THE SNEED TRIAL
Probably more interest has been
aroused in and more attention attract-
ed to the trial of Banker Sneed charg-
ed with the murder of Cap!.' A G
Boyce at Fort Worth than by any
case that has been in court for a
number of years. The persons con-
nected with the case are among the
most prominent and most' influential
in the state. Unlimited wealth is at
the disposal of both the prosecution
and the d%fer.se and the legal battle
has been fierce. The events leading
up to the killing were most sensa-
am !•) hi fel • mhii. "he sympac y
if tr.e p.iblic ams ratu aMv with Km
in his trouble on the dentructlo /
his home and all that makes life dear
to u man. Had he taken the law in-
to his own hands and done violence
to one or both of those guilty ofj
causing all this trouble, his wife and
A1 Boyce, many people would have
condoned the act and few would have
been willing to have him punished.
But he seems to have been too coward-
ly to make an attack upon A1 Boyce
or even upon his brother Lynn who
acknowledged that he assisted in the
elopement. He realized that they
were in the vigor of manhood and
and able to defend themselves. Think-
ing more of the safety of his own
carcass than of his great wrongB, he
passed them both by and murdered in
cold blood their defenseless father, a
man 70 years old sitting peaseably in
his chair and unarmed. His defense
is that he was temporarily insane
when he saw A1 Boyces father and
remembered the wrongs he had suf-
fered at the hands of the Boyces. Yet
he was fully able to control his pas-
sions and indignation when accord-
ing to hiB own testimony he unex-
pectedly arrived at home and four.d A1
Boyce and his wife alone in her bed-
room. He allowed the man who had
wronged him to go quietly away
from the house and made no effort to
take revenge although his wife in-
formed him of their relations. But
A1 Boyce was a young man and had
the reputation of being "quick on
trigger," and Beal Sneed did no
want to expose his precious body to
danger. However it was incumbent
upon him to show to the world that
ho resented the dispoiling of his
home and ho did it in the manner
which he considered safest to him-
self He deliberately anl in cold blood
killed the unarmed man with hoary
hairs and faltering footsteps.
Life is valued too cheaply in these
davs, especially the life of the other
man.
