THE SNOW MURDER.
what Thomas J. Libby Has said.

A reporter for the PRESS had conversation
who has been Mr.. Thomas j. Libby's physi-
clan since boyhood, and who is attending him
at the jail, together with the Jail surgeon, DR..
L. A. Foster
DIR. Buzzells story is that from what he can
gather, and from his own theory, Libby had
been fairly crazed with rum for a long time up
to the occasion of the murder; that when Miss
Snow called Pingree to the room at the City
Hotel, Friday morning last, she was DESTROYS
that the revolver should be taken from Libby
as he was hourishing it about his head IN a ma
niacal manner. She was not afraid of Libby,
she had M fear of his purposely shooting her.
There had been no quarrel between them She
was only afraid he might accidentally shoot
her. When Pingree appeared Libby pointed
the pistol at him, cooked it and cried out "Get
out of this or I'll shoot you." Pingree ran
out Then Libby told Miss Snow to lock the
door to prevent Pingree coming back. As she
did so Libby had another hallucination,
thought she was Pingrse and fred. The first
ball struck her in the jaw and she screamed,
the second shot missed and entered the ceiling.
The third passed through her brain, killing her
instantly and she fell. Partially sobered by her
fall, and for moment realizing the horrible
situation Libby placed the pistol to his own
head and fired Libby told the doctor, and so
did Libby's family, that the reason he carried
pistol was because he was often in town late
at night and then drove over to Prout's neck
at midnight.
On Sunday morning DIR. Buzzell, finding
Libby in good condition said to him.
What was your object in using this pistol
as you did?"
What pistol?" replied Libby.
The doctor than changed the subject and
said:
anP"
mo- replied Libby. st had not. Is she
hurt?'
thine will reveal replied the doctor.
Yesterday morning Libby was in better con-
ditioD. The signs of congestion and infiam-
nation had apparently passed away, with
which he was troubled on Tuesday, and the
opiate given him Tuesday had done him good.
He evidently has no anxiety about himself
and that is a great aid towards his recovery
Ii no signs of Inflammation or congestion, ap-
pear in the next few days, he will get well.
