The Snell Murder.
CHICAGO, Oct. 14.-A. J. Stone, son-in-law of the murdered millionaire, A. J. Snell, has this to say in regard to the story from Baltimore of Mrs. Ordway to the effect that her late husband was concerned in the murder, and that W. B. Tanicott, the supposed murderer, was strangled to death by his pals: "False is the first time that the name of A. Ordway has been mentioned in connection with the case. I knew him quite well and was surprised when I learned of his death. The worst thing I ever heard of him was that he was addicted to drink. Perhaps if I knew something of the woman's character and reputation for veracity I might consider the matter, but as the story now stands unsubstantiated, I would say it was false and without foundation." Mr. Ordway, father of Albert K., said that his son married a Mrs. Beekman. Soon after the marriage they went to Baltimore. He refused to say anything about the death of his son farther than it occurred in Baltimore. None of the family went there to attend the funeral.
