FATE OF NEGROES
IN JURIES' HAND
THIS AFTERNOON
Both Elwood Wilson and Cor
nelius Shepherd Murder
Trials Finished
"Whether or not Elwood 'Wilson and
Cornelius Shepherd shall pay the law's
; penalty on the electric chair for the
murders respectively of City Patrolman
Lewis C. Hippie and Henry Walker,
: was given to Dauphin county Juries
late this afternoon to determine.
| The final efforts of both men to
1 1 save themselves from the were
made with the convening of December
I criminal court this morning, and by
the noon recess the attorneys for the
1 ' defense in each instance had finished
their arguments to the juries.
Attorney Harvey E. Knupp handled
Wilson's case in No. 1 room before
President Judge Kunkel and Attorney
W. J. Carter argued for the defense
before Additional Law Judge McCar
rell in No. 2 room. District Attornev
M. E .Stroup and Assistant District At
, tornev Frank B. Wiekersham will sum
up the State's evidence respectively
in the Wilson and Shepherd cases.
Tito Moon Gets Into the Case
The only high light in the winding
up of the Wilson case was offered by
Weather Observer E. R. Demain. He
explained upon request of the Com
monwealth's attorneys, that during the
early morning hours of June 23—the
| time at which Hippie was deliberated
! shot down close to the Market street
I subway—the moon rode high in the
| skies and helped the electric lights
i brighten the streets.
The question of whether or not the
moon shown that morning -was raised
j by the questioning of the defense of
i testimony offered by W. W. First, and
| other witnesses for the State.
First, a Pennsy telegraph operator,
saw the shooting of Hippie from his
window In a nearby telegraph tower.
He was able to plainly discern the
' two men because the moon made the
night so bright, he said.
Wllvm Wears the "Murder Cap"
j President Judge Kunkel declined to
• permit the jury to visit the scene of
i the shooting to-night in order that the
! surroundings might be viewed by
i moonlight. This was because all of
I the evidence has been given to the
j Jury.
j For a few minutes to-dav James
I White, who is accused with Wilson of
I the murder of Patrolman Hippie, and
j Wilson himself, strolled about the
courtroom together while the jurv
j watched interestedly. The men walk.
| ed over to the window—while vigilant
; deputies looked warily on—so that
| the light could fall on their features.
I Both took off their coats, stood in var
ious postures—and Wilson repeatedly
! put on and removed his cap.
In tlie Moonlight
The headgear, "the murder cap," as
it has been generally referred to dur
ing the trial, is the cap that was i
taken from Wilson the night of the 1
shooting and which is Identical, ac- i
cording to witnesses with the cap that I
was worn by the man who fired at I
. Patrolman Hippie.
In his own defense Shepherd took !
'ho stand In No. 2 and admitted that;
Jhe had shot Henry Walker during a
, crap game at the Brownstone quarries
near Hummelstown. eH did so, how
ever, because he feared for his own
life- as he declared Walker had re
peatedly threatend him. Furthermore,
he said, as he stepped Into the crap
: shooters' circle. Walker threw his
j hand toward his hip and Shepherd de
\ clared he thought he meant to draw
, a gun.
Persuasion
Fftßk aOtewood. one of the crap
shooters, who sat in the circle, tosti
i fled that Walker made no move to
| draw a weapon, but that Shepherd
; fired while his victim was kneeling on
i the ground. And before the Jury
| aGtewood kneeled to illustrate.

HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH
BAKERS CONFER
ON QUESTION OF
SIX-CENT LOAF
1 .
Question of Whether Price
Shall Be Raised Here
Still Unsettled
[FLOURING EXPERT TALKS
Throws Light on Variance of
Prices During Last Sev
eral Years
To raise the price or not to raise it? j
That Is the question uppermost in
the minds of Harrisburg bakers.
The Pennsylvania Master Bakers'
! Association has advised the six-cent
ioaf. Bakers all agree that they need
the money. But City Sealer Reel Bays, j
"it's an attempt to sou go the public"; |
State Sealer Sweeney declares the ba- j
kers are already getting' "all that's
coming to them"—and so there vou
are!
The status-quo is this—bread is still
five cents. Conferences are being held
by the bakers to decide the momen
tary question of a raise.
The I 'lour Situation
S. S. Miller, representative of one
of the bin flouring industries of the
country, with offices in the Telegraph ;
building, to-day Kave out a statement
on the wheat and flour situation which
thrown considerable light on the pro
j posal of the bakers to raise the price
Jof bread. Mr. Miller shows how prices
[have varied during the past several I
| years and says the end is not vet. His '
statement follows:
"The newspapers have given con
siderable space recently to the prices I
of foodstuffs and especially the bread i
question." said Mr. Miller.
"The bread question has been dls-1
cussed from tho bakers' standpoint
and front a standpoint of the sealer
of weights and measures for both th
State and the city, these departments
operating as a safeguard to the buying
public.
"It is admitted that articles of all
kinds, regardless of the fact as to
whether they be foodstuffs, wearing
apparel or manufactured goods, used
in large building operations, by rail
road companies, etc., have advanced
In price to considerable extent.
"Since the bread question has be- i
como an important subject for dls-!
cussion, 1 thought it would be well
to give to the public some facts con- :
cerning llour. Flour, which repre
sents the greatest item of expense in
a bread bakery, has advanced in pri< e I
from December i>. 191?., to the present!
date approximately 100 per cent On :
December 5. 1913, the quality of flour 1
ns used in the large bakeries was sold
for $4.30 per barrel; on December 3,1
1914. $5,85: December 5, 1915. $6.05; j
December 5, 1916, $9.35. All deliver
ed f. o. b. Harrisburg. This same flour,
within the last 60 days lias been as
high as $10.25 per barrel.
"Being interested in the sale of I
flour, it is natural to suppose that 1 ,
would have no particular Interest in anv •
controversy the buying public might '
have with the l>aker. but it is my opln- •
ion that the public should be dealt
fairly with and In the thought of ad
vancing the price of bread. I am of |
the opinion that the information with !
reference to the cost of flour, cover- !
lng a period of four years is of inter
est not only to the public, but to
those who operate the departments of
weights and measures In the citv of
Harrisburg, and the State of Pennsyl
vania,
"The above figures are correct in
every detail and the only conclusion ,
that can be reached from the baker's !
standpoint is that some adjustment I
will have to be made with reference
to the selling prices of this comino- <
dlty.
"Flour is not the only article which '
has advanced in price, but every com
modlty which comes into a bakery for
the manufacture of the finished "pro-,
duct has had considerable advances;
paper, spices, fuel, labor and articles
necessary for the maintenance of de
livery.
"My purpose as a flour merchant in
advancing this information is to let
the public know exactly what condi
tions are at the present time, and
have been for some time past; and I
believe after all that the only way to
operate a business successfullv is to
take the public Into its confidence and
give It the conditions as they exist.
The making of bread is not done un
der any secret process and anv house
wife can testify to the fact that the
cost of homemade bread has ad
vanced In gerat proportions, because
of the higher prices of articles used
in baking.
"In conclusion it is the opinion the
millers and all large bakers, that the
flour market is going to maintain its
high prices for some time to come
and among many reasons thov advance
for this thought is that the mills will
be compelled to discontinue manufac
turing for some time if tratflc condi
tions do not improve. All sales of
flour are being mode, at present, sub
ject to shipping delays. Embargoes
are being placed by some of the rail
roads and the question of moving
grain i& one that is very perplexing.
