The luuro far* cl as his victim] turned in flight and while the wl.He man's body was bent forward. The bulh t entered the right hip but wa< ?l?rtl? cted irpWard Into the abdomen, win re it punctured the small Intes Viii? in four places and lodged jiift itud? r the skin to the right of the navel. Mr. Itray continued running after tht negro fin d and.walked or rat4 all th?' way to his home at 22 Vest l?ur.? ss street. When lie r?a/*hed hor.ie his physician. l)r. Claude Wil liai.-iwas summoned. and Dr. Wil liams. on arrival, after the briefest < Nomination, hurried his patient to thi; Community Hospital, where he v?a? put upon ihc operating tal if. i T' < re the bullet was extracted an.' the punctures in the inte:t|ne wi r- sewed up by Dr. John Sail ha. assisted by Dr. Williams and Dr. Ft-jrlng. Mr. Dray Is described having a chance to recover, but the shock of the hold-up and the bullet wound, together with the strain of the long walk end ran home and the Waiting for the arrival of a physi cian. left him in a weakened condi tion when he reached the hospital and the operation was the more se rious on tli-.it account. Mr. Bray Is a large man carrying considerable flesh, and a wound of this sort is usually :?:ore serious for a n: in of Ills build than for a man of loss weight, physicians say. The hold-up. which was (he ll.ird in a series staled by Leltov White, .eii' rally known as Sap. Fr'dav night, occurred on Factory street v i. re Mr. Itray was making night calls on policy holders or prospect lee policy holders ef his company. !!?* was not out collecting, a* has *h? en reported, and prntialily had very I It - tl- money on his person when the hold-up was staged. "Throw up vonr. hands.*" torn manded Sap. leve ling a hi:., h'e. steel "1.V against the white iimih' l?roast. Mr. Ilray, startled, obeyed the first impulse and turned to run. As he turned, the negro phr.-'d him. Prior or nu?-nf to that time, in ii'? snmf evening. Sap Is charged wJt'i having pulled-*off three oth<*r 1;"|?s In various'narts of the city.

"I knocked lb?- weapon aside and sprang at the m:ro. but he eluded me and ran off across the ral'road track. That's the last I saw of him."
