ROBERT M. SNYDER IN COURT.
TIE. ALLEGED Central Traction Bill
Briber Pleads the Statute of
Limitations at st. Louis.

St. Louis, Sept. 29.-Robert NJ. Sny-
der, who is charged with hav-
ing paid $25O,OOO to the municipal as
sembIy for passing the Central Trac-
ton bill, is in court.
With a brilliant array of legal tai
ent he is making the fight of his life
to prevent a trial on the bribery
charge.
Monday, when the case was called,
his attorneys moved to quash the in
dictment. Judge Ryan took the mo-
ton under adyiSement.
Another motion in bar of the stat
ute of limitations was made, and also
taken under advisement.
The defense relies on their cOnten-
ton that Snyder has lived in Missou-
ri ever since 1898, when the bribery
occurred, and three years having
elapsed he is free from prosecution
under the statute of limitation.
The state declares Snyder has lived
in New York since, the statute OF
limitation not applying.

Killed by a Crazy Negro.

James Knox Polk Hill, one of the
guards at the Davidson county asy-
lum, was stabbed and killed last
week by Tom Copley, a crazy negro,
The wound was inflicted with a cary
ing knife, and the blow was struck
just below the heart. He died in
about two hours.
Hill was sitting at the breakfast
table eating, and Copley was behind
him at another table, engaged in cut
ting up some bread with the carving
knife. The negro must have been
suddenly seized with a homicide
mania, for he approached his victim
stealthily from behind, and, without
a word or sound of warning, plunged
his knife into the guards breast.
Hill jumped to his feet, and, be-
fore he fell, assisted in overpowering
the Infatuated lunatic and taking the
knife away from him.
Copley was soon quoted and
locked up in cell where he could
not hurt himself nor any one else.
He said, when asked why he attacked
Hill, that he did not know, but reck-
oned he just had a crazy spell.
