Mr.. Snyder Has Nothing 90 shy About
Goodwln's Intinscy with Mrs. Snyder.
Burton c. Webster took the witness stand in
his own defence yesterday. tho seventh day Of
his trial before Judge Cowing for the murder
OF Charles Z. Goodwin. He was O remarkably
good witness. He told his story clearly. and
at times dramatically. with earnostness and
candor that carried to the minds OF many OF
the spectators the conviction that no was tell
ing the truth.
The court room was crowded Standing
room was at large premium: seats could not
he had. The first part Of the morning session
was devoted to clearing the way for Webster.
Two witnesses. Peter Snyder and Public Ad-
ministrator Lydecker. had been excused on
! Tuesday that tho question Of the admissible
ity OF evidence derogatory to Goodwin's moral
ity might be argued. Such argument was the
first business OF tho court yesterday morning.
Judge Cowing ruled that he would allow ties.
timony affecting Goodw character for truth
and veracity. and also his general reputation
for morality. but that he would exclude ties.
timony Of SPECIFIC acts. so that innocent third
parties should not be injured. He said he
would allow the prosecution to introduce proof
OF Goodwin's good character.
Cashier Snyder was then called. He testified
that he met Goodwin at Larchmont in 1884.
when Goodwin lived at the same hotel with
him and wife. His acquaintance with Good
win continued for four years. Goodwin had
been guest at his house. Under Judge Cow
ing's ruling questions in answer to which the
defence hoped to have Mr.. Snyder testify to
Goodwins intimacy with his wife we're ex-
cluded. and Mr.. Mitchell finally asked him
what Goodwin's general reputation for moral
ity was To the surprise Of the defence and
everybody else In the room Mr. Snyder an.
swered distinctly:
so far as know II was good.'
The attempt Of the defence to secure EVIL
dence against Goodwin's character from Good
wins papers in the possession OF Public Ad-
ministrator Lydecker failed. because Capt
Lydecker had surrendered the papers. includ-
ing twenty nine letters to Goodwin from Mrs.
Snyder. to Mr.. Poor. Goodwin's uncle.
Carver B. Cline. press agent for Roster Il
Bal: William Riley. a bookmaker. and Thomas
F. Egan. superintendent OF the betting ring
at Guttenburg. were examined as to Webster's
reputation for peace. They all said 1t was
the very best On cross-examination each Of
them said he had never heard OF Webster's
having assaulted an old man in Forty second
street. and had never heard that Webster drew
knife on man with whom he was shaking
dice for wine In house OF i'll repute. There
was pause after the last OF these witnesses
had been excused. Mr. Howe and Justice
Mitchell had a whispered conference with
Webster. It ended when Mr.. Mitchell said to
Webster:
well. take the stand"

chair and WIS awoyn- He hatra varv ltffjo

Hardly probabIe.

OMAHA, Sept. I6.-Mr. Lomax, who re-
turned yesterday from the transconti-
mental association meeting says: ST
have no doubt that the Transcontinen-
tai Association meeting is thing of the
past, and the roads remaining may form
pool against those that are out, but
that is hardly probable. Should the
Northern Pacific follow the course of the
Great Northern and Central Pacific, I
presume the Union Pacific would be
compelled to do likewise, as a matter of
self-interest. We are not looking for
trouble, but are compelled to be on the
safe eide when it does overtake u.s.
Mr.. Lomax is General passenger agent
of the U. P. r. and firm advocate
of the pool. He believes the interstate
commerce commission is largely of that
mind. With pool, the smaller or differ
ential roads gets as much protection as
the larger ones, and there Is great deal
more harmony than under the present
arrangement of forming roads in dis
trict into associations with equal powers.
But the unrest is not confined alone to
the transcontinental association. The
Burlington has given notice of its with
drawal from the Western traffic associa-
tion, which means that other roads will
follow, and that collapse of the associa-
ton is entirely probable.
