Many Unusual
Developments
in Snead Case
Mystery Which Has Baffled Police
at East Orange, N. J., Seems
to Deepen.

LHr 49, 800 ~ H4TTr .
NEW YORK, Dec. 9.-The body Of ocey
Snead was buried today, but an uncom-
promising inquiry into the manner of her
death goes on undated at East Orange.
N. j., where Virginia Wardlsw, her spin
ster aunt, is held a prisoner pending an
investigation by the grand jury.
Sentiment aside" said the chief Of po-
lice. there remain the brute facts in this
case, and nothing In explanation OF them
has been offered. We have a girl, found
dead in twelve inches OF water in a bath
tub, on the one hand, and on the other, the
woman who last saw her alive but failed
to report her death until twenty-fohr hours
after 1t must nave been discovered. Aunt
and niece lived in the same house; 1t is
incredible that the bath room could have
remained unvisited for that length Of time
OF that in their closely related life one Of
the two could have been absent SO long
from the house without arousing the anx-
iety Of the other.
These two basic facts alone are suffi-
Client in themselves to warrant their pre-
sentation to the grand jury, even IL there
were no tangle OF Insurance to unravel, no
diagnosis Of mal-nutrition and hypnosis by
a reputable physician, no duplication of
wills and no attempted purchase of chloro-
form to kill CATS"
Mayor Cardwell of East Orange issued
an order this afternoon that Mrs. Caroline
Martin, mother of Mrs. Ocey Snead, be
arrested II found in New Jersey. "A tech
meal charge of vagranoy could be pre-
ferred against her" he said. and she
could be held until this case has been
thoroughly aired
Mrs. Martin, however, has shown no de-
sire to visit New Jersey. She did not APP
pear at the funeral OF her daughter today
and the only representative OF the family
at the grave was Mrs. Mary Snead, mother
of Fletcher snead, the missing husband,
Heavily yelled and shaken by conclusive
sobs, there seemed no doubt OF her genuine
grief.
Mrs. Snead would not tell whether her
son, Fletcher, is alive OF dead. Franklin
Fort, jr., her sisters counsel, had advised
silence, she said. Mr.. Fort admits, for his
part, however, that the retieence and in
tense pride of the family have hampered
him in matters as to which he desires
fuller knowledge. Both Mrs. Mary Snead
and her mother, Mrs. Martha Wardlaw, he
said. would be conveyed into seclusiOn to-
night.
