| "Now in the last clause of this codicil
desire to commend my dear children
and grand children and all friends, to

FACTIONS QUIET AS GRAND JURY SITS, BUT OUTBREAK IS
 FEARED BY OFFICIALS.
SLAYER APPEARS TO BE CALM
Brothers of Latest Victim in City, as Also Are Relatives of Prisoner Grand Jury Investigat-
 ing Latest Shooting.

Amarillo, Tex, Sept 17.-With the air surcharged With possibilities of an outbreak as the Boyce and Sneed clans gather, grand jury opened an investigation into the killing of Al Boyce by John Beal Sneed Saturday. The slayer, husband of Mrs. Lena Sneed, who eloped with Al Boyce last winter, is in Potter county jail and shows not the slightest outward con cern over his predicament He is al- ready planning his defense with his lawyers. Sneed is confident that a jury cannot be collected in this vicin- ity who would find him guilty, and his friends point to his killing of Capt Boyce, AIS father last February, in which case a jury disagreed. The sec ond trial of this staying is scheduled for Nov. II.
 Feudsts Watched Closely.
 The feudists were closely watched by city and county officials to prevent any outbreak. However, a look may set off a pitched battle and the situ- ation is admittedly dangerous. The rival factions conferred separately Not an inkling of their plans was per mitted to leak out But the dead body of Al Boyce lies in the midst of his sorrowing family and seems to call out for revenge, the authorities sus- pect.
 Three of the slain mans brothers Linn, Will and Henry-are in town and are awaiting additions in reply to messages to relatives and friends to hasten here. The assassin's broth CT Joe; an uncle and others of the Sneed clan are here and re-enforce ments are promised. J. T. Snider, fla ther of Mrs. Lena Sneed, who sup ported Sneed in his first trial, is also in town.
 Tried to Win Wife Again.
 The motive which prompted Sneed to lie in wait for and kill Al Boyce became known through his counsel Walter Scott and w. P. Mclean. Let ters sent by the younger Boyce from his Canadian ranch to Mrs. Lena Sneed in an effort to win her away from Sneed a second time caused the banker to plot against the life of the young ranchman who last November eloped with the wife. Boyce's letters reached Mrs. Sneed at a time when she and her husband, having become reconcliated were living in George town.
 Fearing that Boyce again would pre- vail upon his wife to desert him. Sneed cautiously planned every de tail of the assassination. 1t is asserted
