New York, April S.-A night IN
cell failed to shake the nerve Of Mrs.
William J. Snyder, held to await the
action of the coroner and the grand
iurv in the death Of the man she
claims was her husband, Walter j.
Snyder, editor, manager of the Sports
of the Times, stabbed to death in an
apartment they occupied or 81. Mich
olas Avenue. yesterday. She quietly
reiterated her original story of the
stabbng, insisting that, although she
held the scissors which caused the
fatal wounds, in her hands, Snyder
had iabbed himself with the blades,
seemingly in fun, accidentally intilct-
ing fatal wounds. She also insisted
that, although the wounds were over
the heart, Snyder had strength enough
left TO take off his union suit and get
into the bath tub before he finally
bled to death.
Coroner Hellenstein today ordered
charge Of homicide placed against
the woman. ard that she be held with
out bail.
The accused woman was formerly
Mary S. Kern OF Morristown, \. j..
She says that she and Snyder were
married eight years ago, but she has
forgotten who performed the cere-
mony. Soon afterward they separat-
ed, and in 1908 Snyder married Miss
Bertha Edna Yeagcr, of Detroit, but
she soon left him. Then in 1909,
vile he was manager of the Conn
ecticut State Fair. Snyder eloped with
his stenographer, Miss Helen Garfield,
Of New Britain. He deserted her for
the woman who is now locked up,
charged with killing him, and who
saws she only made up with him
Il short time ago.
The woman calmly admitted that
she and Snyder quarreled yesterday
She said that she was taking bath'
and he threw water on her hair.
This made her mad, and seemed to
please him. Later he started to take
bath, she says, and persisted in
throwing water on her hair. from a
sponge. She says she had been clip

dresser and that she turned with the
! shears in her hand and said:
, Now be careful, Walter; You don't
know what | might do
She says that he seized her by the
wrists and that as she struggled to
free herself. he plunged the blades
of the shears into his breast. Then
she says he went into the bathroom
and lay down in the tub. Some time
