Mays Landing, N. j., Aug. 12.-As Q
sequel to the tar and feather punish
ment administered to Farmer Frank
Sichert at Mckee City by a number OF
residents of that little woods town
who are known as the Terrible Ten

GIRL SAVES
HER SISTERS
BY STARVING

Newark, N. j., Aug. 12.-While there
Is no question that Miss Virginia o.
Wardlaw, one of the three sisters In
dicted for the murder. of Ocey w. NJ.
Snead in East Orange, N. j., died of
starvation In the house Of detention
here, there Is difference of opinion to-
day as to whether the accused woman
refused food with the grim determine,
ton to slowly end her life in the tor
ment of famine to save her sisters or
was unable to eat. Her death will
make 1t impossible to convict the other
two women.
Whether the starvation was self In
f1icted or was due to her inability to
eat is a question. DR.. Roth intimated
that the patient might have eaten
nourlshing food some days ago II she
had wished to, but that eating would
have been impossible for her during
the last day or so. Warden McGuin-
ness and other jail officials said that
the prisoner would have taken food II
she had been able. to. Others who are
In a position to know say that the
woman was deliberately trying to end
her life by starvation.
Miss Wardlaw had taken little food
for two weeks. Substantial food is
served in the county jail, and when
she did not eat her portion food was
sent from the table of the warden and
matron. Delicacies Of various kids
were prepared for her, but Miss Ward
law ate less and less each day until q
week ago she took but little nourish.
ment. Since then she has told the war
den that b could not eat and If she
did eat the food would not stay on her
stomach.
After a consultation with Or. Roth
the warden bought some buttermilk
for the prisoner and for a day or two
she drank some Of 1t. Then she lost
her liking for 1t, and recently she had
nothing In the way of nourishment ex-
cept that which had been arti6cially
administered. DR.. Roth said that in
his recent examinations he found
many, II not all, of the symptoms that
oouoiiJ accompany btaA atioh
At the bedside Of the woman when
she died were Mrs. Richard B. Spindle
Of Christenburg, Va, a sister of Miss
Wardlaw; the Rev. A. G. Wardlaw.
her brother; Chauncey Fl. Beasley, her
counsel and two nurses.
An effort was made by the jail OH
cials to have Mrs. Caroline b. Martin
and Mrs. Mary W. Snead. the two
other sisters, who are locked up at the
county jail across the street, at the
bedside when the end came. They
called up Deputy Sheriff Reilly at the
courthouse to get permission, but he
would not approve unless the jail peo-
pie got the consent of the doctor.
The doctors had left several minutes
before and the jail authorities could
sisters had to remain in their cells
while their sister died In a building
just across the street.
1t is extremely doubtful whether
Mrs. Martin or Mrs. Snead will ever
be brought to trial. 1t is the expecta
ton here that the case will be nolle
pressed. The prosecutions case cen
tered In Miss Wardlaw by reason OF
her having been with Ocey Snead In
the East Orange house during her last
days. 1t was Miss Wardlaw who took
Ocey Snead to East Orange from New
York. She rented the house and was
In 1t when ocey Snead's death anne tc

told the police OF the death.
