THE SNELL CASE
(Interview on March 8, 1945)
No one was ever tried for the killing of William
Snell. Dave Kemp and Highsaugh were arrested for it but nothing came
of it. Everybody thought they were in it, thought they were out on the
wrong trail and that Hendricks had them to do
it. But there was no reliable evidence.
It was believed that one Chapman and Bogan were the ones who were on
the other trail and had killed him. These things did not all come up at
the time. That John Livingston, brother to the Jim
Livingston who was killed many years later, the Snell assassination
according to the record having been in 1880, was authority for some of the
theory, and also a man who still lived in Erath County and formerly lived
here. Though this is hearsay, it does all come from people who knew or
probably knew.
