SNYDER IS CAPTURED

Murderer of Mrs. Cloud Caught at Jlis Daughter's Home. Says She Tried to Shoot Him and They Struggled Over the Revolver Where He Wandered. The slayer of Olive Cloud secured fitful rest in the county jail last night. Louis Snyder has not the appearance of a brutal murderer. Ills steel-grey eyes twinkle kindly at times. He is a heavily built man and shows no indications that his life has been one of dissipation. His hair, closely cropped, is abundantly sprinkled with gray. Nearly fifty years old, a causual glance at his face throush the cell bars, naturally dispels the idea that he v. as a sentimental lover. However, he loved the woman he killed with all tho fever of youth. lie doe3 not hesitate to own it and proclaims the fact in a manner that denotes hi3 true feelings. .THE FUGITIVE CAUGHT. Snyder was placed under arrest at 11 o'clock yesterday morning. Detective Frank Wilson found him as he was leaving the door of his daughter, Mrs. McXaught, on East Ohio street. Snyder carried an overCoat on hla arm and was about drawing it on when the detective walked up to him. The fugitive detected the oillcer in the act of drawing his pistol preparatory to an emergency and informed him that the weapon was unnecessary. Further he said that he was then on his way to police headquarters. Detective Wilson with other officers were out early yesterday morning and the former stationed himself at the corner of Washington and State streets, two squares from the home of Snyder's daughter. A few minutes before 11 o'clock the detective was furnished with the Information that the fugitive was at that moment in his daughter's house. Wilson went at once to the locality and found his man. Snyder was perfectly cool until a crowd began to gather. Then he grew a bit nervous and appeared anxious to get away from the place. The detective did not use the handcuffs, but walked at the prisoner's side until a car could be secured. Uoth boarded the car and In five minutes had eluded the following throng and were at police headquarters. Snyder was at once taken to the private ofllce of Superintendent Powell. In a half hour he was escorted over to the jail and located in cell "6" of the men's department This precautionary measure was thought advisable by the chief. Snyder in his story of the killing declares that Olive Cloud was murdered while engaging In a life and death struggle with her lover: that he killed the woman to save his own life. Whether this statement is a truthful one or the plea of a craven coward, there is none to say. The lips of the unfortunate woman have been sealed by death. Her lover alone has the secret of the tragedy In his possession. He scarcely speaks a sentence that he does not declare the love he had for her. Why he killed her, ho does not know. SNYDER'S STORY. "We were both drunk," he declared last night, "and that Is the cause of the trouble. Had I been sober, I should have done what I did many times before, taken the revolver from her." He doe3 not hesitate to talk of the woman and his crime. His story is told in a straightforward and open manner. He says that he has nothing to conceal and wants the truth known. "I am very sorry it happened," he continued with a tremor of the voice, "for I loved Ollie better than any woman In the world. She knew it and I'll tell you the affection was returned. She was passionate and jealous. All these statements about her trying to get rid of me are false. She was never satisfied while I was out of her sight. I did not dare speak of another woman and she was constantly accusing me of infidelity. I knew that she was not true to me. I was In possession of the fact that another man was lavishing money and presents upon her, but she assured me that she did not love him and I was satisfied. Mrs. Cloud wanted me to marry hor, and numerous times asked me if I cared .enough fcr her to legalize our relations by marriage. Invariably I told her that I did. but at the s.im time I explained to hoi that I had not money enough to support her. She was cxtxavagant. and spent a great deal of money on herself, and I felt that we could not live happily on the salary I was receiving as a bartender. I spent n uch of my. time at her home because she said she was never happy unless I was with her. She watched me closely at all times, and we have had many scenes on account of her jealousy. I'll admit that I was also jealous of her. While I owned the saloon at the corrcr of Washington and Oriental streets, she was almost a nightly visitor at the place. She would come down just before I closed, and I always came home with her. When angered she was very violent. She always kept a pistol in her bedrr.cm. and I remember scores of times when sh? has sprung up, grabbed the weapon and swore she would kill me. I was sober then and managed to get the revolver out of her hands before she could do any harm. This was all right, for I knew her disposition and always forgav? her. "My real intimacy with Mrs. Cloud be?an a year ago last June, when I met hor at the Cleveland Club picnic at Fdue river. She had separated from her husband, and roon after this date secured a divorce from him. Since that tl:ne we have been picity constantly together. All last week I worked upon her new house and sp.jnt my itisure time with her. After supper on Saturday night wo prepared to corhe up tewn, Oilie telling me that she wanted to do som. shopping. We left the house bv the kitchen door, and while- passing through the room I remarked that I would leave my revolver. I took the weapon from my pecket, handed it to her and she placed it in the sale drawer. We spent part of the ewnlng .with one of her frirnds, ani started home about 10 o'clock, stopping at Scud lev's dry gvud.i store on Washington ft i ett to pvnvhaie gloves. We next visited the restaurant and saloon of Ferris Sc O'Brien, comer of East and Washington streets. We took a scat at a table in the restaurant and ordered supper. Up to this mcment there had been no trouble between i;s. Ii:ring the meal both of U3 did considerable drinking. At an adjoining table sat one or two women, and while we were there Ollie got the idea that I was paying too much attention to the other 'women. Once sh remarked, 'If you want to talk to the S3 people you had belter go and f it with them.' THEIR A L, LUG ED QUARREL. "I had done nothing that she could object to, but her jealousy got the best of her. She upbraided me, and of course I replied. A few minutes before 11 o'clock we started heme. The quarrel was renewed, and when we reached the bouse the woman was furious. We stepp:d into the kitchen and had just cix'ed the door when she exclaimed that she would shoot me. At least I think tris was what she said. She jumped for the- safe drawer and drew out my r.volver. line is where I made the mistake that was fatal, an 1 if I had been sobc-r I should have ucr.e differently. I e.iuht the pistol with one hind and attempted to hold her with the? other. S ie was a strong woman and I could not disarm her. Then a struggle btjran that end-d in hr death. I turnrd thv muzzle of the revolver toward her. We both had hold of it. and I don't know whether I pulled the trigger cr not. I heard the? shots and h ard her seream. I think the shot in h?r wrist was made while she had hold of the pi.-tol. I don't know how many shots wore tired. I saw her stagger into the sitting room, and 1 started to go cut at the dew. I turnc i back and walked Into th dining room. Hcrj 1 met her son and uskM. 'Whore is she?' "lie i)inted toward the sitting room, and I steod ;i monu-nt and looked at her lying on the tioor. I did not know whether she was dead or not. Then I went out the bad; way to Washington stiwt. I i Kissed tlteun the arsenal grounds and bogan to vtauit-r around. My brain was muddled vMh tb-" r I ? ,1. onirV. and I was j ! dazed. After a while I struck the rail1 road track and started north. 1 walked until 1 got to the town of Nora, aotut 9 I o'olook Sunday morning. I loafiM about j th little village nearly all day, but heard i nothing from this city. The po pie paid ; no particular attention to -mo. and I knew i no one. In the atternoe-n I started aguin, i and arrive! at a small village fix miles this side of NobUsvllle. I dTt remember the town, but it had a 'ville' to it. I was recovering from my curious ondltion, and began to realize that I was In trouble. 1 had seen no papers, and did not think that the affair or Saturday uizrii ik re

sulted seriously. I went to a hotel about dark, went to bed, and slept until 7 o'clock this morning. I had no intention of flying from the scene of my crime, and got a Lake Erie train as soon as I could get one. After arriving here I went directly to the home of my daughter, and when the detective appeared I was just bidding her good-bye and Intended coming down to police headquarters." Snyder spares none of the details In relating the story, and graphically deFcrlbes the moment that he first learneel of the magnitude of his crime. In the little station of the town where he stopped over niirht he sat by the side of a commercial tmveler. who was also waiting' for the cars. The latter drew from his pocket a copy of the Indianapolis Journal, and Snyder was near enough, to look over the shoulder of the reader. The fugitive ran his eye over the page and caught the startling headlines: "No Clew- to Snyder. Yet." He then realized that he was going back to meet overwhelming trouble. The salesman calmly perusei the columns of the paper, apparently deeply interested in the story of SnyJer's crime. The murderpr made no further attempt to see the paier and sought a seat on the side of the room. The police authorities refuse to believe Snyder's entire story. It is not generally thought that he was out of the city at all. His revolver was found yesterday morning in the rear of his daughter's home, on East Ohio street. It is thought by some that the fugitive was the strangely-acting man wdio hovered about the Cloud home on Sunday night, although he asserts that he was not in the vlcinitj. Throughout his statement of the affair he holds to the assertion that the woman was shot in the struggle for the revolver; also, that they were both intoxicated. . DID NOT QUARREL THERE. The statement of John Ferris, one of the proprietors of the restaurant where Snyder and Mrs. CIcud stopped for lunch, 13 contrary to that of Snyder. Mr. Ferris was on duty when the couple came in and sat down at a table. He says that they ate supper and drank sparingly of beer. Mrs. Cloud was served with two small glasses, while Snyder drank large ones. Tie is confident that neither of them was Intoxicated, and Is also sure that they did not quarrel. They talked about the dinner Mrs. Cloud was preparing to give on Sunday, and invited one or two persons in the restaurant. Apparently both were In the best of humor, and the attendants at the restaurant deny the statement that the woman quarreled with her lover because he paid attentions to a guest at another table. They left the place chatting geod-naturedly. Immediately after his arrest Snyder was visited at the Jail by both of his sons-in-law. A number of intimate friends ca'.led to see him. As yet he has made no attempt to employ an attorney. Yesterday afternoon hundreds of people visited the jail with the request to see Snyder. Many of them were women. The prisoner is fortyeight years old. His wife died three years ago. He came to Indianapolis ten years ago from Connersville, where he was then loon ted as superintendent of bridges of the C, H. & D. railway. During the last seven years he has followed the occupation of barkeeper for different saloonmen. At various periods he was in the saloon business for himself, and for a year operated a roadhouse at Woodslde. He is a member of the Order of Equity, of the Odd Fellows, and wears a Masonic pin that Indicates a high elegree In the order. Shortly after his arrest Snyder remarked to detective Wilson that he was advised by a brother Mason to give himself up to the officers. The funeral of his victim will Ik held at 9 o'clock this morning, at the home of the murdered woman. No. 27 South Pine street. The remains will be sent to Bethel for burial.

LECTUIIED A BARBER. Judge Stnfobs Administer a Severe Rebuke to One Harry Rowers. Harry Bowers, a Massachusetts-avenue barber, was given a pointed lecture by Judge Stubbs in the Police Court yesterday morning. A few weeks ago Bowers caused the arrest of a young girl for the theft of a shirt stud from his barber shop and implicated another girl who could not be found at the time. The girl arrested was discharged. Last week the other girl, whose name is Crail, was arrested and arraigned In the Police Court Saturday morning. The main witness for the prosecution was a barber who was in the employ of Bowers at the time of the alleged theft. He had since left Bowers's employ aVid was not in the court room. Bowers said he knew where the barber could be found and was dispatched for him. He never returned to the court room and Judge Stubbs ordered the girl' discharged from custody. He also issued an order to have Bowers brought into court. In obedience to this order he was brought in yesterday morning. Judge Stubbs toltl him there was no affidavit against him, but if there was he should be fined the full extent of the law and sent to the workhouse for the maximum number of days.. He told Bowers he was Informed that "he had been in the habit of enticing young girls into his barber shop. The place, he said, would be closely watched in the future and he advised Bowers to discontinue his practice. Still I'layi. Tid Bits.
