Second SNgED
TRIAL AT HAND
Interest Is Resumed In q
Bloody feud Between fami.

Earlier Days Families Had
Been Intimately As
ISOLATED

FORT WORTH, Texas, Nov. S.
With the approach Of the second trial
of J. B. Sneed for the murdaer Of A.
G. Boyce, ST., which Is on the court
docket for next week, public interest
in the bloody feud existing between
the Snded and the Boyce families,
both wealthy and we'll known through.
out the state Of Ttxas. has become
revived Not for many years. II ever.
has there been a case known In this
state which was so full of the most
sensational detail and in which so
many men OF great wealth and social
Importance played an active part.
The Sneed and the Boyce families
are among the most prominent In the
Panhandle region of Texas. They
have large property interests in the
way of banks, ranches and farms
and their wealth Is estimated at sew
eral millions. The heads of the fami.
lies were intimately associated with
each other in the earlier days and
their children grew up together. j..
p. Sneed, the defendant in the COM
ing trial, and the younger Of his two
victims, A. G. Boyce, Jr.. were stud
ents together at Southwestern Uniyer.
sity, Georgetown, Texas, but love for
Lena Snyder, the beautiful daughter
of a well.to-do land owner OF central
Texas, made the two young men first
rivals, then bitter enemies and event
ually caused the feud which, up to
the present time, has cost the lives OF
six persons.
Miss Snyder seemed to be fond of
both young men, and not until after
she had married j. Beal Sneed did
she discover that she was really in
love with Boyce. She did not have
the strength of character to resist the
impulses Of her heart and. soon after
her marriage to Sneed she began to
have secret meetings with Boyce,
which became more frequent after the
Sneeds took up their residence at
Amarillo, where Al Boyce, Jr., lived.
On the night of October 10, 1911.
Mrs. Sneed informed her husband
that she loved Al Boyce and would not
live with him any longer. Sneed. who
was devoted to his beautiful wife, be-
.tame furious and would have killed
his wife and himself had not one of
his little children come into the room
at the time. On the following day,
however, he had her taken to a pri.
vate s%anitarium for insane persons, at
Arlington Heights, near Fort Worth.
A few weeks later Mrs. Sneed man.
aged to send a letter to AL Boyce, her
lover, begging him to release her from
her prison.
AL Boyce drew a large sum of money
and went to Fort Worth, 'bribed one
of the attendants of the sanitarium
and through him secured the release
of Mrs. Sneed. Boyce and Mrs. Sneed
eloped to the north, going first to st.
Louis, then to Omaha. At Omaha
Boyce learned that Sneed was in hot
pursuit and without delay he fled
with Mrs. Sneed to Chicago and

Of thirty months in the federal peni-

Special agents of the department OF
Justice had spent much time after his
indictment two years ago in attempt
ing to trace clues of alleged previous
crimes, but were unable to find evi-
dence. After tho prison barber had
shaved and cropped Hillman, however,

The fire in San Francisco iu 1905
destroyed nearly all the criminal rec

saved. There is no record Of what
became of Hillman after his arrest,
and the special agents have no trace
of him from the day of his arrest until
when he arrived at Seattle in 1908
and began to amass his vast fortune
