Arrest Two For Murder Of Chicago Diamond Merchant.

Last December in Chicago a diamond merchant named Joseph H. Logue was murdered and his shop robbed. Now two men have been arrested for the job, the information that caused their arrest having been procured from a young lady who was the sweetheart of one of the men. The men are John Faith z and Charles Snyder. Snyder did the job, while Faith was an accomplice. Logue had his shop upstairs and Snyder went there to rob him. After covering Logue with his gun, he feared an outcry and fired, then plunged a knife into the merchant’s body and robbed the safe. Fearing that Logue might recover and be able to identify him he took a bottle of acid from his pocket and poured it into the eyes of the dead broker.
