Martin, ac cused murderer of Nathan Wolf, the First-street pawnbroker, by a Jury in the State Circuit Court, at 3:30 o'clock yesterday afternoon.

Juries Cleland fixed next Tuesday at 1:30 A- 1L as the time for pronouncing sentence. The maximum penalty for manslaughter is Imprisonment In the State Penitentiary for 15 years. Secrecy Pledged by Jurors. Neither the prosecution nor the de : fense nor the prisoner himself is sat I lsfled with the verdict, which Is rec ' prized as a compromise. The Jurors j before films into the courtroom evl- dently had pledged themselves- to I secrecy as to the result of their ballot i Ins; before the final verdict was reached. I ."one of them would discuss their de liberations or indicate how the ballot ing stood as to the guilt or innocence of . the accused at any stage of their ex ' tended conference. 4 The members of the Jury manifestly were satisfied with the instructions from the court and were resolved on their course of action before leaving the courtroom Friday afternoon. At no time during the 25 hours that were spent In reach ing the compromise verdict did they ask for any further enlightenment by the court as to the legal phases of the subject they were required to decide. The members of the Jury retired at 2:15 o'clock Friday afternoon and It was Just 3:15 P. M. yesterday that word was sent to the officers of the court that an aRree ment had been reached. The half-filled courtroom was quickly crowded by the expectant spectators who thronged the corridors of the courthouse. John A. Jef frey. Seneca Fouts and C. A. Ambrose, counsel for the defendant, were the first of the legal counsel Interested in the case to enter the courtroom. They were fol lowed presently by District Attorney Cam eron and his assistant. Thad W. Vree land, representing the state. Awaits Verdict With Smile. At 3:27. Martin, accompanied by Deputy 6heriff Beatty, arrived and took his seat beside his counsel, whom he greeted with smile. Three minutes later, the mem bers of the jury filed into the Jury box and. In response to an Inquiry from Judge Cleland as to whether or not a verdict Jiad been reached. Fred K. Hungerford. foreman of the Jury, delivered to the court the findings of that body. The verdict was first Inspected by Judge Cleland. who handed It to Clerk "Wells, who read it. During the read ing of the paper, Martin stood erect and the pronouncement of his guilt of manslaughter caused a noticeable ex pression of disappointment to take possession of a countenance which but a few minutes before was wreathed with smiles In anticipation of a ver dict which the prisoner had satisfied himself must be acquittal. Following the formality of his coun sel in asking for time to file a motion for a new trial. Martin was returned to his cell, where he was Joined a few minutes later by Mrs. Martin, who, how ever, was not present when the verdict was received. In dismissing the Jur ors. Judge Cleland thanked them as an officer of the court for their patient attendance on the long and tedious trial. 'Unfair,' Martin's Only Comment. "It was a aiost unfair court and Jury. was the only comment uttered by Martin, as he was being returned to the County JaiL Later in the after noon he declined to receive reporters or to discuss the case, referring to his counsel. "We are very much disappointed with the verdict." said District Attor ney Cameron. "There should not have been a compromise verdict. Kither the defendant was guilty of first de gree murder or he was Innocent and should have been acquitted. There were no grounds for compromising the verdict. The crime was a deliberate, cold-blooded deed, and the Jury should have determined the guilt or Innocence of the accused for such a degree of crime and none other." "Of course, we were surprised that 1 any verdict other than that of acquit tal should have been returned." com mented John A. Jeffrey, who assisted lo defend Martin on the murder charge. "We are not satisfied with the ver dict, for. In view of all of the circum stances, we think the accused should have been acquitted. There were a few awkward circumstances surround ing the case to be explained, and I have no doubt but that this fact and the longdrawn-out trial and volume of evidence were responsible for the compromise verdict that was reached. We are hopeful of obtaining a retrial and are confident eventually of ac quitting the defendant." Defendant's counsel were not pre pared yesterday to say whether or not they would appeal the case to the State Supreme Court should their mo tion for a new trial be denied by Judge Cleland.

'i EMILIO tE GOGORZA. Emilio de Gogorta. who is to sing here soon, is among the male singers what Schumann-Heink is among the female stars. His mag netic personality, combined with individuality, makes his singing stand out so far in advance of his contemporaries that he fills a unique position in the concert world. Time and again has Mr. De Gogorza's friends in the operatic world tried to persuade him to take up the operatic stage, but the young baritone, he is only 24. cannot be per suaded to forsake the position he has made fur himself in the concert field. This is the last year that Mr. De Gogorza will spend In America for some time to come and It would not be surprising if his Inten tion In living abroad is to prepare himself for an operatic career.
