Deep Fat Frying
Deep fat frying is to be recon-
mended in place of saueing (Which
is browning in small quantity OF
fat), as then there is less absorp-
ton Of the fat. Careful regulation
Of the temperature in heating the
fat will minimize both the decom-
position and absorption of the fat.
Thorough draining on an absorbent
paper will dispose Of the surplus
fat. Cooking in fat is common. SUI
perior cooking is exceptional. Exact
fat cooking is possible only when a
thermometer is used.
Doughnuts
Two eggs, three tablespoons lat
melted, one and one-half cups sweet
or sour milk, six teaspoons baking
powder, or one and oen-half tea
spoons baking powder with two
thirds teaspoon soda, one and one
half cups sugar, six cups flour, one
teaspoon salt, one-half teaspoon
vanilla and one teaspoon nutmeg.
Mix and sift the dry ingredients.
Combine the beaten eggs, milk,
vanilla and melted fat. Mix these
liquids lightly into the dry ingre--
dients. Shape into ball and knead
in enough extra -four to prevent the

forty seconds. The daughnuts
should rise quickly. Turn as soon
as they rise and leave this side
down until Drowned. Turn back to
brown the first side. Remove when
Drowned and drain on paper. The
whole process should take three and
one-half to four minutes.

powdered sugar in box or paper
bag and put four or five of the
cooled doughnuts at a time into the
bag. Shake until coated with sugar.

 They became as intimate" he said, "as any two being can be. But this woman is not being tried for adultery.
 Tt was Judd Gray who first men, toned insurance and advised Mrs. snyder that her husband ought to be covered. Snyder had recently had two automobile accidents. Mrs. Snyder spoke to her husband and he said to get the insurance man.
 There was no concealment. Shy der knew what he was doing and instructed his wife to have the poli- cies taken out. The premiums were paid from joint account so there could have been no secret.
 After the premiums had been paid they decided together that the 1 financial burden was too great She went to the insurance company twice to see about cancellation and was advised that she could not with draw her premiums for three years.

 we will show you" he shouted. that Judd Gray was the motivating ! personality behind all this, that he was continually broke and planned to get money by whatever means" | Hazelton then took up the reports of previous attempts on Snyders life | before he was finally murdered.
 Why you know how accidents 1 happen" he said. When gas 1 tube came loose and endangered Snyder, Mrs. Snyder wrote Judd Gray and he wrote back You ought to get long tube and put it in under i the governors nose. He called Shy der the governor.
 Tt was Gray. with his eye on that | insurance. who pressed her 10 get rid of the governor and threatened to kill both her and himself if she did not take her husbands life.
 Gave Her Sashwcight
 "On March they met and he gave her a package which he said contained reducing hip roller she had wanted.
 When she got home and opened the bundle, there was the sashweight,
 "Gray, following his nefarious plan. had enclosed a letter in the bundle in which he said he was com ing on March to get the governor i Put this weight under the pillow in mothers room,' he wrote. There was also powders in the bundle to gi-e the governor at supper
 Says She Refused
 Judd Gray came on March and asked if she would let him do it.
 She said. Judd. you're crazy. No, never
 Then he threatened her but she was adamant and he went away"
 After this. Ha2elton said the matter was dropped until March 16, when Mrs. Snyder got a letter saying he was going to do the job" On March 19, enclosing more pow ders.
 "She threw the powders away" he said. and she had returned the sashweight before.

ment was taken until ! o'clock to permit counsel to prepare motions. When court convened counsel for both defendants made numerous motions, asking dismissal Of the charges. declaration of a mistrial, or instructions to the jury to return a verdict of not guilty. All were de- nied by Justice Scudder.
 Hazelton announced last night he had not yet decided whether he would call Mrs. Snyder's nine year old daughter. Lorraine, as a witness. It was Lorraine who was summoned on the morning of March 20 by her mother as Mrs. Snyder lay bound In her Queens village home and told to summon the nelghbors. She was not called by the state.
 Most of yesterdays session was consumed by testimony Of witnesses from Syracuse who told Of establish ing an alib! for Gray on March 19 and 20 and of disposing Of his blood stained clothing.
 Haddon Gray. an intimate friend of Henry Judd Gray. but not relat- ed. told how he mailed several let ters; phoned the office of the hotel where H. J. Gray was staying that he (posing as H. J. Gray) did not wish to be disturbed: hung don't disturb" sign on H. J. Gray's door and unused the bed to make it appear 1t had been slept in. H. J, Gray told him. he testified that he wanted to keep a date" with a girl friend" at Albany and wanted to keep it secret from his wife.
 He told also Of H. J. Gray's re- turn with bloody clothing. of a tale of burglary in which II. J. Gray played the part Of q spectator and of having the clothing burnt.
 This testimony was corroborated by Harry Platt Of Syracuse, his stenographer, her husband, and 8 janitor. Haddon Gray and Platt admitted they had lied when brought to New York and question. ed by the district attorney. Haddon Gray said he did so because he thought he was protecting Gray from becoming the victim Of cir cumstances and Platt because he didn't want to bring his stenograph- CT into the case.
 Counsel for Mrs. Snyder asked if their delay in telling the truth was not caused by their desire to com pare notes so they would tell the same story and because they feared indictment themselves as accessories to the murder. This they vigorous .ly denied.
 Court Room Crowded
 The court room was packed like a push hour subway car by 9 o'clock this morning.
 Admission was still by card only, but dards seemed easy to get by those who had friends at court and almost as many were standing in the asi>as as had seats.
 The spacious glass domed room seats app roximately 400 with its improved press tables and with the

But yon can realize what her condition must have been. She re- acted just as you or l would.
 She went to the card party and returned expecting to see Gray, and she did see him in the dark of her mothers room.
 When her daughter and hus- Gray. She had put bottle under the pillow and he had drunk most of the whiskey.
 "She sat on the bed and he kissed her and felt his rubber gloves.
 He asked if she meant to so through and she said no. but he said he would do it himself. "She begged and pleaded and cried. She got him downstairs. He had a revolver in his hand and threatened her.
 Saw Gray Kill Synder
 She ran upstairs and while she was in the bathroom she heard a heavy thud She rushed out and there she saw Judd Gray straddling the prostrate form of Albert Shy der and beating him to death.
 "She tried to draw Gray off but he pushed her and she fell. faint ing away.
 When she came to. the deed was done, and the bloody print of Gray's hand where he had pushed her was on her breast" Hazeltou said Gray then told the woman that she must help in the robbery alibi, "because they were both in it now and the blood on her gown would convict her" Was in Gray's Power
 "He planned the alibi and then revealed that the insurance was his motive. When she knew at last that not love of her, but only love of money had actuated him. she became terrified and did blindly what she was bid. For she knew then that she was in the power of Q mercenary monster"
 Address Is Emotional Hazelton's address was exceeding ly emotional. He worked himself into a frenzy of oratory and acted out his story of the murder so realistically that he tore his own starched collar from his neck. Mrs. Snyder showed great inter. est in the address, holding from time to time and seeming to take real pleasure in 1t. She kept handkerchief in her hand. Gray listened attentively but re- mained slumped in his chair and his expression seldom changed. Once he glared at Hazelton as de- tails of the murder were told.
 The court room crowd was brcathlessly still with one exception. When the lawyer told of Gray pushing his client from the bed and of her fainting. he remarked: "She is the type of woman who faints easily"
 Crowd Gets a Laugh
 Then the spectators burst into 9 sudden involuntary laugh and at tendants shouted for order.
 Brief adjournment was taken be- fore beginning the opening state mcnt for Gray.

standees almost twice that number were in court today.
 Mrs. Snyder had been the big target for curious eyes ever since ! the trial opened a week ago last | Monday.
 Word Picture of Defendant She is above the average height l for a woman. and is of large sta ture. Squaroly built and 1.-the of movement. she strides to her seat as each session opens rather as though she was there in some directing ca pacity than as q defendant, accused of an atrocious murder She is 32 years old. has blonde bobbed hair and a naturally high color. She is dressed In black, outwardly mourning for the hus- band she Is accused Of killing, but her garments are In the latest style. Many observers see a bit of irony in this outward display of grief. A knee-length dress reveals sheer silk stockings and dainty slippers. Her hat is of the latest sport va riety, a close-titting felt with a slop- ing two-inch brim. And about her neck is long necklace Of black beads that she fingers necessarily.
 Mrs. Snyder's most striking fea- ture Is her chin, jutting out straight from the throat The woman has blue eyes and a mobile mouth that constantly forms buttered objections to adverse testimony.
 She has taken acute and active interest in the trials progress. con- sulting her attorneys constantly and directing their efforts in the fight for her life.
 She has provided striking con- trast to her co-dcfendant and former lover, Henry Judd Gray, who has slumped despondently in his chair, staring at the floor and apparently obvious Of his surroundings.
 The defense began with the open ing statement of counsel for Mrs. Snyder. made by Edger F. Hazelton, after Justice Scudder warned that any noise among the spectators would result in clearing of the court
  room.
 Hazelton Immediately announced that Mrs. Snyder would take the witness stand in her own defense.
 Loved First Sweetheart
 First we will show you" he said that the defendant Snyder married her husband when she was very young and after Snyder's first fancee had died. He did not forget that first woman. He even named his boat for her. the Jessie Gerhardt.'
 "Only three months after the mar riage he repulsed Ruth Snyder and said that if his first sweetheart had lived. he would never have married this defendant.
 Pickering started but she remain ed faithful and bore that man a child to try to bring back love into that house.
 But the father was the incom- patible pal of the defendant, and the child annoyed him.
 Pickering grew worse and worse. He was a good provider but love was not in his heart.
 Moral Till Gray Came
 Mrs. Snyder. however, though she may have gone out with men. mor- ally was faithful until she met Henry Judd Gray who found her a it tool for his nefarious plans."
