s.-,. when he concluded to return to his

passenger on Philadelphia K press, and
when the train arrived in Altoona here
ported that he had U en rohlx d.
P..-fol e leaving Pittshurg he was the re
cipient of kind attention from three stran
ds, w ho also made themselves agreeable to
him on the i rain. He told them w here he
was going and w as obliging enough to take
out his Mickel hook and changed fol one
of the men. When the t rai n Phi ladel -pliia
Kpress reached Altoona the
strangers pressed around their victim, aim
as he got olT the ear deliberately held him
up ami took his pockclbook out of his in

to s u bill it.
On Tuesday afternoon what has lieen
known in the north of the county for the
past live months as the Snyder case came
up for trial. Tin case is from Hastings
when Kdith and Vaui Snyder (the latter
since married to Howard Verger) lived on
the 17th of last July and carried on a mil
linery store. On that night their house
w as discovered to In on tlrehy II. M. XefT,
a near m-ii-hhor, w ho raised the alarm, and
the tire was extinguished by the nople w ho
gathered there. A few days after un in
formation was made hy W. J. Horner
charging Kdith a:ul Vanie Snyder with
arson. They were arrested andbrjught to
Klicnsburg where they gave hail for their
appearance for trial. At Septemlier term
the case was continued until this term.
On Wednesday of last week the cas .aine

Tuesday of this week. The defendants
are represented by N. 1. Mervine, Ksq., of
Altoona, and M. li. Kittell of this place,
while the commonwealth is represented hy
Hon. John Fenlon, F. A. Shoemaker and
District Attorney O'Connor.
Whenthecase was called Mr. Mervine
challenged the array of jurors for various
reasons hut Judge liarker aftel hear
ing the arguments sustained the panel.
The following named jurors were sworn
to try thecase: George McLucas, farmer.
Dean township; Thomas S. Seihert, team
ster, Johnstown; John Michaels, farmer,
Sumiuerhill township; John ( 'ill loin, lalior
er Johnstown; Henry li. Shatter, farmer,

Key nolds, clerk. South Fork; Thomas K.
Delany, laliorer, Johnstown; Alexander
Marlett, farmer Dean township.
II. M. XeiT was the first w itness called
and told .substantially the following story :
I live in Hastings and was living there on
the 17th of July last; I live about thirty-
two feet from the house occu pied by the
defendants; they were occupying the build
as 11 millinery store and dwelling house on
the 17th of July last; it was a wooden
building, tw j stories high; the front room
on the lirst Moor was occupied as a milli
nery and the hack room as a kitchen; there
were only two r.Mitns on the lower tloor:
the upper floor was divided Into live rooms
a parlor and four bed-rooms; there was
also a Viallw ay up-stairs on the side next
my building; I saw the defendants in my
place that evening lietweeti Sand '. o'clock;
the building which they occupied was dis
covered to be on tire; my w ife w as lying in
l'd sick; she called me and said I should
get up, that, the building was on lire; I got
up, saw the lire flashing from the window,
and supposed the girls were burning up.
I ran over and entered the front door and
ran hack through the building to the stair
way, crying lire as I went; as I went up
stairs I heard the girls and opened the
door of the room they were in and told
them to huriy out, us the buihli'ig was on
lire; they went dow n staiis and I followed
down and they went out on the street and
I went and roused Mr. Miller and came
back and the door vvas locked and the
girls were in front of the door and they re
fused to let anyone enter; they said the
building was insured, let It burn; I told
them we couldn't do that or the rest uf the
town would burn down; they said. "Let
it ) u in and save the other buildings;" I
tidd them them that was imjiossible, but
they still refused admission.
I then went around to the rear door and
tried to get in. but the door was so well
secured I could not do so, and came hack
to the front door and there was ijuite a
crowd the redemandiug adtnision; I kicked
the door open and went in, followed by
part of the crowd; I went to the kitchen
and undertook to draw water; I drew one
buckettul and went up stairs, and w hi-n I
came down again the hose had got there
and I didn't go up any more; when I went
up stairs I smelt the fumes of burning oil
and saw three lire, one in the hallway,
one in the trout room, and one in th xl
room to it; the one In the hall was in the
corner next to the wall; the others were
where the registers had U-en taken out in
the f i out room and the room next to it;
then I went downstairs, and hy that time
the tire was out, and I went home.
Phili p M iller was placed on guard during
the night to keep every liody out of the
building and next morning we made an
examination; we found that the floor and
one partition wen burned up to the attic;
1 found the floor of the parlor saturated
with oil, also the hallway and two or three
lied-rooms; the bedding in the lirst ln-d-rooin
was completely saturated with coal
oil; in the lied -room next the rear one was
a pile of ladies' clothes lying between a
trunk and a bed saturated with il. and
the wood-work in the hall in the floor vvas
also saturated withoil; there vvas kindling
chopped up and placed in the holes where
the register had lieen taken out; part of it
was the drop-leaf of an old cherry table.
(The witness here produci-d charred or
tions of the table referred to. I found one
of these pieces in one of the register holes,
one in the corner of the hallway, and one
in the cellar; the other pieces were piled
up in the hallway and in the register holes;
we found kindling piled in four places.
Others were called to prove that
t he girls tried to prevent the people from
going into the house, that one of them had
knocked a lighted lamp out of K. P. Su
ltan's hand, and that the girls had Ix. light
an unusual quantity of oil a few days be
fore the lire.
I'm the defense Miss Kdith Snyder, one
of the defendants, look the stand and tes
tiliidthat she helped her sister ill con
ducting llie millinery business at Hastings.
On Friday liefore the tire she took a can of
coal oil to her room to clean the ImmI. She
tripped on the iM'd-clothes, w hich had Im-cii
thrown on the floor, and the can flew from
her hand. Oil w as splattered over the car
pet, and into the hall. To dry the carct
more 1 1 1 1 i i ' k I y she got pieces of an old cher
ry table from the cellar and raised the car
pet from the Hi m.'. After that she pushed
the hits of wood into the regiser so us not
to In; obliged to carry them hack to the
cellar.
Kxplaiuing the oil can found in the stor
age room, s)ie said she w as called to the
store U'fre liiiishing cleaning and shoved
It under the Intl. On the Sunday of the
lire the sisters retiriil at lo o'clock, and
were awakened by Mr. NeiT. The lirst
Miss Kdith knew was when he broke into
tin room, crying 'Mire." Hoth ran down
the steps. She lirst saw Stinans, the
cl ippie, w hen he dragged her sister out.
This man swore it was Kdith he had hold
of. As to w hat she told the nowd that
wan tel to go Into the house Miss Kdith
was to unable rctufinlicr positively.
Mrs. Vanie Yerger, the other sister, told
little In addition to Kdith's story. She
told the crowd they could go up stairs and
light the lire, but must stay out of the
store. Sicilians, she said, certainly did not
pick her up. Kxplaiuing the shipment of
of a barrel to llullois, she said it was
partly tilled with apple-butter for her
brother-in-law Mr. Nchettig. The lxx
scut by cxpresscontaine.t an order of sheet
ing for Mrs. Nchettig, Witness knew
nothing whatever alxuit the lire's origin.
A initnlxTof witnesses were called who
tes tilled to the good character of the de-
fcedants.
The. jury, after listening to the plead
lugs of the counsel and the judge's charge,
retired to their room aliout 1( o'clixk, A.
M. this (Thursday ) morning to deliberate
A half past seven o'clock this (Thursday)
evening the jury, after having lieen out
alxint nine hours, returned into court w ith
a verdict of guilty and a recommendation
to the mercy of the court. A motion for a
new trial was made by the defendants'
counsel which will be argmd at argu
ment court.
