It IL very doubtful II Mrs. Caroline

are placed on trial for the murder of
Ocey w. M. Snead In Judge Ten Eyck's
court next Monday morning.
This admission was made by Prose-

conference In Chief Justine William S.

at the conference were Judge Jay Ten
Eyck, Prosecutor Mott, Louis Hood,
his special assistant; Frank H. Som
mer. appointed by the court to defend
Mrs. Martin, and Samuel Kalisch, coun-
sci for Mrs. Snead.
At Its conclusion Prosecutor Mott ad-
mitted that there would probably be
further delay in the case. lowing to
the many matters that have come up
during the past week"
On Thursday ounse for both the
State and the defense spent the entire
court day in consultation in an effort
to devise a plea that would result in
the settlement of the case without a
long drawn-out trial.
Mrs. Martin blocked this by refusing
to plead non vu1t unless under con-
ditions imposed by herself that the
county prosecutor could not agree to.
A determined effort was made by
Messrs. Sommer and Kalisch to have
Mrs. Martin plead non vult and be
committed to an institution. She re-
fused unless the plea carried the open
court announcement that by so plead
ing she in no ann admitted having
knowledge of the in which her
daughter, Ocey W. M. Snead, came to

Mott is believed to result from the

Suspicion and Discord.

Every one was nasty the next morn

feet were frost-bitten and kept Bella
rubbing them with fee water all morn

fused to speak to any of US, and he
watched Bella furtively, as If he sus-
pected her of trying to get him out Of
the house.
When luncheon time came around
and he had shown no indication Of go
ing 20 the telephone and ordering it.,
we had a conclave, and Max was
chosen to remind him of the hour
Jim was shut in the studio, and we
waited together in the hall while
Max went up. When he came down
he was somewhat ruffed
He wouldn't open the door," he
reported, "and when l told him it
was meal time, he said he wasn't hun
CRY, and he didn't give whoop about
the rest of US. He had asked us here
to dinner; he hadn't proposed to
adopt us"
So we finally ordered luncheon our
selves, and about two o'clock Jim
came downstairs, sheepishly, and ate
what was left. Anne declared that
Bella had been scolding him in the
upper hall, but doubted it. She was
never seen to speak to him unneces-
sarily.
