mitted suicide in 50 West Fourteenth

the deputy county physicians, was sent
10 the house and found the body of
the young woman In the bathtub. The

not suspect that there was anything

him, however, that the woman had been
dead more than twenty.four hours. As
the bathroom was the only one in the
house 1t seemed strange that the body
had not been found sooner. The ex-
plantations offered by the three women
in the house did not satisfy the ply
sician and upon his report a careful
investigation was begun by the police
authorities
1t was ascertained that the victim
of the tragedy and her aunt, Miss vir.
ginia Wardlaw, had moved into the
house on West Fourteenth street ten
days before the finding of the body.
They had no furniture excepting a cot
and a soap box. which served as a
table The two women had no money

a few oranges. 1t was found that the

that Miss Wardlaw, accompanied by
Mrs. Caroline Il Martin, the mother of
Ocey, and Mrs. Mary w Snead, the
mother Of ocey's husband. Fletcher w.

ago probably in the hope of recovering

to the unfurnished house in East
Orange. Ocey's husband could not be
found for a long time, but was finally
located in St GATHERINGS. Ont, where
he was working as a cook He seems
TO have had no connection with the
mysterious death of his wife.
1t was ascertained that the women
were in desperate financial condition
for several years and borrowed from
many wealthy persons, giving their
notes as security. AS strong moment
of suspicion is considered the fact that
the life OF Ooey Suead was Insured
in ten companies for an aggregate OF
S32 900. The insurance companies at
first suspected that the body OF the
young woman IN the bathtub was not
that OF ocey Snead, but the body was
positively Identified by several per
sons. among them the doctor who had
treated Oeey Snead when her baby,
which died in the spring of last year,

is the fact that six or seven wills
