IOWA MURDER
TRIAL ATTRACTS
MUCH ATTENTION

"Snowball" Reynolds of Hamburg,
Iowa, Draws Eight Years in
Penitentiary for Crime.
The trial of "Snowball" Reynolds
for the murder of Al Weber at the
Reynolds home in Hamburg in the
early liours of the morning on Aug
ust 11th last, was begun In the dis
trict court at Sidney last Wednes
day and closed Saturday when the
Jury brought in a verdict of guilty
of second degree murder. :
The killing of Weber, who resided
at Sidney, followed a "stag" night
party at the Reynolds home in which ,
Bill Tarr, another illustrious Ham-;
burg character had participated to-,
gether with others who had depart- (
ed before the killing. 1
Tarr was the chief witness for the
state. He said he was at the Rey
nolds home when Weber and Walter
Brooker came. The two arrived at
about 9 o'clock in the evening and .
were admitted by Reynolds, who re- (
marked it had been a long time since
he hud seen Weber. According to
Tarr they played the banjo, danced
a while and then Brooker left. There
was no quarreling, he said. Later ,
Weber started to go. Reynolds told
him he had Just as well stay all night
as he had an extra bed. This was
agreed to, and Reynolds showed '
Weber to a bed room and later went ,
to his own room. Later in the morn-i
ing Stanley "Stormy" Jordan, of Sid
ney came and stayed until about 3 !
o'clock in the morning, Tarr testi-j
ed.
After Jordan had left, Tarr paid, '
he lighted an oil stove in the kitch-i
en. Shortly after Reynolds came out
of his bed room and remarked he,
would go out and care for the
chickens. After Reynolds had left j
the house, Weber came out, swearing,!
evidently thinking that Reynolds had!
left the house for some bad purpose, j
"You fellows can't slip up on me '
that way," Tarr quoted Weber as
saying to him. Then he shoved Tarr
with both hands. It was at this
point that Reynolds returned to the
house, stepped in the door and shot, :
according to the testimony. j
Reynolds, taking the stand in his '
own defense, agreed with Tarr as to '
what happened up to the time of the .
shooting and then declared that Tarr
lircd the shots which killed Weber,
lie said that when he returned to the
house after caring for the chickens
he found Weber about to assault Tarr
with a butcher knife. He interfered
and Weber turned on him. He then
shot into the ceiling to scare Weber,
but Weber continued to follow him.
Then Tarr fired from " another room,
