As the pandemonium following the Jur; verdict of first degree murder broke Judge Henry L. Scerlett tentativelv set Monday morning as the date for u hearing on a motion for a new trial. If it is denied, he said he would sentence Snook immediately. Snook Apparently Unafraid The future holds no fear for Snoox if his diffident attitude is to be taken seriously. In his cell in the county jail last right six hours after the jury of 11 men and one woman had found him guilty without recommending mercy, he complacently ignored the verdicc that carries with it the penalty of geath in the electric chair. “I never gave the punishment thought until you mentioned it,” h said to reporters, And this expression of his mind was borne out by the expression on his face, which was stern and com- posed.

There is more {o the story, he said. But he clung to the assertion that he remembert nothing about severing the girl's jugular vein, an act which he once admitted in his alleged confession and which furnished the foundation for a charge of premeditated muar. der. Twenty-eight minutes after the jurors were sent out with this de- nial, they were ready to announce their declsion. Sigried Confesston Believed The verdfet was that Dr. Snook had been found guilty as charged in the indictment. His signed confes- sion that he ralned hammer blows on the head of the young girl and severed her jugular vein to put her out of misery, had been believed. Sniook’'s attorneys were displeased at the suddenness of the verdict, which was reached after one ballot and E. O. Ricketts, chief counsel, openly proclaimed that the defense liad been entitled to longer deliber- atlon. “The jury did not have time to go into the testimony of this case, and I am sure that we will have no trouble reversing the verdict,” Rick- etts said.

Yardstick Being: Prepared—Par- \ley Possible Before End of Year | hington, Aug. 15 (1) — The | British-American naval reduction | | negotiations have advanced from the Istage of strictly informal discussions nto that of the formulation of |apecific proposals. The progress attained by Prime | Minister MacDonald and Ambassa- | dor Dawes in London has been such, in fact, that President Hoover and Secretary Stimson are now hopeful that a definite .agreement on basic | tactors can be reached within the | next few weels. With that situation in mind, some | observers have been encouraged to renew predictions that an interna- tional naval conference will be con- | vened in London before the end of this year. It has not been made | clear, however, whether administra- tion officials are ready to' enter a |general conference pending agree- ment on a new “yardstick" for com- | parative ~ measurement - of the |strength of navies. | Development of such a formula, | |recognizing age, armor, gunpower, [speed, etc., as well as tonnage in computing the strenfith of a ship, was advanced as a preliminary step toward a naval agreement at the | meeting of the preparatory disarma- | ment commission. of the League of | Nations by Hugh S. Gibson, ambas- sador to Belgium, and head of the | American delegation at Geneva. The detailed American formula has not | |yet been submitted to the commis- sion. Hoover Breakfasts Experts It is assumed that the officials re- sponsible for the diplomatic aspects of the problem were given a thor- ough understanding of the *yard- | |stick” ideas being worked out by the naval experts at White House |breakfast yesterday, since they as {well as Secretarles Stimson and |Adams and Under Secretary Cotton |of the state department were alang |the president’s guests. Administration officials explained |afterward that the diplomatic discus- |sions had not reached the point | where a “yardstick” could be ap- |plied. The immediate problem, it | was brought out, is to establish an agreement on naval requirements, a “yardstick” not being needed until actual measurements to fix strength are taken up.
