GIRL SAVES
HER SISTERS
BY STARVING
Newark, N. J., Aug. 12.—While there
la no question that MI99 Virginia O.
Wardlaw, one of the three sisters In
dicted for the murder, of Ocey W. M.
Snead In East Orange, N. J., died oi
starvation In the house of detention
here, there Is difference of opinion to
day as to whether the accused woman
refused food with the grim determlna
tion to slowly end her life In the tor
ment of famine to save her sisters or
was unable to ent. Her death will
make it impossible to convict the other
two women.
Whether the starvation was self In
flicted or was due to her inability to
eat Is a question. Dr. Roth Intimated
that the patient might have eUten
nourishing food some days ago If she
had wished to, but that eating would
have been Impossible for her during
the last day or so. Warden McGuln
ness and other jail officials said that
the prisoner would have taken food If
she had been ajale to. Others who are
in a position to know say that the
woman was deliberately trying to end
her life by starvation.
Miss Wardlaw had taken little food
for two weeks. Substantial food is
served in the county Jail, and when
she did not eat her portion food was
sent from the table of the warden and
matron. Delicacies of various ki:.de
were prepared for her, but Miss Ward
law ate less and less each day until «
week ago she took but little nourish
ment. Since then she has told the war
den that she could not eat and if she
did eat the food would not stay on her
stomach.
After a consultation with Dr. Roth
the warden bought some buttermilk
for the prisoner and for a day or two
she drank some of It. Then she lost
her liking for it, and recently she had
nothing In fhe way of nourishment ex
cept that which had been artificially
administered. Dr. Roth said that Id
his recent examinations he found
many, If not all, of the symptoms that
usually accompany starvation.
At the bedside of the woman when
she died were Mrs. Richard B. Spindle
of Chrlstenburg, Va., a sister of Miss
Wardlaw; the Rev. A. G. Wardlaw
her brother; Chauncey H. Beasley, hei
counsel and two nurses.
An effort was made by the Jail offl
cials to have Mrs. Caroline B. Martin
and Mrs. Mary W. Snead, the twc
other sisters, who are locked up at thf
county Jail across the street, at the
bedside when the end came. They
called up Deputy Sheriff Rellly at the
courthouse to get permission, but he
would not approve unless the jail peo
pie got the consent of the doctor.
The doctors had left several minute!
before and the Jail authorities could
not find them. In consequence the twc
sisters had to remain in their cells
while their sister died In a building
Just across the street.
It is extremely doubtful whether
Mrs. Martin or Mrs. Snead will ever
be brought to trial. It Is the expecta
tion here that the case will be nolle
prossed. The prosecution's case cen
tered In Miss Wardlaw by reason ol
her having been with Ocey Snead ir
the East Orange house during her last
days. It was Miss Wardlaw who took
Ocey Snead to East Orange from J>ew
York. She rented the house and wat
In it when Ocey Snead's death came tc
the attention of the authorities. She
told the police of the death.
