THE SLAYER OF HENRY DAYTON IS STILL AT LARGE Neighbor Tells Police She Detected Horrible Stench Months After the BodyWas Buried.

(Continued from Face One.) and compare it with the signature of letters which Snyder had written. Saw A Fight. Mrs. Cordell. the nearest neighbor, said today: "Snyder seemed to treat i Mrs Davtnn with consideration, ai though I once witnessed an ugly scene between them. I saw Mrs. Dayton lying on the couch with a revolver leveled at Snyder's head. She appeared to be drunk, as she was unable to get up. This was three weeks ago. Snyder told me not to pay any attention to her as she was out of her head. I did not want to interfere with the affairs of the family and when I asked Mrs. Dayton if I should tell the police she said no. When things seemed quiet I went away. "I had a caller a few minutes after I got home and we were talking about the affair when the same child who came for me the first time came again asking me to help her mother. I told her I wanted nothing to do with the affair. She went home and told her mother and then came back crying. Saw Principals. "I then went with Mrs. Sitloh, my caller, to the front window as I thought the woman might need help. We looked in and saw Snyder standing over the woman, his face covered with blood and his shirt torn off his back, lie had a razor strop in his hand and she had a broom stick. She did not have the revolver and I thought he had taken it away from her. Her clothing was torn and both looked as if they had had a terrible struggle. "As soon as Snyder saw us he told her to stop, as there was a strange woman at the window. They stopped, and Snyder told us that Mrs. Dayton was out of her mind. Her children always obeyed Snyder. He would whip them and abuse them if they did not do as he ordered them. They regarded him as if he were a relative. They obeyed him better than their mother, i Last Conversation. On Wednesday of last week I was called over to the home by Mrs. Dayton. She said that she could not recall any of the incidents of the struggle three weeks ago. She said she was out of her mind. She told me thaf. Snyder had some private papers which she wanted to obtain. She finally had forced him to show the papers and that was what started the argument. She said she was afraid of Snyder because of the many things of which he was accused. When he finally showed her ! the mvsterious nackaee it uroved to 1 be his discharge papers from the ar my.' Mrs. Cordell said that for weeks Mrs. Dayton never left the house and j Avould not even go into the back yard. "She would stay at home the same as Snyder. Neither associated with the neighbors." Cause of Trouble. Mrs. Dayton today said that the cause of the dissatisfaction between her husband and herself was an incurable disease with which he had suffered for years, causing him to become almost blind and deaf. He had to be led back and forth from work." "How did you expect him to go into the country to look for work if he could not see any better than this?" was asked. "I supposed he would feel his way along, as he did some days when one of the children did not go to the factory to lead him home." she replied, Did Not Love Him. "Snyder was never in love with me We always treated him as a brother, lie was kind to the children at times and would always wait on the table. I never loved him. He often paid his board bill in advance and sometimes would help pay the family expenses. Before he left he owed me three weeks' board. "He often went to the depot and got time tables and would tell us about his travels. He was particularly pleased when talking about Snake riv er in Arizona. He was familiar with every part of that state. He told me he was born two miles west of the Soldiers' Home near Dayton. He became very

angry when one of his maps was destroyed. He evidently was planning to go somewhere. "He left the house five times at my command. Each time he would go to my husband at the factory where he was working and plead with him to allow him to return. My husband always referred him to me. He would then come home with a basketful of groceries and would treat the children so kindly that I could not turn him away. He always treated me kindly, and I did not suspect him until he placed poison in our food. His intimacy with a physician and his continual talking about drugs made me suspect hira when we w ere all taken sick." Paid Insurance. "Long before my husband disappeared my sister kept up the insurance policy. My husband only paid one installment and could not pay the rest. She knows none of the particulars of the crime. My husband and 1 quarrelled the day before he disappeared, because, at the suggestion of the landlord, I told Snyder to cut down some worthless fruit trees. He did it. and when my husband came home he cursed us. I tried to quiet him saying that Joe did the job at the landlord's order. He blamed Snyder, and Snyder became very angry but controlled his temper and started to w ash the dishes. He did not say a cross word to my husband at this time." 4 "How did your home happen to catch

fire when you lived in the country?"'

she was asked "My husband was the only one in the house at the time. He was veryangry with me because I bought a piano when the farm was mortgaged. I worked hard on the farm and was entitled to some rights. He hated music and would rave like a maniac whenever we played the piano. I believe he set fire to the farm house for spite work. The piano was the only article of furniture that was insured. Covered the Body. Mrs. Dayton said she believed it was when she went to the theater that Snyder placed the lime over the body. "I would often go to the shows and he would stay at home and take care of the children. The night of my husband's disappearance I kept his supper in the oven all night and it was not taken out until Snyder got up to get breakfast the next morning. Saw Husband. "Snyder said he thought my husDan(i had gone to live with his mother in Virginia, Later ne toia me or sev eral people who had seen my husband after he left. There is a man in this city who resembles him and it might have been this man who was mistaken for my husband. Even when the assessor came to my house he told me he had seen my husband on the street, but if he had deserted me he would not make an assessment on my property. Several people reported to me that they had seen him. "All the boarders were afraid of Snyder. They were kept away many times by his actions. He did not associate with them, and did not want me to associate with anyone. Maybe he thought I would tell something that would be harmful to him. He encouraged me to lead a life of solitude." Dayton's Relatives. Dayton is survived by his brother, Albert Dayton, and his mother. His family lives in Ohio near the West Virginia line. He was born in West Virginia. He also had three children, Dorothy, Willard and Daisy, whose ages range from two to seven. Dayton objected to supporting the children of his wife's first husband, who are Archie Bowles and Mrs. Lily Zurwell. He often quarreled about this and separated from Mrs. Dalton five times on account of it. Left Her Often. "Snyder always hated my husband and caused trouble between us whenever he could," said Mrs. Dayton, though I get along better without my husband than I did with him. When he left the house on Sept. 5 and did not return, I did not think it unusual, as he said he might not be home that night and if he did return it would be late. Until nearly midnight I kept his supper warm and waited patiently for him. I worried a great deal about him, but never thought that he was murdered. 1 thought after he failed to come home that he had deserted me, as he had on other occasions." My relatives are a sister and a brother, Mrs. Alice Snyder and Henry Enslow, of this city, and my mother, Mrs. Clara Enslow. The attending physician and Chief Gormon scout the theory that Snyder was trying to poison the family. If he had wanted to ao mis tne ponce say, he could have done so easily and without the least trouble. He worked in a hospital at one time and was acquainted with poisons. Mrs. Dayton said she thought her son Willard had been poisoned last week, but the fam ily physician said it was a case of bronchitis and no symptoms of poison were exhibited by the child.

WILDS OF ENGLAND.

Devonshire's Rolling Slopes Are a Wilderness In Winter. The western quarter of England has set of literary associations second, to no other district, not even the tar famed likes of Cumberland and Westmoreland. The "QuiMer-Couch country." which is Cornwall; the "Blackmore country." which is North Devon; the "Kingsley country." wlilcb Is nil Devonshire, and the "Hardy country." which is Dorset, will be ,ouud underrated rather than oierraied In beauty and Interest, which are greatly increased by their associations with "Lorna Doone" or "Tess of the d'UrberviUes." The two Ere", t Devonshire towns Exnioor and Dartmoor are particularly beautiful and offer a happy hunting ground to the artist. It seems strange that spaces of such wiMtiess evist within the restrained and highly cultivated boundaries of southern Uus land. The casual visitor would hud It difficnit to believe that ou these splendid rolling slopes, purple with heather in August, people go astray and die of starvation every winter. No visitor to England can afford to mis-s a visit to Devonshire, which around May especially is one of the most beautiful bits of country In Europe. Exchange. UNWRITTEN BOOKS. Thatk.ray and Conan Doyle Both Found Themselves Forestalled. Dow strange are literary coincidences occasionally Is illustrated In the case of Thackeray and Dumas. Thackeray says: "I came near writlac a book on the same subject. 'Les Trols Mousquetnires." and taking M. d'Artagnao for my hero. D'Artagnaa was n real character of the age of Louis XIV. and wrote his own memoirs. I remember picking up n dinsy copy of them on an old bookstall in London, price sixpence, and intended to make some thing of It. But Dumas got ahead of me. He snaps up everything." A coincidence quite as remarkable occurred with Sir Conan Doyle for central figure. He learned while spending a holiday to a mountain Inn in Switrerland that during the winter months for some reason two men remained in occupation. For four or five months they were Isolated from the rest of the world. Suppose one of them went mad or committed suicide or The possibilities were endles. lie forthwith determined to embody the idea in a story. On his way home he happened to pick up a book of tales by Maupassant. There, in it. under the title "L'Anberge," be fouud himself forestalled In every particular. The World famous

WOMEN IN PORTUGAL.

They Do AH the Hard Work WhiU Lazy Men Loll and Smoks, The lot of women tu Portugal is not an enviable one. according to Mr. Aubrey F. C Bell, who in his book. "In Portugal." thus describes the labor that falls to their share: "Portuguese men are so notoriously Indolent that It is uo exaggeration to say that two-thirds of the work of Portugal is done by women. To th"m the Portuguese word uiourejar is really applicable, since, in fact, they work like Moors or slaves. They work In the fields and appear to bear the brunt of the labor. "In one field the woman la the heat of the day draws up bucket after bucket of water while the man sits perched in a shady olive tree. In the neighboring field a man watdio lx women at work among the maire. In a third a group of women start) working in the summer sun while a group of men sit at the name work under a vine trellis "Everywhere are to be seen women with huge loads of Immense weight, while the meu accompany them empty handed. The man lies in his ox cart and must have a cigarro and a cone of wine or brandy after his hard day's work, or be sits nt his couuter and bids his wife go out into the cruel vunshine to fetch a heavy bl'ten of water or other provisions. Women work la the quarries. Women row heavy barges. Wherever there Is hard work women are to be fouud." The Glad Hs. Among the ltasntos and also with the natives of the New Hebrides hissing is a sign Of applause. TURKEYS And All Kinds of Poultry. EWBANK'S GROCERY 201 Linden Avenue. Phone 3120.
