Illustrate Testimony In Snyder Case.

| The case of Frederick G. Snyder
vs.. the Peoples Railway Company,
was resumed in the Superior Court
yesterday Afternoon.
! DR.. Compton Riley, Baltimore
physician, was called to the stand as
an expert on anatomy. Every lew
minutes during mis- examination,
DR.. Riley would produce some human
bones from his pockets. and would
put them together to illustrate his
testimony, and to show the court
and jury just what was the N liter
with Snyder.
DR.. Riley testified that he was
connected with the Maryland Uni.
versity Hospital for Crippled and De.
formed Children. in Baltimore. On
May 3lst, at Baltimore. he had exam.
ined Snyder with the Nray apparatus
and found he was suffering at that
time from a fractured vertebrac and
also the twelfth rib had been broken
from the vertebrae. At this point
Dr. Riley drew from his pocket
veatebrae and explained to the court
and jury what part he had found
broken. He had made another cX.
animation this week in Baltimore,
and found that while the fractured
vertcbrac had healed, the rib was
still separated from the vertebrae
by about three. .siXteenths Of an inch.
Dr.. Riley then pulled from his
pocket another vertebrae and also
the twelfth rib of a human skeleton,
which is the one he testified Snyder
had fractured With these and
other bones that he took from his
pocket, DR.. Riley showed the nature
OF Snyder's injuries.
The witness was rigidly cross-ex-
amined by William $. HiIles. Dr.
Riley, III the course of the cross
examination, said he believed
Snyder's injuries were permanent,
because the symptom remains, and
no improvement has been shown in
the bones healing.
DR.. Francis Springer testified that
he had given Snyder medical treat.
ment, and relative to the injuries
from which he found Snyder suffer
ing. DR., Malcolm testified to dress
ing the injury on Snyders head the
morning Of the accident.
In opening for the defense Mr.
Hilles stated to the jury that they
would prove that Snyder drove de
liberately on the tracks in front of
the car and did not exercise prop er
precautlon in approaching a street
crossing.
William Lovelace testified that he
drove grocery wagon, and that ON
the day of the accident he had pass
ed Snyders wagon at Second and
Adams streets The witness said
he heard Il bell ringing, and stopped
his team, He was the last witness
