CHARGES MADE
IN SNE:AD CAST:
eRuEsoME PHRAsEoLoGY IN IN
DIcTMENTs OF WARDLoMs
FOR WoMAN'S MURDER.

New York, Dec 27.-Gruesome
of the indictments against
the Wardlaw sisters charged with the
murder of Ocey Snead, was made pub
lie in the arraignment of Mrs. Caro- |
line W. Martin, the victims mother'
and Mrs. Mary Snead, an aunt, IN the
Tombs police court, when they were
recommitted to the Tombs for ten
days, pending extradition to New
Jersey.
In the indictments against both it
is charged that they did take the
said Ocey Snead with both their
hands and cast throw and push said
Ocey Snead into certain bathtub
where there was a great quantity OF
water and by means of which said
Ocey Snead was choked, suffocated
and drowned
Another count charges that Mrs.
Martin and Mrs. Snead did incite, pro-
cure, abet. counsel hire and command
Virginia Wardlaw to do and commit
murder upon The body of Ocey Snead.
AS heretofore told, the grand jury, as
an additional precaution, charges all
three with aiding and abetting the
victims suicide.
Colonel Hare, counsel for Mrs. Mar
tin, declares he has evidence to show
that the young woman was what is
known in the popular vernacular as
dope fend
"By that mean" said the attorney,
chat she used drugs. chiefly morphine
for nearly two years before she died
I have learned this from talking with
her mother about the case.
"The hypodermic needle was used
upon her when she was seriously i'll,
continued Col. Hare, "and after that
its employment was constant. She
tried to stop the habit and would re-
sist for long periods Then would
/ come another period of illness and the
/ temptation to gain relief was too great
/ for her to resist She would go for
/ days and days without food, living on
morphine, am convinced that it was
in this condition that she destroyed
herself"
! Colonel Hare said that this would
be Mrs. Martins defense against the
charges of numbering her daughter.
Further complications in the maze
of contradictory evidence which inves-
tigation of the case has unearthed has
| developed with the discovery or addl'
tional documents. They were found
by the Brooklyn police in the Henry
| street house once occupied by the
I Wardlaws, and imbued the detectives
with the belief that the entire family
had made suicide agreement which
was only partly fulfilled by the death
of Ocey Snead.
The alleged compact is said to be
revealed by letters signed by Ocey
Snead, her husband Fletcher, Mrs
Martin, her mother and her two aunts
Mrs Mary Shead and Miss Virginie
Wardlaw. Accompanying them were
several blank powers of attorney al
signed by Ocey Snead, The documents
have been turned over to the New
Jersey authorities.

AN Open SWITCH
CAUSES TROUBLE
FREIGHT TRAIN TAKES TO EN-
CINE TRACK WITH DIsAs-
TRoUs RESULTS.

Running in on the engine track In
stead of taking the lead for the south
yards, Burlington freight train from
the west crashed into an engine near
the master-mechanic's office this morn
ing and shunted it toward the turn
table doing considerable damage.
Engineer Tom Ware was slightly in
iured.
The accident took place about 8 a.
M, shortly before No. IS left for Bur
lington, and owing to the mix-up, the
passenger train was forced to back up
to the Union depot yards and cross
over to the north track in order to pro-
coed east. The switch at Vine street
was set for the engine track instead
of for the south yards, and was not
discovered until engine No. 2079 pull
ing a heavy freight and in charge OF
Conductor G. Richards and Engineer
Tom Ware, proceeded onto the engine
or roundhouse track. Seeing the mis-
take as soon as the switch was passed
Engineer Ware threw on the emerg
ency brake but greasy and frozen
rails did not offer sufficient resistance
to prevent the freight engine from
hitting Engine No. 2077 which lay
waiting on the engine track to take
put an extra east. The impact of the
freight train on the standing locomo
tive, thrust the latter with consider
able force through the roundhouse ext
toward the turntable where, owing Z
the location of the table, the gasoline
engine that propels it was shattered
The pony trucks of No. 2077 We're
forced over the top of the table pit be
fore the engine stopped.
Engineer Ware was the only one re
ported injured in the accident and MI
side was slightly bruised by the SUD
den stop throwing him against tn
cab. The pilots Of both engines Wer'
badly damaged but little other damag
