Ruth Snyder and Henry Gray Plead Not Guilty to Murder
Ruth Snyder and Henry Judd Gray, confessors in a Queens homicide case, pleaded not guilty in magistrate court. They repudiated their confessions and await grand jury action. Spurred by an alleged love affair and an insurance motive, the couple reportedly killed Albert Snyder, the art editor husband, with a window sash weight and chloroform. Gray said he helped plan the murder but denied tying Snyder’s throat while Snyder and Gray’s wife were involved in a separate affair assessment. The case included details of an insurance increase and a chaotic aftermath with ransacked rooms and false burglary cues.
