DRAMATIC STORY
OF MURDER TOLD
BY Man in CASE
Gray Fixes Upon Himself
And ParamOur Actual
Killing of Snyder

NEW YORK, May 4. (P) - With
women spectators weeping freely and
with tears streaming down his own
cheeks, Henry Judd Gray today told
from the stand at the Snyder Gray
murder trial his version of the slay-
ing of Albert Snyder, magazine art
editor.
His story fixed upon himself and
Mrs. Ruth Brown Snyder his CO.
defendant, the actual killing. 1t
placed upon Mrs. Snyder the insti-
cation of the crime and revealed him
drunken, quavering tool in her
hands. Mrs. Snyder holding her lips
with twitching fingers, as if trying
to keep from crying out, wept pro-
fusely as Gray described in minute
detail how she took him by the
hand, led him into the bed room where
her husband lay sleeping, and when
his courage failed, snatched up the
sash weight hehad dropped and
struck her husband as he called upon
her to help him.
The murder, Gray related, was com,
mitted by BOTH but he said that
Mrs. Snyder must have twisted about
her husbands neck the picture wire
that, according to expert testimoney,
caused death by strangulation. The
saturation of her husbands pillow
with chloroform, a contributory cause
of death in the opinion of the expert
witnesses, was done by Mrs. Snyder,
Gray said,
Gray began his story slowly, but it
gained momentum as he progressed.
BY the time he came to the descrip-.
tion of the murder itself the specta-
tors crowded into the square, ILL
ventilated court room were hanging
on every word in rigid suspense.
He said he found package of
cigarettes on table in the Snyder
home-a signal to go to the room
of Mrs. Snyders mother, who was
absent. But he could not recall then
what it meant He drank of the
whisky he found with the implements
intended for use in committing the
crime.
their nine-year-old daughter, Lor-
raine, were at bridge party. When
they returned, Snyder having put the
family automobile in the garage, en-

MEXICO SUPREME
REVOKES.
OIL INJUNCTIONS.
Restraint Removed to En-
forcing of Regulations
On Allen Owners

MEXICO CITY, May 4, lP The
Mexican supreme court by unani-
nous decision revoked today the par
tial amparos or injunctions granted
by lower courts to nine foreign oil
companies restraining the federal au-
thorities from enforcing the new oil
regulations.
The supreme court ruled that a
district court must grant or reject
amparos in totality,. not in part, as
had been done by the Mexico City
district courts in the case of the
amparos in question.
Litigation over the new Mexican
oil regulations began as soon as the
new law became effective, January
last
Most of the amparos granted here
were of a provisional nature. These
injunctions prevented all of the MeXi
can authorities, even President Gales
himself, from enforcing the regula-
tions which the foreign oil companies
considered detrimental to their prop
critics and rights. 1t was the con-
tention of the petitioners hat mas
much as their rights to properties
were acquired prior to the promulga-
ton of the Mexican constitution of
1917, their properties were not liable

clares all subterranean property to

INACCURACIES
IN WAR DEBT
CONCLUSIONS
u. S. State Department
Advises English, State
ments Unofficial.
NOTE IS TERSE
Treasury Secretary Issues
Formal Explanation of
Understanding.

LONDON, May B.-Expressing
great misgiving because of the diver
gence of opinion and estrangement of
sentiment growing UP in regard to the
war debts, the British government, in
note to the United States, today
challenged the accuracy of the state
ment March II by Andrew W. Mellon,
secretary of the United States treasury,
that Great Britain's debt payments to
the United States will not constitute
a drain on British economic resources.
The note specifically declared that
in no circumstances will Great Britain
receive from reparations and inter-
allied war debts taken together more
than she pays to America and that
it was not the desire. of the British
government to retain for their country
anything out of receipts from repara-
tions and inter-allied war debts.
Citing what the British government
regards as errors and inaccuracies in
Mr.. Melons statement, the note ex-
presses trust that the United States
government will take steps to remove
the unfortunate impression that has
been created by the issuances of the
Mellon statement.
Stating that the British government
was presenting it's considerations of
the war debt problem sin no conten
tious Or controversial spirit" the note
declares thati.'on the contrary, their
desire is to maintain and to promote
a friendly understanding between the
two great English-speaking nations
ron whose cooperation great issues for
the peace and progress of the world
depend"
'"rhey view with misgivings the
divergence of opinions and the
estrangement of sentiment which is
growing up in regard to these war
obligations" the note continues. 1T
appears to be the task of the British
and American statesmen to do what
can be done to alleviate this difference
of view by setting out frankly and
fairly the facts of the case and the
policy adopted on either side. But the
controversy can only be intensified if
public opinion in America is guided
by statements of facts in regard to
their European debtors which to those
debtors appear inaccurate and mis-
leading.
ut is for this reason that his
majesty's government regrets that
there should have been issued, under
the authority of the secretary of the
United States treasury, series of
statements in regard to Great Britain
which appear to them not to
represent accurately or completely the
facts. They trust that the United States
government will take steps to remove
the unfortunate impression that has
been created by the issue of this state
ment. The position of the British gov
ernment in regard to these interna-
tional payments is well known and the
records are easily available; but if at
any time further information is desired
