SNEAD-MAY GO TO
ASYLUM.

NEWARK. n. J.. Jan. 23.--The last
echo OF the mysterious death of Ocey
w. NJ Snead, in an unoccupied house.
In East Orange came here to- day when
her mother, Mrs. Caroline r. Martin,
was sentenced to seven years impris-
onment by Judge Ten ESck. IN the
court OF Oyer and Terminer here. The
aged woman collapsed following SEN
tence and had To be carried back to
her cell. She protested against the
imposition of sentence and created a
scene during the court proceedings
It IS believed that now that sem
tence has been imposed that relatives
of Mrs Martin will apply TO the SUI
preme court To have her sent to an
insane asylum. While the court some
time ago ruled thai she was proba-
bly, sane the proceedings then were not
in by Mrs. Martins at
torneys. 1t IL expected that a COM
mission will be named to examine Mrs.
Martin and If the conclusion OF her
friends are well founded she viii be
sent to the State asylum at Morris
Plains instead Of to the State prison
at Trenton.
AS Judge Ten Eyck gravely con-
Guided the words which carried the
woman's punishment the silence of
the courtroom was broken only by
the accused mothers maj deIense
of her Innocence.
Mrs. Martin had entered the court
room with lahored step and leaning
heavily upon the supporting arm of
Under Sheriff Charles Reilly. She
was gowned in her habitual black
and was heavily yelled, wearing the
nuns hood that has formed char
acteristic part OF her attire. She was
seated beside her counsel, Frank IL.
Sommer and Samuel Kaliseh.
When the lawyers remained I'M
responsive to the courts query, Mrs.
Martin rose tn her feet and addressed
Judge Ten Eyck in clear tones and
ufaltering voice:
Il am absolutely innocent in the
sight OF God" she began. II am as
innocent as Judge Ten Eyck, or Mr.
Mott. / have done nothing TO injure
my daughter: absolutely nothing
