Stillness At Snyders
A vintage gasoline pump, left, stands as a silent sentinel over Snyder's General Store at •
Route 28 and Quince Orchard Road, scene of last week’s fatal shooting of Donald Leon Sny
der, 67, its colorful proprietor. Mortally wounded by a gunshot wound in his brain, Snyder
lingered almost a week in Suburban Hospital before succumbing early Monday morning. Police
have charged a 24-year-old Silver Sp ring man with murder and armed robbery in the case.—

Recluse Shot
(Continued from Page 1)
Despite this, and the success
of his antique business, he lived
amid an almost total lack of
modern comforts. His apparel
matched his wares in vintage
and the care he gave them.
Visitors to his shop, how
ever, found him as delightful
a discovery as many of the
previous things they searched
for— and found amid the
musty confusion of his shop.
He was, they learned, a law
yer who never practiced,an eru
dite man who could discourse
on an encyclopedic level and
a stubborn horse-trader who
could Jolly his customers Into a
losing bargain; a sound authori
ty on plant grafting and hy
bridizing, which he practiced
in a garden plot behind his home
and a coin collector who also
kept his day-to-day pennies In a
glass jar; a recluse familiar
with every shadowed shelf and
corner, every fabled item, In
his lot, and almost every foot
of ground in the up-county woods
he loved to hunt - but a strang
er In the town to which he ven
tured Infrequently to bank the
profits of his dim market place.
People up that way Say he kept
some of his money about the
place. They think this may be
the reason for what happened
last Monday. They maybe right.
Police say their principal
suspect in Snyder's shooting,
Charles Stanley Stull, 24, of the
1900 block of East-West High
way, Silver Spring, is a young
man from the upper county,
where such conjecture about the
old man is part of dinner table
talk.
There were no witnesses to
the shooting. A brother and sis
ter-in-law who share Snyder’s
home with him were In the
house, but separated by two
doors from the store, when It
happened. Both are older than
he, and Infirm.
There was a passerby,
though, right after It happened
someone who noticed a white
man in his twenties, wearing a
black overcoat with matching
fur collar, take off past the
old-fashioned gasoline pumps
toward Rockville in a 1957 Olds
mobile bearing Maryland li
cense *ags.
On foot, the near-witness
went into Snyder’s and found
the old man on the dusty floor.
He called police at 17 minutes
after noon from a phone in the
