New Jersey supreme court in this city

had the strongest case against Miss
Virginia o. Wardlaw and it was rum
ored that owing to the death of Miss
Wardlaw the prosecution would prob
ably abandon the case against the two
other defendants, but this supposition
proved to have been wrong. The
prosecution, though foiled in convict
ing Miss Wardlaw, showed no dispo-
sition to give up the case against the
two other defendants and there is ev-
cry reason to believe that they will be
given speedy trial.
Mrs. Ocey Snead was found dead in
