Sentence for Murder Affirmed in Albany Case
The Appellate Division unanimously upheld the sixty years to life sentence for Gradie Ray, a 41 year old railroad laborer, in the murder of 15 year old Katherine Gram in Albany. Ray, jailed at Clinton Prison, had argued the sentence was legally imposed by County Judge Earl H. Gallup and sought review. The case traces back to a 1929 plea to second degree murder and a 1942 re sentence upon his return to Albany County.
