Eastern Carolina News, Kenansville, N.C., August 17, 1910

Harrassed to Death

Newark, N.J., Special—The prosecution of Mrs. Carolina B. Martin and Mrs. Mary Snead will not be interfered with in any way by the death of Virginia Wardlaw, the third sister indicted in connection with the mysterious death of Ocey W.M. Snead, the East Orange bath tub victim. This statement was made by Louis Hood, special council for the state in the Wardlaw case.

An autopsy performed showed conclusively that Miss Wardlaw had died of starvation. She will be buried in a cemetery near here beside Ocey Snead.
