SNOWDEN TELLING
CONFLICTING TALES
Baltimore Police Marshal Says
Net Is Tightening Around
Accused Negro.
ON VERGE OF BREAKDOWN

Special Dispatch 10 The Star.
BALTIMORE, Md, August 16.-On the
verge of n nervous breakdown. John
Snowden, the negro charged with the
murder of Mrs. Lottie Nay Brandon. at
Annapolis. again was interrogated close
ly today by Marshal Carter and his de-
tectives. who are working on the case.
To all of the damaging evidence against
him, repeated time and again. the negro
replied with gulps and rolling of eyes.
The prisoner has developed an OBJ
session for burnt match sticks, ac-
cording to the detectives. AS they talk
to him he continually searches the floor
for them. Discovering one. he retrieves
it and breaks il in his mouth. chewing
it violently.
We have the man: there is no ques-
ton in my mind that Snowden is the
guilty negro" said Marshal Carter. I'VE
can prove that he came out of the
Brandon home around noon on the day
the young woman was found murdered
We can prove that he has scratches on
his face and arms. and can show that
he got those marks on that day.
"Snowden's stories are conflicting. He
admits he was near the Brandon home
on the morning of the murder. He said
he saw another negro running away
from the Brandon home that day. When
he nodded emphatic approval of de-
scription of this supposed negro's 8
clothing, he gave the description OF his
own clothing. for I had purposely de-
scribed the clothing Snowden wore
when he was seen in that neighbor-
hood. =

Designation by Numbers Only.

The new practice of numerical desig-
nation for brigades is carried out. the
15lst and 152d Infantry brigades and
the 151s- Artillery brigade going into
the 10th Infantry Division. National
Army. The 151st fnfa brigade will
be composed of the 3o1st and 3O2d In
fantry regiments. and as this is the
first OF the National Army division, all
unit designations below the brigade also
will begin with 301. Rrigades. reei-
ments. trains and ma chine gun units in
