brate Christmas,
Defense attorneys, always reticent
as to their plans, admitted this morn
ing that they still have number OF
witnesses to be called. These will
be chiefly jail mates of New, jailers
and others who have been in close
touch with him, all testifying in sup
port of the insanity plea.
Testimony Of two leading witnesses
for the defense probably will come
next week.
/ Miss Edna Clancy, News half sis
ter, will be called first News mother,
Mrs. Lily Burger, will follow.
! Attorney LeCompte Davis for the
| defense conferred with Judge Craig
today with regard to published state
ments that before the trial plan
had been offered by the defense
whereby New would plead guilty.

Question of relationship between
Harry S. New, alleged murderer of
Frieda Lesser, and Senator Harry s..
New, Indiana, was deived into deeply
at this mornings session of News
trial.
/ After a deposition by Mrs. Martha
/ Scudder, a sister of Harry New's
mother, had been read, District At
torney Woolwine refused to admit
{ that Senator New Is the defendants
father on the grounds that the depo.
sition contains insufficient proof.
I Mrs. Scudder stated IN, her deposi.
ton that Senator New was Harry
News father. She also revealed that
Mrs. Burger had been married three
1 times. Her first husband was John
I Green, OF Cleveland; her second, Jas.

Burger was the third.

RAW SILK SLUMP
ONLY TEMPORARY
Prices Advance Rapidly After
Decline-Shortage Seems
Likely.

Cablegrsms received in the local raw
silk market yesterday afternoon from
Yokohama indicated that there has been
a rapid rise in the Japanese market fol-
lowing the recent slump. Sinshui No.
was quoted at 2,3S0 yen. this being an
advance of so yen over the last previous
information received here. The Japa-
nese market was reported as being
highly excited andNadvancing rapidly.
All other grades are on a par with
Slnshui, and local dealers advanced their
prices on sales made late yesterday at
figures corresponding with the Yoko-
hama quotations.
Official reports received here are con-
firming earlier estimates. which pointed
to a shortage Of raw silk this season,
taking the world crop as a whole, and
interests believe that It will be only a
few days before prices are back to their
former high levels.
