“Besides aid is not what I want, I want a job. I’ve been to Chicago, Nashville, Term., and Alabama seeking employment said Snoddy in a fatigue manner, “and still no one will hire me.” They either tell me no jobs are avaflableor you’ll have to wait for us to call you-and as of yet I have not heard from
anyone.
Explaining that he has come to the end of the line, the 27-year-old Snoddy who has no criminal record threaten that he may just have to rob someone if he cannot find work
soon.
“Eventhough in the process of robbing someone I may get put in jail or killed, at least chances are someone will take care of my family,” Snoddy
said.
Snoddy’s brother who left Indianapolis several months ago, turned his apartment over to Snoddy t however the family may be put out in the next few days because the rent has been
past overdue.
In “their” apartment at 4444 Jamestown Ct., Apt A, the family have been sleeping and eating on the floor for seven months now. The few bed sheets, cloths, and other items they do have were given to them by friends, and just recently the $25 the Recorder donated to the family has all
been spent on food.
Reluctant to take any handouts, Snoddy said he and his family are now forced to. He and his attractive wife, Evelyn both have at least two years of
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 college credits but still no job. Already Snoddy has written a letter to President Carter telling him of their disposition, he also plans to contact local organizations such as the
NAACP for assistance. “There is no reason what-so-
ever why a man who goes off and fight for his country and comes back and can’t find a job, said Snoddy, there are Vietnamese refugees in this country living far better than those men who have fought for his country and was born and raised here.” ,
With the family being behind
in payments, in the next few weeks the Snoddy’s may have to sleep out doors instead on the floor, but Snoddy said before that happens he and his family will go to jail, “at least in jail we will have shelter and
food,” he said.
Though Snoddy once did factory work and said he would never do it again, he now says he’ll do" anything to feed his family. He however, said if he had a choice he would like some' kind of job dealing with people. A former Master Mason of the Prince Hall Affiliation, Snoddy was bought up as a Baptist but as he puts it “since I could not find employment I have ventured in the Muslim Religio;. His three girls, Lashwn, KeeKesha, and Carmetra. ranging from ages one to five all have muslim

Investigators also said the stolen loot from the robbery was found in a trash sack in Youngloa’s home after the initial investigation. The com plaint against the Trinidad native, further states that after an eye witness to the robbery followed Youngloa, police were instructed to the home he entered on north College where Youngloa answered the door in his pajamas - prompting police to suspect his wrongdoing after they noticed he was also wearing socks. Youngloa, currently being he'd in the Marion County Jail, was also said to be a suspect in a series of bank robberies that occurred in the Indianapolis area before December 29. However, Youngloa had not been charged with any of the robberies as of Recorder press time Wednesday. No details were available until after the probably cause hearing Friday. Bond was set at $250,000.

Let’s Get It Together By Nettie Lesfer
DEAR NETTIE: I would like to commend you on your column, (especially the December 10th edition of last year) for the super answers you gave to the young lady ... PLEASE HELP! I would like to say to the young lady, put the mistakes behind you and Jesus in front of you. Everything will be alright. Nettie, you keep up the good work and may God continue to bless and keep you in His love and grace, forever. Sincerely Yours, Ethel Rice
DEAR ETHEL: Thank you for your compliments and encouraging words! Thanks also for the additional advice you gave the other young lady! Please pray that God will continue to use me as one of His tolls in this world! May he also bless and keep you • forever! DEAR READERS: Hare is a bit of caution that should be good for all of us. With the New Year here, many of us have “resolved” to live better lives in 1978 - as customary during this time of the year. - Question: What happened to the resolutions made for 1977? Answer: In most cases, they were canned around February, 1977! Why? They were made customarily, rather than sincerely, thus, why don't each of us who has a supply of broken resolutions stop right in our trades! We should ask God to help us to desire a better Ufa through Him! Ask Him te search the depths of our hearts and fifl every empty spot with km for Hhnl Ask Him to penetrate our minds ae that we can even wake ap with Him heavy on oar
vc N<
minds! Ask Him to take over the “controls” in our life, not as a co-pilot, but as the pilot .. If we can do the above, LOVE in the right direction will finally go into ACTION. THINK!
DESIRE! DO!

DENVER. Colorado Apparently set on keeping down publicity over the impending charges faeging the No. 3 heavyweight boxing contender, authorities here in Jeffersond County have denied they have evidence confirming a fatal shooting incident Ron Lyle was involved in early New Year’s morning was set off because of an argument over a debt between Lyle and the victim, 39-year-old Vernon M. Clark, a former trainer of Lyle’s. Investigators said they have in possession a 9 mm handgun - believed to be the weapon used in the shooting, although the true ownership of the gun has not been determined. Lyle was booked on second - degree murder charges following the incident Sunday morning and released after hearings Tuesday on a $1,000 cash bond. He must further post a $10,000 property bond by mid-week to maintain his freedom. No dates were given for the arraignment and forthcoming pleadings.d The trauma unfolded for the 35-year-old ex-convict, after Lyle and family members were reportedly having a party at Lyle’s home here in suburban Lakewood. According to Jeffer-
son County deputy County Coroner Mike Davidson, Clark died from a bullet wound to the. head, however, it is still very much a question mark just what the motives for the shooting may have been. Sgt. Peter Palmer of the Lakewood Department of Public Safety, said the decision to file second - degree murder charges against Lyle was reached by investigators of the case, and representatives from the district attorney’s office. “We are not sure what the motive is. We took statements from those who were near the scene during the shooting, but we’re just not sure,” said Palmer - commenting toward conflicting accounts that the shooting took place over the debt dispute between Lyle and the slain victim. Clark was fired as Lyle’s trainer following Lyle's match last year with Joe Bugner - a match in which he won. Lyle is scheduledd to fight Larry Holmes of Pennsylvania in
February.
During Tuesday’s court appearance, Lyle was reportedly fairly calm as he stood before Judge James Zimmerman. It was said that Lyle even smiled while leaving the courtroom, and gave a “thumbs-up” ges-
ture to a court spectator - believed to have been an ac-
quaintance.
Lyle’s biggest pay dayd, and perhaps, the most opportune moment as a professional boxer came when he fought heavyweight champion Muhammad Ali to a 11-round stand-off before succumbing in the final round of their scheduled 12-
rounder in mid-1975.
If convicted of the second - degree murderd charges, the slugging-type boxedr faces a sentence ranging from 10 to 50 years - to life. Lyle has experienced prison life. He began boxing while serving a life sentence in the Colorado State Penitentiary during the 60*s. He had been convicted of anslaughter, and given a life sentence for his connection in a murder in the shooting death of a man in a gang fight. Lyle was subsequer*!y paroled in 1969. Since that time he has went to Since that time he has went on to post a current professional
boxing record of 35-5-1.
This is not the first brush with the law Lyle has had since his incarceration was cut short in 1969. In 1975 he was convicted and sentenced to six-months of un-supervised probation in the shooting incident of his estranged wife.
Nadine. According to Attorney Walter Gerash, who is representing Lyle on the murder charges, “we ask for a low bail becaue “We asked for a low bail because we feel the facts of this case represent themselves.” “There’s little doubt that my client was being infringed on in his private rights," said GERASH. Gerash revealed Lyle intends to plead innocent of the charges against him - with a sudpportive self-defense alibi
for the murder. Referring to comments that Lyle and Clark had argued over money Lyle claimed Clark owed • him, Gerash said it’s obvious that Clark was wrong by coming into Lyle’s home. Surrounded by two of his brothers, a sister, and several children, it was reported Lyle immediately phoned a near neighbor (Lt. David Dials) after the shooting. Dial then notified authorities of the fatal shooting.
JAMES CUMMINGS SR. Services for James C. Cummings Sr., 68, 3525 N. Pennsylvania, Apt. J, were held Thursday, Jan. 5 in Summers Capitol Ave. Funeral Chapel with burial in New Crown Cemetery.
