Contradictory Stories Confuse

ONE PLEADS GUILTY
Jack Dennis, Also Charsed With
Robbery, Hoars Testimony of
First Witness, Then Changes
Pica and (ieta Two Years.
Considerable amusement was de
rived this morning by judge. Jury,
lawyers and spectators at the trial of
the three negroes. Kid Williams,
Charles Williams and Joe Brown,
who were tried for burglary. The
trio was accused of having entered
the store of Sam Baseel at Glenedale
and were arrested shortly afterwards
with the goods In their possession.
When' the trinl opened Joe Browu,
against whom the evidence was con
clusive, changed his plea to guilty
and endeavored to spare his colored
companions by telling a highly In
flated story of how with the assist
ance of a negro named "Blackle" ho
had entered the store and had ap
propriated the goods found. How
ever, he went a little too far and his
story quickly explodod under cross
examination.
Tho other two dusky prisoners
made" strong denials but after getting
considerably "balled up" In the geo
graphical situation of Shasta Springs
and Dunsmuir. where they each
claimed to have purchased tho stuff
found in their , possession, their
stories became so confused that their
guilt was evidont. The attorneys for
the state and for the defense made
only short arguments, and the Jury
took no tlmn for deliberation, return
ing its verdict of nuHty as soon as
thhe organization was perfected.
Judge Hamilton passed sentence I
immediately, giving eacn oi me col
ored men a maximum term of five
years In the penitentiary.
Their trial was preceded y that
of Jack Dcinls, who was also ac
cused of robbery committed at Olen
dale. Ho was alleged to have en
tered the store of II L. Wilson at
Glenedale, In company with Frank
Bovell. who was discovered to be thn
son of a wealthy Oinnha man. Den
nis demanded trial, and it is claimed
forced Bovell to make a statement
assuming the guilt for tho crime.
Tlovell later retracted this statement
and on the witness stand testifying
npalnst Dennis, gave a clear-cut, de
tailed statement or facta. When he
had finished his testimony Dennis
changed his plea from not guilty to
guilty, and received a sentence of
two years In tho penitentiary- Bovell
was also sentenced tu serve two years
nnd was paroled to George W. Plai
ner, who left today with the young
man for Omaha.

Normal Contribution to Food
Supply Will Be Made
This Season.
SALARY IS PROBLEM
Plenty of Farm Workers Can be
Found It Farmers An Willing
to l'ay Them, the Wages
They Ask For.
By Associated Press
ALBANY. N. .. May M. Farms
of New York slate will produce their
normal contribution to the nation's
ood supply this season if the farm-
on are willing to pay the high wages
demanded by farm labor, say oni-
ctals ot the state department ot
.arms and markets. These oniciais
exnresa the belief that tbe farmer
are beginning to realise that their
products will command mgu prices
next fall and that this will Induce
;heui to pay high wages to laborer
and to plapt at least as many aeres
as In former years.
The farm workers will be Iounu
jay department officials, when the
farmer is willing to pay them the
rages they want. The proDiem oi
the farmer is the cost of labor,
rather than shortage, they declare.
Woodsmen who have been worxing
,n the logging camps during tbe
winter are expected to go on mo
farms in the summer. Besides, say
tluto officials, the annual "back to
ho land" migration from the cities
ihould help to rellore the labor sit
uation. Men who have been lured
from the rural communities and
'owns by the higher wages offered In
ihop and factory begin to long for
outdoor life when the warm days
:ome, they say, and little coaxing Is
needed to make them exchange their
vork on their bench or machine for
open spaces In field and meadow.
Planting has been delayed, but thts
la attributed mostly to unfavorable
weather conditions. There was dif
ficulty early in the spring In obtain
ing seed, fertilizer, farm Implements
ind machinery, but the state officials
my these commodities have been sup
plied as a result of efforts of the da
'jurttnent of farms and markets In
:o-nperatlon with railroad officials.
Expeclatlon that the New York
date farmer will see his duty and do
it this year Is based In part upon his
-ecord in 1917 and 1918, when farm
aborers of the draft age were In the
irmy. The state officials say that
he farmer never before faced such
I labor shortage but, nevertheless,
hose were banner years in crop pro
luctlon in New York state as well as
or the bank balances for the farm
ers. They declare that If the Tarmcr
vlll pay the wages demanded, he will
eeolve this year bigger profits than
over before.
