Gray Cannot Explain
Staying Trip

hotel room, with q don't disturb
sign on the door, and the bed
rumpled. Gray used a Pullman from
New York to Albany. He kept the
passengers stub In his pocket as he
rode the day coach from Albany to
Syracuse and threw 1t away in the
waste basket Of his hotel room at
Syracuse.
Seized Waste Basket
zone Of the first things that the
detectives did when they entered
the room at the hotel was to seize
the contents of the waste basket.
There they found the stub with the
date and train on which he had
travelled from New York to Albany
during the time his supposed pres
ence in the hotel room at SyracIIse
was to have established his alibi.
The detectives shrewdly held that
back until he had told his carefully
prepared story, and then they con-
fronted him with the telltale stub.
This broke him down and he told
the complete story"
Miller also revealed that in all the
time which has elapsed since the
Staying Gray has been unable to
explain to his lawyers or to the
alienists who examined him just
why he left Syracuse to come to
New York to commit the crime.
Took $50 Pages in Notes
"Gray has never been able to
tell what 1t was that made him
come to New York that day. !
examined him at length. taking
$50 pages Of notes In typewriter
form. He talked to the aIienists
selected by the defense and the
State for four days also under the
freest conditions. since il was
stipulated that none OF his an
swers could be used against him.
There was no reason why he
should come to New York. He
does not understand himself the
cause Of Mrs. Snyder's strange
control over him.
"Gray was of a very intelligent
and sensitive type. He was able
TO tell the reason and the cause
for everything else that he did.
But when IL came to telling why
he left Syracuse he was at a loss
to offer an explanation. He is
amazed now that he, should have
travelled 800 miles to have done
her bidding"
Mr.. Miller further said:
Judge Willard and myself are
not revealing our defense in any
respect. in justice to our client"
Further light on Gray's menta'
condition at the time OF the Staying
was given by a partial revelation
Of the statements he made to the
alienists who examined him. They
were DIR. Sylvester r. Leahy, and
DIR. Stephen p. Jewett for the State
and DR.. Thomas r. Cusack and DR.
Siegfried Block for the defense.

This was revealed by DR.. Siegfried
Block, one Of the alientsts.
The collapse of his moral fiber
was accompanied by indications of
a mental breakdown, the alIenists
declared. In fact, had not Gray's
love affair with his blonde charmer
been suddenly checked by the slay.
ing of the woman's husband on
March 20, mental let down just
as complete would have resulted.
At the moment, however, Gray's
mental disintegration had not pro-
crossed to a point which would
justify the assumption that the man
was insane, DR.. Block continued,
His mental state was fast slipping
to the somewhat hazy neutral zone
the line of demarkation between
sanity and insanity.
The defense will be prepared to
show, it is understood, that Gray's
infatuation for Mrs. Snyder was
based wholly on sex-appeal-that he
possessed a marked physical love
for the woman now his co-defendant.
Alcohol Will Be Blamed
They will endeavor to show his
waning powers of resistance further
We're weakened by excessive indul.
gence in alcoholic drink.
DR.. Block said:
"A thorough probe into Gray's
life revealed to the alienists that
this let-down-morally and ment-
ally-began as early as August
1925, shortly after he had became
acquainted with Mrs. Snyder, Be-
ing a man much above the average
in intelligence, social position and
breeding, he soon found this love-
triangle situation a thing not at all
compatible with his standards of
morality-but he was too much of
weakling to break them off. Mrs.
Snyder did exert a powerful influ-
ence over him. He was not a drink
ing man when he met her, except
perhaps for an occasional social
highball or cocktail.
He became victim Of his own
conscience and began drinking
heavily. And the effects Of prohibi.
ton liquor on a mans mind are
well known.
His sense Of guilt and the ef.
fects Of his alcoholic indulgences
soon brought about a complete

became a sick man, morally il
not legally. Ruth Snyder didn't
fit into the background of .respec-
liability In which his antecedents
had been reared since the days of
the Mayflower.
"Gray's ethical senses were dulled
and he became a victim of fantas.
tic reasoning. A long continuance
of this state would have produced
mental condition which the law
would have been bound to consider
when he came into a tribunal to
face such charge as that which
now confronts him.
Men in a state in which Gray
found himself prior to the killing
speedily forget their moral obliga.
tions, their claims to responsibility
and even family ties.
That's what happened to Judd
Gray. He became an object of
pity-a victim of circumstances.

According to Garrison, the youth
admits that he and Haley took the
