MAN WHO KILLED WIFE DIES

Swallowed Poison After Crime -- Wife Formerly from Lockport

Houston, Texas, Jan. 29 - Ward SNYDER, the oil man who killed his wife,
Lorena BERESFORD SNYDER, in a sanitarium here yesterday, died early to-day from
poison he swallowed after the crime. SNYDER was the son of N. S. SNYDER, a
wealthy Pittsburgh, Pa., capitalist and oilman.
Mrs. SNYDER was killed with a large pocket knife. SNYDER, who had been
admitted to his wife's room by a nurse, was not able to make a statement
until some time later.
It is said that Mrs. SNYDER was formerly the wife of a teacher of vocal
music named Arthur BERESFORD, of Chicago.
She was a member of BERESFORD's Vocal Music Class in Boston and was
herself a musical company and singer. They were divorced three years ago.
Before her marriage she was Lorena WHEELER, of Lockport, N. Y.
SNYDER rallied at intervals last night and anxiously asked when his
father would arrive. He asserted his wife desired to leave him since last August
in order to obtain a divorce and wed an actor. He freely confessed insane
jealousy. He said his wife just before her death renewed her wish to leave him.
Miss Ethel TALBOT, a companion of Mrs. SNYDER, here, left for St. Louis
without adding much to the history of the couple.
