Sacramento Bee Monday, February 20, 1905 SNYDER TO PROSECUTE WITNESSES FOR PERJURY YREKA (Siskiyou Co.), February 20 - The third trial of Jack SNYDER on the charge of murder, for the killing of a man named POTTER at Butte Creek, resulted in a verdict of acquittal, as told in Saturday's Bee. Two of the witnesses at the trial against Snyder, a full-blooded Indian named William ACUSTA, and a quarter-breed named Frank DAMPLER, are now locked up in jail on the charge of perjury, alleged to have been committed during the trial. They swore that on the streets of Ashland, Oregon, on July 12, 1903, while standing talking to Snyder, Potter, the man whom Snyder killed, passed by, and that Snyder pointed to him and said "There goes the man I am after, and I will get him yet." Snyder says he has positive proof that he was not in Ashland on that date and he swore to a charge of perjury against them. Potter was a friend of the Indians. They will be vigorously prosecuted.
