A private crop report making the

however, appeared to be offset to a

RUTH GROVELS.
ASKS MERCY

NEW YORK, July 21.--Frightened
by the shadow of death; Ruth
Brown Snyder has turned in her
extremity to Henry Judd Gray, the
corset salesman Romeo, who helped
her kill her husband Albert.
She has appealed to Gray to take
all responsibility for the brutal
sashweight murder, so that she can
go free to do her utmost to save
him from the death penalty.
From an unimpeachable source
in Sing Sing prison comes this in
credible picture of Ruth Snyder, a
woman whose name has become a
byword for steely courage, groveling
for mercy before the man whom
she used in murder-whom she
called weak" and yellow"
Today it became known that the
Queens Village blonde has asked a
death house attendant to convey
this message to Gray.
II you win take full responsible.
ity for Albert's death, and exon.
crate me, l will when set free, de.
vote all my time and funds in say

She is asking for gallantry from
Judd Gray who, only two months
ago, sat in a witness box and cut
the most ungallant figure ever seen
in an American courtroom as he
blubbered cut the story that sent
her to the death house on her way
to the grave.
Lewis E. Lawes, warden of Sing
Sing prison. said he knew nothing
about the plea of Mrs. Snyder, and
the keeper who took Mrs. Snyder's
message refused to say whether he
delivered it.
It is highly impossible that
prison officials would put such a
proposition up to Gray, but such a
deal, which in prison vernacular is
called taking the rap" Is often
made between prisoners implicated
in the same crime.
Ruth Snyder's problems are
further complicated by the reported
dissolving Of the partnership OF
Edgar Hazleton and Dana Wallace,
who defended her in the murder
trial.
That strained relations existed
between this pair 90 some time
was common knowledge in Jamaica,
where they have offices in the
Higbie Building.
Today it was learned that Wal
lace will move his belongings from
the Hazleton Wallace offices within
a week
The pair, it is expected, will work
together on the Snyder appeal,
however.
Wallace would neither confirm
nor deny the report, and Hazleton
