Mr, Wilson in.opening his ad- dress, said that if "intent" was not the motive, what did Snider have the gun for on that night? He said the boys did go for treats, and as far as the evidence about Snider opening the door a crack and firing out, it was contrary to the evidence of the boys, as they distinctly stat- ed that he came out onto the plat- form and fired.
