COLISEUM MAY Be
PRIVATELY BUILT
City Would Eventually Take
1t Over, Plan.

That the city will buy a site for
a coliseum and turn the property
over to a private corporation to con-
struct and operate the building,
probably will be recommended at a
special cabinet meeting called by
Mayor Duvall for late today.
The plan, one of several methods
of procedure provided by the
coliseum act recently passed by the
General Assembly, was the most
favored at conference Monday aft
ernoon attended by the mayor, other
city officials and Chamber of Com
merce leaders. The city eventuCl-
ly would take over the coliseum
corporation, it was unofficially
agreed, such action at this time
being avoided in order not to bond
the city too high in connection
with the project.
A site for the building was not
discussed, it being generally under
stood. however, that a downtown
location will be chosen. Henry r.
Davis, Convention Bureau manager,
who has been active in pushing the
movement, today was assembling
data on expense, operation and
management of coliseums over the
country.

FORD PAPER
ARTICLES ON

Identify Matter.
RI United Press

BIZ United Press
DETROIT, Mich, March "a
Paragraph after paragraph from the
Dearborn Independent bristling with
references to "a Jewish holding COM
pany," Oriental financiers" and
Jewish exploitation of American
farmers went into evidence today at
the trial Of Aaron Sapiro's million.
dollar libel suit against Henry Ford.
With William ]. Cameron, editor
of the Dearborn Independent. as the
witness, William Henry Gallagher,
attorney for Sapiro. had the para
graphs on which the libel suit is
based identified and read them before
the jury.
In the few questions Cameron,
aside from identifications. he on
more asserted his complete doniN
nance of the editorial department Of
the Independent. He somewhat
spiritedly denied the suggestion Of
Gallagher that perhaps "Mr. Lie
bold. Mr.. Ford's secretary" was his
superior.
81 am the sole editor and sole ar
bitter OF such matters" Cameron as
serted, referring to editorial policy.
II am not going to be responsible for
any one else's judgment"
He said that Ford, whenever he
discussed questions regarding the
Independent with him, would say:
you. are the editor; be sure you are
right"
Those were Ford's only instruc-
lions, he maintained.

TWOD|SAVOW
CONFESSIONS
Of MURDER
Albert Snyder's Widow and
Alleged Lover Charge
Third Degree Used.

NEW YORK, March 22.-Mrs.
Ruth Snyder and Henry Judd Gray
faced a magistrate in Jamaica to-
day and denied that they had
beaten Mrs. Snyder's husband to
death in a premeditated murder
plot to give Mrs. Snyder possession
of Snyder's $4,000 insurance. as
charged by police.
The lovers met face to face for
the first time since the murder.
Pale, haggard looking after the
long police ordeal they had been
through, they avoided each others
eyes. Neither spoke.
Their counsel repudiated the con-
fessions which police said they had
obtained from both.
Counsel informed Magistrate
Frank Giorglo that the confessions
had been obtained under duress and
demanded an Immediately hearing.
The State was not ready, and
Giorgio set the hearing for Thurs
day.
Gray confessed, according to Dis
trict Attorney Richard Newcombe,
that he and Mrs, Snyder had
plotted the murder; that he
beat Snyder with a sash
weight, chloroformed him and
made death triply sure by garroting
him with picture wire.
Newcombe called the murder the
coolest premeditated crime in the
history of the New York police de-
partment.
Arranged AIibi
Gray fled after he and Mrs. Sny-
der had arranged the Snyder home
to make it appear that robbers had
committed the murder. He left Mrs.
Snyder bound and fled to Syracuse,
N. Y, where he had prepared a
careful alibi, Newcombe said.
One little detail, the secreting
under a mattress of the jewerly that
Mrs. Snyder told the police had been
stolen, gave the clew> that upset the
whole elaborate structure.
Gray was arrested in Syracuse. He
was brought back early this morning
and in Newcombe's office in Long
Island City calmy told Newcombe
and Police Commissioner Nc
Laughlin the entire story.
Gray, who is So, smiling, we'll
dressed business man, told how he
and Mrs. Snyder had been lovers.
She is 80, a pleasure-loving, good
looking blond, married to man
dozen years her senior.
Gray blamed the woman, New
combe revealed.
1.-THE murder was done by pre-
arrangement and was as cold-blooded
as we originally conceived it to be-"
the district attorney said. "All the
details were prearranged by CORE
spondence. The motive was the
$4,000 insurance on Snyder's life
and Mrs. Snyder's threat 10 expose
Gray's relations with her to his
wife unless he helped her,
The most startling part Of Gray's
confession, as told by Newcombe,
was where he said that Mrs. Snyder
helped him with the actual murder
and that when he dropped the
bludgeon, she picked it up and hit
her. unconscious husband over the
head.
