Jury to return a verdict Of guilty OF

against Sir Roger.

Mr.. SNYDER DID NOT HIT
Girls With HIS fists

Through an error in the report of
the proceedings Of the case OF Jacob
f. Snyder in the City Court yesterday
the statement was made that Mr.
Snyder bad struck two girls he had
found in his automobile with his fists
and with a carriage whip. There was
no testimony in the case to the effect
that Mr.. Snyder had struck any Of
the children with his fist. or touched
them. with his hand. The testimony
was that he had struck the girls
with a whip to get them out OF
his automobile and that he had been
annoyed by the girls getting into his
car.
Mr. Snyder does not consider that
MS act was abuse OF the children, even
in the ordinary sense OF that form. His
intention was merely to scare the
children so they would keep out oi
the car, he says.
