MARTIN CASE TO
REACH JURYTDDAY
Defendant Gives His Explana
tion of Circumstantial
Facts Against Him.
RESTIVE WHILE ON STAND
Opposing; Counsel Will Reaume Ar
guments This Morning and Ver
dict Will Probably Require
Honrs of Deliberation.
E1rd H. Martin- tate will he placed
In the hands of the Jury today. Final ar
guments are now undt-r way and before
nlirht the 12 Jurora will have to retire and
wrestle with one of the most profound
murder mysteries ever put before a Jury
in Portland.
With rlnumstantial evidence tending to
show thai Martin did murder Nathan
Wolff, and many stron circumstances
tending to show that he did not. the jury
tias a most Intricate task ahead. An early
verdl-t Is expected by neither the state
nor Martin a counsel. There is little d ubt
but that hours of earnest effort will be
required of the Jurors. They will have to
weieh each little bit of evidence and Judge
as to lis relative Importance. They will
"have to consider the -redlbillty of the
various wltnesnes. And when they have
thoroughly gnne into all sides of the com
plex prohlem. then they must decide
whether there is a reasonable doubt as to
Martin's iruilt.
Declares Guilt 19 Iroven.
"He is ullty as hades, the evidence
has clearly allowed as much and I can-t
well see how the Jury can do otherwise
than convict him." aaid Deputy District
Attorney FitiKersld. when the atate had
rested Its case after rebuttal, yesterday
afternoon.
. "The Jury will not convict an Innocent
man of such a crime when the element of
douht Is so ajreat as In this case." said
Mr. Jeffrey, of Martin's counsel.
It la very doubtful If the Jury will be
able to reach any decision at all In view
of the cwifllctlns; circumstances adduced
by state and defense, say disinterested
persona who have been 'following; the case
closely. That the Jury win disagree is
believed particularly by lawyers and po
lice officers who have been in attendance
on the trial.
Martin had the stand In his own behalf
nearlv all yesterday morning. He was
the final witness for the defense. Up to
the last moment ther had been grave
douht as to the advisability of putting
him on the stand and subjecting him to
the menace of vigorous cross-examination.
But he was called by Attorney Fonts,
very shortly after the opening of the
morning session.
Explanation for Every Point.
One by one Martin answered the circum
stances that have been brought up to
connect him with the Titdeous crime. He
had an explanation for every phase of the
prosecution, Certain of his explanations
wer inconsistent, without being Improb
able, however. In some few minor detail
lie. contradicted himself.
Martin grew dramatic at time. From
the beginning It was a struggle for aelf
control. Plainly, he tried hard to appear
and feel entirely at ease. But his thor
oughly composed and easy manner of the
prist few days waa gone. On cross-examination
he grew particularly restive
and moved back and forth in his seat,
twisting his features Into frequent grim
aces of nervous distress, shuffling his
feet and twisting his hands.
Where waa he on the night of the
murder?
In Barn Night of Crime.
This question Martin had never an
swered hefore satisfactorily. As It was
put to him by Mr. Jeffrey, he settled back
In his chair and proceeded with great de
liberation to say that early in the day he
was about town drinking. He was taking
morphine and cocaine In liberal quantities.
At about S:n P. M. he boarded an "S"
car for his home In Sellwood. Reaching
Ma home he found the door locked, his
wife being away and he went Into the
barn and lay on a pile of straw to sleep
off the effects of drugs and liquor and
await the return of his wife. He slept
thus until nearly It o'clock. On awaken
ing he went to the house and found Mrs.
Martin had returned. She let him in and
later he retired. He said she demanded
to know of him how he came by the
marks on his face and he told her that
ha had been fighting over a game of
card. In the meantime Wolff had been
murdered.
Martin fell away from his previous story
That a cat scratched his face and a
hatchet marked his head. These marks
he acquired the night before the murder.
- he said. In a disreputable house in the
North Knd. That as the reason he told
the story of the cat scratches to prevent
Mrs. Martin finding out what kind of a
reprobate he had become. He didn't
know what house it was but knew it was
west of Erickson's saloon on Furnside
street, where he had been drinking.
Admit Horrowing Revolver.
As to the gun. the one Mrs. (trubb said
he borrowed from her the afternoon of
th murder. Martin unexpectedly admit
ted having borrowed it. When arrested
he said be didn't know the woman. But
row ha protested he would tell the whole
truth, lie cot tlia gun. he said, with the
Idea of selling It. He wanted to get all
the money he could together to give his
wife so that she would not discover he
was out of work. He shM he expected an
appointment as city ealr of weights
and measures the first of the month and
was anxious to keep up appearances with
Mrs. Martin until that time.
The coat he had when arrested and said
to be Wolffs was his own. Martin saJd.
He bought It from a Jew peddler In front
of the Portland Hotel about four months
preview to his arrest. This story he told
the police when he was first arrested. As
to the other coat the one found smeared
with blood in South Portland, he per
sisted that It had never belonged to him.
H had owned some such coat hut it was
I ghter In color. It had been given away
by his wife to some peddler.
Max Prey lied. Martin said. whcn ' he
testified that three shirts were purchajed.
"I bought but. one shirt from Drey and
that one I had on when I was arrested.
I paid Drey JO cents for It." the witness
awore.
Dornt Remember Having (;knci.
As to the gloves, ha had owned many
pairs of Ient s gloves. He said he didn't
remember having any such gloves In his
ultras at the Belvedere, although a pair
of hi gloves might bare been In the case.
Going briefly over his life he told of his
graduation from the public schools of
0 New Tork. from FOrdham I'nlversity.
from a school of law in New York, and
from West Point. He said he was in
Oiba but narration of hi services in the
.Army waa eliminated at suggestion of Mr.
Vltsgerald. who said he couldn't see that
Martin service In Cuba had anything to
do with the Nathan Wolff murder. Mar
at aaid b waa M J ears old and bad Uvad
in Portland for about three years. He
came here and took up the study of medi
cine at the medlcail department of the
University of Oregon but shortly left that
school on account of financial embarrass
ment, he said.
Martin's dealings with lira. Grubb were
gone Into in great detail, as this 1 one
of the state s most striking circumstances.
He visited Mrs. Grubb at her home on
Pennoyer street and waa examining the
gun when the idea occurred to him that
he would like to ossess It. he said, in
order to realize on it and swell his fund
with which he intended to deceive Mrs.
Martin Into believing he was still at work.
He spoke to Mrs. Grubb about wanting
the gun to protect himself from the
hobos who were hanging about Sellwood
and said he may have told her he wanted
to engage in target practice. He was
quite aure he did not tell her tt was a
good revolver, as she testified, because
he saw the gun was no good. Taking it
down to the Plaxa block he sat on a
bench to enjoy the fresh air. The gun
dropped from his pocket and was seen by
a man sitting nearby.
"I took occasion to explain to him
that I brought It down town
to sell." Martin testified. "and
when he asked how much I
wanted for it. I told him $3
would buy the gun. He offered me
$1.50 and I told him the gun was his.
He paid me that amount."
Martin Becomes Very Xenons.
This was the afternoon of the mur
der. ' Martin was on ticklish ground,
and when questioned by Mr. Fitzgerald
became very nervous and made his
replies In a loud tone, growing dem
onstrative at several points. In the
main he kept to his story', although
contradicting himself in a few unim
portant details.
Mrs. Martin was not in court while
her husband was telling his story.
District Attorney Cameron essayed to
make capital of that fact during his
opening arguments for conviction,
early in the afternoon. Reply was
made by Mr. Fonts that it was desired
to keep her from learning of Martin's
Infidelity and his visitations to the
badlands of North Portland.
".Mrs. Martin, no doubt, remained
away of her own accord, so that she
might be spared the pain of Jiearing
her husband perjure himself In trylnR
to avoid the circumstances that point
to his guilt." said Mr. Cameron.
"She was asked to remain away in
order that she might be spared hear
ing a confession a million times more
horrible to her than that of a murder,"
responded Mr. Fouts.
Wife Attends in Afternoon.
If Martin really did wish to keep
word of such disgusting conduct from
his wife, then that purpose miscarried
For she was in court at the afternoon
session and heard what was said by
the lawyers. She showed no evidences
of being deeply moved at the revela
tion of this misconduct on the part of
her husband.
Martin was on the stand all morn
ing. The defense had several more
witnesses in view to testify as regards
the impossibility of identifying gloves
and raincoats as coming from a par
ticular store. But It was decided dur
ing the noon hour by Messrs. Jeffrey
and Fouts that sufficient expert testi
mony along thia ltne had already been
put before the Jury. So when court
reconvened at 2 P. M. the defense
rested.
Rebuttal testimony by the state had
one Important defect that of largely
discrediting the testimony of Alfred
Balden, an Important witness In Mar
tin's favor. Balden told the preced
ing day of having seen two men leave,
Wolffs store on the night of the mur
der, between 6:30 and 7 o'clock. He
was sure of the time because he was
on his way to visit Irene Frey, a do
mestic working In Ixwer Alblna. The
state had Miss Krey on hand and she
said that Baldin. traveling under an
assumed name, called on her not later
than 6 P. M. and remained there not
longer than ten minutes. This directly
contradicted his story that ho left her
at P. M. She said it was not yet
dark when Balden left.
lietectlve Coleman was questioned
about the recent arrest of Balden on a
charge of vagrancy. The officer said
he did not know Balden was a wltnesa
when the arrest was made and denied
the insinuation made by Martin's law
yers that an attempt had been made to
intimidate the youth.
Cameron Opens for State.
Mr. Cameron proceeded to open for
the state. He went over the evidence
of both sides in great detail, pointing
out the Inconsistencies In some of the
points of the defense and especially
in the story told by Martin. He gave
the opinion that Baldtn perjured him
self and that Walby. the logger who
told of having seen Martin's face cut
the night before the murder, was
either mistaken as to time or else was
lying. Describing the murder of Wolff
by Martin from the basis of deductions
made on minute investigation, Mr.
Cameron said:
"Wolff was leaning over a tray of
Jewelry behind his counter when he
was shot. Wolff went for an ax. not
being; fatally wounded. As be returned
with this ax Martin took a rifle from
a case and parried a blow which nev
ertheless inflicted a scalp wound and
broke the handle of the ax."
He said that the Identification of
Wolff's coat as the one found on Mar
tin ought to be sufficient to convince
any man. Taking the shirt found in
North Portland and the collar found
In Wolffs pawnshop after the tragedy.
Mr. Cameron held them up and called
attention to the fart that the blood
stains are on the fore parts of both
articles and that the collar fits the
shirt exactly.
Woman Friend of Martin's.
"As to this Mrs. Grubb." he said,
"she has been a triend of Martin's,
she has tried to help him break away
from the drug habit. It is not likely
that she would come into this court
and perjure herself.
"Now as to this eraveneye. There
is no doubt It did not belong to Mar
tin, as has been asserted here. Why
didn't hs put it on In tha presence of
this Jury and let them see that it waa
too large for htm. And why didn't he
put on that other coat the one cov
ered with blood and let this Jury see
that it fits him exactly.
"I have no douht that Kdward Mar
tin acquitted himself with credit at
West Point." said Mr. Cameron in con
clusion. "But the man who was at
West Point Is not the one we are deal
ing with. This man is the murderer
of Nathan Wolff."
Foutit Speaks in Reply.
Mr. Fouts opened for Martin. He
spoke eloquently in his client's behalf.
Going over the state's evidence, he
said It was absurd to believe that a
man of Martin's Intelligence would be
about the street with WolfTs effects If
he had murdered the man. "The big
gest fool in the world wouldn't have
done that." said Mr. Fouts. "and Mar
tin's anything but a fool.
"As to this man Drey, the state puts
him forth as an unprejudiced witness.
Did he not come all the way from Chi
cago to testify in this case? He cama
here because oxie of his own kind.
Wolff, a fellow Shylock had been mur
dered. He wanted to set an example
by convicting someone, else there
might be an epidemic of murdering
Jew peddlers like occurred in Chicaga
a few years ago."
Arrival of 6 P. M.1 made adjournment
for the day necessary at this Juncture.
Mr. Fouts will continue his argument
this morning, after which Mr. Fitxger
ald will close for the state and Mr.
Jeffrey for Martin. Tha case should

TURN HALLE CASE
GDMES TO NAUGHT
Arresting Officer Fails to Offer
Evidence Proving Any Vi
olation of Law.
TEST OF NEW ORDINANCE
Suit Was Brought Under "Women
In Saloons' Measure, but Patrol
man's Fiasco Brings Instruct
ed Verdict of Not Guilty.
The first test case of the new city ordi
nance prohibiting women from entering
saloons came to naught, as far as the en
forcement of the ordinance is concerned,
when a Jury in the Municipal Court yes
terday afternoon rendered a verdict of
not guilty, under instructions from Judge
Van Zante, who stated that the conten
tions o? the arresting officer. Patrolman
G. W. Fuller, had not been established.
In fact the officer failed to substan
tiate a single allegation made by hira to
show that his action in arresting Charles
Klrchner. one of the proprietors of the
Turn Halle Cafe, anc five women patrons
was warranted. H fell down flat in
presenting his case, and Deputy City At
torney Sullivan became disgusted at the
showing made by the police, and refused
to offer any objection to the request en
tered by Kirchner's attorneys, John F.
Logan and James Gleason, that the court
Instruct the jury to bring in a verdict for
the defendants.
The case is one that has attracted
much attention throughout the city, for
It was the first affair of the kind where
in the new ordinance, passed about two
weeks ago by the City Council prohibit
ing women to frequent saloons, was ac
tually tested. This suit cannot be said to
stand as a good test of the ordinance for
the reason that the police officer making
the arrest failed to establish a case. De
spite the failure to convict in this in
stance the police will not relax their vigi
lance. Officer Makes Queer Deduction.
Yesterday Patrolman Fuller, without
any supporting evidence beside his own
testimony said that he entered the Turn
Halle Cafe and seeing signs reading. "No
Minors Allowed in This Saloon," imme
diately concluded that it came under the
ordinance regulating women in drinking
shops. Just why he thought the signs In
dicated women patrons was a bit of
Sherlock Holmes deduction he failed to
explain In a satisfactory manner. Several
of the women arrested with Mr. Klrchner
were matrons of middle age. and when
cross-queBtloned on this point by Mr.
Logan. Fuller was completely rattled.
He did not seem' to recollect either
whether he made the arrest on the au
thority of the Chief or upon his own Ini
tiative, and when it came to relating the
circumstances of the arrest he failed ut
terly to give any grounds that would war
rant such a procedure.
Deputy City Attorney Sullivan remarked
that it was impossible for him to dig up
propel evidence in all cases where ar
rests are made by the police, and ex
plained that such a course was not In his
line of business.
Patrolman Fuller then asked that a wit
nesa be called. When placed on the stand
this witness testified that he hid not
been In the Turn Halle for two months,
but when he was there last he had wit
nessed the serving of drinks to women
without anything to eat accompanying
the liquors.
Moral Squad Not Around.
Attorney Logan then requested the offi
cer again to take the stand, and asked
him whether he had made the arrest
under the specifications of tha newly
passed ordinance or "just for fun." Fuller
replied that he had acted under the pro
visions of the ordinance, whereupon Mr.
Ixgan moved for a dismissal, on the
ground that the testimony Introduced by
the prosecution was irrelevant and imnia- i
teriai.
Deputy City Attorney Sullivan requested
that Sergeant Kay, Acting Detective
Smith and other members cf the purity
squad be summoned, and when it was
learned that these men were not at hand,
he promptly announced that he did not
Intend to produce evidence to get convic
tions In police cases unless he was ren
dered some assistance by the police them
selves. Attorney Logan in his addresa stated
that the complaining officer had offered
no evidence to support his allegation that
the place was disobeying the law. Then
he reviewed the character of his clients
and spoke of the reptitation of the place
they conducted, concluding by a motion
for an Instructed verdict of not guilty.
Deputy City Attorney Sullivan offered no
objection, because of his Inability to in
troduce further evidence on behalf of the
police, and Judge Van Zante 'so instructed
the jurors. The Jury, which was com- ''
posed of J. G. Mack, E. A. Lynds. J. J.
Rutherford and C. E. Mays, then signed
a verdict of acquittal without further
questioning.
Censure for Patrolman.
Deputy City Attorney Sullivan, after the
adjournment of court, stated that he dfa
not believe the city would appeal from the
verdict in the present Jnstance, for he

This woman says she was saved
from an operation by Lij-dia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
Lena V. Henrr, of Koi-ristown, Ga.,
writes to Mrs. fonkham:
" I Buffered untold misery from fe
male troubles. My doctor said an opera
tion was the only chance I had, and I
dreaded it almost as much as death.
" One day I read how other women
had been cured by Lydia K. Pinkham's

try it. Before I had taken th first
bottle I was better, and now I am en
tirely cured.
" Every woman suffering' with any
female trouble should take Lydia E.

FACTS FOR SICK WOMEN.
For thirty years Lydia E. Pink
ham's Vegetable Compound, made
from roots and herbs, has been the
standard remedy for female ills,
and has positively cured thousands of
women who have been troubled with
displacements, inflammation, ulcera
tion, fibroid tumors, irregularities,
periodic pains, backache, that bearing-down

seemed satisfied that insufficient evidence
had been secured on which to base an
arrest under the provisions of the ordi
nance. However, both ha and the police
officials, while they would not state the
nature of procedure, intimated that the
present case does not dispose of the ordi
nance by any means and that a close sur
veillance of the saloons operating in the
manner of the Turn Hille would be kept,
and if necessary, further arrests would be
made.
Both the Deputy City Attorney and the
police are Inclined to believe that had
Patrolman Fuller acted less hastily in the
matter, and taken the trouble to consult
hlB captain or the Chief before entering
Turn Halle, the chances of galng a con
viction would have been greatly en
hanced. He is a new man on the force,
however, and acted entirely upon his own
initiative in the case.
GIG ITALIANS TO COAST
COMMISSIONERS ARE XAMKD
FOR SEATTLE PAIR.
M. G. Montrezza and G. Memrao Ex
pect Many of Their Countrymen
WITI Remain In Northwest.
To secure the co-operation of the
Italian government in the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific
exposition and to secure
heavier Immigration of their country
men to the Pacific Coast, M. G. Mont
rezza and G. Memmo have been .ap
pointed honorary commissioners by the
1909 fair management. They visited
Portland yesterday and will begin their
work in behalf of the Pacific. North
west Immediately.
"Mr. Memmo will go to Italy early
next month to arrange with Italian
business firms and manufacturers to
send out exhibits to the Seattle expo
sition and to have his countrymen visit
the fair and the Pacific Coast states in
large numbers. It is the intention of
the commissioners to bring about the
settlement of many Italians in this
part of the country.
"The Lewis and Clark Fair brought
many of our countrymen to this Btate,"
said Mr. Memmo. "and as a result of
their coming, many settled here and
are now doing well. Wa will send out
literature that will bring many more
out to the Seattle fair, and we believe
the whole Pacific Northwest will bene
fit by their coming.
"We will let our people know of the
country out here, and we will also en
deavor to have the Italian government
participate officially In the exposition."
Mr Memmo has been connected with
the Italian Herald, New York, for some
time past and is in close touch with
numbers of his countrymen In the East
who are looking for more favored lo
calities in which to settle. Mr. Mont
rezza was formerly consdlar represen
tative of 'the Italian government in
Colorado and. like Mr. Memmo. has
traveled extensively throughout the
country. Both spoke enthusiastically
of the coming exposition, saying its
prospects for success are very bright.
There Will Be $1,000,000 Worth of Wool
Scoured at Gordon Falls in 1909
GORDON FALLS 10-YEAR GOLD BONDS 50 SHARES OF STOCK FREE
PAY 6 PER CENT INTEREST WITH EACH $100 BOND
This stock will share in the profits of the various company enterprises, comprising
WOOLEN AND WORSTED MILLS AND EXCELSIOR FACTORY AT GOR
DON FALLS
Measured by the profits of New England textile mills, these shares should pay 10 to 22 per cent, in addi
tion to the 6 per cent carried by the bonds. Every share entitles the holder to a vote in the selection of offi
cers of the company, and
WILL SHARE IN THE DIVISION OF PROFITS WHEN THE TOWNSITE
LOTS ARE SOLD
This sale will take olace as soon as practicable after the retirement of the bonds, and will amount, we are
confident, to hundreds of thousands of dollars. There are 840 acres of land in the townsite and two powerful
waterfalls. To this will be added the value of Electric Power Plants, Mills, Factories, Hotels and Homes t
be Erected by the company, and for which this $150,000 issue of bonds are sold.
THE SECURITY FOR THE BONDS IS THE TOWNSITE ITSELF, AND
EVERY DOLLAR RECEIVED FROM THE SALE. OF
BONDS WILL BE USED TO IMPROVE IT
A first mortgage on everything the company owns or will own at Gordon Palls will back up these bonds.
And, as stated, every dollar received from their sale will be planted in. the town in the shape of Woolen and
Worsted Mills, an Hotel, residences fot employes, Store Buildings, etc.
SHARES IN NEW ENGLAND TEXTILE MILLS SELL AT FROM $100 TO
$1800 EACH
As the power to operate this company's mills and factories will cost it absolutely nothing, isn't it fair to
presume that its stock will soon be worth as much as that of its New England, contemporaries? When thia
shall be,
THESE 50 FREE SHARES WILL BE WORTH $5000!
Bond-buyers, therefore, will receive for each $100 bond
INTEREST AT 6 PER CENT.
FIFTY SHARES OF THE COMPANY'S STOCK.
HIS PART OF THE PROFITS OF THE MILLS AND FACTORIES.
HIS SHARE OF THE PROCEEDS OF THE SALE OF THE TOWNSITE LOTS.
HIS SHARE OF THE PROFITS OF THE LARGE EXCELSIOR MILL TO BE ERECTED.
HIS SHARE OF THE PROFITS RECEIVED FROM THE BIG? WOOL-SCOURING PLANT.
HIS SHARE OF ALL MONEYS RECEIVED FROM THE SALE OF ELECTRICAL POWER.
HIS SHARE OF ALL RENTALS OF BUILDINGS AND HOMES AND LIGHT AND WATER.
HE MAY SELL HIS STOCK, WHICH OUGHT TO NET HIM AT LEAST $5000!
We expect that $1,000,000 worth of wool will be sconred at Gordon Falls in 1909. This means business
likewise money for stockholders for "there will be no graft at Gordon Falls!" This is our shibboleth. This
will be a "dead square town," if there was ever one on earth. Its directors declare that

The trial of Jack La Rose accused of

a second time in the Circuit Court yes
terday morning. - District Attorney
Cameron asked for a continuance of
the case because he is busy -with the

John F. Logan, employed as special
prosecutor, has a case on that date, it
may be found necessary to postpone
the murder trial for a third time.
Attorneys Jay H. Upton and Lester
"W. Humphreys, who appear for La
Rosa, objected to the continuance of
the case, saying the District Attorney
has four deputies who are not en
gaged with him in the trial, but Judge
Gantenbein overruled their objections.
The accused man was much disap
pointed when he found he would be
obliged to wait another two weeks be

July . A postponement was had until
October 1. Now it has been put over
until November.

oatmeal that is cooked
three hours in steam
the "meat" of the oats
without the hulls or dirt.
It costs a little snore tnan ordinary " rolled
oats " but it'a twenty times better becausa
it contain more body-building nutriment
and is more easily digested.- It is the only
steam-cooked oatmeal on the market
dainty, delicate, delicious. Ask yoer
(racer for H-O.
