AMARILLO, Tex, Sept. 24.-That John B. Snead, wealthy banker, who killed Al G.

McKibbon in Judge Browning's court yesterday while testifying in the habeas corpus hearing of Snead, who is seeking release from the charge of murder under which he is held.
 Mrs. McKibbon testified she had rented the front room of her home to Snead a week before Boyce was kill ed Snead then wore a dark beard, she said.
 The courtroom was packed today. Twenty deputies searched everybody entering the room for concealed weapons and stood guard all during the hearing.
 Other witnesses who followed Mrs. McKibbon told of the purchases made by Snead and his alleged confederate, B. B. Epping. This was done to show that the men laid careful plans for shooting Boyce.
