SNOWDEN TO TESTIFY
IN HIS OWN DEFENSE
Counsel For Alleged Murder Makes
Statement To This Effect
ACCUSED APPEARS NERVOUS
Exhibited Some Uneasiaess First Time
Today-His Former Con-
sort Testifies

That John Snowden. colored, aecus-
ed Of the murder of Mrs Lottie May
Brandon. at Annapolis on August
last. and who is now on trial in the
Circuit Court for Baltimore County at
Towson, will be placed upon the stand
in his own defense, when the final
stages OF the case are reached, was
the statement made this afternoon by
former State Senator A Theodore
Brady. of Annapolis, who is chief
counsel for the prisoner at bar.
Today marked the third day of the
murder trial and because of the ex-
tent to which the several witnesses
are being questioned, both on direct
and cross examination, it is regarded
as certain that the trial viii not be
completed before. perhaps, the middle
OF next week.
Snowden. it is stated, according to
information received from Towson
this afternoon, exhibited the first signs
OF nervousness, or for that matter, in
terest in the progress OF his trial,
when the proceedings got under way
this morning. There we're additional
tilts between the rival attorneys,
however, largely as the result of dis
putes as the regards the admissibility
of evidence For instance, an objec-
tion was entered in behalf OF the de-
fense to permitting the testimony Of
Edna Wallace, colored, a consort of
Snowden's, to so into the evidence.
However. it latter became a matter of
record. Later on, objection also was
made to allowing a signed statement
alleged TO have been made by the Wal
lace woman to the Baltimore City de-
tectives, but this, too, also was
admitted
The objection along this line was
based upon alleged conflict as re-
CARDS certain admissions which had
been made by the witness in her tesH-
mony, as compared to the statement
which the detectives secured from
her
1t was also contended by counsel for
the defense that The alleged murderer
had been unjustly treated at the hands
OF the Baltimore detectives when he
was subjected to the third degree
methods they employed. This, how
ever, was denied by Chief Deputy Mar
shal Of Police, Samuel House. of the
Baltimore City Detective force. There
was some question, too, as to the
testimony Of Detective Dougherty,
who first admitted that he did not act
ually witness the signature OF the
Wallace woman to the statement
which she gave the sleuths, but who
later said that what she had told him
was, in substance, contained in the
statement.
Among other witnesses who have
been summoned to testify in the case
are DR.. James j Murphy and Dr.
Louis B. Henkel, Jr., who have been
called as experts in behalf OF the
defense.

Attorneys Have a Clash.

=
Continuation of the trial yesterday
was characterized by personal clashes
between former Senator A. Theodore
Brady and ]. Gus Grason. of the de-
tense, and States Attorney Nicholas
Green, of Anne Arundel County.
Mr. Grason, during one of these
skirmishes, demanded to know why
Green had forced a change of venue,
when such move was made GUS
tomarily at the request of the de-
fense instead of the other way around.
States Attorney Green replied in a
manner which gave the impression
that he believed a jury in Annapolis
might have been unfit. The argument,
which then became rather more per-
sonal, was stopped at the interference
of the Court
Most of the testimony heard was
from medical experts, who expressed
opinions as to the direct causes of
Mrs. Brandon's death and the gen.
eral belief that she had been crimi-
naIly assaulted by the assassin. I'm
der fire of the defense, however, the
experts were forced to admit that they
lacked concrete evidence which might
prove that criminal assault had been
committed
Perhaps the most weighty evidence
brougln. out by the prosecution was
that which indicated that the accused
mans face had been scratched when
arrested and that the murdered
woman's finger nails had been exam
ined and found to hold small guam
tity Of skin in appearance, black.
Photographs of Snowden made after
his arrest and showing the scratches
and particles Of the skin found un-
der the dead woman's finger nails viii
be submitted as exhibits
During the beginning Of the wran-
gle between the opposing attorneys
Mr.. Grason asked why Snowden had
been spirited out of Annapolis and
taken to Baltimore after his arrest.
Mr.. Green replied that he had feared
an attempt at lynching.
Another thing, Mr. Grason came
back, why did you remove this case
from the county where the crime was
committed?-
Flushing angrily and leaning far to-
ward his questioner, Mr.. Green re-
piled: There is nothing / would like
better than to tell why / removed the
case from Annapolis. Yes, sir, and

THEM BACK

Mr. Lloyd George made d statement a lew days ago that
impressed us. as most OF his expressions do, as being full OF
common sense and entirely practical.
He suggested that alien enemies should be deported, and
sent back to Germany or Austria, or whatever country they
came from. He said that thousands Of them have been enjoying
the hospitality OF the British government for years, and that the
kindness tina, had been shown them was repaid by treachery
and deception, and conduct that rendered them dangerous to the
nation.
II that is good logic for England and the British colonies,
it is good for the United States. This country has millions
Of acres OF untitled soil and vacant places for workmen from
every cline ii they are respectable, l~aw-abiding and in sympathy
with the ideals OF this government
Bat there is in. our midst a small and disreputable element
that has occasoned this country no end Of trouble. 1t is this
element that Won Bernstorff, Capt. Boy-Ed and Won Papen dealt
through this assembly OF reasonable spirits that the kaiser
hoped to raise 100000 German reserves in the event the United
States manifested a disposition to go to war. He may have
received from Mr.. Gerard his first disillusion when he was told
that there we're in the United States $4,000 lamp posts.
In any event that was not the method the German SYM
%pathizcrs employed, but they did not cease their activity with
the entrance Of the United States into the war. The watchful eye
OF the government could not be permitted to stray from them for
a moment during the war. On every opportunity they endeav-
ocd to make trouble, and countless explosions, with their
accompanying deaths, revealed in a limited way the general
scheme OF their activity.
Now that the war is over, this agitation should cease. But
will it ceasct Not ii the German sympathizers in this country,
who are already pratinG about "a new Germany as though it
were a land entirely foreign to the one that sent forth soldiers
to butcher and burn, can prevent ii.
The United States has been even more kind and generous
to the Germans than Great Britain. They have come to this
country to make their fortunes, with no intention OF making it
their permanent home, They gave this country no end OF trou-
bic during the war, and as a matter 1 preeaution many of them
were placed in prisons. When peace is signed they will be
released. but they will have no higher regard for this country
and no more devotion to its ideals than they had when they
refused to establish their citizenship,
1t would be a wise precaution if everyone who has been con-
nected with anu-Anerlcan propaganda should be told to get
out Of the country for all time. Those who have stood in the
way of our efforts to establish freedom and safeguard the rights
of small nations are not entitled to share the fruits of victory,
that were earned over their protest.
