Indicted on ;
Murder Counts
Court Will Name
Defense Counsel in
Triple SIoying

Robert Bobby Whitlock Snyder
IA, today awaited the appointment
by Montgomery County Circuit
Court of an attorney to defend him
after three murder indictments were
returned against him yesterday by
the county grand jury.
An Indictment was returned for
each of the three persons he is
charged with shooting to death
November %, his foster father,
Ross H. Snyder; his foster mother,
Jennie Russell Snyder, and his fos-
ter sister, Jane Ann, IL
The triple staying occurred while
the three victims were seated
around a luncheon table at their
Darnestown (Md.), home. The boy
told police he fired the fatal shots
with shotgun after he was scoIded
for coming home late the night
before.
Not Yet Examined.
The grand jury was recalled by
the court in response to a request
last week by States Attorney Joseph
B. Simpson, jr. A preliminary
hearing November IS, before Juve-
nile Court Judge Alfred D. Noyes
was continued, pending a PSYCHE
atric examination Of the youth. The
examination has not yet been made,
however, 1t was learned.
After returning the indictments,
the jury was thanked by. Judge
Stedman Prescott, who discharged
the group.
Later, the boy was called into
court from the Rockville Jail deten-
tion quarters and asked by Judges
Prescott and Charles w. Woodward
If he had an attorney. He replied,
"No."
Judge Woodward then said the
court would appoint one ''as soon
as we can" he added the court was
not prepared to say who it will be.
The jurist also said no trial date
would be set, pending appointment
of an attorney. He said the date will
be fixed after the attorney to be
selected confers with the court and
Mr.. Simpson.
Boy Appears Worried.
The boy appeared worried as he
was brought into court in the custody
of a policeman. He wore. brown
tweed jacket and brown trousers. He
kept his head down while awaiting
the entrance of the two judges. AS
he left the courtroom, he limped
slightly.
Mr.. Snyder was a well known
Washington attorney. Coming to
Washington in 1919 as an employe
Of the Navy Department, he studied
law at night at George Washington
University Law School, where he
obtained his law degree in June,
1928.

with the late George w. Ofutt in
the latter's capacity as general coun-I
eel for the Potomac Savings Bank.
He. also taught law at night in
the Southeastern University Law
School until the school was sus-.
pended. Afterward he was an in
structor in the universitys CONNER
ciaI law classes. ,s.s -

COMMENTS
ON COEVAL LIFE
BY VIcToRlo A. VELAsco

by VIZ UNIV y. NELH0NO
Let US look at a few illusions
of life. Freshness and novelty at
tract the eyes and disarm our
critical faculties. Noise and fan
fare glitter before our view and
we lose our poise and perspec-
tive.
A new voice is heard and it
becomes the sweetest that ever
fell in our ears. A little man as
sumes power and becomes the
greatest ruler that ever arose in
our midst. A fresh flower blooms
and becomes unmatched in all
its beauty and fragrance.
Perhaps these are mere illu-
sions-products of minds obsessed
with decisions of grandeur. We
are given little authority; then
we become drunk with power and
insist to exercise more. We are
given a little attention; then we
demand the plaudts and tribute
CT the populace to initiate our
ego. We are allowed to speak;
then we become a ridiculous ego
fist waxing eloquent with recita-
tons of all our achievements, &C
tual, fancied, and imaginary, until
we betray our littleness, and bore
the generous attention of our au-
dience.
Freshness and novelty tempo
rarily disarm our critical analysis.
Someone comes from nowhere and
we flock around with innocent
curiosity; we do not know that
he forged a check in Washington
or was a Jail bird in Ohio. Fresh
ness and novelty make US forget,
Someone comes in our midst
and we gather around in curious
admiration. We little suspect that
he panhandIed on Main Street to
chisel living or sold his soul to
keep his body alive. Freshness
and novelty drive away suspicion.
