MARTIN WANTS LIBERTY w Says He Is Cured of Drug Habit and Does Xot Want 15-Year Sentence Given Attorney Fouts Grills Detectives and Prosecutor. Edward H. Martin, convicted of manslaughter in connection with the brutal murder of Nathan Wolff, wan denied a new trial by Circuit Judge Cleland yesterday forenoon. The court held that the technical imperfections charged against tho trial of tho case were not a sufficient basis for a new trial. Five days were allowed In which to file a certificate of probable cause. Martin has suffered a change of heart since his conviction and Is ndw intent on getting out of jail if there is any possible way of doing so. He no longer relishes the term of IS years imposed hy the court, averring that he is already cured of the cocaine habit and wishes to make something of him self. He is still at the County Jail and will not begin serving time at the penitentiary until all question of a new trial is removed. Feneca Fouts. as Martin's legal rep resentative, names two reasons for a new trial. The first Is that two city detectives went with the trial Jury to the scene of the murder and talked with them about the gruesome crime, thus possibly influencing their minds against Martin. Deputy District Attor ney Fitzgerald is also accused of hav ing gone to an unlawful extreme in telling the jury, during final argu ments, that "I would not be here try ing this case if I did not believe this j man guilty of the muracr 01 Hainan Wolff." Fouts asked that he be allowed to file affidavits in reference to the visit to the Wolf pawnshop of Detectives Hellyer and Price, while the jury was there. Mr. Fitzgerald protested that such an affidavit could not be filed at the last minute and presented without giving the state an opportunity to an swer. The affidavit was ruled out. An important ruling occurred In con nection with the case when. Mr. Fouts called attention to the fact that Mar tin was held to trial on an information returned by the District Attorney's of fice whereas the law specifically re quires that an indictment by grand Jury must be returned. This law went into effect after Martin was informed against and the interpretation of Its effect haa been varied among lawyers. Judge Cleland ruled that the infor mation was returned before the new manner of procedure became operative and that Martin was clearly held for trial by due and regular processes. Otherwise, the Judge said, all the pris oners In the County Jaiil could be re leased on habeas corpus proceedings. ami to reduce the stock we have reduced the price.

Bad-tempered, ungovernable, quarrel some, nagging, lazy. Improvident and 'actually dangerous. That is the word picture Martin Sarlc draws of his wife, Anfla Sarlc, in a divorce complaint filed with the State Circuit Court yester day. In proof of his charges Sarlc re calls one occasion when she chased him out of their home at 760 Hood rtreet at the point of a butcher knife. On another occasion, he says, she drove him entirely out of the neighborhood by use of rocks weighing from six to eight pounds, which she hurled at him with great violence. As a husband he has always been kind, mild and faithful. Saric says. But on the subject of his wife he is , volcanic in his denunciation. They were married at Dalmatla. Austria, Sep tember 27. 188$. he says, and now have five children, the eldest a girl of 17, the youngest an Infant of two months. Saric says she Is getting worse with age. and that he is actually afiaid to go near her. Not only does she abuse him In a high-handed manner, but she refuses to do the housework and un lawfully detains their young son from attending school, the complaint sets, out. Shortly after the complaint was filed Mrs. Sarlc retaliated by filing a charge of r.on-support In the County Court. She accuses Saric of having entirely failed to provide for her and for their children. ... j t Jf MARION WARDE FAR N HAM Reader and Impersonator. Gives a DRAMATIC RECITAL Character Costumed.

EARLY GAYS SHE RETOLO GRANGE CELEBRATES ITS 4 1ST ANNIVERSARY. At Commemoration by Evening Star Grange State Iecturer Is Again Chosen Master.' Besides celebrating the forty-first anniversary of the founding of the Patrons of Husbandry yesterday, the annual election of officers of Evening Star Orange No. 27 was held in the hall on the Section Line road. Be tween 200 and 300 members and vtsltois were present- during the day and at the exercises in the afternoon. State Lecturer J- J- Johnson, who Is also the master of Evening Star Grange, de livered the address on the establish ment of the Patrons of Husbandry, which he said was founded in Wash ington, D. C, by men who were not farmers, but men who had studied out a plan to better the conditions of the farmer. "Father" Kelly, the real founder of the order, was mentioned. Mr. Johnson then gave a brief review of the rise and progress of the otder, which he said was rapid for a few years after it had been established In four states, so that in 1S73 there were more than 10.000 granges in the United States, and in Ohio alone there were over 100.000 members. Then came a reaction, in which the order lost ground, which, the State Lecturer said, had been more than made up. He de clared that the order had become a po tent factor for the general betterment of the farmers of this country, and at present was on a firmer basis than ever before and wielded a powerful influence for the good of the whole country. Following the anniversary address by State Master Johnson, Mrs. H. L. Vail, lecturer. conducted an educational hour, which waa followed by the elec tion of the following officers: Master, J. J. Johnson; overseer. Miss Wilda Buckman: lecturer, Mrs. H. L; Vail; stewaid, E. J. Spooner; assistant stew ard. Carl Emery; secretary, Mrs. M. M. Eaton; treasurer, Mrs. E. J. Spooner; gatekeeper.
