Local Insurance Man Was Victim
Of Gunman In Factory District
Of City Friday Night ? Leroy
White, Negro Bandit, Is Still At
Large
O. C. llray. 4 4 yoar? old, a '.oral (
r-urance man. is in critical comll
tion at tin* Community Ho* pita1 as
a r suit of a bullet wound in hip and,
ahJ<men received Friday night a^
Mr. Dray turned to run when !.? Roy
W.iiN', . onlor* (I, attempted to hold.
t'K white man up shortly ?((? r " !?
o'clock in tin* factory district of this
city.
The msro if still at large.
Mr. Ilray was semi conscious Sat
urday afternoon. <?nd his condition
v.-i? -desi'ri''???*! by attending physi
cians as quite critical.
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]i? result of four, probably, netting
lilm less than $10. At about 6:30
lio held uj? Floyd \Vin?low. is year
o|d -on of a Southern nv? nuo Rroc?*r.
whi: l!?*? father, H. <*. Winslow. way
out of tin- store, and compelled the
b.?v |.. fork over $2.r?o.
I*. it. r.iimon. Skinner avenue urn
'.Ifh whoiu Sap was accustomed
hi 11?<d'1. van ne\t on Sap's lift, and
I ? ' ro found Mr. Cibftnn alone in
flie -tore and about to lock up for
tin nmiit.
"Mry. CJIbson and tuv son I'et^r."
?)?ay> Mr. Gibson, "had Just pone on!

see if there was anything lie wanJe,d.
Sap did so and on bin way out. Just
as it. cane oppo*it< tie in tlx door
of in\ office, he eoked bis pun In
my breast and said:
" '<;lv. me money or I II kill you.'
"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."
Maddened probably by the faiSu><'
to rob Oihdon, Sap flred when Mr.
lira'., who was hi* next victim, s'art
? d to run. Tie noirro nay have
thought to halt the white man b> a
shot at clos' quarters In the lea but,
if so. his aim was hitch and the po
-itIon of Mr. Hroy's body puts the
unman In line to be most severely
If with If he Ih ever hrouzht into
iirt to to ansv/er for his offense.
'I e fourth holdup occurred In t'?o
section of the city about 1 .*?
t il iles after the wounding of Mr.
Hr.iy. John P. .Overman on Perrse
street was the victim in this instance
and Sap look about off of Mm.
In addition to I in* holdups. one
one broke Into the stori' of T \V.

day night shortly after midnight. The
intruder left a lot of loot stacked on
the? sidewalk but is believed to havf
been frightened off before l?< ?
K?-t awiy with anything. This, also.
Is Im llcved to have been Sap's work.
( Prior to lite lir*t holdup. Sip
