WILLARD'S FINE FLIGHTS
Goes Seven Miles in Eight Min

Garden City, Long Island, Aug. y (Spe-
ciaD D.-Charles K. Willard again thrilled
the crowd Of spectators this evening by a
flight in his Curtiss biplane over the avia-
ton field here, which was witnessed by
three thousand persons. The wind was not
quite as strong as last night, blowing at
about nineteen miles an hour from the
southwest when Willard went into the air.
After making a circle of the field at one
hundred and fifty feet, Willard started off
and circled the Meadow Brook Club, Motor
Parkway and a number Of the country
places Of the members of that club, which
are in that vicinity. Several of the spec
tators of the fight tried to follow Willard
in auton obiles but they were no match for
the biplane which returned in a little over
eight minutes, after travelling nearly seven
miles.
Willard went into the air again, going
straight away for two miles, then making
a beautiful even keel turn and returning
to the starting place.

STARVATION CAUSED DEATH
Autopsy Performed on Body of
Virginia o. Wardlaw.

1t was established at the autopsy on the
| body of Miss Virginia o. Wardlaw, in
| Holes morgue, Newark. yesterday after
| noon that she had starved herself to death.
Several hours before the autopsy was per-
formed it was announced by the authorities
that her death would not stop the trial of
her sisters Mrs. Caroline B. Martin and
Mrs. Mary w. Snead, who were indicted
jointly with Miss Wardlaw last December
for the murder of Ocey Wardlaw Snead,
the East Orange bathtub victim
The autopsy was performed by County
Physician Mckenzie assisted by Dr. Walter
S. Washington. DR.. Harrison S. MARYLAND,
pathologist at the Newark City Hospital.
and Jail Physician Oswald H. Roth
While starvation was essentially the cause
Of death, it was ascertained that the wom-
an suffered from congestion of the lungs
and number Of other maladies. Samples
Of the stomach were taken for the pur-
poses Of analysis, which DR.. Mckenzie may
make.
Louis Hood. who is associated with Prose
cutor Mott in the conduct of the states
case, is the authority for the statement
that the death of Miss Wardlaw will not
operate to stop the trial of the other two
sisters
Denial was entered by Chauncey H. Beas-
ley, who is also counsel for Mrs. Snead and
Mrs. Martin, that they had induced Miss
Wardlaw to starve herself to death. He ad-
mltted that he believed that Miss Wardlaw
had succumbed to self-imposed starvation.
but averred that the woman had absolutely
refused to say that her course was the re-
suit OF her sisters urgings. Miss Wardlaw
would tell nothing that would in any way
involve her sisters

that the trial will be delayed further. un-
