Defendant on the Stand.
J. B. Sneed went on the stand to
testify in his own behalf yesterday
afternoon and had not completed .
his testimony when adjournment
was taken last night. His statement
of the causes leading u~ to the idli-
ng of Capt. Boyce in toe Metropoli-
tan hotel was similar in nearly all
respects to that related at the pre-
vious trial. He did not teH yester-
day of the actual shooting.
In one important feature his tes-
timony yesterday varied from that
told at the other trial in that he re
lated what had been told him by
his wife about te elopements after
he brought her back. He said she
told him that Albert Boyce was
aided and advised by his father.
Capt. Boyce; also that she had ar-
ranged to return to wallas in De-
cember, 1911, to get possession of
her children and convey them to
Canada. Actording to her story,
Capt. Boyce and Henry Boyce were
to men her at Dallas Albert Boyce
had. however, she told witness, per-
suaded her not to make the trip for
fear of detection.
Witness told of his courtship and
marriage and happy Hfe afterward.
He told of when his wife said she
wanted to go to South Arnerka with
Albert Boyce and of how he. dumb-
founded and in desperation, took up
a pistol to shoot her and end his
own life when his little daughter,
awakened by the noise, came into
the room and prevented the tragedy

While relating his story the de-

By reason of the near approach

there are manifesting »onsider*bi«
interest now in the Terrell election
law provision*, as the fight is from
reports waxing warm. lax Collec-
tor Hennen had a call Tuesday
morning from ,n young man
came of kge in March. 1912,
wanted to know if he could vote in
the election, bu| who had failed to
/procure his- exemption certificate
before Feb 1, 1912. Collector Hin-
nen referred the matter to County
AAorney Wilson for a’ decision. <
The election law, it is said, re
quires that all young men expecting
to become of age during the comixr
year to secure their exemption cer-
tifica es under the same restrictions
as poll tax receipts are issued. That
is. If a young man comes of age
in June. 1913. he must secure his
exemption certificate before Feb, 1,
1913, even though he is not of age
at that time.
