SNYDER IN TILT
WITH EX-CL.ERk
Bankruptcy Hearing Marked by
Clashes Between Merchant
and Former EmpIoye.

Louis Snyder, the bankrupt cloth
ing dealer of Newark and Elizabeth,
was put under further examination
in bankruptcy court proceedings yes
terday afternoon. The probe was
marked by frequent interruptions
while Snyder and q former clerk,
John A. Levy, engaged in several
tits.
Snyder repeatedly censiired Levy
each time he was called on to men,
ton the former employees name. He
attacked Levy's character.
Snyder said he had to discharge
Levy. Levy says he left.
George Furst, representing Edwin
r. Semple, receiver for Snyder, asked
Snyder to explain certain entries in
the latters books. Mr.. Snyder went
along all right until he came to
Leyy's account. Then he started to
score Levy. When Levy started to
defend himself he was stopped by the
receivers counsel.
What was the value of the goods
sold by Mr.. Levy on November IS,
as shown by the book?" asked Mr..
Furst.
II can't tell you how much worth
he solo, was Snyder's reply. 81 can
only tell you how much he turned in

worth of clothing. That means he
must have sold at least about $3.50.
| Sometimes he got more than did a
| Mr.. Furst asked Snyder to give his
| testimony from the books.
! Don't you want the truth?' the
witness said in reply.
| Mr.. Snyder was then asked what
| the duties of the various employees
were in the store. He enumerated
| their duties until he came to explain
| the duties of John Raisin, porter, of
20 Nevada street.
HE didn't do much else than run
out after whiskey for the thief" said
! Mr.. Snyder. He did very little real
work: occasionally did some packing
and unpacking."
| Raisin was called and questioned
about certain books which Snyder
said did not exist. Raisin said he
often took the books from a table
near the safe upstairs in the balcony
where the Office was located. When
| asked who put the books on the table,
| he said Snyder did.
Other witnesses corroborated the
| statements that Snyder kept books
| other than those he produced at the
bankruptcy hearing. They identified
cash slips that Snyder said had all
been destroyed" Attorney F'urst is
searching for the books which he says
he thinks Snyder is concealing.

Explosion in Kearny Home
Skaters Window; No One Hurt

A few inutes after Mrs. Mary Grew
cock, of "a Dukes street, Kearny,
made a fire in the stove OF the
kitchen OF her home today there was
an explosion and the stove was blown
apart. windows in the house were
shattered. Luckily no one was in
the kitchen at the time of the explo-
sion. An attempt was made to sound
an alarm on the Kearny fire bells,
but the number was jumbled up.
The chemical automobile answered
the alarm. About a block away is
the headquarters of Hose Company
No. 2 and Truck No. 2. The APP
paratus of neither company was
taken from the quarters. That the
fire alarm system will fail to work
when a serious blaze occurs in the
town Is feared by many.
