Physician Identifies Body in Snead Mystery Case
In New Jersey the physician who attended Mrs. Ocey Snead at her baby's birth identified the body at the morgue as hers. The ruling could undermine an insurance theory that a substitute impersonated Snead in an unfurnished house where she was found dead in a half filled bathtub. Handwriting will be examined, but the cause of death awaits the medical officer’s report. Suspects include missing husband Pletcher Snead and Virginia Wardlaw remains jailed.

Rampage case ends with three months at state hospital
Charles Kohl, arrested by Sheriff Benham and Deputy Sherberger, appeared before Judge Jackson on charges of intoxication and was sentenced to three months at the state hospital in Knoxville. Neighbors say he forced his family from their farm home near Pleasant Prairie, driving the father away and causing four children to sleep in a corn crib for several nights. The sheriff found Kohl in bed when they arrived, wearing a coat and boots, and he offered little resistance. Relatives say the spree lasted about a week and involved intimidating behavior toward his family before the officers intervened.
