OE CRIME BY WIFE
Aocused Man Tells About His Life t
West Point and How He Came to
.Leave Army Wife a Trained Nurse
Who Has Tried to Reform Him.
PORTLAND, May 7. E. II . Martiu,
accused of the murder of Nathan Wolff,
talked as follows about hi in so If while
iu his cell:
'I was a graduate of West Point
nud served as an officer in the United
States arm for several years. 1 don 't
ueueve i care to tell all about mv nrmv
life, but if I don't someone else will.
I was appointed by tho president as a
cadet to West Point in 1894. My an
pointmont was secured on the recom
mendation of William Ryan, of New
York City, congressman for the Six
teonth congressional district of New
York.
"I entered the class of '98 aud was
known by alt my classmates as 'Miftv
Martin. All college boys, you know,
get some sort of nicknames during their
school days, and I was 'Mifty. 1 grad
. noted in 1898 and I was sent immedi
ately to tho front in the Spanish-American
wnr as a second lieutenant in com
pany A of the Twenty-first infantry. I
. . .v ... ,v ..uub IIUI1UK (lit' w
ban campaign until a year later. While
a second lieutenant 1 commanded com
pany A because wo wero very short of
officers. - 1 wns in the thick of tho
fight nt Ran Juan Hill and engaged in
many of the skirmishes before and nf
ter this event."
Took Drugs as Medicine.
"In 1889 I was stricken down with a
lot of other fellows with tho yellow
iovor. It wns while convalescing from
this disease that I became addicted to
taking drugs. One night when I was
suunnng the agonies of the damned I
begged n doctor to give me some mor
phine and from that I contracted the
taste for it.
"During my convalescence I was
sent back to New York City aud on be
ing ablo to do duty L was assigned as
an aide on the staff of General Mer-
ritt, commander of tho department of
uor's Island, New York harbor. I was
soon transferred from there to the Ar
tillery corps and assigned to Sandy
Hook, where from 1899 to 1902 I was
employed ns an expert in the Artillery
corps on interior and exterior ballistics.
"In 1902 I resigned from the army.
Yes, t was forced to resign. Practical
ly that. The medical department knew
that 1 was addicted to the use of drugs
nnA nltlt..l. I . n A
I was given a chance to resign. Peo
ple who take drugs cannot stay in the
army, so I got out."
Accused Her Husband.
"Do you think it wns your husband
that did this thing?1' Mr. Manning
asked of Mrs. Martin.
"I'm afraid it was,' she replied in
a barely audible voice.
On account of tho deep distross that
was apparent in her manner she was ex
cused from the ordeal of close examin
ation for the time being, it being ap
parent that she had no idea of protect
ing her husband in the investigation as
to his innocence or guilt.
Mrs. Martin is hardly the woman that
would bo looked for ns tho wife of a
pervert such as Martin. She is a wom
an of education and plainly of refined
bringinb up. She is a devout christian
and during tho three brief years of
their married life sho has sought con
stantly to help Martin overcome his
weaknesses and vices. She is about 28
years old, decidedly comely, a brunetto,
slight of build and dresses very plain
ly, but with good taste. She did not
break down nud cry or become hysteri
cal yesterday, donbtless being inured to
suffering, but there was a pathos in the
expression of her face which told of a
sorrow more profound than could bo
told by hysterical tears.
Married Three Years.
Martin and his wife were married at
Syracuse, X. Y., in May three years
ago. Their marriago wns a romantic
one. Mrs, Martin wns a trained nnrse
in the hospital where Martin went with
mi attack of dysentery, an ailment
which ho had frequently following his
army days in Cuba as a second lieuten
ant of company A. Twenty first United
States infantry. After n brief court
ship the nurse left tho hospitnl and
they wero married quietly. They came
to Portland from New York in Octo
ber a year ago, and have lived mainly
from remittances sent the young man
by h i s fa t her, a re t ired rea 1 est a t e
broker of means.
It is known that Mrs. Martin had
tried patiently to help her husband'
overcome his weaknesses for drugs, but
the habit which held Martin in control
refused to be shaken off. Giving up in
despair, she tried to get a divorce more
than a year ago in the oast, hut the nf
fair was smoothed over and they tried
to get along together again, Martin
being very much in lovo with his wife
and unwilling to give her up.
Accused Her Husband.
Pausing at the scene of the atro
cious murder of Nathan Wolff while
on their wny ffl high mass at the cathe
dral Sundiiy morning. Mrs. Martin ac
cused her husband of the crime. Cir
cumstances having aroused her suspi
cions, the unhappy woman .chose a
course that would lead them directly
past the Wolff pawnshop on the way
to mass. There was a crowd about thp
entrance at the time, and they had to
veer into tho street in order to pass.
When directly in front of the store Mrs.
Martin stopped. Martin did likewise.
Placing herself squarely in front of the
msn, so sho could watch the play of
his exprewion, Mrs. Martin said:
"Are yon sure thnt it was not yu
killed this man?"
' find, no " ei claimed Martin. "Anil
if I thought for a minute th.it you !
thought m 1 would jump in the river."!
i SAN FRANCISCO, May 7. Juuh-
ino L. Brown, the pretty cashier of K.
Fried lander & Sous' lingerie establish
ment, 1215 Oeary street, is wanted by
the police. Hor employer sworo to a
warrant today, charging embezzlement.
Although tho complaint states that the
cashier took only $20, Friedlander told
Judge Cuban ins, who issued tho war
rant, that Miss Drown was short in her
accounts between $3000 and $4000.
It is alleged that tho races were a
strong attraction to tho young woman
aud that she often "plunged." At
tho racetrack she cut quite u stunning
figure, being conspicuous in the wom
en 's gull cry, where her smart gowns
and picture hats wou the admiral iou of
all. It was Miss Jliowu'w love of sport,
her employer says, which led her to
tako money belonging to the firm.
It is said that- Misk P.iowu was a de
cided favorite of tho head of the form
until today, and it was rumored that
an engagement hud existed. The lov
ers, it is alleged, quarreled ami her
frieuds declare the charges against her
are spitework ou the part ol the firm.
It is alleged to be nu attempt to ruin
Miss Brown's character nr.d she has
many champions.
