Snoddy, the murdered man, bad been on
too intimate terms with Wright's daughters,
wives of Bird and Collins. The former had
separated from his wife, and the theory is
tbnt suspicion wont attach to Bird. Collins
was engaged st we'll boring a few miles down
the road, and was in Abilene on tho night OF
the murder, but did not stay with his fam
lily. This circumstance increased the feeling
against him. Wright is very poor, but sud

chase of supplies.
