Lifer for Theft Under New Law Faces Third Term
Harry Raymond Howell may receive a life sentence under habitual criminal law if the $2,000 Camille Walton diamond theft is proved.

Howell was located in Indianapolis and later in Danville, with witnesses suggesting he hid the valuables. He is jailed awaiting grand jury action and is a Battery A veteran from the Spanish-American War.
