MARTIN TRIAL
ENDS SUDDENLY
Woman in Snead Murder Case
Guilty Of Involuntary
M-nSlauGhter
BUT THE JERSEY MYSTERY
HAS NOT YET BEEN SOLVED

BY United Press Leased Special Wire.
NEWARK, y. j., Jan. s-The trial
of Mrs. Caroline B. Martin, jointly in
dicted with her sister, Mrs. Mary W.
Snead. for the murder of Ocey W. NJ.
Snead. in East Orange. more than a
wear ago. came to a sudden end to-
day when Mrs. Martin entered plea
of non vult or guilty of involuntary
manslaughter. This disposed of the
most mysterious case in New Jersey
criminal annals but the mystery sur
rounding Ocey Snead's dealt remains
unsolved. She was the daughter of
Mrs. Martin and following the dis
covery of her dead body in a bathtuh
in a meagrely furnished house in East
Orange in November, 1909, her moth
er. Mrs. Martin, and her aunts, Mrs
Virginia Wardlaw and Mrs. Mary
Snead. were arrested, charged with
having poisoned her for the insurance
she carried on her life.
This they denied. and the autopsy
showed that Mrs. Snead had died OF
starvation. but whether she had alsC
been poisoned has never been reveal.
ed. Miss Wardlaw died in Jail await.
ing trial, and relatives of Mrs. Martin
raised the question Of her sanity
which was disposed Of by the court
some weeks ago ruling that she wa:
sane. Il has been the contention o.
the prosecution that Miss Wardlav
and Mrs. Snead were under the con
troll of Mrs. Martin and that they were
hardly to blame for the death of Ocey
Snead. Because of this fact and the
acceptance Of the plea in the Martin
case it is likely that the indictment II
the case against Mrs. Mary Snead vii
be quashed.

are in favor of the plan and would be
willing to bear their share Of the cost ;

on the ground that the city should
bear the cost. The traction company
agreed to erect the standards, similar
to the one now In front of its Office, at
