WOMAN IN TEXAS HO"'S'0-
CASE WILL NOT TESIIrf !"
FAVOR OF HUSBAND.
WILL GO BACK TO BoYCE
Rev. Snead, Father Of Prisoner Days
He Urged Son to Leave His wire.
Her Father With the
Defense.

Fort Worth, Texas. - Mrs. Lena
Snead refused to testify to save nef
husband, J. B. Snead, the Amarlllo
banker, who is being tried here 1or
the murder of Captain A. G. Boyce'
Her decision winds up battle wnlcn
has been waged for three days. Wom'
ans love for an affinity triumpned. At
the conclusion, Mrs. Snead said that
she fully expected to obtain divorce
rejoin Albert Boyce, with whom sne
eloped, and settle in Western CANADA
on big ranch.
Attorney Mclean for the defense
announced in court that Mrs. Snead
would not testify because she is insane
and her testimony would be useless,
a remark which brought smiles from
the prosecuting attorneys and frowns
from the three Boyce brothers. Snead
himself regarded it as the merest IN
cident. He was reading newspaper
when the announcement was made.
The defense introduced so kilograms
exchanged between Captain Boyce and
his sons in Texas, and Albert Boyce
during his flight across the continent
and back to Winnipeg. One OF the
messages by Henry Boyce, a Dalhart
banker, authorized a Kansas City bank
to wire Albert $4,000 while he was
in Winnipeg. although he left Fort
Worth with 100000. The defense Of
fered these messages to prove all the
Boyces were united in the plot to keep
Boyce with Mrs. Snead.
Two men, both in their seventies,
took the stand to save the life of the
millionaire prisoner. They were Rev.
J. T. Snead of Georgetown, a Baptist
preacher, father of the defendant, and
Captain Thomas Snyder, father-in-law
of Snead. They faced the ordeal with
fortitude, but the storm of questions
fired by the prosecutions attorneys
left both men near state of collapse.
Captain Snyder went tottering to his
chair after he had finished.
Mrs. Snead's father testified he met
his daughter in Minneapolis, following
the elopement and that she begged
him to take her to his Clayton, N. NJ,
home as she feared Snead would force
her again into a sanitarium. Snyder
refused his daughters request, he
said, because he thought it best for
her.
Rev. J. T. Snead then took the stand.
"If Beal (his SOM had taken my
advice, he would have saved $4,000
and kept his good name" declared
Rev. Mr.. Snead. II told Beal he had
better give Lena divorce without
alimony, but he insisted he loved her.
Once he contemplated divorce, but
wanted to allow Lena big alimony.
Later he refused to separate from her.
Murder, hate and waste of money is
the result"

Protest Against Free Seed

Mobridge.-Some of the newspapers
published in towns in the reservation
country are protesting vigorously
against the project to bond the coun-
ties to secure seed for homesteaders.
They say the plan will result in en-
couraging homesteaders to raise small
grain, and argue that small grain rails
ing should be discouraged, as il it is
persisted in it will result in long
period of hard times for the settlers,
while if they are encouraged to carry
on diversified farming, accompanied
by poultry raising and butter making,
they will soon be in good shape finan-
cially.

Cleveland and Philadelphia are the
only cities in the American league
which have u guarantee OF having the
detail work around the second cushion
looked after with satisfaction next
year. Secretary Barnard of the CieNe-
land club declared: You can't find
them. Every club in the major

ops at that position in the minor
leagues and gives any promise OF de-
veIopment every club in a higher class
is engaged in a fight for that players

today. Boston is the only club outside
of the two mentioned which even feels
fairly secure at second base. Charley

FINANCIAL And COMMERCIAL,
BUT SLIGHT CHANGES.
Market Almost Stationary Except ir
Tobacco and Coppers.

New York, Feb. S-Except for the
tobacco and copper stocks, the market
was almost stationary during the
greater part of today's session. Prices
Of a few active issues rose at the open
ing, but quickly fell back on bear sell
ing. Trading became listless and
changes for the day in most cases were
Insignificant.
The tobacco stocks fiuctuated vio-
lently for a time, owing to the an
nouncement Of the coming retirement
Of James B. Duke as president of the
American Tobacco company, to- become
head of the British-American Tobacco
company. American Tobacco broke 10
points, Light and Myers Z and Loril-
lard 6. All of these stocks rallied
sharply later in the day. On the curb
British American was active and rose
rapidly at the outset, although it sub
sequently fell back,
The copper stocks were the strong
feature Of the market. Trading in
these issues was Influenced by the ia
vorable monthly report of the copper
producers. Although q reduction in
stocks on hand had been expected. the
decrease of more than $4,000, 900 pounds
surpassed expectations and was made
the basis Of a demonstration by bull
traders. Amalgamated Copper was
marked up 2 "a American Smelling
l SIS, and the other coppers a point or
more Although domestic deliveries
fell off, there was an increase in the
foreign deliveries and a decrease of
S,55S,0eO pounds in the production for
January.
Although the dulIness Of the market
recently has been attributed partly to
the desire to await developments at
Washington regarding the congression-
al investigation of the money trust. no
response was made to the news that
the investigation probably would be
confined to conservative limits The
traders lack Of interest in the de-
cision Of the democratic caucus was
explained by the fact that Wall street
for several days had expected such an
outcome.
Reduction of the Bank of Englsnd's
rate of discount from 4 to IL per
cent. had been predicted by interna-
tional bankers here, and it was said
that the official rate of the Bank of
Germany, which now stands at ) Der
cent. probably would be reduced on
Monday. The Bank of England's rate
had stood at 4 per cent. since last Sep
TENDER. when it was raised from the
3 per cent. rate which prevailed all last
summer. Bankers were of the opinion
that the rate might be reduced again
within q few weeks.
Two more shipments Of gold out OF
the country were reported today. An
additional S2,00O,000 was engaged for
transportation to Paris bringing uu
the total on the present movement ia
IS, 100000. For South America $3.50.
900 was obtained. The loss In gold is
expected to play an important part In
the weeks bank statement and an ap-
probable cut in the surplus reserve al
the end OF the week is regarded as
probable.
Buying of bonds was widely dis
trfbuted and prices were held well
Total sales, par value, $685.. 600
United States bonds were unchanged
