Cheers Greet Verdict of
Murder In First De

NEW YORK, May 8 (A9.-Mrs. Ruth
Brown Snyde. and Henry Judd Gray,
her corset salesman paramour, are to
pay with their lives for the crime that
snatched them from obscurity and
made them internationally known.
Deliberating less than two hours, a
jury today convicted them for the muir
der of Mrs. Snyder's husband, Albert
Snyder, magazine art editor. Death
sentence is mandatory for first degree
murder, but the formality of sentence
was postponed until next Monday
morning.
Cheers greeted the verdict, when it
was flashed to the crowd outside Long
Island Citys supreme court. Inside the
court the verdict was received in 81
lence. Neither defendant exhibited any
great emotion and seemed to be either
too dazed to fully comprehend it's i'm
port or only hearing what they had
expected
When, after the usual formalities, the
foreman uttered his "both guilty of
murder in the first degree" Mrs. Sny-
der's blond head, professionally dressed

jerked perceptibly. Her eyes, rowing
like those of one fainting fixed upon
the square shoulders of her erstwhile
lover Then she stiffened, her head
came back into position, and thus, erect
and proud, she sat while the jury was
polled.
But Gray, whose plea of dominance
by the superior mind of Mrs. Snyder
had led some to believe him less the
stole than the woman who inSinuated
murder into his head, mad emo more
fuss about the matter than she. His
face was slightly flushed as he entered
the courtroom behind the jurors. 1t
retained that flush as he heard his
fate. But his weak eyes peered queerly
through his Spectacles and one hand
went, almost as if by reaction to his
legs, where one set of electrodes are
fastened by the verdict. Then he, too,
pulled himself together and sat rigidly
erect without turning for glimpse of
Mrs. Snyder, who sat behind him.
They were led, one at time, before
the bench and then taken to the OBJ

The Yaqui Indians are clean
ing out ranches $50 miles south
of the border, in the vicinity Of
Pastoria, of all horses, according
to telegram received by Bob
Slaughter, Jr., late yesterday
from his foreman, Bill Potts. The
wire was sent from MOctezuma.
A Mexican government air
plane landed at El ROdeO, a few
miles from the Slaughter ranch
raid, Friday, Potts wired. He did
not say whether any action was
taken by the plane.
Slaughter yesterday Titled
Mexican military authorities at
NOgales of the attack on his
ranch, requesting that action be
taken against the Yaquis.
The wire from Potts reads as
follows:
"Yaquis in camp at PastOria.
Airplane landed at Ell ROdeO Fri
day. Yaquis cleaning ranches Of
horses. On trail Of Lupia in
Basura country"
Slaughter believe sthat Lupia,
mentioned in the telegram, is the
Mexican woman who disappeared
from the ranch yard at the time
of the attack while washing.
The Slaughter Land and Cattle
company's ranch $50 miles south of
Douglas in the state of Sonora, Mex
leo, an American owned property,
was turned into a shambles by q
band of Yauui Indian
warriors, and Mrs. Bob Slaughter,
Jr., pretty young wife of the man
ager, held captive by the Indians for
several hours until her husband pro-
vided ransom for her release on May
>, according to Mr.. and Mrs Slaugh-
ter's story told on arrival from the
here yesterday.
Mrs. Slaughter was released by the
Yaquis after her husband arranged
to give the chief IS horses and made
for the purchase of SO
suits of blue denim clothing for his
band. The Indians also demanded
$500 in gold, but withdrew this de-
mand when Slaughter told their
leader that he did not have the cash
at the ranch.
Fearing further trouble from the
marauding Yaquis, Mr. and Mrs.
after her release, stole
from their ranch on horseback early
in the morning of May to reach
by noon. They made
their way to Nacozari by automobile
and came to Aqua Prieta, adjacent
to Douglas, by motor car Monday
