OFFICER
FIEND FORMERLY An
West Point Graduate Forced to Leave Regiment on Account of
Financial Difficulties-Married Queen of the Pool Room-In
Trouble Through Drug Habit-Comes of Fine Family.
PORTLAND, May . In Edward II.
Martin, former lieutenant in the Fnitod
States army, graduate of Wost "Point.
Ford ham university mid Now York Law
school, whose hrillinnl mi ml lias boon
ruined liy the cocaine linliit, the police
are confident they have the murderer
of Nathan Wolff last Friday evening.
Hit by lit they are weaving a chain of
circuinstnnt inl evidence aai tist Martin.
Nothing of u stmt ling nature devel
oped today. The police are more than
ever confirmed in their belief that Mar
tin killed Wolff. Martin is plainly
Knowing the effects of the action of
the police in shutting off his supply of
drugs, and it is expected that ho will
ial;o some sort of a statement very
soon. Today, however, he denies his
ffiiilt in every particular.
Married Poolroom Queen.
Martin figured largely in Xew York
newspapers several years ago. While
stationed there with his regiment he
got into difficulties in his financial af
fairs and his connection with the army
f ceased soon thereafter. About the
same time he announced that be had
married (iussie McKee, 'the poolroom
queen," a young woman who conducted
a race-betting establishment for the ex
clusive accommodation of women. She
died a year or two after her marriage
to Martin. Following her death, Martin '
left New York fur the west.
Suspected of Previous Murder.
A special to the Telegram from Lew
iston, Idaho, says that Martin was mis- :
peeled of the alleged murder of his
partner in February, l!M)", in the Thun
der mountain mining district, when1 liis
parents had purchased for him an in
teret in a mining claim. The body of j
his partner was not found. Martin was,
released the following October. While
confined in jail he endeavored to secure
liberty by burning the jail build ing.
After his release he went to Leu iston I
and afterward wan arrested in Moscow
and Wallace. Charges of insanity were,
filed, but he was discharged as his de- '
raagenient was caused by excessive use j
of drugs. Xo trace of his partner in the j
mining claim was ever secured.
Has Excellent Education. ;
Kdwnrd II. Martin is a man of excel
l"iit. education. Born in Xew - York,
February J, 171. he attended the pub
lie schools of that city, from which ho
was graduated and then entered Ford
ham university, which school he attend
ed from ISMS to IM'L!. Following his
graduation he entered the New Vorlt
Law school, from which lie wan gradu
ated in ISO-i. He then entered'the West
Point Military academy, ivhercTie'f ook

partmeiit. lie was graduated well up
in his class in ls;m. In October, l!Mi,
he entered the medical department of
the I'niversity of Oregon iy Poitluml.
where he spent a year, onding May.
Since that time lie has been engaged
in various work, and on Peceinber LI of
last year he applied for n position in
the city engineering department of this
city. Ho said that he could do almost
any work, and not having any other
position open at the time. City Engineer
Taylor temporarily nppninti-d It tin chain
man.
Martin was found biding in n mom
over the Penny saloon. ''Til Fast Mor
rison id reef, corner of I'nioii avenue.
.'etcetives Hellyer and Tichem.r found
the man.
Kvidently Martin returned to his hid
ing plare over the saloon as soon as
he . ft the house of Mrs. tolc. lU Ka-t
I'nvin street, which he had visited less
than nn hour before the arrest iok
f'aee.
An nbrasion behind the ear and a
d ep scratch on the face show that Mar
' tin has been through a struggle, though
it was believed by the deieeUves that
the man who killed Nathan WUf.er
tainly mint have received rrini
wound.
From the time lh bhtody 1iirt was
discovered behind the Wellington ho
tel at Third ar.d Flanders Mitxts, Cp
IN U. 8. ARMY
tain lift ty and his detectives worked to
trace the shirt to the man who wore
it the night of the murder. Like hull
dogs they hung on to this clew u ti tit
I hey traced it to Martin, who purchased
it from Max Droy, a second-hand dealer
at 221) Front Hlreet.
With this information in their pos
session the officers gathered logether
the remaining ends of the crime Into
ut night; when Captain. Baty and Chief
(Irit.machor were convinced (hat Mar
tin was the man thev were searching
for.
Vith the laundry mark, 14Alli:t" as
a basis for their search the detectives
immediately made u round of the laun
dries. A search at several elicited no
information and finally the bloody shirt
was taken to the Opera. House laundry.
The head marker, who is considered nn
expert, was not in' and could not be
found until yesterday morning.
Locating Shirt Owner.
) Then commenced a search through
jthe hooks and it. was found to belong
i to a man other than Martin. This man
was traced down and he told of selling
; it with a lot of other shirts to Max
I Drey, a second-hand man who goes
about the city gathering up old clothes
which he resells. When Prey was
found ho could not tell tho name of the
man who bought the shirt from him.
Orey said that he mot tho man at X.
Solomon's jewelry store at ISit Thiid
street.
Solomon knew Mart in t h rough vai i
ous business I ransact ions when Martin
pawned articles of jewelry. Solomon
told the police captain. I '.at v. that Mar
tin had been in his store April 'Jt ami
pawned some draughtsmen 's inst.ni
meats, for which Solomon loaned Martin
Just at this time Oivv came along

w nil shirts as good as new and want
ed the' clerk in the store to l.nv them.
The clerk refused, hut Martin asked
the man to wait a minute.
Drey Identifies Shirt.
As soon as Martin finished his deal
with Solomon and had obtained tho
he went out of the store with lrcv and
the two went to the Plaza block, where
Martin bought three shirts. Of these,
one of them was the one found covered
wil.i blood behind Die Washington ho
tel. llrey identified the shirt mid then
was no longer any doubt in the officer's
mind.
Still they were not satisfied and went
out to Martin s house, Hrfe their last
doubts were removed. The detectives
learned that Martin returned home at
midnight Friday night without a shirt
find -with a emit and vest on flint Mrs.
Mario had never seen before. Martin
abo had a wound on his forehead.
With this knowledge and knowledge
that Martin was a drug fiend, the de
tec tires had their case practically com

four mutilated bodies were dug up, ano!
upon digging I Inee feet down, si ruck

The first of these two was of an adult

The body had been dismembered. Sen

I here developed today a startling
theory I Ik, I Iho woman ilia not .lie in
the fire, which destroyed her home on
the night of April "S, and that she is

Chicago. This theory is strengthened
by the fact that the head of the body
of oiio woman found in the ruins of the
(iiiinness home after the fire is still
missing, although every effort has been
made to find if. Unless tho head is
found today, officers will make a post

CIHCAfiO, May (I. A new movement I
of t remendous importance and proph
otic significance in the direction of re
forming the American saloon has ma
terialized. The movement which is rap
idly gaining head way, is within the
ranks of the liquor interests themselves.
Among the topics to be discussed are
the following: Methods of divorcing
the saloon business from gambling, slot
machines and vice; local option ami pro
hibition laws recently enacted by the
state legislatures.
Pensions for Widows.
Congressman Hawley writes that the
pensions of all widows now on the roll,
umbr t he new law, will he increased
dating from May I without any appli
cation at all. The government itself
is attending to the business. The law
provides for a pension of I2 per mouth
for the widow of any soldier who served
in the army or navy for !iti days or omre
and whs hotiorablv discharged, to be
paid during widowhood. If not already
