The three million Poles who have

abouts.
1t has been ascertained that the wo,
men have been in desperate financial
condition for several years and have
borrowed money from many wealthy
persons, giving their notes as secur-
ity. AS a strong moment of suspic-
ion is considered the fact that the life
of the victim of the bathtub tragedy
was insured in ten companies for an
aggregate of $4,000. The insurance
companies at first suspected that the
body of the young woman in the bath
tub was not that of Ocey Snead but
the body was positively identified by
several persons, among them by the
doctor who had treated Ocey Snead
when her baby, which died about a
year ago, was born. Another strange
feature is the fact that six or seven
wills, purporting to have been signed
by Ocey Snead, makes her aunt and
some other relatives the beneficiaries.
Notwithstanding their poverty the
three accused women have been able
to obtain most able counsel. Miss Vir-
ginia Wardlaw will be defended by
Mr.. Franklin W. Fort, the son of Gov
ernor Fort; Mrs. Martin by Mr.. Chand-
Ter w. Riker, former prosecutor of
Essex county, and Mrs. Snead by
Messrs Samuel and Abner Kalisch.
Many Influential men are interested in
the case and have offered financial as
sistance to the three women accused
of murder

report careful investigation was be
gun by the police authorities.
1t was learned that the victim O.
the tragedy and her aunt, Mrs. Vir
ginia Wardlaw, had moved into the
house on West Fourteenth street ter
days before the finding of the body
They had no furniture excepting cot
and soap box, which served as a
table. The two women had no money
and had subSiSted on milk, biscuits
and a few oranges. The investigation
was continued and an amazing mass
of material was brought to light 1t
appeared that the three women in
dicted for the murder of Ocey Snead
were near relatives of the victim.
The aunt of the dead woman, Miss
Virginia Wardlaw, comes from a well
connected southern family and at one
time was president of Soule College,
at Murfreesboro, Tenn, and later a
member of the faculty of Roanoke Col
lege, Salem, Va. The exact circum-
stances which led to the decline of
the family fortunes are not known,
but it seems that Miss Virginia Ward
law, accompanied by Mrs. Caroline B.
w. Martin, the mother of Ocey, and
Mrs. Mary w. Snead, mother of Ocey
Snead's husband, Fletcher w. Snead,
came to New York some years ago,
probably in the hope of recovering
