Tells Story Step BY Step
Step by step. then. the district
attorney pictured to the jury the
elaborate but stupid precautions
taken to make the murder appear
as a robbery.
He told Of the overturned chairs.

finally of Mrs. Snyder's being
trissed up with rope and a gag TO
make the picture complete.
The murder of Albert Snyder, New

deliheration and generalization.
We will show you, he promised
the jury. that Snyder was slated
for killing on March T." Snyder was
actually killed on the night of March
10.
Newcombe's address to the jury
was complete story of the crime.
related in a blunt, matter-of-fact
manner which accumulated its hor-
rible aspects. He first pictured to
The jury the intimacy OF Ruth Brown

He told Of the growth of their az

Gentlemen of the jury" began
Newcombe, "the defendants. Ruth
Snyder and Henry Judd Gray, have
been indicted for the murder in the
first degree, with generalization, on
March 20, last. just five weeks ago.
Recites Early History OF Case
''The dead man was of the old.
fashioned type. He liked TO stay
about home. fix his automobile and
do things about the house.
Mrs. Snyder liked gayety. She

By International News seryic,

NEW YORK, April 25.-A sensa.
ton was caused in society circles

III. Mccormick, OF Chicago, multi
millionaire chairman of the board of
the International Harvester Com.
pany. had secretly married his sec.
rotary, Miss Alice M. Holt, at Dub
lin, N. H., last Friday. Mccormick
il IS: his bride is said to be 40.
The couple sailed Friday night for
Europe.
On the return of the couple to
this country they viii live in the
Mccormick mansion in Chicago.
McCormick's first wife. who was
Harriet Hammond, died in 1921
after a long illness. She was prom
inent, in many philanthropic

1t is understood that the two
sons will loin their father and

HER
ATTACKER

Philip Jackson, alleged colored as.
saulter of Mrs. Daisy yelling, Dris-
coll Hotel telephone operator, on
the night OF February is, in the
Capitol Grounds was today put on
trial in Criminal Court No. 1.
The Government, through United
States Assistant District Attorney
William H. Collins asked for the
death penalty. His victim went
on the stand and identified him
again. Jackson's defense is an alibi.
Hundreds sought admission to
the court room but only a few were
admitted. Justice Hoehling said to
the fourteen white women specta.
tors in the court:
The testimony in this case will
be offensive to refined women.
Those of you who are here through
idle curiosity may leave, at this
point, il you desire.
Two women left Immediately, fol.
lowed by four more a little later.
John I'll. Wilson, colored, lawyer,
was appointed by the court to de.
fend jackson.
He told the jury that Jackson was
not the man EnaC perpetrated the
crime. Three witnesses, he, said
will testify that jackson was not
out of the house after 3 o'clock.
Wilson then charged the Metro.
politan police with third degree
methods in extracting q, confession
from Jackson.
The accused. of giant statute. was
identified twice, according to the
Government, by his victim.
Shortly after noon Mrs. Welling
the victim, went on the witness
stand, as the Governments princi.
pal witness, and in reply to the
abb that he is not the man, Mrs.
yelling looked Jackson straight In
the eye. Then. turning to the jury
she emphaticaIly said: II could
never forget that face identifying
him for the third time.
