NEGRO CONFESSES TO
HEIM 01H
BEUIjGJE OH
Crime Foi*’Which Man Is
Held Most Brutal in
Memphis Annals
(AMoHtted Preii.)
Memphis, tenn., May g.—l. c.
Persona, negro, who late last night
confessed to killing Antoinette Rap
pal, a 15-year-old school girl, and then
decapitated her body, near here sev
eral days ago, It was said, today was
enroute to the penitentiary at Nash
ville where he will be held for safe
keeping.
Persons, according to a statement
by Sheriff Tate, confessed that he at
tacked the girl when she alighted from
her bicycle near where he was work
ing. The first blow from his axe was
a glancing one and only momentarily
dazed her, according to the alleged
confession, and she fought desperate
ly until ehe was felled and her skull
crushed by another blow. Then, the
negro is quoted by the sheriff as hav
j ing said, he beheaded his victim, toss
ed the head Into a thicket and dragged
the body further into the underbrush,
where it was found two days later,
flayer Directs Search.
Persons, the Sheriff declared, direct
ed the search to the axe with which
the murder is alleged to have been
committed, it w*as found In a shallow
stream near the scene of the crime.
According to the sheriff, the negro
stoutly maintained his innocence un
til his attention was called to what
was declared to be bloodstains on his
shoes. When he was told that an ex
amination of the stains showed that
they were of human blood, the negro,
terror stricken, admitted his guilt, of
ficers say, and related the details of
the crime, one of the most brutal in
the annals of this city.
Released for Time.
Persons was arrested shortly after
the girl's body was found, later was
released, but kept under surveillance
until last Saturday, when he was
again taken into custody. His actions
while he was at liberty. It was stat
ed. led to his second arrest.
On the theory advanced by some
criminologists that the eyes of a person
who meets a violent death, often mir
rors the last object viewed, officers
disinterred the girl's body yesterday
and a photograph of one of her eyes
was taken. By means of a microscope,
officers assert, the outline of a man’s
head was discovered In the photo
graph.

8pot cotton quotations remained unchanged
In the Montgomery market Tuesday.
Liverpool closed 10 to 11 higher, against
7 to 9 down due; spots 3 points up; saie3
8,000 bales. Either a worse marine situa
tion or cover!rg against cotton lost at sea
was the reason for this advance, which,
however. Is without beneficial reflection on
the American side, according to a New
Orleans statement.
Washington news saying that the lid has
been put on foreign news sustained a feel
ing of uncertainty, particularly as to de
velopments in Russia. Reports from the In
terior of that vast country are giving cause
for reflection.
Weather conditions continue unfavorable
for the development of the crop. Tempera
tures during the night were too low lately
over the northern half of tlje belt. How
ever, they are not low enough for actual
damage except In a limited portion of the
northwest. General benefleiaj rainfall oc
curred over night In the Atlantics. Indica
tions are for Increasing cloudiness and warm

the central, clearing In the Atlantics. and
cooler 1A the northeastern quarter of the

VEGETABLE PRICES
SHOW NO CHANGES
Quotations on fruit and produce Tuesday i
remained unchanged. A good demand still
continues for Florida vegetables. Apples
are In demand and a car received Monday
was from Washington. Several less-than
carload shipments of Florida vegetables
were received.
The dealers are well supplied and say
that prices insofar as vegetables are con
cerned are less than at the same period
last year.

N. O. COTTON .
NICW ORLEANS. LA.. May 8 —The cold
weather prevailing over the South and the
announcement of jilans for a billion dollar
merchant fleet were features which put cot
ton to higher levels on this market today
In the far* of steady selling, whlcn, at
times, reached large proportions. In the
morning the tone was nervous but It was
firm In th«* afternoon and the clot# was
officially called very steady. Highest prices
were reported late in the day when trad
ing months were at a net advance of 23 to
28 points. Last prices showed a net gain
of 22 t<* 27 points
In the early trading the market rose 10
to 15 points, on the cold weather In the
belt, only to meet liberal selling orders,
which appeared to come about equally from
liquidating longs and bearish traders who
were going short. Short offerings seemed
to Increase as the morning grew older and j
finally all the advance W’as wiped out and
replaced by a net decline of 3 to 4 points !
on most active months.
After the noon hour the market stiffened,
partly on telegrams from the belt telling of
damage to young cotton by the cold, but
more especially on the plans to build a
fleet of merchant vessels which. It was sup- ’
posed would reopen ocean lanes to exports |
of cotton on a free scale once more. Late In
the dav shorts appeared to be the best buy- i
ers and they were forced to assume stiff j
losses In order to get back their cotton. I

GREAT ADVANCE ON
REPORT OF BULLISH
ADVICES ON WHEAT
CHICAGO. May 8.—Well founded predlc
tlona that the government crop report would
prove bullish led to a sensational fresh-'ad
vance today in ths price of wheat. May de
livery Jumped 17 cents a bushed to $3. a
new high record. The market closed un
jettjea and as compared with last night,
to 14 cents up, with May at $2.97 and
July at 32.11 to «2.82%. Com pained 1%
to 114 cents and oats % to l%c. In pro
visions the outcome was a setback of 7
cents to 25 cents.
Trade anticipations of the substance of
rae government crop roport turned out to
he too conservative rather than too radical
•a to wheat. A generally accepted esti
mate before the official figures were avail
able was that the winter crop yield Indi
cated would be less than 400,000.000 bushels
and but few dealers were prepared for the
remarkable small total announced from
Washington after the close, 333,113.000
bushels.
Record-breaking swings upward In the
whsat market began the mument that busi
neae opened and the topmost point reached
was Just before the close. Transactions
were so restricted In volume, however, that
the crowd of brokers In the speculative
Pit had a thlnned-out unembtlonal appear
ance that suggested unusual lack of direct
personal Interest and seemed to tell of a
notable shrinkage of public speculation.
Although the most striking advance was
shown by the May delivery of wheat, the
bulk of trading was In new crop futures,
especially Jyly. That month ascended over
night an extreme of 7^ to I cents.
Corn as well as wheat advanced to a new
high level. Strength appeared to be chiefly
due to the action of wheat. A concern with
seaboard connections led the buying.
Oats sympathised with other grain. Im
proved crop advices, though, tended to check
the rise.
Absence of support weakened provisions.
A little bulge that resulted from an ad
vance in the hog market failed to last.
