MRS. CLOUDS SLAYER
Louis Snyder Held to the Grand
Jury Without Bond.
Wife Beaten Given the Limit-Brewery
License DecisiOn-Case Growing
Out of Beckner's Failure.

Louis Snyder, arrested for the murder Of
Olive Cloud at her home on South Pine
street last Saturday night, and had his pre-
liminary hearing in the Police Court yes
terday morning. He was represented by
John Healing and waived arraignment.
Coroner Beck was examined for the State,
and testified to having gone to the house
at No. q South Pine street on last Sunday
morning, the day after the shooting, and
making his official examination. He de-
sCribed the wounds inflicted. There was a
wound in the LETT breast, one in the mus
cular tissues of the left arm and a bullet
Embedded in the left wrist 1t is presumed
that the two latter wounds were made by
the ball imbedded in the wrist. The sup
position is that the woman had her arms
raised aloft at the time the shot was fired
and the ball penetrated the muscles of the
arm and lodged in the wrist, where it was
found. Above the left eye was found an
incised wound about a. inch long, with
ragged edges, and below the eye an abra-
sion or bruise. Both these wounds are sup
posed to have been made at the same time
by a blow will the fist, it being presumed
that the ragged-edged cut above the eye
was made by a ring and the bruise below
the eye by the knuckles.
Oran cloud, the son Oh the murdered WOm-
an, was also put upon the stand, and de-
tailed the story of the murder. He said
that during the day his uncle, Snyder and
two other men were at work making some
repairs about the house. About 6 o'clock
bis mother, Snyder and himself sat down
to supper. and after the meal was over he
went down town and returned about 10:4
o'clock. At that time neither his mother
nor Snyde was at home and he went to
bed. He had dropped into a light sleep,
when he heard his mother and Snyder
enter by the kitchen door. Almost as soon
as they entered the house he heard his
mother say, Snyder, what made you get
drunk to-nightY' Immediately he heard
three or four shots fired. He sprang from
the bed and ran to the door leading into
the sitting room, and as he reached the
door his mother staggered through the din
ing room and fell upon the floor. exclaiming
as she fell, MY God, Oranl Snyder has
shot me-" The boy said he bent over his
mother and asked her what was the mat
ter and If she was hurt. While he was
standing thus Snyder walked into the room
and the boy turned to him and asked,
Snyder, have you gone crazy?"
i don't KNOW answered Snyder.
What did you do this for?'
Il don't know"
Are you drunk?"
Il don't know"
What have you lone with your revol-
ver?'
II don't know"
After this, the boy said, Snyder left the
house and ne did not see him any more.
He, testified to having gone for his uncle
anG raising the alarm after the shooting.
Snyder was held for the action OF the
grand jury without bond.

The Plaintiff in n Damage Suit Dis
misses After Hearing the Evidence.
After hearing his evidence in the case,
John w. Lee concluded he had no cause
of action against Frank f. Helwig and
dismissed a suit against the latter for
$1,000 damages. The damage suit grew out
Of the troubles arising from the assign
ment, last summer, Of Hey II. Beckner.
the North Ulinois-street furniture dealer.
Lee was a drive for Beckner and, after
the assignment to Helwig, the assignee ac-
cused him of removing goods from the
store and caused his arrest. Upon the
trial of the case Lee was acquitted and
then he filed suit against Helwig for dam
ages in the sum Of 5000. The case came
on for trial before a jury, in Room 3, of the
Superior Court, yesterday afternoon, and
at the conclusion Of the plaintiffs evidence
he dismissed the case.
