A SMALL TOWN SNYDER -

as Model.
Ry NEA Service
HOMER, La., Jn. 13. When a
Long Island housewife named
Ruth Snyder plotted with her cor
set salesman lover, Judd Cray, to
club her huxbanit to death, the
echoes of the affair were heard In
the remote confines of the Looisi
ana town of Hayuesville, La., near
here.
They put an idea in the heads
of Kiisha Swilt, ne'er-do-well soft
drink salesnuin, and Mrs. Effie
Jowers, wife ot a small-town store
keeper As a result. J. F. Jowers, the
husband, Is dead, and Mrs. Jowers
and Swift have confessed to his
murder and ai'tf facing trial for
their lives In a crime that is al
most the exact counterpart or the
Snyder-Gray murder except that
it was, if possible, even more sor
did und repellant.

woman who looks
even less like a principal In a
flaming romance than Mrs. Sny

"Swift and I read about the Snyder-Gray
murder. Every detail of
it. Swift thought he could lm
provo on it by hiding tbe- body so
it could never he found. We
thought that Gray and Ruth Sny
der bad made a mistake In leaving
the body where It was."
Swift and Mrs. Jowers had been
maintaining u romance for a year
a romance- fliat everyouo in
town knew about but Jowers.
Swift visited. Mrs. Jowers every
day; when Jowers would come
home boforo bo. left, Swift would
hide in the attic until Jowers had
fallen asleep.
' This might havo gone on in

Island murder given the lovers an
Idea.. So, one night, Swift waited
In the dark attic with more than
his 'usual craft. His son Paul,
boy, Paul: Deputies found Paul at

was a -big 'man, and Swift, who
