THREE SISTERS ARRESTED.
Another Aunt Of ocey snead In New
York Jail.

New York, N. Y.-The three sisters
tiers who held the life of Ocey Snead in
their hands have one by one come
within the reach Of the law, until now
separate cells hold them ali, charged
by the authorities of East Orange,
N. J., with the murder of their niece
and daughter.
OF the girls immediate relatives
only her bedridden grandmother. Mrs.
Wardlaw, SO years old, and Fletcher
Snead, the cousin she married, are still
at large. The rumor that Fletcher
Snead, the missing husband, has been
found in hiding at st. GATHERINGS, Ont.
was denied by the police.
Shortly after the arraignment of Mrs.
Caroline w. Martin, Ocey Snead's
mother, there followed the third ar
rest in the case-that of Mrs. Mary
Snead, Mrs. Martins sister, and at
once the aunt and mother-in-law of
Ocey Snead. She was taken from her
lodgings in New York, charged with
being a fugitive from the justice Of
New Jersey, where a warrant, similar
to that issued against her sister, was
sworn out charging murder.
Mrs. Martin was arraigned in police
court and committed to the Tombs
prison, pending the arrival of extra.
dition papers from New Jersey. Dur.
ing her examination she spoke as brief.
ly as possible. Mrs. Martin is GA years
old and feeble of body, though reso.
lutte and alert of mind.
Mrs. Mary Snead, when taken to po.
lice headquarters, was more erect in
her bearing than Mrs, Martin, but
equally reticent. Mrs. Martins pitt.
full infirmity saved her the indignity
Of being measured and photographed,
but Mrs. Snead escaped none Of the
humiliating details. She will be ex-
amined to determine whether she can
Justly be held for extradition.
The three notes found among Mrs.
Martins effects, all similar in hand
writing and wording to the suicide
note found pinned to Ocey Snead's
clothes, beside the bathtub in which
she was drowned, were deemed sufa.
cient evidence Mrs. Martin.
The point made against Mrs. SneaA
is that she was party with Miss
Wardlaw to the renting Of the unfutn'
ished house in East Orange in which
Ocey Snead was found dead.

FORMER lTAscA TREAsuRER 10
CONVICTED or GRAND
LARCENY.
A SHORTAGE OF 100000
Charged With the Appropriation Of
County Funds 70 Own Uss-psn.
atty 10 Not TO Exceed 30 Years
In state Prison.

Grand Rapids-The Jury In the case
against A. A. Kremer, former county
treasurer, brought in . verdict Of guil.
ty on the charge of grand larceny for
appropriating county funds for hia
own use.
The defense had not admitted that
the late treasurer had taken any funds
Of the county, but its principle conten.
ton was that the accused was suffer.
ing from morphine insanity.
The statutory penalty for grand lar.
ceny is not to exceed 10 years in state
prison.
The trial had lasted all OF the past
week and most Of the time was taken
up with expert testimony as to the san
ity Of the accused. DR.. Arthur swee-
ney Of st. Paul testified that Kremer
was not insane when he examined him
Nov. 2. DR.. w. A. Jones of Mime
apolis also gave testimony in the case.
Kremer was defended by Senator G..
G. McCarey and the prosecution was
conducted by Frank Price, county at
torney.
The defalcations by Mr.. Kremer
were discovered early in October and
reported to Attorney General George
T. Simpson. He transmitted the mat
ter to the public examiner and Deputy
M. F. Kahn was sent to Grand Rapids
to make an examination. He reported
that he had found shortage Of $4,000,
and that $4,000 had been restored and
that he had Kremer arrested and took
charge of the Office. Governor Eber-
bart at once suspended him.
When Mr.. Kahn went into the books
further. he found more and more short
ages, extending over period Of near
ly three years. The latest report was
that the shortage would be close to
100000.
Warwick, Mitchell and company, ex.
pert accountants, are working, on the
books and although they have not COM
pleted their work, it is intimated that
the shortage will be even larger than
supposed.
A large part of it will be restored
and most of the remainder will be paid
by the bonding company.
During his first term of office he was
bonded by the Metropolitan Surety
company, now defunct, and the county
may lose some on that account.

Of Nicaragua. Apparently there was
no other course for him to take. The
people were at last aroused. The

The warships of the United States lay
in Nicaraguan ports.
Managua has been seething for
days. The spirit Of revolt has spread
even to the gates of the palace. Ze-
laya surrounded himself with an
armed guard. Unchecked, the popu-
lace has marched through the streets,
crying for the end of the old, proclaim
Ing the new regime.
Accompanying his resignation. Ze-
laya sent the following message to
congress-:
THE painful circumstances in which
the country is plunged call for acts Of
abnegation and patriotism on the part
of good citizens who are the witness.

the heavy hand of fate. The country
Is staggering under a shameless revo-
luton which threatens the nations

Justly intervenes in our affairs, public.
ly providing the rebels with arms.
TO avoid further bloodshed, and for
the reason that the revolutionists have
declared that they would put down
their arms when surrendered the ex-
ecutive power, I hereby place in the
hands Of the national assembly the
abandonment Of the remainder of my
term of Office, which is to be filled by
a substitute Of their choosing, with the
hope that this will result in good to
Nicaragua, the establishment of
peace and particularly the suspension

strong and influential, even among the
revolutionists, but General Estrada,
under whose command the great body

Of him. Estrada's word will bear
weight in the choice of a president.
Zelaya has known, too, that Madriz

be looked upon with favor by that gov
eminent as his successor, but the
American government so far as can be
learned, has named no man and the
choice probably will lie with those who
have gained the upper hand.
