SHYDER TELLS HER STORY NOT ENOUGH TO CONVICT Perry and Roger .. Snyder, Sr., Killed In Aetemsbila Accident Last Satyr sy. Mrs. Carey M. Snyder was in Ililbiboro all day Saturday, sum moned here on a subpoena, and in consultation with Deputy Dis trict Attorney Tongue until the af ternoon train, wbeu she went to Portland. In tQ evening she granted an interview with an Ore gonian reporter, which follows, and it probably the truth about the mystery surrounding the death of her husband, so far as she knows. The news of the death of her hus band's father in an automobile acci dent at Kansas City, reached her while talking with the reporter. It seems that she has about as much trouble as one woman can bear, but she is holding up bravely through them all. Her first husband was killed by her own brother, her sec ond husband was murdered near TJlencoe, and now comes the news of the death in an automobile acci dent of R. M. Snyder, Carey Sny der's father. TheOregonianofSuu- day morniug contained the follow ing: Admitting the connection of her murdered husband, Carey M. Sny der, with the plot to rob the Forest Grove bank and witli other crimes, projected, but wver carried out, Mrs. Madge Snyder baturday night told what she asserts to be all the circumstances so tar as sue knows them, surrounding the sensational Washington county murder, which the officers of the law have been probing for months past. She de clared that George Perry and a man named Rodeers robbed the bank aud that her husband had planned to take a handji (be crime, al though the others tvl vhe job with out him, and afterwault killed him because of his knowledge of the af fair. For weeks Mrs Snydet has poi- tively refused to say anything which would link her husband's name with the bank robbery, or any other crime, but sue now ireely admits his connection with it. Her changed attitude she attributes to the action of R. M. Snyder, her lather in law, who was accidentally killed in Kan sas City yesterday. "I refuse to connect my husband with the robbery, she said last night at the Hotel Portland, "be cause K. M. anyaer askea me to say nothing which would put a stigma on the Snyder name. While writing me letters to show the offi cials, in which he told me to tell verything, he also sent me private letters, asking me to keep Carey's name out of it. I did so, thinking he was acting in good faith toward me, but I lound later that he had written to the officials telling them to investigate my relations with George Perry. This was prompted by newspaper clippings, implying that my relations were not what they should be. I sent him the clippings myself, but he thought they came from the officers. "My husband was to have robbed the bank in company with a man named Rogers, who came out here from Kansas City at his request. He told me that Rogers was an ex pert safe-breaker, but that he had never been detected in any crime. Perry was also in the plan to rob the bank, but my husband had a disagreement with them, and the other two. My husband's falling out with Perry and Rogers was due to his refusal to participate in hold ing up the box office of the Heilig Theatre, then called the Belasco. This job was to have been done on the Tuesday preceding the bank robbery, but when ray husband was called up on the telephone from Portland he refused to go down and participate in the robbery of the theater. I do not know why he re fused, but I do know that the other men were angry because of it, "Previously the three men had planned to rob Dan Marx' jewelry store in Portland, and they tried to induce me to take a part by carry ing away the plunder, saying that I would not be suspected, but that a man carrying satchels of plunder would be apprehended. They had intended to murder the clerk in or der to rob this store. "The bank was to have been rob bed Wednesday night. Carey rode away from home on horseback that nieht and did not return until near lv momin?. He was furious be- ratiu the other men had failed to meet him. The bank was robbed the following Friday. "When my husband learned, three davs later, of the robbery, he said that the other men had done it without him and swore that they must divide. 'I am going to Port land to find Perry,' be said. 'When I get him he will have to give me a snare of the money, and if he re fuses to do so either he will co down and out or I shall.' He then left aud that was the last I ever saw of him. It is evident that he was the one to go down and out. "Iam of the opinion that after my husband came to Portland he drove out with Perry aud Rogers to a spot where the money was sup posed to be concealed. I le was told, I have uo doubt, that he was to be given a share of the plunder. When they arrived at the spot he was murdered in cold blood and his body carried to the place where it was recently found." The story told by Mrs. Snyder last night is practically the same as that she related to Deputy District Attorney Tongue and a court sten ographer earlier in the day. It is asserted that this statement supplies the necessary link in the evidence which the officials already have, and will form a basis for issuing a warrant tor the arrest of Perry. This would probably have been done last evening had District At torney Allen not been absent from Hillsboro. As it is a warrant will probably be issued within a few days, and in the meantime officials in the Rast will keep track of Perry. It is said that the officials have no knowledge of the identity of Rogers other than what they have gained from Mrs. Snyder. Howev er, they have known of his alleged connection with the affair for some time, and have found that he re ceived his mail at the Cornelius postoffice during the period preced ing the frorest, Grove robbery. In her confession to the officials Mrs. Snyder told of the hiding of a quantity of dynamite near her home, the explosive having been intended for use in the bank robbery. "I think it was dynamite," she said last night. "It was some kind of explosive with (uses. The offi cials have asked me to go with them to the place where it is buried I will remain here for some time, but I do not belie , e that I can remem ber where I buried it." Mrs. bnytler expressed sorrow when she was told of the death of R. M Snvder. "My God, it seems that troubles will never cease, she exclaimed. ''I do not know that I would have told all that I have today if I had known of this. It is awful to have all this aloiit Carey and the account of his father's death printed on the same day. "But then I cannot help but feel this way about it," she concluded. "R M. Snyder would probably never have been killed if he had come to Oregon and helped investi gate the murder of Carey." In her story Mrs. Snyder told of much harsh treatment at her hus band's hands. She said that he beat her repeatedly because she re fused to join with him in the crimes he planned, and that he kicked her and struck her in the face. Her unwillingness to mention his name in connection with the crimes, she asserted, was entirely in defer- (Concluded on Last Page.) There's a lot in a shoo which needs only , jd3 only jo! r."

The first denatured alcohol plant on the Coast is to be erecied just outside of Portland shortly after the first of next year, when the law passed by the last session of cougress removing the duty on alcohol, goes into effect. The plant is to be located ou the 400 acre ranch owned by Dr. C. W. Cornelius, on the Peninsula, be tween Columbia river and Columbia slough. Dr. Cornelius has just dis posed of the whole ranch to the company, which is to be known as the Pacific Alco Fuel Company, a stock concern, which has been in corporated under the laws of Oregon with a capitalization of 1150,000. It is backed by Eastern capital. The incorporators, however, are all local people, as follows: J. B. Lab er, secretary of the Board of Trade; Attorney Alex Sweek aud J. M. Lay. The plant will cost in the neighborhood of $50,000, the re mainder of the purchase price of the land and the working capital. According to the prorpectus of the company, which has just been prepared, the purpose of the com pany is to manufacture and sell "de natured and denaturalized alcohol, for use as fuel, light and power." The important considerations which led to the selection of the Cornelius farm for the site are that the plant will be near the required quantities of raw material, and where they are best and cheapest, where there is a market fr all the alcohol that can be madt., w here gasoline and kerosene sell lor highest prices. The plant will le on tin water front, where the raw material can le gath ered and the finished product mar keted daily by the company's line of boat. The company also plans to go into the hog-raising industry, and will fatten the poikers on the vegetable rcluse from the plant. Of the 40a acres in the ranch, it is expected that 350 acres will be planted in potatoes, which are used in the manufacture of the deuatur-, ed product. As a side issue, a con siderable portion of the tract will be devoted to sugar-beet culture, a pro duct which will grow admirably, it is said, in the slough lands along the Columbia river bottoms. It is estimated that the potatoes will yield from 500 to 600 bushels to the acre and the sugar beets from 30 to 40 tons.

The concern has also arranged for the construction of scows and tugs for hauling the raw product from the producers to the plant. The capacity of the original plant as now contemplated is estimated at too barrels of fuel alcohol a day, at a cost of 11 cents a barrel. The plant will be enlarged as the indus try increases. As for a market, it iselieyed by the promotors that the whole out put of the plant may le disposed of in Portland, as a substitute tor gas oline as luel tor yachts, lamps, stoves, automobiles, cars, small pumping engines, etc. As a fuel it is said to be clean and odorless, and much less dangerous than gasoline and kerosene, and it may be used largely in the household as well as in the arts.

It developed in the trial of John Cain, who stole a reed organ in Jef ferson county Indiana, aud hauled it seventy-five miles to Shelby ville, where he sold it for $8, that Cain once stole a cow and put boots on her feet to prevent its being traced. The authorities were baffled in their search for the stolen cow by seeing ing nothing but men's tracks. Cain took to the stable two pairs of men's boots, which he put upon the cow's feet by lifting her hoofs and jatu miug them down tuto the boots.
