Additional evidence in support of the
complaint that local bakers are decreas-
ing the size of the wrapped loaves Of
bread was secured yesterday afternoon
when tests of specimens of the output Of
the Havenner Baking Company were con-

LEGATION yesterday morning in The Herald
of the results of officiaI tests conducted
by Col. Haskell on Saturday at the re-
quest Of representatives of the paper.
The experiments undertaken then showed
that three of the four bakeries from
which specimens were secured. were SELL
ing their wrapped bread in loaves smaller
than those OF the unsealed product.
Yesterday bread from the Havenner
and Schneider bakeries was taken to
the District Building for test. The weigh
ing of Havenner's Takoma bread revealed
the fact that the wrapped product was
fully half an ounce lighter than the
unsealed article. The former weighed
Is 12-ls ounces. and the latter tipped the
scales at II 4-16 ounces.
The bread from the Schneider bakery
was unusually well balanced with re-
spect to weight: in fact. the wrapped
loaf weighed an eighth of an ounce more
than the bare article. The former
nroved m he II Ia-,s ounce. ,nd 81. I.,
ter weighed 1I11-Is ounce.
The scarcity Of the amount Of wrap
ped bread placed on the market was en-
phasized yesterday. when an attempt
was made by a representative of The
Herald u purchase specimen loaves.
Four stores in a downtown section of
the city were visited before a loaf of
the wrapped kind of Havenner,s bread

TAKE
STAND in own
Defense

Each of the three Filipinos held for
the murder of the Chinese couple at
the Kahauiki grocery is taking the
witness stand in his own defense. as
forecast in the Star-B Bulletin last Sat
urday. Celestino. the fourth member
OF the gang. who pleaded guilty to the
charge of murder in the second de-
gree last week. completed his testi-
mony this morning. as did Domingo
Rodrigues, while Hildo Baubista's
story was told in part. the court adj
journing at 1890 o'clock until $3.50
tomorrow morning
The stories of each, as told thus
far. have been substantially as relaf-
ed to the authorities. and seem to
confirm the police theory Of Domingo
Rodrigues' leadership In the gruesome
affair.
As expected. each Is telling a diff
ferent story, insofar as his own share
in the crime is concerned. But Celes-
tino and Hildo agree that Domingo
led and did most Of the actual stab,
bling.
Celestino does not lay claim to en-
tire Innocence, but bases his actions
as done in self defense. He admitted
he had stabbed Lui All Ken. the
Chinaman, once. But he says that was
after the man was probably dead, and
that he did so only because Domingo
had given the order with warning
that If he did not stab, as the others
had done, something would happen
to him" He told. at another time,
of the plot arranged some three
weeks before the robbery. asserting
the original suggestion and plans for
its contamination had come from Do
mingo. He admitted to rifiing the
cash drawer. He said this $40 was
the only cash the gang obtained TOT
their double murder. There was 9
safe in the rear room, where Lum Lin.
the woman, was slain, but the Fill
pinos were unable to open It.
Domingo took the witness stand
with an air of bravado. and unlike Ce-
lestino and Hildo. told his story and
replied to all queries In English. with
only an occasional word Of assistance
by the court interpreter. He talked
very boldly and freely of the murder,
admitting he had hand In Z, but
asserting that Hlldo had struck the
first blow, stabbing Lui All Ken IN
the side with a dagger. At the same
time, he declared, the other two had
run to the rear room, where they slew
the woman
Hildo's testimony is to the effect that
he met the gang on its way to the
grocery, was compelled to join them,
