i) Who Traced Slayer's Route
From Home of Farmer
1 At the hearing of John Bent, alias
TMax Morganthal. the Harrisburg huck
uster charged with the murder of John
j.M. Hupp, a Cumberland county farm
er, lieutenant of Police Edward Ward
en, will be an important witness. The
hearing will take place Monday night
at Carlisle.
Lieutenant 'Warden has some inter
esting evidence to give. Though tbe
efforts of the Harrisburg officer. Bent's
travels have been traced from thu time
lie left the Kupp farm, until the ar
rest was made on the Harrisburg
bridge. Bent did not come by way of
I iht- main road to Harrisburg. but
ildrove over the Conodogulnet creek and
• stopped at West Fairview, where, it is
said, he disposed of a coop of chickens,
according to Warden.
Bent denied that he was near
Medianicsburg when first questioned
by Lieutenant Warden. Later the
huckster said to the lieutenant:
"If I had gone up tbe river and
crossed over at the Juniata Bridge,
you never would have got me. You
would not have fixed this on me, eith
er." Other things told by Morganthal,
which may prove that there was some
one else with the huckster when the
shooting occurred, will be a part of
the testimony at a hearing next Mon
day night.
In the vicinity of the ltupp home,
and at various points in Cumberland
county, detectives are hunting for evi
dence on which they hope to convict
Bent on a charge of murder in the first
degree.

With the returns in hand from fifty

Supreme Court judge by 5,700 votes.
Tfic returns in hand do not include
. the two large counties of Lackawanna
' and Luzerne, where it was reported

, votes than Judge Kunkel, but the
i counties still to be heard from are ex
pected to offset any gains likely to be

j is understood that Judge Kunkel will
I have a majority over Endlich in

Judge Kunkel now has about 5,500 ma

Endlich 2.744 and Kunkel 2,556, which

for the Dauphin county jurist. Lu

JURYiVERDICT SOON
i Judge Seabury's Charge Lasted For
More Than Two Hours This
Morning
By Associated Press
New York, May 22.—Justice Sea
bury began his charge to the jury In
the Becker case at 10 o'clock this
morning and concluded at 12.29 this
afternoon.
Becker appeared in court a. few
minutes after the jury was seated. His
wife sat at the side of the room.
"This defendant," began Justice
Seabury, "is charged with murder In
the first degree. The people do not
claim that he lired the shot that killed
Rosenthal. But they charge him with
I producing the commission of the
crime.
"If this defendant as a lieutenant
of police had a murder done, justice
demands that he be convicted and
punished by being sentenced to death.
But he must be proved guilty beyond
reasonable doubt."
Justice Seabury read the jury sev
eral statues dealing with the crime of
murder, to show that in law a man
who procured or aided in the commis
sion of murder is to be considered a
principal.
"Jf this defendant," he went on,
"either directly or indirectly procured
the murder of Herman Rosenthal he
is guilty as charged.
"The State has introduced both di
rect and circumstantial evidence. The
law does not act upon circumstantial
evidence alone. It does act, however,
when some direct evidence is intro
duced. Jurors should not disregard
eircumstanclal evldenco simply be
i cause it is such."
The case went to the jur; at 12.52
p. m.
The jury was expected to return be
fore evening.

Sy Associated Press
Niagara Falls, ont., Muy 22. —Con-
fronted with the announcement from
Washington that the Constitutionalists
were planning to send a representative
here, the mediators as well as tho
American and Mexican delegates

Until the exact purposes of a Con

I A midnight conference of the threo

I discussed various possibilities in this
j connection but no conclusion was un
derstood to have been reached in view
J of the absence of definite Information.
In the meantime the American and
Huerta commissioners were in com

of the questions to he discussed in tho
mediation itself. No formal confer

of the time being set aside for sight

talks between the mediators and com
