special to Daily Nsws. -,
VERNON, Texas, Feb. 25.-Ful-
filling predictions OF those who have
closely followed progress OF the ease
for the past two weeks, the jury IN
the case OF John Beal Sneed. charged
with the murder of Al G. Boyce, Jr.
in Amarillo on the afternoon OF Sep
tember Il, 1912, returned a verdict
OF mot guilty"
The verdict came after less than
ten minutes deliberation, the jury
taking the case under consideration
at an early hour this morning.
Sneed and his attorneys gave out
ward evidence OF qualification over
the verdict, and the defendant OF
yesterday, today a free man, receiy-
ed many congratulatory kilograms
throughout the day.
This outcome had been freely pre-
dicted by the friends of the accused
and others who had kept closely IN
touch with the proceedings al Yer
non during the past two weeks.
This action upon the part OF the
jury marks another and distinctive
step in tragedy which had its begin
ming in a domestic drama. the details
OF which are familiar not alone In
Amarillo, but practically to the en-
tire Southwest. More than year
ago, according to allegations set up
in the courts and elsewhere, Al G..
Boyce eloped with Mrs. Lena Snyder
Sneed, going from Fort Worth
hospital TO Winnipeg, Canada. AZ
ter the return of Mrs. Sneed to Tex
as, but prior TO the reappearance oil
her alleged paramour on the scene
of action, Beal Sneed shot and killed
Co. 4. G.. Boyce. father Of the youn-
ger man, In a Fort Worth hotel. Az
ter two trials upon this charge, Sneed
was restored to liberty, by the jury.
Then came the killing of the young
er Boycc. and now twelve men have
said by their verdict the man
whose home has been wrecked, that
he is not guilty Of murder.
II is probable that no other case
OF a similar character has occupied
so much space In the public prints OF
the country, a fact attributable to
the prominence OF both the families
so intimately involved. The public
prints OF practically every city In
the country reproduced not only
lengthy accounts OF the killings. the
incident court procedure, but like
wise views OF the homes OF the famil-
les. the courthouses and officials and
other places OF actual or supposed in
terest.

Things Breakable,
UNITED PRESS 1uAsnD WHEEL

Washington, D. c., Dec. 5.--During
the next four weeks Uncle Sam 3 infant
parcel post service-will
be called upon to perform herculean
task in connection with the transporta-
tion and delivery of millions of Christ
mas gifts. Postmaster General Burle-
son, who is responsible for the conduct
of this service, has made extraordinary
preparations to prevent congestion in
postoffices and to insure prompt deliv-
cry of these parcels. Several thousand
additional employees will be added to
the force curing the holiday season and
the collection and delivery equipment
will be augmented wherever necessary.
Every possible effort has been made to
strengthen those parts Of the postal or
ganiation which will be under great
est strain and Mr.. Burleson stated to-
day that with these special arrange
ments he is confident of the ability of
the service to handle successfully the
avalanche of parcels that will be thrown
upon it during the rush period.
The postmaster general is anxious,
however, least the public fail to CO.
operate with him in observing certain
important conditions necessary to en-
eble the postal authorities to effect the
timely delivery Of Christmas gifts. In
order to secure this cooperation he has
caused to be printed for distribution
throught the country hundreds of thous.
ands of circulars and placards contain
ing directions for the proper preparation
of Christmas gifts for transmission by
mail.
Christmas parcels should be mailed
early. For local delivery they should
be mailed not later than December %
and for out-of-town delivery as early
as possible, but in any event in time
to reach the offices of destination al
least two days prior to Christmas.
