Nothing" replied the defendant,
"only that am not guilty"
Long betrayed little nervousness and
was apparently as composed as dur
ing his trial. He was taken to the New
Castle County Workhouse and began
his sentence. He will be able to ap-
ply for parole, under the new law,
after serving fifteen years, provided
his conduct in prison has been good
and he gives indication of reform.
Long was in apparently excellent
humor and laughed and joked while
his record was taken and his name
and case were entered on the prison
roll.
Elisha Hudson, 55 years old, was
found murdered in woods near his
home at Selbyville. His head had been
beaten to a pulp with hammer. Rob
berry was alleged to be the motive for
the crime, as an amount, estimated at
81 900 had been stolen from the muir
dered man.
Long was arrested in Wilmington
The day after the murder. His undoing
proved to be the testimony of taxi
driver, Charles Di Salvo, 1901 West
Fourth St., Wilmington, who declared
he had driven Long from Wilmington
to Selbyville in his taxicab on the day
Of the murder.

STORES WILL CLOSE in
RESPECT OF PRESIDENT
Many Of The Milford Places Of
Business Will Be Closed All Day.
Some To Remain Open.

No effort has been made by the
merchants in Milford for concerted
movement toward closing the business
places here today in respect Of our
late President, Warren Gamaliel Hard
ing; but many of the owners have an
nounced that their stores will be clos
ed in accordance with the request of
President Coolidge.
The first announcement from the
merchants came from G. d. Abbott &
Company, Milford's largest department
store, that their store would be clos
ed all day. Others Immediately made
the same announcement. A represen-
tative of The Chronicle called on
number of the merchants and asked
this question: "Will your store be
closed on Friday?" The following mer-
chants answered that their places of
business would be closed: c. D. Abbott
& Co., R. Arthur Derrickson, clothing
merchant; Bennett & Richardson,
clothiers; Pierce Hardware Company;
J. Harry Humes, hardware; Ennis &
Derrickson, shoe store; A. 3. Archer,
shoe store; S. C. Evans, Jr., jeweler;
Lena Stayton Reynolds, dry goods;
Thos. Davis, dry goods; Milford Co.,
Elizabeth Stidham, milli-
ner and the American Store.
Among the manufacturing plants
which will be closed all day are The
L. D. Caulk Company, William V. Sip
pie & Son, and The Milford Chronicle
Company.
Both the Milford Trust Company,
and the First National Bank have an
nounced that they will be closed all
day today.
The stores named above are possi-
ply not all that will be closed for the
lay. Those named are only those the
owners of which stated to the writer
hat their places would be closed.
From a business standpoint Friday
should be a dull day in Milford. Of
course butcher stores, grocery stores,
lrug stores and places of like nature
will of necessity keep oren~at least
)art of the day.
