THE SNYDER BRIBERY TRIAL,
Has the Defendant Resided In Kansas City
or New York Since tho Traction
Bill Passed.

st. Louis, Oct. 4.-When the trial
of Robert M. Snyder, banker and
promotes charged with bribery in
connection with the Central Traction
bill, was resumed in Judge Ryan's
court yesterday Circuit Attorney
Folk began the task Of proving that
the defendants case did not come
under the statute of limitations and
therefore he was not exempt from
prosecution. The Missouri statute
of limitations reads: "In all cases,
the time during which any defend
ant shall not have been an inhabitant
of or usually resident within this
state shall not constitute any part
of the limitation" The period of
limitation for bribery is three years.
It Is the states contention that
Snyder has been a resident OF New
York for the greater part Of the
time since the Central Traction bill
was passed, in 1898, and cannot,
therefore, receive the benefits Of the
statute Of limitations. The defense
will undertake to show that he lives
and has lived in Kansas City. The
question will turn on the meaning
of the words "inhabitant" and "resi-
dent" contained in the statute.

and we earnestly hope that out OF
these deliberations may come such
Sesults as will stay the calamity
which now threatens the comfort,
health and even lives OF our citizens"
