SNOWOEN TO
HANG, SAYS.
+. COURT ).

ANNAPOLIS, Nd, Jan. 1e.--1n an
opinion delivered by Judge N. Charles
Burke this morning the Court Of Ap-
peals of Maryland affirmed the judg-
ment of the circuit court for Balti-
more county in which John Snowden,
an Annapolis negro. was convicted OF
the murder of Mrs. Lottie May Bran
don. a young Washington woman, on
August s.. 1917. in this city.
Snowden was sentenced TO be hung,
and the action of the court of appeals
today makes it practically certain the
sentence will be carried out. Those
close to Governor Harrington say he
is convinced of the guilt Of Snowden.
and will not hesitate to set a date for
the execution. 1t is likely to take
place about the middle of February.
Snowden. in spite Of the evidence
against him, persistently has de-
clared he is innocent. He has told
conflicting stories about his move
ments on the morning of the crime,
but he has resolutely declared he had
never seen Mrs. Brandon.
The killing OF Mrs. Brandon and
the incidents during the hunt for the
criminal constitute one of the most
sensational chapters in the annals of
crime in Annapolis and its vicinity.
Mrs. Brandon was a youthful wife
and expectant mother. living with
her husband. Valentine n. Brandon.
in a little home on Second street.
which runs from west street to the
Murray Hill section. Brandon. who
was employed at the naval expert
mental station, left his home before
: O'Clock on the morning of the day
of the crime. He returned after 5
o'clock p. IN. to find his wife dead
on couch in the front room OF the
first floor. Her clothing was torn
and disarranged, and there was a
big bruise on her forehead.

PARIS, Jan. 16.-The peace dele
gates decided today to call news
paper correspondents of the allied
representatives into conference for
"an interchange of views"
1t was believed the recent
secrecy" order would be brought up,
and it was predicted that it would be
materially modified.
In the meantime the storm of pro-
test against confning news of the
conferences to the Official COM
munfque is increasing. ..
In addition, the announcement was
made that correspondents would not
lie permitted inside the foreign office
building, as they were Sunday.
A French flunkie wore himself ont

fine the official information to the

among the American Newspaper men
today that much now depends on any
possible action of the American Com
gress as to whether a right to all
facts shall be demanded
The gag rule" was apparently ef-
fectiye as a result of the resolution
taken by the peace delegates:
Should the situation continue as IL
stands today. with the only source OF

means that the American Congress, as
we'll as the people of the United
States. would lack the important de-
tails surrounding these decisions and
the debate which accompanied them.
Both the American and ritish press
representatives are emphatically pro-
testing against this method Of pro-
cedure. II has not yet been stated
whether this means that the Ameri-
can commissioners will not receive
the reporters in audience for confiden-
tial talks. but the facts indicate that

burn all the opium on hand.
What she is doing with opium is
more than we did with whiskey In
