Mary 8. Karns, one of many young ‘women who had lived with and been married to Walter J.

The man was slain with a pair of scissors, one of the biades of which was driven into bis heart. The autopsy purforindé on. embod Snyder this afternoon showed that Als companion in the flat had sum-; Medical assistance im:nediately the stabbing, his life could have been saved. The scissor blade pierced) only the pericardium, or outer covering , of the heart, and death did not follow until et least an hour after the infliction * of the wound. Coroner's Physician Otto C, shultz + eald after the autopsy: VONYDER'’S LIFE MIGHT HAVE BEEN SAVED. “Of the four wounds inflicted by the scissors only one actually got to the heart and ‘hie did not plorce the organ jiteelf, only the outer wall and the cor- rinary vein. The blood from the punc- { tured vein filled up the outer covering 4 of the heart and formed a clot that | gradually compressed the heart action | nti) life was extinct, But more than {an hour must have passed before death -same and with proper medical atten- tion the man's life could have been saved." ‘The slender dark little woman of thirty-five was filppantly cool almost up to the moment the Coroner an- mounced his decision, She had exnibited an amazing tack of emotion ever since ie errest last night, and remained un- ! ghakenly calm until the Coroner had al- most finished his second examination oe ner to-day. Then she suddenly broke \@own and sobbed that she was inno- feamt and that the remarkable tragedy ‘was an accident. ‘Mics Karn insisted that she was one ‘women who were regularly to Snyder, but her dates were confused and she refused to tell here the marriage had taken place. admitted that she succeeded a vast- ore attractive young woman, Miss Fret tantly shifting household u little than a month ago, and that there been @ long interval between the he had lived with him, and when went back to him in the flat Miss ufield had practically been driven out, @be told that Snyder had abandoned her in Detroit for @ Miss Yeager, whom te married in 190, and who at one time 5 @ued him for divorce, naming Miss Cau- ) field, PEFE , TELLS OF RIVAL WHO ENTERED bi LIFE IN DETROIT. ) While waiting for the arrival of Cor- j ener Hellenstoin tails morning Mise { Karns elaborated her yesterd@y's ac- ' gount of how Snyder came to his death. ) Bhe smiled and was cool as ice until the Climax of her narrative, Sle said; _ “I was born in Morristown, N, J.
