CAREY SNYDER'S CAREER
The Kansas City, Mo., Journal, of
recent date, gives the following as
the career of Carey 1). Snyder,
whose body was found near Glen
coe early this month:
Carev Snvder'a rmcpr wa a Mi-!?,!
one. fie win reared in Kansas Citv, and
though indulged in every way by his
father, began getting in trouble at an
early age. Ilia most sensational and
probably greatest criminal act was when
he and a "pal," on the night of .May 1,
1902, held up aud robbed U. 11. Stevens,
a pawnbroker. Snyder and W. T.
Grimes, a Platte county farmer's son,
were accused of robbing 'the pawnbroker
and his wife of $6,750 worth of diamonds
in front of Stevens' home, 2532 T roost
avenue, about 1 1 :3o o'clock the night of
May 1, 1901.
The robbery was particularly well
planned aud bold in execution. The
highwayuieu telephoned to the house
during the evening and a servant girl
answered the 'phone. The person ask
ed if Mr, Stevens was at home, aud up
on being told that he was not, asked
where he was. The girl told the man
that her employer was at the theater
with his wife. The two men theu went
to Twenty-fifth street and Troost avenue,
where they waited for Steveus' return.
When he alighted from the car tliev
held him up at the point of a revolver
and took the following jewels: Two di
amond rings, 2i carats each, worth
$1,500 each; one diamond stud, valued
at $2,100; one diamond ring, worth
f l.ooo; aud a repeating watch, valued at
$050; the value ot all thejewelrv being
fixed by Mr. Steveus at $6,750.
When the highwaymen first showed
themselves, Stevens claimed he started
to light them, but uiawife begged him to
give up the jewelry for fear he would be
killed. He was able to give au accurate
description of the two men, and Snyder
and Grimes were arrested soon after iu
Clay county and brought to Kansas
City.
For this act Suyder was tried before
Judge Wofford and sentenced to three
years in the penitentiary. A stay of exe
cution was given him on condition that
he appear before the court at stated
times to explaiu his behavior. This or
der was to be effective during the entire
term of the three years' sentence. The
parole was given on the condition of
Snyder's leading an honest and upright
life, a violation of which would render
hia parole void and himseli liable to ar
rest. The last time young Snyder re
ported to Judge WoiVord was on Sep
tember 5, and then his father prevailed
upou the judge to remove the order com
pelling hia son to report at regular in
tervals and allow him to go to Oregon,
where he agreed to establish 'Jie bov up
on a cattle ranch. He married before
leaving.
