RAP I'D PROGRESS
IN SNEED TRIAL
LITTLE NEW EVIDENCE GIVEN -
COURT ORDERS ALL SPECTA-
TORS SEARCHED.

Fort Worth, Tex, Nov. 10. Little
new evidence was brought out today
at the second trial OF John Beal
Sneed in the Seventeenth district
court for the killing OF Capt. A. e..
Boyce in this city Jan. 1S last. Ney-
ertheless the court room was well
filled with spectators, among whom
were at least fifty women.
For the first time since the begin
ming of the trial a week ago people
admitted to the court room were
searched tor concealed weapons by
the deputy sheriffs. This rule was
put into effect at the beginning OF
the afternoon session.
The room was already iull OF spec
tators when Judge Swayne entered
and ordered it cleared. Officers were
then placed at all doors and people
we're admitted one at time ana
searched. No weapons were found .
The defendant and his friends, VINO
did not leave the room, were also
searched, as were all others.
The trial is progressing rapidly
and at the present rate will be finish
ed in one third the time required at
the last hearing. The lawyers on
both sides know what evidence they
want and having heard all witnesses
on the -ureyious occasion are leav-
ing out much unnecessary testimony
that merely went to fill the record
and are avoiding wrangles, which
we're one of the features of the first
trial.
