ASYLUM FOR
MRS. MARTIN
Mother Of 0cey Snead, the
Bathtub Victim.

Trenton, N. j., May 24.-An order
was issued for the transfer to the state
asylum Of Mrs. Caroline B. Martin,
mother Of Ocey Snead, the victim Of
the East Orange bathtub mystery, who
was declared guilty Of completely In
the death Of her daughter. The woman
was found guilty Of granddaughter and
sentenced to tho Trenton prison for
seven years.
The bathtub mystery was one Of the
most remarkable criminal cases that
ever baf1ed the police Of two states.
Heavy insurance policies were taken
out on the life of Ocey SDsad, and at
a time when the money for tho pre-
miums that were shortly to fall due
was not forthcoming. tho young woman
was found dead In a bathtub In a half
furnished house in East Orange.
Death Reported Suicide.
The death was reported as a suicide.
An Investigation was begun, and after
many weeks Of weary work, evidence
was discovered showing that tho three
elderly women with whom Miss Snead
lived had c~onspirsd to bring about her
death. The Jersey authorities alleged
that Ocey snead had been starved until
she was too weak to resist and then
drowned Tn the bathtub.
Mrs. Martins sister, Mrs. Mary w.
Snead, who was at first accused of
completely in the death Of Ocey Snead
and subsequently released from Gus
tody, WAS requested by Mr.. Stryker to
attend the insanity hearing. She did
not put In an appearance, however.
Question Of Expense.
The only question involved was
whether the state or the county should
be charged with the maintenance Of
Mrs. Martin at the hospital. County
Counsel Benjamin F. Jones of Essex,
sent a letter to Judge Gnichtel, In leu
Of a personal appearance, stating that
his Inquiries had convinced him that
Mrs. Martin had no legal settlement In
Essex, and that, therefore, she should
be committed as a state patient, In

From Battlefield to White House

have spoken of Zachary Taylor among the Presi-
dents who have owed their White House tenures to
their war records. Taylor not only had never had
any civil experience, but he had never even voted
prior to becoming President This was due to his
having been in the regular army since he had been
of voting age. His nomination, which Webster de-
elared was one unfit to be made, caused the angry
Senator from Massachusetts, to characterize him as
'mere rough frontier soldier" caused Henry Clay
to sulk in his tent led to Clay being defeated for
President and to the death of the Whig party.
The war between the States made General Grant
President, and aided materially in making Presidents
of Johnson, Hayes, Garfield, Arthur, Harrison and
Mckinley. 1t also gave Presidential nominations to
Mcclellan and Hancock, and did much toward
making Frank P. Blair and B. Gratz Brown Vice
Presidential nominees. Grant had never held civil
office prior to being President had, indeed, never

The Betrayal of Henry Clay

General Harrison had served in both Houses of
Congress- had been Governor of the Northwest Ter
ritory, and Minister to one of the South American
States and when elected to the Presidency was serv
ing in the humble position of County Clerk; but his
victories at Tippecanoe and the Thames were what
gave him the nomination and sent him to the White
House.
Harrison's nomination in 1889 made Henry Clay
beside himself with rage. When the news reached
the great Kentuckian in Washington, he rose from
his chair and walking rapidly up and down the room,
lifting his feet like horse string halted in both legs,
he stamped upon the floor, excaiming: "My friends
are not worth the powder and shot it would take to
kill them If there were two Henry Clays, one of
them would make the other President of the United

think it proper for Christian papers to be
attacking the Christian church, even though
that Christian Church may be widely at vari-
ance with other denominations on many
points and may be very much at fault. There
is nothing perfect IN this world, not even our

Senator Bradley has certainly been

ment that he made few days ago:
81 did not believe that Mr.. Roosevelt
had any chance for the Presidential
nomination before his Columbus
speech. Since then l feel perfectly
sure that his candidacy will amount to
nothing. HIS reputation of his prom
Use, made November s, 1904, that under
no circumstances would he be candi-
date for or accept another nomination,
followed by his statement of December
IL. 1907, that he had not changed and
would not change the decision, convicts
him of insincerity, for which the Amer
lean people will hold him responsible. .

One of the largest land deals ever
consummated in the mountains of Ken
lucky for some time was made a few
days ago when Mr. Robert L. Thomas
and the heirs of the late William R.
Thomas, who, for many years, have
operated the Ford Lumber Mills in
Clark county, sold to an Eastern syndi-
cate %, 900 acres of valuable coal and
timber lands in jackson and adjoining
counties for approximately S479, OOO
The syndicate will cut the timber and
develop the coal fields which are con-
sidered among the richest of Eastern
Kentucky. Mrs. John T. Ireland. of
Winchester, and Mrs. Thomas E.
Moore, of Paris, two of the heirs of the
late Captain James NJ. Thomas, OF
Paris, two or three years ago sold their
one-half interest in the lands to w. r.
Thomas and Robert L. Thomas for
