TECHNICALlTY
Upon Which Lawyer Wants to Effect
a Murderer's Release.

Columbus, O., July 1G-tSpL)-A
new and novel question of law was
brought to the attention of the SUI
preme court Friday by Hon. S. +. Han
selnan, who appeared before Judge
Marshall j. Williams ia chambers and
secured leave TO file petition in error
in the case of Daniel Snyder against
the State, error to the Circuit court of
Portage county.
Snyder was tried last March for the
murder of Nathan X. Goss. He was
convicted of murder in the second de-
gree and given a life sentence. The
crime was committed while Snyder
was attempting to commit a burglary.
There is a statute making homicide
by n person engaged in the commits
sion of burglary murder ia the first
degree. Mr.. Hanselman claims that
If Snyder was guilty at all, he was
guilty of murder in the first degree,
and that the verdict of murder in the
second degree is invalid. Should the
court decide in Snyder's favor he will
be given his freedom, as he cannot be
placed in jeopardy again for the same
crime

While Mr.. Hanna's newspapers arc
at no pains TO conceal their contempt
for the candidacy of Mr.. Debs, the
leader of the Social Democracy, the
unfailiug checkbook has been placed
at the disposal Of the manipuIators
who are pretending to give Mr.. Debs
sincere support. The result of this con.

Estimated That Visitors During the
Afternoon Numbered 5000.

As indicated by the attendance Sun
day afternoon at the sacred concert
given at Perkins Square by the Eighth
regiment band, Il series of such con-
ccrts would prove TO be very popular
in this city, and provide eleyating and
appropriate entertainment for those

provided by number of citizens who
| live in the vicinity of Perkins Square.
During an intermisson in the pro-
gram, Mr.. Emil Gammeter addressed
the audience, announcing that the peo-
pie in the neighborhood of Perkins
Square hoped that their example In
the way of providing a sacred concert,

1t Is carefully estimated that 5000
people visited Perkins Square Sunday
afternoon during the concert. While

ing and going. Not only were the Wis

of the situation and the sanctity of the
lday. No noises nor loud talk We're
heard. and all present Joined several
times in singing verses Of hymns and
patriotic airs played by the band.
Many people came in carriages and
lined up on the street at the southern
side of the park, and sat In the vebi-
cles during the concert. The luxuriant
foliage of the trees in the square pro-
yided excellent shades, and made the
place particularly pleasant for the oc-
casion.
The band was under the leadership
} of Prof. w. r. Palmer, and the music
! produced was strong and fun of iar-
mony. Members of the band sat on
, platform erected near the southeastern
corner of the Square. In the program
were hymns, national and patriotic
avs of the United States, and European
countries.
; Those interested in providing the
concert were satisfied with results
and 1t is understood that concerts will
be continued during the summer.

proved. At 4 O'Clock the bell
sounded, the gang plank raised
and in the next instant the beau

and band playing was peacefully
gliding up the great father OF

the trip that marred the enjoy

the kind and courteous treatment
OF every officer in charge was ap-
preclated and complimented by
all. The band of Prof. Sommer
bv its sweet music added much
to the evenings pleasure. The
