QUEST FOR MOTHER
IS REWARDED BY
HER ARREST
Mrs. Martin, Mother Of Mrs.
Snead Charged With Murder
NOTES FOUND IN HER ROOM
Identical With That Discovered On
Heap of Clothes Near the Body
of Her Daughter

New York, Dec. 16.-Mrs Caroline
w. Martin, much sought in connec-
ton with the mysterious death of her
daughter. Mrs. Ocey w. NJ. Snead, at
East Orange, n. j., appeared in New
York yesterday with characteristic
eccentricity for a brief moment. Ear
ly this morning she was arrested
charged with the murder OF her
daughter.
Three Undated Notes Found.
In the bathroom of her vacated
room in an uptown hotel were found
three undated notes written on soiled
note paper in a round, girlish hand
identical with the handwriting of the
note found in the East Orange bath
room pinned TO the little heap of
clothes near the body of Ocey Snead.
The notes vary slightly in phraseo-
logy, but are all substantially as fol
lows:
Last year my little daughter died.
Other near and dear kindred, too.
have gone to heaven. | long to go
there. too. | have been very weak
and i'll long time. Death will be
blessed relief to me in my sufferings.
When you read this ! will have com
mitted suicide. My sorrow and pain
in this world are greater than can
endure.
"Ocey W. NJ. Snead"
This wording is substantially the
same as that of the East Orange note
on which hinges the whole case of
the state of New Jersey against Vir-
ginia Wardlaw, Mrs. Martins sister,
and the last person known to have
seen Ocey Snead alive.

GREAT RING BATTLE
Johnson-ketchel Fight to Be at Ii
rary Hall Tomorrow.


Though Jack Johnson is still the
heavyweight champion, he had the
narrowest squeak of his long ring
career when he met Stanley Ketchel
the middleweight champion. in a
grUelling and vicious fight for supre.
macy at Colma. Nothing can give
such a clear and vivid idea of this
memorable battle than the moving
pictures taken at the ringside on that
afternoon. These pictures have been
secured for a special engagement at
the Library hall theatre on Friday.
Everyone who has read of the white
mans wonderful fight want to see
these pictures.
Judged by the many feminine spec
tators that have seen the motion pic.
lures of the JOhnson-Ketchel fight at
the different theatres where they
have been exhibited, boxing has TAX
en- as great a hold on femininity as II
has IN California.
OF the fifteen thousand spectators
who saw the contest at Coffrotb's
Arena in California many hundre d
were women. Despite its seeming i'm
probability members OF the fair sex
OF the best families attend champion
ship matches in California. Whether
this is the result of a newer civiliza-
ton is not known.
AS the pictures revolve before your
eye, ladies in their fashionable raj

lures at the Library theatre next Fri
day afternoon and evening are evnac-
ted to interest many of our own fair
citizens and no doubt many of them
will enjoy them hugely
