nsms applied to Ars Rebeccs Snyder, who,
10 connection with man named John W.
Foreman, attempted to poison her husband
and children In Butler last week, full pat
| ticulars OF which we gave 10 our last issue.
On last Saturday Mrs. Snyder and Foreman
we're taken before Justice Keek, in Butler,
and after o hearing were committed for
| trial at Court. Tne evidence against them
is very strong, aud there is scarcely doubt
| of their conviction.
Late developments establish the fact that
Foreman and Mrs. Snyder were crimualIy
I intimate, and 1t will also be proven that
Foreman attempted to poison Snyder by
placing arsenic in pitcher OF water. while
they were working together in hay field.
Foreman got rid of bis wife by abusing fer
/ until she lett him and went home, when be
had clear field TO carry on bis love sffairs
With Mrs. Snyder. A search In Forman's
house resulted 10 the discovery OF several
letters from Mrs. Snyder, which show that
she was completely In Forenan's power.-
She signed some OF her letters "Your wife,
Rsbscca Foreman"
Snyder had faith 10 his wife until o short
time ego. A circus visited Butler, and be
asked bis wife to 60 with him to the show
She said she didn't want to 90, but afteri
wards went with Foreman, and was aeen
there by her husband. From that time he
became morose and down hearted, and Oft
ca threatened to commit suicide. His wife
and Foreman tried to save him the trouble,
but failed. Tho following letter from Mrs.
Soyder, and one from Foreman, show the
..gushing" nature Of the correspondence be,
tween the two. Mrs. Snyder writes to Fore
