Judd Had Been Drinking
Twenty minutes later, she went

said.
She sat down on the bed. Judd

those rubber gloves on his hands
and she cried:
" My God. Judd. you aren't going

was with her"
Gray showered affection on Mrs.
Snyder such as she had not re-
ceived in IL years" Hazleton said,
"and they gave way to the passions
of each other"
Gray seemed near collapse as
Hazleton shouted,
We will not deny their adulter-
Gus relations. They made a ter. day
trip upstate last fall.
Borrowed Cash From Her
Hazleton charged that in the lat.
tire part of 1929 Gray told Mrs.
Snyder he carried 10000 Of insur.
ance, and wanted to know why her
husband didn't carry more than
81 900. That was why she spoke
to her husband about taking out
more insurance.
Hazleton said when Snyder's life
insurance was raised to $50 900.
double indemnity, Snyder. was in
full accord with the plan.
There was no subterfuge. no
concealment about it, he said. Mr..
and Mrs. Snyder talked 1t over
Hazelton declared that the de-
Tense would prove that Mrs. Snyder
never had as a motive for murder
the insurance of her husband. He
asserted that Gray often took
money from Mrs. Snyder-sixty dol
lars for payment on his auto; $50
for another purpose; and $25 for
another. He said Gray took $3.50
of $500 Christmas present that
Mrs. Snyder's mother gave her.
Judd Gray was the motivating
cause behind all this" Hazelton
shouted, shaking his finger in
Gray's face. His objective was the
procuring of money"
Mrs. Snyder, attired in black and
sitting erect at counsel's table,
nodded approvingly. while Gray, his
head bowed as If in shame, seemed
about to fall off his chair to the
floor.
Spectators were ten deep around
the walls listening to Hazelton
throw the blame for the murder on
Gray.
Explains Gas Episode.
Referring to Gray's confession,
In which Gray charged that Mrs,
Snyder made several attempts 20

Hazelton explained.
The idea of killing Snyder be-
came an obsessien with Gray"
Hazelton charged. He said to
Mrs. Snyder: You are unhappy
you ought to get rid of him.
Mrs. Snyder treated the idea
casually at first. Hazelton said.

could have divorced him."
Didn't Know 1t Was Sash
One day in New York she met
Gray in Henri's Restaurant. She
had asked Gray to get a pinch

her a package. saying: Take this

There were couple Of powders
in the package.
Give them to the governor"
Gray said, according to Hazleton.
She threw them away, however,
Hazleton said.

Hazleton said, she told him: This

Mrs. Snyder could have had her

TEST OF SUTTON DRY CONCENTRATOR IN
NOGALES, SONORA PROVES BIG SUCCESS

In Nogales, Sonora, several
days ago, number of Nogales
business men who are interested in
the Kino Copper Company wit
messed test Of a Sutton Dry
Concentrator on q quantity of ore
from the Red Mountain property
Iof the company named.
A lot of rock carrying two per
cent copper, as shown by assay
by Mark Wanless, was treated
upon the new machine, and pro-
duced a concentrate that assayed
eight per cent copper, which would
ray handsomely to ship to smelt-
er. TIE weight of the product
was just one-sixth of the weight
o1 the ore treated. In other words
tie ore was reduced "six into
-one" as expressed in technical
description. The copper in the
concentrates is in sulphide form,
cry easily and cheaply smelted.
The concentrating table is an
adaptation on large scale of the
old fashioned dry washer, used so
many years in extracting gold
from placer ground where water
is not available. The rock to be
concentrated is ground fine, and
the pulp run through a "size"
bailt upon the principle of a flour
separator. That classifies the
small particles, and separation
can be made Of nine different
sizes of pulverized ore. Each size
Is run separately over a concen-
t,'ating table, and where a plant
is built upon large scale to hand
le daily one thousand tons or more.
one table handles single size.
For ordinary use five sizes are
sufficient. The table presents
t. inspection canvass surface
with rifles, and it is tipped
toward end and one side.
The table is agitated gently by an
electric or gasoline motor, and an
air blast underneath the canvass
lifts the surface of the canvass
slightly. The pulp is fed into the
highest corner Of the table, and
The air blast lifts the gangue over
Nogales international., 1927-02-27

the RIFLES, down to the lower side
OF the table. The heavier parti-
cles of metal follow along the riff
files, and separate as they travel.
When they reach the ends of the
rifles they make their way down
the incline to the lower side, the
heaviest going farther than the
highest, and each kind (iron, cop
per. lead, and zinc going down by
themselves, demarkation being
visible plainly. At the lower side
movable chutes catch the separate
streams Of metal, and conduct them
into separate containers. In that
way separate components of COM
plex ores are separated and saved,
those with values dead, zinc, cop
per, etc. can be shipped; and the
gangue, iron, etc., cast away. Gold
and silver, if any, are carried in
the lead or copper, and are saved
at the refinery.
A plant of Sutton concentrators
that can handle 200 tons of ore
daily at profit can be installed
and set into operation at less than
$4,000.
The fame of the Red Mountain
ore body of the Kino Copper Com
pany is extending far and wide,
and there have been several pro-
positions to purchase the proper
ty outright by men Of great fin
ancial resources, who could erect
a great plant and operate the prop
erty upon a colossal scale. The
company is willing to deal with
anyone of that kind, and it is
preparing an assay map to SUBJ
nit to reputative purchasers. Tom

is taking samples in the ore body
