Weird Spectacle Basis of
Many Legendary Proph-

BIZ United Press

DH IUtttU 1850
MUNICH, March 1S.-Each spring
from time immemorial, inhabitants
of the town of Oberstaufen. nestled
in the Bavarian Alps, have seen the
digits 1927" appear on the gaunt
rocks of the Nagelfluh mountain
chain. When the snow melts, this
mysterious sign vanishes. The weird
spectacle, recurring each year, has
given rise to legendary prophecies
regarding the ominous year 1927.
Sometimes the figures are even
discerned. until late into the sum-
mer. Scientists have attributed the
phenomenon to the effect of damp
ness, caused by melting snow, upon
the corroded rocks. Stone protuber-
ances and sparse vegetation favor
the periodic recurrence of this
miracle"
The local population is inclined
to ascribe supernatural portent to
this signal. Grandmothers, bending
over their spinning.wheels. long ago
drew significant conclusions from
the sight Of the 1927" high in the
alpine wilderness. The nearer the
yea1 1927 came, the roster the hopes
attached to it. Engagements, mar
riages and births were frequently
predicted for 1927 on the basis Of
this strange apparition. During the
war it was widely believed that the
hostilities would last until 1927.
Now that 1927 is at last well under
way, curiosity in this neighborhood
has increased. Peasant lads assert
that they will find brides this year,
young married couples reckon with
the arrival of their heirs before the
year has passed, and artists await
fame in 1927.

Mrs. Snyder Denied
Any God; Gray
Gave Argument

LONG ISLAND CITY, N. Y,
May 5.-Henry Judd Gray and
Mrs. Ruth Brown Snyder had q
hot argument over whether
there is a God, according to
Gray's testimony, which follows:
Q.-What did she say to you
and what did you say to her on
that particular morning?
A.-She asked me If ! would
think that she was terrible il
she confided in me this secret.
She did .confide that she was
thinking about doing, away with
her husband. ] did tell her that
thought she was terrible. /
don't remember exactly what en-
sued after that. I remember
after that we had a terrible
argument over the thing at that
time.
Q-Do you remember any of
the conversations during that
argument?
A.-No. I recall it was that
same night that the question
came up about believing in God.
She said that she did not be-
lieve in God. ! told her there
certainly must be a God, which
led to further argument over
this point. As say, / was in q

Gray's Story Differs
From Mrs. Snyder's

LONG ISLAND CITY, N. Y. May 6.--Under direct
questioning, Henry Judd Grays story differed from that
told by Mrs Ruth Brown Snyder in three essential points
First Gray testified that in March, 1926 on his first
visit to the Snyder home in Queens Village Mrs Snyder
had shown him bottle Of poison He said:
She showed the bottle and said that it contained
certain poison. asked her what she was keeping it
for and she said for animals asked her for what ami
mails and she said in the neghborhood. said it was
dangerous to keep poison around that way and asked
her to pour it out and she did.
Q.-And where was it poured?
Am the sink, as / recollect
Odd she tell you what kind Of poison it was2
A.-She did. She said it contained arsenic
In the third week Of February 1895, Gray said Mrs
Snyder had first talked of doing away with her hus-
band Mrs Snyder has denied all such insinuations in
her story.
At the Imperial Hotel Gray reported her a. follows:
As remember it. she told me would think she was
terrible she ccnfided secret to of doing away with
her husband2p
QAnd that the first time she spoke to you about
doing away with her husband?
A.-Yes sir.
The third divergence Of the two stories came in Cray
account Of the conversation with Mrs Snyder on July 16
1896 He said he had told Mrs Snyder that they had
better discontinue their intimacy and friendship He then
said his paramcur insisted that she would never give
him mp"
In her story Mrs Snyder continually insisted that she

and that Gray had threatened her 3 consequence.

Police still cling to their original
theory that the Baker boy was
not slain on the day he disappeared:
they hold that he was not in the
water 70 days. although that period
elapsed before the body was found.
A dozen persons have been ques-
toned at length: play1nates Of the
dead boy have been asked to tell
over and again their stories and
neighbours OF the family of. M. Y.

asked to explain every angle of

May 5.--One of the plans Mrs.
Ruth Snyder and Henry Judd
Gray considered in their efforts
to get rid Of Albert Snyder in
volved the use of a hired
assassin. The pair made efforts
to procure the services of such
character.
This was revealed today by
DR.. Siegfred Block, one of the
four alienists who subjected
Gray to a mental examination
before the trial started. DR..
Block said:
when Gray and Mrs. Snyder
decided assassination offered
the best means of carrying out
their plans, they made q trip

plan, 50 finally they abandoned
