KIDNAP CHILDR EN-

FORT WORTH, TEXAS, Nov. 20
John b. Snead took the stand today in
his own behalf at his second trial for
the murder of Captain A. G. Boyce in
the ,Metropole hotel last winter. Snead
swore that when he found his wife and
Captain Boyce's son, with whom she
had eloped to Winnipeg, Canada, she
confessed that the Boyce family was
plotting to kidnap the Snead children
and send them to their mother in Can
ada.
w. \. Weaver, a Bokchito, Okla,
lawyer was arrested today charged
with perjury with the testimony he
gave yesterday. He had sworn that the
elder Boyce saw Snead in the MetrOpole
hotel and made a scurrilous remark
about him just a few moments before
the shooting occurred. The states at
torney swore out the perjury warrant
Later Weaver was released on $1,000
bail.

The governor said that ne did not
feel he would be doing right to "close
the door Of hope" either to young Hearn
or his sister. He believes that a bet
ter purpose can be served by sending
Hearn to the reformatory.
