FIRE DESTROYS
PEGS" STORE
AT CRAY'S WELL

f. L. Stanford, 81, of Gray's
Well is locked up at the county
jail pending investigation into the
origin of fire which early this
morning wiped out several build
ings owned by w. A. "Peg Leg
Hunt. on the Yuma highway. Au-
thorities believe that Stanford set
fire to one of the buildings, the
flames spreading rapidly and com
pletely wiping out Hunts holdings.
The buildings included small
hotel, just erected, garage, ser
vice station and soft drink stand.
No insurance could be carried on
the buildings due to the fact that
they were far out on the desert
without protection. No estimate of
the damage was made but it is be-
licved that it will be placed in the
neighborhood Of $1,000.
Belief that the fire was set was
at first scorned but Hunt notified
the sheriff's office that he could
determine no logical cause for the
origin of the blaze. He told of its
starting at corner of building
and of tracks leading to and from
that point.
Undersheriff Bert Underwood and
Deputy Sheriff Pat Thaanum made
an investigation. The footprints
were examined and the arrest of
Stanford followed. 1t is said that
the tracks corresponded with shoes
found in his possession. even to a
hob-nail in the center of one of the
shoes. Stanford denied that he had
set the blaze.
Hunt is known to all valley peo-
pie for his ~congenial manner and
his ready wit. He was at one time
an automobile race driver and suf-
fered the loss of one leg, above the
knee; a portion of his other foot
and a bad head injury in a race
wreck. He came to the valley
about six years ago and since that
time has been building up the busi-
ness which he began at Grav 9
Wells. The authorities said that
practically all of his life savings
was invested in the properties des-
troyed by the fire.

GRAY ACCUSED

SNYDER Staying
by United Press Leased Wire

COURT ROOM, LONG ISLAND
CITY, April 29.-IIer low contralto
voice tinged with cold hatred, Ruth
Brown Snyder went to the witness
stand today and portrayed Judd
Gray as man who had once been
her master.
Mrs. Snyder described unemotion-
ally the unhappy home given her
by Albert Snyder, but indicated she
might have continued to be the
faithful wife had it not been for
the influence of her lover.
1t was Gray, she charged, who
first suggested the Staying of
SNYDER; it was Gray who advanced
the idea of increasing Snyder's in
suranee and it was Gray who COM
mitted the murder.
The woman. who had been his
mistress in private was NV his ac-
cuser in public.
Mrs. Snyder, dressed in black. sat
straight and composed in the wit
ness chair. She flushed slightly un-
der the concentrated stare of hun
dreds of pairs of eyes, but was un-
flinching.
Only a few wisps of blonde hair
showed beneath her black hat to
relieve her severity. She walked
with steady step within three feet
of Gray without noticing him, took
the oath solemnly and seated her
self carefully.
When Mrs. Snyder was called, the
court room doors were locked and
newspapermen were not permitted
to enter or leave the court room.
The hall outside was jammed
with close to 500 persons.
Lower floors were also packed
and a vast throng had gathered out
side the court house.
Crowds got beyond control at the
trial this afternoon, overran the
court room and the corridors and
prevented opening of the afternoon
session at 1880 p. m. as scheduled.
More than 1000 people crowded
into the courtroom, packing the
aisles so closely that attendants
were unable to move.
