MYSTERY NOT UNRAVELED
No Proof That Mrs. 0cey Snead Did
Not Commit Suicide as Stated
in Note.

New York, Dec. 4.-The physician who
attended Mrs. Ocey Snead at the birth Of
her baby visited the morgUe at East Or
ange. n. j. today and positively idenu-
fled the body there as that of Mrs. Snead.
His evidence, Il confirmed, disposes Of a
theory advanced by insurance companies
In which Mrs. Snead held policies, that a
substitute, intended to mpersonate her,
had been smuggled into the unfurnished
house, where, on last Monday, a young
woman wsss found dead in a half-filled
bathtub.
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 suicide,
the prosecution will endeavor to show
that Mrs. Snead was driven to 1t by in
sistent mental suggestions and deliberate
ly inflicted bodily torture. Miss Virginia
Wardlaw, an aunt Of the victim, is still
in Jail
Fletcher snead, the missing husband.
whose life also was insured for 81, 600,
has not been found, and the police are in
vestigating a rumor that he is a prisoner
at the Elmira, n. Y, reformatory.

BAKER HAS TWO WIVES
TO LOVE AND cherish
Serious Problem Confronts Ernest
Pendleton Of Los Angeles Just
at Present.

Los Angeles. Dec. 4.-Ernest Pendleton,
a prosperous baker, who has lived ia this
city for twenty years IS confronted today
with the difficult proposition presented
by the fact that ne has suddenly found
himself possessed OF two wives. and that
he has two households 10 provide for and
supervise. The fact that his two wives
are sisters and that there Is not only no
discord between them, but great affec-
ton, and that he is equally fond Of both
only tends to c0mDlicate the situation Tor
him.
Thirteen years ego afr. PendletOn was
married to mis- first wife in this city,
he lived with her seven years. Then she
was attracted TO a band Of religious peo-
pie known as Holy Rollers and went away
with them. Hearing that she had pro-
cured a divorce in Denver, Pepdleton
three years ago, married a younger sister
of the first Mrs. Pendeton in this city.
The first Mrs. Pendleton returned 70
Los Angeles a few days ago and has met
her former husband and been forgiven.
While he does not know yet Just what
his legal matrimonial standing is in re-
gard to the sisters, Pendleton has under
taken to maintain an establishment Tor
each until some solution or the difficult
problem can be found.

The officers and 700 marines on board
the Prairie are chafing at the delay in
getting away, but are working vigOr-
Gus to help feat the ship. The marines
have been put to good use in tighten

The work Of preparing the transport
Dixie, now at the navy yard, has pro-
crossed SO far that the ship can sail
within a few hours to take the Prairie's
place. The Dixie was being made ready
for sea before the Prairie went aground,

reached the yard the work OF getting
her ready was pushed as much as pos
sible. The officers Of the Dixie fully
expect to be ordered to take the Prai-
rie's marines to the isthmus Of Panama.

N AN FRANCISCO and her fight poll
tics again come to the front. Billy
~ Papke, according to the most re-
liable accounts of the battle yesterday
afternoon at Colma with Ketchel, was
robbed of a decision, and in the face OF
bad beating administered the cham-
pion in the opening and final rounds
Referee Roche awarded the contest to
the Michigan man. While it is not pos
sible for any person who has not sat at
ringside to speak with the voice or
authority the dispatches are eloquent
of the situation which occurred as the
referee lifted Ketcheps blood-bespat-
tered arm in token of victory. That
concourse of people which had placed
thousands of dollars on the title holder
and had shown their extreme confidence
in him by installing him 10 to 4
favorite over the Kewanee Thunderbolt,
arose and Kissed and hooted the YER
dict. When this happens in San Fran
cisco in a gathering in which probably
nine out of every ten bettors in the
assemblage have placed their good coin
on the champion and had given pig
odds, It shows there is some reason for
Ed Papkes declaration that his brother
was robbed. 1t seemed to be the gem
eral opinion that the least portion
which Papke should have received was
a draw. Fight crowds are tickle and
sometimes uncertain. Thelr IDEAS con-
cerning the winner are not always to
be relied on, for sympathy sways many
man, but in this instance the protest
was so quick and so unanimous that
the smoke surely conceals little blaze.
It looks like the old story of the sure
thing victory for the champion and
favorite.
Word was received in Los Angeles
last night that when Tom McCarey
returns to the southland tomorrow he
will be accompanied by Stanley Ket-
chel. After the battle yesterday 1T was
declared that the champion had broken
his hand and there seemed to be some
doubt of his ability to fulfill his en-
gagement with Jim Flynn, carded for
the evening of July IA at Maud June
ton in a ten-round affair. Should
Ketchers injuries prove serious, he
undoubtedly will be forced to lay off
for several weeks, as a broken hand is
a serious handicap to a hard punching
man like Ketchel, and Flynn. might
helm it along a little by smashing the
