MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL ;TRIBUITEr THEEE ft J ! "Wadneiday, December 22. 1954 it COSTS NO MORE TO SHOP THE STORE TH cl- ' OF 1 Fa ilv r i' ? ! 1 t PLENTY OF RED FACES were in evidence when jury trying Dr. Sam Sheppard for slaying of wife, Marilyn,' went to Cleveland, O., elerk's office to collect pay, were informed till was Jjare, they'd have to return later. Incident occurred on fourth day of deliberations. (Inttmattonal) Degree of Guilt Delayed Decision In Sheppard Case Cleveland U.R) What took the Dr. Samuel H. Sheppard wife-murder jury so long in reaching a verdict was deciding just how guilty the osteopathic surgeon was, it was disclosed today. The Cleveland Press said it had learned in talks with the jurors and those associated with them that they took 18 ballots during their five-day deliberation. Two woman jurors voted to acquit on the first ballot last Friday night, but by Saturday -afternoon they had joined the rest in concluding that Dr. Sam bludgeoned his pregnant wife, Marilyn, to death, thd newspa per said. -Eligible for Parol .- It took three days of delibera tion to work out the degree of guilt, second degree murder, The jury 'foreman, James C. Bird, pressed the buzzer late yesterday afternoon disclosing the five women and seven men were unanimous in a verdict. The jury got the case Friday morning. They deliberated 102 hours before deciding on guilt in the second degree, which made a life prison sentence mandatory. ( . However, the - 30 -year -old sports-loving doctor is eligible for parole in 10 years. Ia County Jail Dr. Sheppard was under "sui cide guard" in an isolated obser vation cell in the county jail today. But jailers said that was routine, for. prisoners convicted of murder. He was expected to be transferred back soon to a cell block with other, prisoners. The jurors agreed that Susan Hayes "seemed to be telling the truth' on the stand, the news paper said. She testified to sex ual intimacies with. Dr. Sam and said he professed his love to her on several occasions. Consumer Prices in Pacific Coast Area Average Down wa rd San Francisco U.R) Con sumer prices reflected a steady downward trend during Novem ber in the major cities of the Pacific coast area, the United States Department of Labor re ported today. Food prices in Portland, Ore., j averaged lower than during any month since December 1950. The iridex of 109.8 was 1.6 per cent below that for October and 1.6 per below that of November a year ago, The sharp decline over . the month was primarily the result of lower prices for items in the meats, poultry and fish group and in the grocery price of milk. ' In Los Angeles retail prices I were 0.2 per cent higher .than m October but in October they were at the year's lowest level. The all items index of 115.0 was 0.9 per cent below , that of No vember a year ago. . The slight increase between October and November was the net result of ; nearly offsetting price movements of the items which comprise the index. Food prices averaged 1.0 per cent lower, while housing and ap parel prices were down slight ly. Transportation costs, how ever, moved up sharply, by 4.6 per cent. Retail food prices m San Francisco dropped 1.0 per cent in November to the lowest point in 20 months. The index of 112.6 also was 0.2 per cent below the comparable figure for Novem ber 1953 and fell below the lev el of every other month since March 1953. Fruits. Vegetables Higher Every important food category except fruits and vegetables showed a price level decline from that of October. Fruits and vgetables, however, averaged 0.6 per cent higher than a month ago. i - In Seattle, the average level of retail prices during Novem ber was the lowest since Febru ary 1953. The maximum spread during this period, between the November all items price index of 115.7 and the high point of 116.8 in August, 1953, however, amounts to less than 1 per cent, indicating a stable price level, The change between Novem ber 1954 and last August, when the all items group was last priced, amounted to a decrease of 0.4 per cent. The most import ant contributing factor in this change was a 2.0 per cent de crease in the price of food. BALLOON TRIP Lincoln, Neb. (U.R) Jerry Peach, University of Nebraska student, turned loose a helium- filled balloon after the Nebraska Pittsburgh game here, and - got more mileage out of it than he had dreamed.
