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.

Peach, University of Nebraska
