Contin
ues Unsanity Pose
Maintaining to the very end the pose
of Insanity, hia lips sealed tightly during
his entire trial, Robert L. Clay stood mo
tionless with bowed head, for five min
utes between Deputy Sheriffs Minor and
Garner. Wednesday morning, while Judge
L. S. Roan, of the superior court of Ful- I
ton county, sentenced him to hang on
July 26 for the murder of his young wife,
Kate Hughes Clay, on May 12. 1
The condemned man stood motionless.
After sentence was pronounced the dep
uties took him by the arm and led him
from the dock to the tower, where he ■
will be Incarcerated until the day of ex
ecution.
Despite the fact that prominent phy
sicians scoffed at the ideawthat Clay was
crazy, he maintains his attitude. The
three doctors who were appointed as a
commission to determine whether or not
the accused man w'as shai»..aing agreed,
that he was acting.

Jimmy said: "My pa is a church mem
ber."
“So Is mine,” boasted Henry.
"He ain't neither. My pa says your
pa don't come to church, and even when
he does he doesn't put nothing in the
collection box.”
"Huh! My pa is an honorary jnem
ber, and honorary members don't hafter
chip ih!”
