LITTLE LIGHT

MYSTERY
INSURANCE COMPANIES
REFUSE TO PAY POLICIES
Not Satisfied That Corpse
Found in Deserted House at
East Orange Was That of
Unfortunate Mrs. Snead.


lBS Morning Jourhai spec'si Lehsta Wirei
New York, Dec. 3.-The three great
companies in which Mrs. Ocey Ward
lay Martin Snead held life insurance
for upwards of $4,000, announced to-
day they would refuse to honor the
policies until it had been proved that
the body of the half starved young
woman found in the bath tub of an
unturnished house in East Orange, y
j., last Monday is that of Mrs Snead.
The policy for $4,000 on the life
of her husband, Fletcher Snead. who
is missing, is also unpaid, and no
claim has been put in for the insur-
ance. A company agent detailed to
the case said today:
I'VE don't believe Snead is dead.
We don't know that Mrs. Snead is
dead 1t seems incredible that any
woman not hypnotized or drugged
could be persuaded to endure such in
genuities of mental suffering and bod
lily privation as this poor girl now in
the morgue underwent. and, if she had
any claims on the ties of blood and
family and devotion.
I'VE do know that three separate
sets of policies in duplicate on the life
of young Mrs. Snead were issued in
favor of her aunt, Miss Virginia
Wardlaw, now under arrest at East
Orange, on the plea, in each instance,
that the previous set had been lost.
Was money borrowed on these dupli-
Gates? We do not know
The police today were busy with A

store and recently discovered They
contained thousands of words of
compilation on insurance policies and

and intellectually of the grim old
woman who now sits mute in cell.
Such names are signed to them as
Alice :. Freemcn, president Of Wei
lesley college; Alexander II. Ormand,
president Of medical science at Prince
ton university; Charles Young, pro-
fcssor of English literature at Colum
bia university, and others The papers
also indicate that young Mrs. Snead
was the daughter of Colonel Robert
Martin who once lived handsomely in
New York and left her fortune Of
100000, which has completely dis
appeared.
Dr. Jacob Wachsman told the
Brooklyn police tonight that ON Sep

attorney who drew her third will The
young woman, he said, was apparent
ly under hynotic influence. He found
her suffering from neurasthcnia pro-
