WIDOW TESTIFIES IN SNYDER CASE (Continued From Page 1)

she ever told Gray of any uphappiness In the Snyder home. Previous to starting testimony, Edgar A, Hazleton, counsel for Mrs. Snyder, in his opening statement sought to place all blame for the crime on Gray. In opening his case, Gray’s attorney, in turn, shifted the burden to the woman. Denounces Gray • Hazellon, his collar becoming unfastened, his eyeglasses tottering perilously on his nose and his voice rising in fury, denounced Gray as a heartless slayer who induced Mrs. Snyder to murder her husband against her will. “We will prove that Judd Gray wan Che motivating cause of this murder; that he was completely broke, and that what he had in mind was the insurance money,” Hazelton shouted. He accused Gray of tempting Mrs. Snyder to murder by sending her poison, which she never used; that he sent her the window weight with which the actual killing was done and told her to place it under her husband's pillow; that Gray came to the house the night of the murder arid met her when she returned from a party. Resorts to Dialogue He quoted the following dialogue: Gray: “You don’t want me to go through with this, do you, mommie?” Mrs. Snyder: “No, Judd, of course not.” Gray: “I know you don’t, but by God, I’m going to.” Then, said Hazleton, she argued her lover out of it. They went downstairs and talked. But when Mrs. Snyder came upstairs and went into the bathroom. “She heard a thud and rushed into the bedroom.” “There she saw Judd Gray strike Albert Snyder. x ' J once, but many times. And Albert Snyder never once moved after Judd Gray first hit him.” Woman Excited Her lawyer’s excitement was communicated to Mrs. Snyder. She watched Hazleton closely and from time to timo nodded in agreement as the attorney advanced her case. “Mrs. Snyder came and looked,” Hazleton went on. “Judd Gray pushed her and she fell. She faints easily. And when she arose she saw the marks of bloody fingers on her gown. “Gray frightened her by telling ■ how blood would be found on her clothing and she. too, would be suspected. She believed him and it was then that they conceived the idea of upsetting the house and making the scene resemble a robbery. “After her husband was dead, Mrs. Snyder could not restrain Gray from going upstairs and murdering him again. He took the picture wire and inverted a pencil in it. He twisted the wire around die neck of a dead j man!” “Always after money—that was j Judd Gray. "And when it was all over, Gray said to Mrs. Snyder: ! “I’m not going o see you for two months—it may take that long to collect the insurance.” “That was the first time Mrs. Snyder learned her lover’s true motive. Me wanted Albert Snyder dead to live off his insurance.” Charges Confession Forced Hazleton then charged that Mrs. Snyder’s confession had been forced from her by bullying detectives, and concluded with the impassioned plea: “Woman is as God makes her if it be not for a man. And Mrs. Snyder would have been as God made her were It not for an incompatible husband and this deceiver, Gray. Yes, this Gray, who was untrue to his own wife, stole another man’s wife, killed her husband, and then, like ihe coward he is, squealed and threw the blame on his mistress.” “A Human Serpent” Samuel L. Miller, counsel for Gray, then addressed the jury and reversed the attack, denouncing Mrs. Snyder as “a human serpent,” who dominated Gray and forced him to commit a murder he would never have done in his right mind. He said he would prove that Mrs. Snyder did the actual killing. “We will show you that Gray

could not have been sane when tills murder was committed," Miller said. “We will show you he was hopelessly intoxicated.” For the first time the nature of Gray’s defense came into the trial. “And we will show he was driven into this thing by a mind not his own.” Ruled by Woman Miller dramatically outlined how he would prove that Gray was “hopelessly drunk” at the time of the murder and that he was under complete dominance of the “stronger mind and will of this malicious woman.” “Judd Gray will take the witness stand and he will tell you every detail of his life. You will see that he could not have done this thing were he in his rational mind. “He was dominated by a human sc: pent." GETS ‘GRAND DISPLAY’ Poolroom Raid Reveals “Complete Ticket Set,” Charged. What Sergt. John Eisenhut termed “a grand display of baseball pool ticket selling equipment,” was seized late Thursday, when he raided the poolroom of Joe Mitchell, Negro, 410 Indiana Ave. The stock, he said, consisted of baseball tickets, books for tabulating, rubber stamps and $4.90 in money. Mitchell and Luke Sawyer, Negro, of 509 N. Senate Ave., who Eisenhut said was in charge of the sale of the tickets, were charged with operating a baseball pool and keeping a gambling device. CATCH RUNAWAYS HERE Louisville Roys Come to Indianapolis to “Make Own Way.” Two youths who ran away from their homes in Louisville, Ky., were caught here Thursday night. Mrs. Helen Dennis, 519 W. New York St., said her fester brother, Robert Dennison. 12, came to her home accompanied by Basil Hunter, 14. Both boys complained of mistreatment and said they came here to \“make their ways.” Hunter was taken to the detention home to await word from Kentucky authorities. WAS ALMOST PAST GOING Weak and Run-Down Missouri Woman Now Strong and Well. Cardui Starts Her on Road To Health. Mrs. T. G. Harris, of Clarksburg, Mo., says: “For two years T was in very poor health. Some of the time I was almost past going. 1 was very weak and run-down. “I tried to make the most of what little strength I had by taking frequent rests, but I could find nothing which would start me on the road to health again, until one day I decided to try Cardui. “I had heard about other women who had been benefited after taking it, so I made up my mind to see what it would do for me. I took Cardui for several months and was very much gratified with the results. “I began to do my own work again, which 1 had not been able to do for a long time past. My color, which had been pale and sallow, became natural, and my complexion cleared up. I gained in weight and was pleased to have an improved appetite. ■ “When I finished my last bottle of CanUii I was feeling better than I had in years. Now lam strong and well."
