inE woman.

NEW YORK Jan. Especial Tele-
gram.l-rhe story OF the death OF Mrs. Ocey
Wardlow Martin Snead, the Young woman
whose body was found in bare Eas'f
Orange cottage. more than a year ago. IN
"A bath tub partly filled with water, was
partly revealed Yesterday in court Of over
ana Termncr i'm Newark before Judge Ten
Icy ck during the argument Of counsel as
to the sentence TO be imposed on Caroline
Il. Martin. tho girls mother.
Mrs. Martin pleaded "non-vult' TO man
slaughter about week ago. protesting
that while she had plead guilty she had
not meant to.
Samuel Kalisch counsel for Mrs. Martin,
addressed the court today with plea for
mercy.
Mrs Martin" he said. has never made
an admission Of knowing that her act
might lead TO her daughters death, sIsns
in the statement which she made 10 the
prosecutor OF the pleas and which led
him TO accept her plea OF manslaushter
Tells story of Death.
The facts are these: on the day he
fore her death, November IS 1909, Ocey
Snead was very IN. She had refused food
She could not sleep. She sat much OF the
day with her head bowed in her lap. APP
parently only halt-conscious.
Mrs. Martin administered morphine 10
induce sleep. In the womsns weakened
condition her heart action was uuduy af-
fccted. To produce q shock which would
rouse her and overcome the influence Of
the drug she filled the bath tub partly
fun OF cold water and laid the girl in II.
The remedy was not efficacious. The girl
died
Half crazed with horror and grief Mrs
Martin fled from the house and hid herself
in New York. II was not an unnatural
| action in woman OF her highly emotional
temperament"
! Prosecutor A. Mott made a long address,
in explanation Of his willingness to accept
the plea OF manslaughter. At first, he
| said, under the weird circumstances sur
rounding the case. I could not believe
otherwise than a deliberate conspiracy 10
! bring about the poor girls death for the
| sake Of the insurance on her life The
three seemed 20 me like three buz2ards
hanging over a dying dog, waiting for II

Believed wOmRn's story.
But in view of his frequent conversations
with the prisoner and her sisters his
study OF their unhappy family life in ne

which would affect the family's high
standing in their southern home and Mrs.
Martins apparently frank relation to him
OF the circumstances OF the girls death,
he said his view OF the crime had been
changed He could understand the desire
to hide Ocey Snead's infirmity from public
view. lie could understand her desire to
hide after her daughters death He be
lieved her story. Sentence will be imposed
on Monday.
Miss Wardlow, indicted at the same time
as Mrs. Martin starved herself 10 death
! in the prison hospital last summer The
third sister Mrs. Mary Snead, is also under
indictment but 1t is believed the case will

Decided Improvement,
NEW YORK PAPER DRAWS NOTICE

Gotham-CapitaI Renewal
Demands.

NEW YORK. Jan Improvement in
the investment demand from capital went
on ,last week. though in more moderate
degree. and afforded a basis for some
operations i'm stocks The tendency was
most strikingly reflected in the bond de-
partmeut Of the stock exchange itself, the
volume OF dealings swelling to a daily
average seldom equaled IN the last year
Each day brought its announcement OF

Advices from abroad showed an active in
terest in foreign banking circles in the
forthcoming New York City bond issue.
Quotations for the new bonds when is
sued at the stock exchange at pre-
MUM foreshadowed the success OF the
fotaton.
Investment demand was fostered by the
relaxing money market. which was in
fluenced by the heavy refluN Of funds to
New York from interior points. The mer-
camille paper market benefited from the
increasing plenty OF money supplies. thus
correcting one OF the discrepancies IN the
money market which had been drag on
commerce through a period OF apparent
ease. The December foreign trade state
ment showed another discrepancy in course
balance of $50 10000 available for our money
market to draw on. That this was not
awaited OF was explained by the SITTER
money market in London, where the last
year was in contrast to New York. with
an active speculation, an unprecedented
volume of new capital issues and expand
More Cheerful Sentiment.
The course Of the investment market has
/ brought courage to needy seekers for new
capital and has disseminated more cheer
full sentiment in various directions. Further
hearings before the Interstate Commerce
commission on the question of rate in
creases received less attention and the re-
hearing of the antitrust cases before the
supreme court was followed with compare
| lively languid interest.
The fact that current bond sales show a
| rate OF investment return which remains
/ high compared with other periods, initiating
a revival has not impaired the feeling of
| confidence begotten by renewed demand.
! Recognition by borrowers of the necessity
| OF higher price for capital had come to
| be regarded as a necessary preliminary to
| looseninE the deadlock in investment mar
kets signs that the question of price,
| rather than lack Of supply, was at issue in
| enlsting capital come as a relief to appre-
tension
| The tentative measure of monetary re-
| form issued by the head of the monetary
| commission has received abundant atten-
| ton in the financial community, with hopes
| of beneficial results. The compleXity Of the
problem and the many contingencies still
! to meet before final success deprived the
matter of any very active influence in the
! direct movement Of values, The break in
prices in butter and eggs was accepted as
| favorable for the VeXed problem OF high
! cost Of living.

Heart toHeart
Talks.
TO A FATHER.
By EDWIN A. NYR

You say Jimmie is twelve.
Then 1t Is high time, If you have not
already done so, to become Jimmie's
ehum.
II was al. right for his mother to
have charge of him so long as he was
more baby than boy. He could tell
her everything. and she could help him
In everything. She knew where he
was and what he was doing.
1t is different now.
The boy is big enough to be called
James" and secretly he yearns for
long trousers. Unconsciously, maybe,
but surely. he is Juggling to get loose
from his mothers apron strings.
He begins TO be man.
This is your opportunity to get close
to him. Jimmie wants a mate to talk
to and confide in You can be that
mate If you want to be-
Jimmie would rather be your sworn
pal than to take up with any other
person on earth. 1t would please him
nightly.
The danger is this:
He may become either ashamed or
Efraid to contide in you. And if he
Is either he may consult some harum
scarum of the street.
Some fathers. altogether too digni-
fed or stern, proceed on the theory
that the son must recognize the pa
rental authority, and they lay down the
law and punish the least infraction Of
it. They believe that will keep the
boy straight.
1t will doubtless keep him from
gdoing- where it can be found
out.
You see, the danger is that Jimmie,
being afraid of you. may become a
sneak. He will not tell you the truth.
He will deceive you. And Jimmie is
likely to become not only sneak, but
liar.
Also
If Jimmie is ashamed to tell you
about some things he may do things
Of which he ought to be ashamed.
My dear sir. you may so have the
confidence of your son that he will
tell you everything-everything! Moth
Ing is too delicate for father and son
to discuss-if they are chums.
Jimmie must know from some
source the things you know about life.
How much better you should tell him
than some other. Do you want your
boy to face temptations ignorantly or
wrongly instructed?
What are you in the world for any
way?
To make money for Jimmie?
No.
You are in the world to help your
boy make a man of himself--a man as
good as you are or better.
For that are you father.
And if Jimmie fails TO make good
man it will largely be your fault and
your shame. But If he succeeds. Why,
that will be tie joy and triumph Of
your life.
