take up her residence in Amarillo.
She was again thrown into confine
ment at a sanitarium by her husband,
but through friends instituted proceed
ings looking toward her release. Six
days before the jury adjudged her sane
and gave her her liberty, her husband
shot and killed the father of Al Boyce
in the lobby of a hotel. This occurred
on January 13.
Wife Refused To
Testify For Him.
Snead was brought to trial for this
murder and sensational evidence was
adduced as to the relations of Snead,
■his w ife and young Boyce. Mrs. Snead
refused to appear as a witness for her
husband, whose trial finally resulted in
a hung jury, after Edward Throckmor
ton, one of the state’s principal wit
nesses. had died a mysterious death on
February 1, 1912.
On March 6, John Beal Snead's fa
ther. Captain J. T. Snead, was shot and
killed by R. C. Hilliard, a former em
ployee. who then tumid the pistol on
himself and committed suicide, leav
ing a note which said:
“Snead caused it. lam going to take
my revenge and go to the asylum. 1
loved you as dear as over husband did."
This note was addressed to the sui
cide's wife.
Snead, who had been set at liberty
following the disagreement of the jury
nt his first trial, showed at the trial
that young Boyce and his wife planned
again to elope and to take the children
with them during his coming trial.
This Is believed to have led to the mur
der of young Boyce.
According to testimony adduced at
the coroner’s inquest. Snead hired a
small house near a known dally walk
of his rival and waited for days to
kill him. On the day of the murder he
was disguised as a farmer, carrying a
shotgun in a long cardboard box. Boyce
was killed on September 14. 1912.

Georgia Girl Bride of Aged Millionaire Returns
ALSOPS HAPPY COUPLE
■ Mrs. Edward B. Alsop. formerly Miss
Effie Pope Hill, of Washington, G:i .
seven-months' bride of the Pittsburg
septuagenarian, has returned from
Europe and was welcomed enthusias
tically by he: aged husband.
As if to put a complete denial on the
stories of domestic estrangement, Mr.
Alsop met his w ife at the steamship pier
when she came ashore in New Vork on
Saturday and greeted her affectionate
ly. Mrs. Alice Martin, who had accom
panied Mrs. Alsop abroad, returned
with her.
a brief reunion at wharf, the
Alsop# went at once to the Pennsyl
vania station, where they boarded a
train for Washington. D. C. Mrs. Al
sop said that she was glad to get back
and met her elderly husband with as
much enthusiasm as he displayed.
Her trip was delightful, she said, and
her visit to European capitals had filled
her with wonder. With unlimited funds,
provided by her generous husband, she
said she was able to "do” everything
worth seeing, but was glad to get back.
Mrs. Tom Pierce, who went with her
to Europe, remained abroad.
The affectionate reunion of the Al
sops appears to deny the reports that
the pair had separated. Shortly before
Mrs. Alsop's departure for Europe, it
was said she had left her husband
convinced that her marriage to the
Plttsburger was a mistake.
Although the report of the estrange
ment was denied vigorously, Mrs. Al
sop's departure for Europe after living
apart from her husband with her moth
er in Washington, lent credence to the
story that a separation had taken
place.
The marriage of the Alsops created
a sensation in Washington. Ga., where
Mrs. Alsop formerly lived and was well
known. When the ceremony was per
formed seven months ago Mr. Alsop
was 70 years old and his bride 19.
When the separation took place Mrs.
Alsop Is reported to have said that mar
riage between a man and a woman of
such different ages was a mistake and
could not be a happy union.
Dr. Parkhurst Hotly Answers New York Mayor
GAYNOR IS GIVEN THE LIE
NEW YORK, Dec. 3.—ln a burning
reply to charges of cruelty to unfortu
nate women, Dr. (’. H. Parkhurst, the
eminent New York clergyman, gives
the lie direct to Mayor Gaynor, of that
city. The letter says:
To His Honor, Mayor William J. Gay
nor. Mayor of the City of New-
York:
Sir—Your mind, which may be sup
posed to incline graciously and sympa
thetically toward whatever concerns the
interest of this municipality, I desire to
Inform bv a brief recital of facts. May
I solicit, therefore, your patient and in
terested attention?
Some twenty years ago a number of
citizens of this city, being convinced of
the existence of a certain amount - of
collusion between the police and the
criminal classes, set about to investi
gate the situation with a view to bring
ing the facts to the knowledge of the
public and politically dislodging the
nefarious organization that was thriv
ing upon commercial vice.
Considerable thought and time were
devoted to determining the wisest and
most promising mode of procedure. We
acted upon the assumption, subsequent
ly demonstrated to be a valid one, that
gambling, bawdy-house managers and
saloon-keepers were all doing a thriv
ing but Illegitimate business and giving
up to the police a part of the profits as
compensation for protection.
Gunning For Larger Game.
We were not trying to close either
gambling houses, disorderly houses or
saloons. We had our opinion of them,
of course, but were not motived in our
action by the purpose of the immediate
desire to see them wiped out. We were
gunning for larger game and for re
sults that w-ere more fundamental.
To be more specific, we were en
gaged in no crusade against vice, but
against city official# who encouraged
the development of vice as a means of
revenue. You are credited with being
clever-minded, and I trust you will
bring that cleverness to bear in an in
telligent grasp of the distinction be
tween fighting vice and fighting the
propagation of vice with a view to
pocketing Its emoluments.
In pursuit of our purpose we labored
along the line of dlsordely houses rath
er than along that of gambling or vio
lation of excise only for the reason that
we concluded that it was by that means
we cou'd more readily attain the ob
ject that we had in view.
Now. Your Honor, the statement of
our policy as just made and the reason
for adopting that policy as just indi
cated has been declared upon the plat
form and reiterated in the newspapers
a thousand times, and it is only be
cause I am having to deal with stupidi.
ty, voluntary or involuntary, obtuse ot
malicious, that 1 have been led to re
peat it fr my letter to you. You were
on the bench at the time, and you knew
then and 1 should have supposed that
you would know now that all this talk
about my persecuting the poor girls
was for the sake of throwing dust in
the eyes of the public and saving from
defeat at the polls that body of organ
ized depravity that helped to compass
your election to the mayoralty.
"A Damnable Lie.”
One cold winter night a lot of the
unfortunates serving in disorderly
houses along Thirty-first street were
pitched out Into the snow by the po
lice with the Information that it was
done at my motion. You are reported
as saying a few days ago at the Colom

election.

Mrs. Effie Hill Alsop.
club: “Some years ago a clergyman
in this city induced the public authori
ties to drive them (the girls) and
spread them and club them all over
the city.”
Now, what the police said about my
causing the Thirty-first street girls to
be thrown out into the snow was a
damnable lie, and if you referred to me
when you said at the Colony club what
I have pust quoted, it was just the
same kind of a lie; or, begging your
pardon for the use of that discourteous
term, all T mean is, that what you said
was just as far from the truth as hell is
from heaven, and the mayor of this
great city can be about business more
commensurate with the dignity of his
exalted position.
Os course, the girls came up to my
house from Thirty-first street boiling
with rage, as hot as they could be con
sidering the fearful inclemency of the
night. For the first few minutes they
were a pretty difficult company to deal
with, but it was not long before they
discovered that even if I was a clergy
man and Mrs. Parkhurst a clergyman’s
wife, we still had hearts.
We fed them and we comforted
then;.
We gave them all the facts in the
case, and they went away our friends,
and the friendship of some of the girls
we kept for years.
Some Pointed Questions.
Your Honor, have you ever taken
such girls into your home and fed them
and comforted them?
Did you do anything of the kind in
that white and negro resort maintained
in one of your houses in Brooklyn, re
ported to me by three different detec
tives, and which I visited myself with
a detective of my own, and caused that
secret notification might be conveyed
to you in order that you might be saved
from the contempt of your constituen
cy?
Perhaps you did not know what was
going on there; but the public would
not have excused you. And I, a heart
less clergyman that causes poor girls
to be clubbed all over the city, sheltered
you lam sorry for you. Your Honor,
and I am awfully sorry for the city'
The Lord wept over Jerusalem. Yours
truly, C. H. PARKHURST.
