FROM VI. P. INMAN ESTATE
Mr.. Inman Lett This Amount
to Atlanta for Hospital

ker p. Inman to the city of Atlanta for
hospital purposes will be paid over to the
city next week by the receivers for the

Mrs. Harriet F. Brandon.

shall be used for the benefit of the mater
nifty ward and $1,000 for general hospital
purposes The expenditure of the money
is left to the executors of the Inman es-
tate-James r. Gray and Mrs. Harriet
Branden-and the city authorities.
Mayor Maddox was officially notified OF
the legacy Saturday morning in COM
munication from the attorneys for the re-
ceivers. This letter was as follows:
Hon Robert f. Maddox. Atlanta, Ga:
Dear Sir: The will of the late Walker
P. Inman provides as follows:
ARTICLE VIII.
~ give, bequest and devise to the
city of Atlanta the sum OF five thousand
$4,000 dollars for hospital purposes, to
be paid by my executors to the proper
city authorities as soon as same can be
done conveniently after my death, which
sum / direct shall be used in the follow
ing manner: Two thousand $4,000 dollars
for the benefit of q maternity ward. or
for the erection of a maternity hospital;
the remaining three thousand $4,000 dol
lars to be used for general hospital pur-
poses in such manner as may be agreed
upon by my executors and the city au-
thorities; but said sum shall not be used
for any other purpose.
THE receivers have obtained an order
of court to pay over the sum of $1,000 to
the city of Atlanta in accordance with
article VIII, and they are ready to turn
over to you the money. We inclose here
with a receipt which we have drawn TO
cover the transaction. On your letting us
know whether or not the receipt Is In
proper form we will have the receivers or
one of them turn the money over to you
in accordance with the courts order
1t has been suggested that the 5000 be
used to repair and better equip the pres
ent maternity ward of the Grady hospi-
tai. which was erected and donated to
the city by the Old-Fashioned Women,
who raised the funds which paid for it by
various entertainments. The $1,000, 1t Is
said, could be expended to advantage In
the erection of an outdoor clinic for the
Grady hospital, an addition long desired.
Such a clinic would obviate the necessity
OF allowing clinical patients to traverse
the corridors of the hospital before dag
nosis or treatment and. would remove the
danger of infection by contagious diseases
suffered by the clinics patients

FOR BATHTUB MURDER
MISS WARDLAW IS HELD
Evidence Submitted in Pre-
Iiminary Trial Warranted
Holding for Grand Jury.

NEW YORK, Dec. 11.-Emotionless and
rticent as ever. Miss Virginia Wardlaw,
aunt of Mrs. Ocey w. NJ. Snead. victim of
the East Orange bath tub tragedy, was
sent back to jail today after a hearing
i'm the recorders court in East Orange,
to await the action of the grand jury on
the charge that she had murdered her
niece.
Recorder Mott held Miss wardlaw for
trial after witnesses had testified that
Ocey Snead's dead body had lain from
is hours to three or four days in the bar
ren East Orange house, where Miss
Wardlaw was her companion before the
authorities were notified of her death,
and a handwriting expert had sworn that
a different pen from that which wrote
the suicide note of Ocey Snead had been
used to write the signature to the pathet-
ic little document. Otherwise the hear
ing in the singular case was productive
of little positive testimony that bore upon
the manner of the death of the young
southern woman. or would tend to fix re-
sponsibility for it.
Miss Wardlaw, heavily yelled. sat In
court beside her counsel, Franklin w.
Fort, a son of Governor Fort, of New
Jersey. She seemed to resent the scru-
tiny of the crowd which packed the
court room and shielded her face at times
with a newspaper. although her features
were undistinguishable through the thick
veil.
An investigation showed that the death
had been unreported at least "a hours.an
search Of the house Indicated that Miss
Wardlaw it's only other occupant, had
inhabited il during the time her niece
lay dead in the bath room Life insurance
policies aggregating $4,000 on Ocey
Snead's' life and all drawn in favor of
Virginia Wardlaw, lay jumbled in
mass Of old newspapers.
Miss Wardlaw told the police she had
come to East Orange for her niece'S
health, but the house was poorly lighted
and closely shut in, furnished only with
broken chairs and old boxes. The girls
body was pitifully emaciated.
Physicians and nurses who had visited
the Snead-W ardlaw family in New York
and Brooklyn brought tales of what ap-
reared to them systematic neglect.

ily insured Is missing, though 1t is not
thought he is dead. Mrs. Caroline Ward

funeral.
The family, though in the pinches OF
sharp poverty, proved we'll connected In
the south, and we'll befriended In the
north. Franklin Fort Jr., a son of gov
ernor OF the state, has been retained
as counsel with ample funds and the
case is sure TO be fought with resolu
