The swarthy complexion of hfs face may have been due to the hot climate of the Philippines, but I am certain he was not an American. "He would not tell me where he went to school. His education was above the average. He seemed to be poBted on many subjects and I believe he was schooled for a profession which he did not follow here." Not In The Kitchen.

"How do you suppose he could have committed the crime without leaving' some trace of blood about the kitchen ! or where It was committed?" was ask-1 ed Mrs. Dayton by a Palladium repor-j ter. "I have not the slightest idea," she i replied, "and I do not believe he killed j my husband In the kitchen, as we plainly heard the door slam when my j husband left the house at 4 o'c lock of j the morning he met his fate. We rIso J saw footprints in the heavy frost." ; "Who prepared his breakfast?" she was asked. "No one. He arose at 4 o'clock and J told me not to get up, as there was i plenty of food cooked. I was sleeping i in the front room downstairs and my j husband was Bleeping upstairs. Snyder ; was sleeping upstairs, but not in the i same room with my husband. It was i dark when my husband came into the ! room, but I am sure it could have been i no one else, as I recognized his voice. Wife's Theory. j "Snyder may have sneaked down , stairs in his stocking feet and struck I my husband after he left the house. ! He could have easily mopped away j the blood and hidden all traces of the crime. If the crime had been commit- j ted in the kitchen I probably would , have heard the blow struck or seen ' some signs after the murder had been j committed. "I tell you my life has been one of I

Fits Into Cleft. The hatchet which was picked up at the house was taken to the city building and the head of it. compared with the cleft in the skull of the victim. The hatchet head fitted exactly into the cleft, convincing the police that the murder had been committed with this instrument. The skeleton of Dayton is in the custody of the police at headquarters and will remain there until the coroner ha.s concluded his investigation. Chief Gormon asked Mrs. Dayton when it was she read the letter containing the confession of Snyder. Shy replied, '"One day last week."
