to remove the latter and get the cash.

told by some boys that a man had
taken it. Chase was given and Snow
den was captured, he being pointed
out by the boys as the man they had
seen take the box When he was
captured nothing was found on him
to connect him with the robbery, the
cash box being found out in the road
later. Three boys who were witnesses
identified Snowden as a man who was
hanging around the stand and one of
the boys was positive he saw the fell
low move the empty box and take the
cash box. 1t was this boy who gave
the alarm.
Snowden did not have any witnesses
but himself. He admitted being on
the Fair ground, but denied taking the
money. He went to the place in re-

promised him work. He is an English
man and has no friends or acquaint-
