Missing Husband Has Not Been Lo-
Gated -. Physician Who Attended

tRv Associated Press.)

New York, Dec. 4.-The physician
who attended Mrs. Ocey Snead at the
birth Of her baby, visited the morgue
at East Orange, N. j., today and pos.
itively identified the body there as
that of Mrs. Snead. His evidence, If
confirmed, disposes of a theory ad-
vanced by insurance companies in
which Mrs. Snead held policies, that
a substitute, intended to impersonate
her, had been smuggled into the un-
furnished house, where on last Mon.
day young woman was found in a
half filled bath tub.
There is thus far no proof that the
girl did not die as the note found at
her side says-by suicidal drowning
If the case is pronounced one of
the suicide the prosecution will en-
deavor to show that Mrs. Snead was
driven to it by insistent mental sug-
gestion, an deliberately inflicted tor
ture. Miss Virginia Wardlaw, an
aunt of the victim, is still in jail.
Fletcher Snead, the missing hus-
band, whose life also was insured for
$4,000, has not been found and the
police are investigating a rumor that
he is a prisoner at the Elmira, N Y,
reformatory.

Los Angeles, Cal. Dec. 4.-Ernest
PendletOn, prosperous baker who
has lived in this city for twenty years
is confronted today with the difficult
proposition presented by the fact
that he has suddenly found himself
possessed of two wives, and that he
has two households to provide for and
supervise.
The fact that his two wives are
sisters and that there is not only no
dlscord between them, but great af-
fection, and that he is eqal1y fond of
both, only tends to complicate the sit
uation.
Thirteen years ago Mr.. Pendleton
was married to his first wife in this
city, and he lived with her several
years.
Then she was attracted to a band
Of religious people known as the Holy
Rollers, and went away with them
eHaring that she had procured a di-
vorce in Denver, Pendleton, three
years ago, married a younger sister
Of the first Mrs. Pendleton in this
city.
The first MRS. Pendleton returned
to Los Angeles few days ago and
has returned to her former husband
and been forgiven. While he don't
know yet just what his legal matri-
monial standing is in regard to the
sisters, Pendleton has undertaken to
maintain an establishment for each

mother who found her dying on the
front porch of the house. Her lips
were burned with acid. The diam
ond earrings were gone. Every cir
cumstance pointed to murder, but the
police advance another theory.
The girl may have quarreled with
the person who gave her the diam
onds and returned them. Then in a
fit of remorse she may have killed
herself and in order to protect her
family told the murder story. If the
girl was murdered her slayer enter
ed the front bedroom dragging her to
the porch and after taking her dia-
monds poured acid down her throat.
