Snook wept on the witness stand today as he told the jury in his first degree murder tiral today how he killed Theora Hix. As he approached the telling of the fatal minute when he struck the first hammer blow on the girl’s head the steady voice faltered, his eyes filled with tears and he cried openly. For more than a full minute he sat struggling for speech and dabbing at his eyes with his handkerchief. Dr. Snook testified that he struck the first blow to protect himself from an attack by the girl as they sat in his car parked on a lonely rifle range. Blow Stopped Her The blow stopped her, he said, and she jumped from the car shouting: “Damn you, I'll kill you, too.” Her purse was in her hand, and the defendant, fighting for his life from the witness chair declared he thought she had a pistol in the purse, and was leaving the car to shoot him. The story was the climax to Dr. Snooks’ account of this three - year love affair with the medic co-ed. It had carried them to the New York Central rifle range where they sat in his parked car arguing because he intended to leave town to visit his mother at Lebanon, Ohio.

I hit her a sec- ond blow and she slid out of the car onto the ground. I hit her again, but that blow had no more effect than the others. “I am sure I didn’t hit her more than three times in the car and once after I got out. The last I remem- bered was when I was sitting on the running board holding my head in my hands.” Dr. Snook said he sat on the run- flight around the world. ‘our hundred Lue clad sailors tugged at the ropes dropped from the enormous frame of the mistress of the ocean skies.
