CORONER’ S JURY SAYS MURDER
The robbing of the Merchants
& Farmers Bank, which is now known
as the First National of Forest Grove,
has once more been brought to front
by the discovery of the skeleton of
Carey D. Snyder, the reckless and
daring youth who was sent out west to
reform, by his millionaire parent.
Snyder’ s past history is one of bad
habits from the beginning, he having
lead a wayward life for years. While
at his father’ s home in Kansas City, he
was implicated in several robberies and
it was in the hope that the son might
get away from the wild ways of the
world that the father sent his son out
to Oregon and purchased for him a
mountain ranch north of
G lencoe.
I While living there, Snyder and his
wife, whom he had met while he was
in jail in Kansas City, she visiting her
brother in that jail, held high “ jinks”
and revelry and it is said that friends
were entertained often and that cham
pagne flowed freely as long as the
checks cam e from the east. After he
had lived there a year,
Snyder’ s
cousin, George Perry, cam e west a
week before the robbery and has not
been seen since. With him came a
stianger, supposed to be Mrs. Snyder’ s
brother, who has also gone to unknown
places.
•
Although the jury’ s work had not
yet been com plete before going to ■
press this afternoon, on good authority Vj
from them county seat, the jury will SB
render a verdict of murder.
It is expected that the evening
papers will have some startling news
on the Snyder case, as it is rumored J
that his wife has revealed a good deal|
of valuable information.
