Thank Judge Snyder For His Fairness In Perjury Case.

Benton Review. Charles M. Snyder, one of the leading lawyers of the Benton county bar, who presided in the famous Stockton perjury trial at Kentland week before last, was so fair and impartial in his conduct of the case that the attorneys on both sides presented him Avith an autographed letter of thanks. This is the first time in our knowledge where an action of this kind has been taken and speaks very highly of Mr. Snyder. The case was one of those kinds where the outcome rested largely with the rulings of the court and' the questions of law involved jn the case were many and the fact that all the attorneys (among them some of the best in this part of the state) were satisfied, is certainly a feather in Mr. Snyder’s Cap. The following is taken from the White County Democrat. “The case was tried before special judge Charles Snyder, Fowler attorney, and it was his first appearance on the bench. His rulings were so fair and" honest, and his conduct of the case so satisfactory to both sides that before the case was given to the jury the attorneys on both sides united in an autographed letter to Judge Snyder, thanking him for the fair and impartial manner in which he had'presided.”
