asking for $4,000 on a promissory note
dated March q, 1891, and payable 10 days
after date.
The affair is the only subject OF CONVEX
sation i'm Massillon today and little or no
attention is paid to the election contest
Eyeryone is anxious to know how Mr..
Albright could possibly be indebted to +.
Il. Snyder in the sum OF 10000. In this
connection IL might be proper to state that
Dunn quotes +. e, Snyder as worth bo.
tween 5000 and 5000, while Peter G. AL
bright is quoted at over $4,000.
To ascertain all of the facts in the case
NEws-DEMoCRAT reporter was sent to
Massillon this morning to interview the
interested parties. From what was learn
ed at Massillon it is safe to say that there
is something crooked.
MIR. u. +. Snyder was seen at his place
of business in Erie street this morning by
a NEws-DEMoCRAT reporter. While the
conversation throws no definite light on
the matter, yet the questions and answers
will be of much interest.
81 would like to have a statement from
you, MIR. Snyder,regarding the case" SAID
the reporter.
~ have nothing to say at present" was
the answer.
,"Supposing that Mr.. Albright says the
note is forgery and that he never signed
1t. What would you say to thatP"
az should say it was lie, as l saw him
sign it," answered Mr.. Snyder.
"What have you TO say to the report that
you caught Mr.. Albright in compromis.
ing position with your wife, and com:
PEELED him to sign the note at the point OF
a revolver ?r was then asked.
"That is a lie, as l never carried re-
volver in my life,n was the answer.
"Do you mean to say that Mr.. Albright
got value received for the SoO,OOO note ~
asked the reporter.
81 have nothing to say" was the an
swer.
"Do you live with your wife ~ was then
asked.
"Do you know that your wife contem-
plates applying for divorce ?" asked the
81 have nothing to say"
"Do you know why your wife went to
Canton this morning."
81 have nothing to say"
This ended the interview with Mr..
Snyder.
This morning Mrs. Snyder was seen in
Canton, but the object of her visit could
not be learned. She returned to Massil-
on on the train leaving Canton at 9:o2-
She was accompanied to the depot and
aboard the train by Mr.. Matthews. Al
Massillon she got off the train alone and
walked east on the Ft. Wayne track, an
hour afterwards a NEWS. DEMOCRAT report.
er called at her residence, No. 13 fremont
street, and was informed that Mrs. Sny-
der had not been home since morning.
Her disappearance is a mystery.
1t is stated in Massillon that the note
was in Mrs. Snyder's handwriting and
many ugly rumors are afoat. The note
was either signed by MIR. Albright, OF else
is an excellent imitation of his handwrit'
ing.
Mr.. Albright was seen at his bank this
afternoon by the NEws-DEMoCRAT. He
said the note was forgery and denounced
the whole affair as matchmaking scheme
He said he never signed it and had not
been caught in a compromising position
with Mrs. Snyder, as reported. He fur
ther stated that an attempt had beer
made to blackmail him by means o.
anonymous letters for the past foul
months. Mr.. Albright was very fair il
his statements and says Mr.. Snyder is |
liar il he says he (Mr. p. G. Albright
signed that $4,000 note. Mr.. Albrigh
does not intend to pay the note and will
fight the case to the bitter end:
He has engaged Judge Day and Attorne'
McCaughey to watch his interests. Th'
attorneys refuse to talk, but state the cas-
will be the most sensational one in whic
Massillon has ever been interested.
