MRS. SNYDER
SAYS SHE BELIEVES THAT
GEORGE PERRY MURDER
ED HER HUSBAND.
His Motive for the Crime Was to
Hash Forever tbe Lips Thut
' Could Tell of Perrv'e Guilt
in Robbing the Forest
Grove Bank.
Portlnnd, Oct." 14 Portland
JoiiiiimI: There was only one mo
tive for tne murder of Carey M.
Soydtr, tne myetery of whosedeath
may yet be solved, and there is only
one pi r-on who could have done
the deed, sccordiog to Mrs. Madge
Snyder, widow of the young man
wbofe remains were found in aloDe
ly thicket near Glencoe two weeks
ago."
Thai pereon was George Ptrry,
Mrs. Snyder believes, and the mo
tive for tbe crime was to lorever
hush the story of his guilt in con
nection with the Forest Grove bank
robbery. Sj she told District At
Un ey Harrison Allen, his deputy,
T. H. Tongue, . and Detective
Vaughn during the secret inquisi
tion at the Portland hotel yesterday
afternoon.
Mrs. Snyder's assertions are cor
roborated by A. E. Cooper of Kan
sas City, personal attorney for R.
M. Snyder, father of the murdered
man. In an interview with the
Journal yesterday Mr. Cooper, who
has consulted with both Mrs. Sny
der and the dead man's father with
reference to the case, said:
"There was only one , motive for
the crime, and there is only one
person who could have killed Ca
rey Snyder. I . will not Bay who
the persm was, or what tbe motive
wa?, but Mrs. Snyder knows and
she will tell."
When shown the attorney's stata-
mpnt last nigM, she expressed her
othtf m Peiry's. guilt, and said
that, so far as she knew, there could
have been no other motive tnan a
desire on the part of tbe robbers of
tbe bank to close tbe lips of one
who knew of their guilt,
At yesterday's icquitition Mrs
Snyder, whose sphynx-like silence
durinp tbe past week has caused no
end of worry to Washington county
officials' relented sufficiently to ex
press her belief in Perry 's guilt and
at tbe same time gave her reasons
for her belief. . Her testimony may
be Sufficient to convict her husband's
slayers. -. -, - .
'As a result of their efforts to ex
tort tbe woman'a Etory from her,
officials last night declared that
they had by no means ended their
investigations. Though no official
elatemant was given out with ref
erence to what transpired during
the secret session, it is stated that
a warrant is to be Issued for Perry's
arrest. It is also said that instruc
tions were wired to ; Kansas City
last night to prevent bis escape
from that city, if he has not already
departed.
The widow of the murdered man
also expressed her belief that Perry
had lett Kansas Uity on reading tbe
newspaper accounts of the crime
and his alleged connection with it.
She declared the statement that
Perry was Snyder's cousin was er
roneous, saying that there was no
relationship between the two men.
He visited at their home near Glen
coe before the bank robbery, she
Baid, and had hot been seen since
the! disappearance of her husband.
In their efforts to clear away the
mystery surrounding tbe double
crime, officers have been unable gto
establish the identity of the other
man who is said to have taken part
in tbe bank robbery and the mur
der of Snyder. For a time it was
believed that Leonard Bell, a noted
nitroglycerine artiet, who has fig
ured in numerous crimes, may have
been here at tbe tirrje. Information
from Kansas Citv, however, is to
tbe effect that he was confined in
tbe state penitentiary at tbe time
ot the Forest Grove bank robbery
and the murder of Snyder. -
Officials who are conducting the
investigation express themselves as
fairly satisfied with the result of
yesterday's interview with Mrs.
Snyder. However tkey refuse to
state just what action will be taken
as tbe result cf tbe light the woman
threw upon the crimes.
A. L. Cooper, attorney for R. M.
Snyder, denies that his client has
f-ealed the lips of the widow. He
declares that tbe elder Snyder is
desirous of bringing the murderers
to trial. The Journal received the
following from Kansas City last
nigbt:
Kansas City, Mo., Oct. 13. R.
M. Snyder is out of the city. A. L.
Cooper, personal attorney for Sny
der, also Carey Soyder's attorney
in the robbery trials here, says he
is assured no conditiens or restric
tions were imposed on the widow
of her telling the facts as she un
ders'ands tbem before she left Kan
sas City for Oregon.
Cooptr and Snyder talked to the
wlc!ow in Cooper's .office before she
left. Snyder is desirous of -haviEg
bis eon s slayer brought to justice
Cooper-says that thera was only
one motive and only one pereon
who could have killed Carey. He
wouldn't eay who the pereon was
or what the motlvp, but eays the
widow can tell, ihe lawyer eays
Mr. Snyder beard of conversations
between Carey atd a companion in
which Caiey iefufed to enter into
the bank robberw, although be was
urged to do so. Cooper is sure Sny
der didn't seal the widow s hps be
fore she left Kansas City. He says
that if sue restrictions have been
placed on her ttev must be with
drawn.
Philadelphia, Oct. I3. Subway
workmen digging a ditch in tbe
atreet for the new tunnel station
uncovered at a depth of 100 feet
what clearly is an old slave prison.
The pen is composed of narrow cells
in three tiers, with three-foot corri
dors between tbe heavy walls.
Heavy iron bars covered the wind
ows, and in each cell were manacle
supports. Directly above the cells
is tbe houee of Stephen Guard, the
eccentric millionaire, who gave Gi
rard college to Philadelphia, and
whose estate is now valued at hun
dreds of millions. It was in tear
irg down the house, which the Trac
tion Co.had bought from tbe Uirard
trust, that tbe workmen cameacroes
the prison.
It has long been banded down in
local history that Girard drove a
brisk elava tiade and that some of
his fortune came from dealing , in
negroee. As soon, as the discovery
was made the board of trustees pi
Girard trust flocked down to the
dungeons. They were not allowed
to examine them, but will be per
mitted to do so tomorrow. The
cells run six to a tier, each is large
enough to hold six men packed in
closely. .
Chitago, 111., Oct. I3. Capital
punishment will be abolished in
Cook county regardless of the law
or jury verdict if John J. Fitzpat
rick, the Progressive Alliance can
didate for sheriff, is elected, for he
made such an ante-election promiee.
He is president of the Chicago Fed
eration of Labor, which is on record
against the death penalty for any
crime, and announced his determ
ination to refuse to carry out any
death sentence if he became sheriff.
"Organized labor everywhere,"
he said, "stands for the abolishing
of capital punishment and if I am
sheriff I will do my best to further

Two Bullets Penetrated
Het Brain Makes No
Secret of Crime.
Cleveland, O., Oat. 10. In the
presence of 16 pupils in tbe South
Euclid School, Harry Smith, 2?
years old, shot to death Mies Mary
Shepard, a teacher, 22 years old,
this afternoon. . Cornered behind
the barn in the rear of his home in
Warrensville two hours later,
Smith shot himself through the
head, dving instantly. Four Cleve
land policemen, with drawn revolv
ers and under cover cf eight armed
farmers, were about to rush on
young Smith when he ended his
life. .
Disappointment in love ib said to
have been the motive for the mur
der. Socith, who was a fourthcout
in of Miss Shepard,-bad wooed her
for some time and recently was re
jected. He brooded over the un
happy en ling of bis courtship, and
this afternoon, first quitting his po
sition, bought a revolver and went
to the South Euclid school. Miss
Shepard responded to his knock at
tbe door, lie walked in and tor a
few moments talked to her in the
hall. Suddenly be whipped out hi
revolver, ehoved it against her head
and fired twice in rapid succassion,
both bullets crashing through her
brain.
Panic spread among the pupils,
who rushed but of tbe buildinu
ecreaming. Seme of the girls faint
ed. i Smith leisurely walked out and
boarded a car for Warrensville.
The news of the crime spread like
wild fire and in less than half an
hour an armed posse formed and
was in full pureuit. The identity
of the murderer was quickly estab
lished. On the suburban car Smith
confessed to tbe conductoi that he
had killed Miss Shepard, and re
marked that "they will have to kill
me to get me."
; Reaching borne but a few min
utes before the arrival of the posse
and police, Smith told his father ol
the crime. When his pursuers came
in sight tbe youDg man became
highly nervous and ran from the
house 'o tbe rear of the barn. A
loaded double-barreled shotgun was
leaoing inside of tbe house, but was
passed by emith, who evidently bad
determined not to put up a fight,
but to end his life as soon as he
wan surrounded.
When the poeee got within a few
feet of him, calling for bim to sur
render, as the four officers were pre
paring to effect his capture, he
plac d the revolver against his
bead end blew out his brains.
Washington, D. C, Oct. 12.
United States; attorney for the dis
trict of Columbia has informed the
department of justice that tbe Hyde
Benson laiid fraud criminal cases
cannot be beard before December.
They were pet down for heering
dnriDg tr e October term, but no ac
tion will be taken by the govern
ment in civil suits to cancel land
natents until the criminal cases are,
tried. f
Binzer H-tmann, it appears, is
about to have another lease on life,
and the Hyde-Benson land fraud-
ists are in all probability to enjoy a
longer period before tbe strenuous
days of the Washington trial come.
The Oregon land case?", however, in
the opinion of United States Dis
trict Attorney Bristol, will not be
delayed, langer- than has rlready
been announced, by tbe new turn
in tbe Hyde-Benson cases in Wast -ington.
