Woman Indicted
StarveS Herself
One of Mysterious Sisters Involved in
Alleged Murder of Mrs. 0cey
Snead Commits Suicide.

NEWARK, N. j., Aug. 12-Mrs. Vir-
ginla Wardlow, one of the mysterious Sis
tiers under indictment for the murder of
Mrs. Ocey William Nj. Snead, the EAST
Orange bath tub victim, died In the house
OF detention here this afternoon Death
was due. in the opinion Of physicians, to
starvation. The fate OF the aged woman
in this respect paralleled that or her al
legged victim. for doctors who examined
Ocey Snead before her death, said her all
ments were all due to lack of nourish-
ment food.
In the opinion of jail attendants. Miss
Wardlow deliberately starved herself to
death. This has revived rumors circulated
at the time of Ocey Snead's death, when
the history OF the mysterious household
was under Investigation. that a suicide pact
existed between Miss Wardlow and her
niece.
For several weeks the woman's condition
had been growing worse and last Mon
day she was removed from the Jail TO
the house OF detention. In the cell she
had occupied was found a quantity Of stale
food. which the prisoner had concealed.
What effect Virginia Wardlow's death
will have on the fate of her sisters Is still
to be determined. She was the dominat-
ing influence OF the strange household and
predictions were made tonight that Mrs.
Caroline b. Martin and Mrs. Mary w.
Snead may never be brought to trial The
sisters were indicted Jointly.

friends at afternoon tea parties, at which
dainty sandwiches are served with milk

ginia and Master Ben Cotton. Topsy's mis-
tress, little Miss Barbara Burns, was one
Of the guests. Topsy seemed intuitively to
know that there was to be a party, and
during the preparations to leave was rest
less and excited. When her mistress
started out for the festivity she paid no
heed to the command TO stay at home, but
followed.
Twice she was started toward home, and
finally feigned to be obedient. but when
the nurse and Miss Barbara arrived at the
door Of the hostess' house, they were dis
mayed to find that Topsy had preceded
them.
Topsy, ,forgivingly, welcomed them with
wag Of the tall and joyous bark. She
was glad to have them come was deter
mined, however, to be Included herself
The reward for her perseverance, followed
later, when all the assembled little folks
gleefully welcomed her to a share IN the.
birthday games.
Topsy was the belle of the party.
