RALPH SNYDER, ALLEGED
RIOTER, ON TRIAL
IN DISTRICT COI RT
RALPH Snyder, charged with con
spiracy to commit murder in eon
| nection with the lynching of William
j Brown, is on trial before Judge Red
! ick. Several state witnesses occupied
| Tuesday in testifying against the ac
! cused.
Chief of Detectives Dunn, Detec
| tives Dolan and Sutton and a number
l of others testified to having seen
Snyder and “Froggie” Howard, who
, is also named in the indictment on a
j similar charge, in the crowd that
broke in the doors of the court house
I with a cannon. No testimony was
offered, however, directly connecting
Snyder with the lynching of the
Negro. Other -tate witnesses will be
introduced.
W. H. Wright, 2712 California
street, identified Snyder as the youth
i who mounted a police car after the
Negro had been lynched and spoke to
the crowd, telling them that they had
accomplished their purpose and warn
ing them not to go to North Twenty
fourth street, as the Negroes in that
vicinity were all armed.
The trial of “Froggie” Howard will
probably he heard some time this
week.
