Notwithstanding the general nature of
the conversation with Oov Uis on this
mutter he was exceedingly unwilling to
Rive a specific answer to a question as to '
who among tho Democratic candidates 1
already mentioned could carry New York

pect for Democratic national success
were so certain that he was only disposed
to Say for publication
Any of tho candidates now prominently
mentioned for the Democratlo Presidential
nomination can carry the State.
"Whut sort of a platform. Governor,
should thu Democratic national conven

"tt should adopt u platform declaring
the tariff to be the paramount issue beforo
the American people," he said, "pledging
the party to honest administration and
progressive policies consistent with
fidelity to the Constitution and to the
orderly development of the nation under
a system of sound, sensible and just
laws."
Finally, Gov. Dix spoke of the pros
pects for electing a Democratic Legisla

U Democratic and the Aembly P.epub

he would say, "operate unjustly against

A dark halted little woman, unmoved by

two Sf. Nicholas avenue, some time yester
day morning.
There had been a quarrel over some
trivial cause, she said. She had taken
up a pair of seven Inch shears and warned
him not to go too far. He had c ome
up to her and, seizing her by the hands,
in which were the sheurs pointed toward
him, hud pulled the point of the shears
forward und into his heart. Twice he
had stabbed himself while she held the
shears, she said, nud then he had walked
down tho hull to the bathroom and got
into the tub, where he was later found
bad.
This was the story that she told the
Coroner, detectives and an Assistant
District. Attorney and late last night when
she was asked again for her version of
the day's happenings she wrote:
"My version of tho day's events is
thut 1 am in noway Implicated In the death
of in) husband. That 1 am innocent."
She signed this "Mrs. Snyder."
She was held by Coroner Hellenstein
without bail, charged with homicide.
Thu first intimation that there was any
thing wrong in Historic Hall, as the St.
Nicholus avenue apartments where the
Snyders went to live two weeks ago is
called, came at -M o'clock yesterday
ufternoon. isauc Valverdi, the colored
hallboy, answered the telephone to be told
by Mr.'. Snyder that her husband was ill
and that she wanted to get a doctor.
He asked her if there were anything
that he could do and she told him to coino
to their apart men t. '1 he Snyders lived on
the ground floor of the apartment house,
with a sitting room and a bedroom on
one side of a long hall on the St, Nicholas
avenue side and a bathroom, kitchen and
dining' room across the hall.
Isaac went across from his switchboard
to tho Snyders' apartments, calling to
lames Springer, another hallboy, to get
a physician. Mrs. Stmter, who was fully
clothed in a shirtwaist and a canary col
ored dress, opened the door and told Isaac i
that her husband was iu thu bathroom j
and seemed to be 111. The boy put his
head in the bathroom door und saw Sny
der's body slumped over in the bathtub
with a stream of blood trickling from his
side.
He tried to lift the body Snyder
weighed more than IK) ounds and tho
weight was too much for the boy's
strength. He went back to the switch
board and got Springer to come in and
help him.
Springer in the meantime had got Dr.
ItogerP. O'Neill of 910 St. Nicholas u venue
on the telephone. At the order of tho col
ored sti-iet'iutehdenl of tho apartments,
Milton Morgan, the two boys lifted Sny
der's body- which was nude save for a
kimono that had been thrown over it -out
of the tub and carried It buck to the
! bedroom, where they laid if on the led.
. There Dr. O'Neill saw it and it took
I but a moment for him to discover that the
' man had been stabbed twice in the heart.

Two men did the work, which was care
fully planned. They escaped in n taxi
cab, being driven to the Union Station,
but it is thought that this is a blind and
thut they are still in tho city, having de-l

Gov. Wilson said he regretted the loss
of letters which were strictly personal,
but predicted that tho thieves and their
employer would be disappointed, us there
was nothing that could not be published
without injuring him or his cause. William
(I. Nobluck, president of thn Wilson Club
of Illinois, said it was "undoubtedly a
dirty political trick nnd In linn with the
campaign of lies ami vituperation being
waged against Wilson."
A large force of detectives was put on
the case. They have good descriptions of
the thieves. Considerable valuable silver
and other property in Gov Wilson's roomB
was not touched.
The Governor's dress suit and extra
underclothing were included in the
plunder.

her body on tho right side was a mass of

the surgeons were examining her.
Detective Lieutenant Brown and Detec

find nobody in the neighborhood of the

The police think the automobile that

Dr. De Suutelle thinks that tho woman
would have become unsconscious immedi-1

and thero were whirlwinds, thunderstorms
and squalls or unusual intensity with
torrential rain
The temperatures were high all over
this State and tho passago or the swirling
low prcssuro created conditions fit for
tho birth of tornadlo disturbances. Even
in the morning the thermometer in tho
central part of the State was at 09 and
later in the day it rose above 70.
In this city tho temperature was 70
at 1 P. M., when the sky showed symp
toms in the southwest of the Easter show
ers that the Weather Bureau had pre
dicted. It was not the black horiron
of a thunderstorm, just a half leaden
aspect and clouds that looked as if they
were full of breetse. The temperature
dropped to 6,4 and about 3 o'clock the
blast came screaming out of the south
west. The rain that came with it whistled
a seventy mile tuna and drove along
horizontally, like a river in the air. The
warm apell was over in a jiffy. In a
few hours the mercury had fallen to
and the wind shifted to the north,
bringing down the chill of that region.
From north the wind got around finally
to northwest, decreasing after sunset
to rephyrish force.
Whilo the squall was doing business
the rain, driven in clouds that sometimes
merged, mado the air of tho bay and riv

heaval of whitecaps. The bay tin viewed
from the Battery seemed all yeast. Ex

doing a summer business were put out

for tho rain continued until after 8 o'clock
at night. Easter finery suffered all over

from the rails, trees uprooted and many
persons injured by n tornado which de
vastated South Fallsburg, Sullivan county,
ut 4 o'clock this ufternoon.
The storm developed from what at first
appeared to bo on April shower. Thero
had been several light showers and thn
temperature had fallen from 65 to 40
degrees when a black cloud made its ap
pearance In the west. It was swirling
around and around, but no one was look
ing for danger, because such a storm
novel before had come at this time of
year.
Suddenly there was a roar, which to
tho villagers sounded like a terrifio ex
plosion. Buildings rocked on their foun
dations and roofs, small trees and llmbi
began to fly through the air.
Scores of persons believing their dwell
ings wero about to collapse rushed to the
streets only to be blown over or knocked
down.
