155 THE MORNING OREGOXIAX. SATURDAY, MAY 9, I90S. BE KT. CO, T MARTIN MIL HARRY WOOD M INDICTED DAY Formal Charge of Murder of Nathan Wolff to Be Filed by the District Attorney. NO PRELIMINARY HEARING Prisoner Will Be Removed at Once to County Jail to Await Trial. Wife Calls on Suspect Again. Her Sister to Be a Witness. Edward H. Martin will be indicted to day on a charge, of murdering Nathan Wolff. An Information was prepared last niKht by District Attorney Manning and Is ready for filing with the State Circuit Court the first thing this morning. Mar tin wll! be held for trial without the for mality of preliminary examination. As soon as the Indictment is perfected he will be taken to the County Jail to await trial. , After hearing the circumstances thus far developed connecting Martin with the murder, Mr. Manning decided at once that the evidence was sufficiently com plete and definite to warrant holding the suspect. He expressed the opinion that, barring unforeseen developments, convic tion of Martin will be a certainty when the case comes to trial. Sarah Griffin. Martin's sister-in-law, will be one of the most important wit nesses for the state if present plans do not miscarry. Inasmuch as the wife's testimony could not be used without Martin's consent, even should she be minded to tell all she may know. Miss Griffin's evidence would be quite as im portant as that of Mrs. Martin's as showing Martin's conduct on his arrival home at midnight following the tragedy. Heard Martin's Talk With Wife. It developed yesterday that Miss Grif fin has told the authorities in detail of Martin's arrival home a few minutes be fore 12 o'clock of the night In question. She heard Mrs. Martin ask him what had become of the clothes he wore away earlier in the day and how he came by the cuts and scratches on his face, head and hands. She heard Martin's lurid story of having been attacked by high waymen and his later story of a fight over a game of cards in which he claimed to have been struck with a chair. She has told of noting the smallest de tails of his conduct. Mr. Manning caused the Issuance of a subpena for Miss Grif fin yesterday, and expects to use her testimony. It Is doubted, however, whether she can testify as to any con versation which occurred between Mar tin and Mrs. Martin. Mrs. Martin visited her husband again in his cell early yesterday after noon, but as on the occasion of her previous viBit, she remained only a few minutes. She -was accompanied to Martin's cell by Miss Griffin and by J. P. Kavanaugh, who is acting tem porarily as her legal adviser. The law yers who will handle the case have not yet been named. That is not likely to he done until the elder Martin is defi nitely heard from. It is sug-gested that an Eastern lawyer may come here to take charge of the case. Father of Suspect located. Hugh Martin, the father, was located yesterday. Word to that effect was re ceived early in the day by Mrs. Martin. The message was from the elder Mar tin's New York agent. It was not stated where the father is located, al though it is known he Is somewhere in Europe on a pleasure trip. The tele gram from New York advised Mrs. Mar tin that the father would communicate direct with the prisoner. Mrs. Martin again reassured her hus band that she would stand by him in his trouble, when she visited the cell yesterday. The police gave them no opportunity to talk alone. Mrs. Mar tin remained only long enough to as sure the suspect that she believed him Innocent and said competent counsel would be provided. Martin's defense, as stated yester day, will be the establishment of an alibi unless his counsel advises him to the contrary. It Is learned that he was about with five friends Friday aft ernoon. His relatives are already tak ing steps to find these men. Martin expects to show that he was with them until after 5 o'clock and that he reached his home in Sellwood five minutes of 6 P. M. He says his wife will bear him out In that contention and that he left home about 7:30, returning at mid night. Denies He Borrowed Revolver. The statements of Mrs. Grubb, of 149 Pennoyer street, that Martin borrowed a revolver from her the Friday of the murder, is vigorously denied by Mar tin. He says he can easily account for his whereabouts at o'clock, when Mrs. Grubb says he was at her place. He pays he was talking with Municipal Judge Cameron at 3:30 o'clock, in front of me Chamber of Commerce building, although Judge Cameron says he can remember no such meeting. Mrs. Grubb declares that she was not mistaken. Martin told her he was a military man and as such was greatly interested In target practice. He asked her for her revolver for a few days, nnd she gave it to him, together with a number of cartridges, so she says. Martin ate the first food since his errest last night. During the four days of confinement he had minced at the coarse Jail food, but was not able to eat. Chief Grltzmacher consented to let Mar tin have fresh milk and cookies, last night, as he had asked for them re peatedly. When they were given him, he ate half a dozen cookies and drank a bottle of milk. SAY THEY KECOGXIZE MARTIN Raker City People Declare He Went by Name of Major Adams There. BAKER CITY, Or., May S. (Special.) There seems to be little doubt in the minds of the people of this city that ES. H. Martin, who is under arrest In Portland, on suspicion of being the mur derer of Nathan Wolff, is none other than Major Adams, who gained con siderable notoriety in this city last Sum mer by his queer actions. The der-Tiptions of the men tally ex actly and the Major's bearing plainly indicated that he had been a member of the Army. He usually carried a large cane with which he was doing all kinds of tricks and was continually quoting Shakespeare or making a flowery speech. He appeared to be a brilliant and ac complished man and always had money. He was taken in by the police twice for being a nuisance, but never created any trouble. Major Adams did not drink much but appeared 'to be under the Influence of morphine. He said that his father was a multi-millionaire and that he was out BY LIL.IAN TINGLE. WITH the early Summer fruits and vegetables coming in, on by one, the housekeeper's visits to the market Increase in interest and pleasure; though the pleasure for any woman who is at all dainty and fastidious in regard to her food supplies is at times marred by the carelessness of. those dealers who prefer to keep fruit and vegetables low down on the sidewalk. Probably, how ever, this would quickly be changed if even half a dozen good customers' would draw attention to the matter and point out its obvious undesirabillty. California strawberries seem to be plentiful and fairly good, costing from 12,4 to 15 cents a box, or three boxes for a quarter, in the smaller size. Oregon berries cost 25 cents as yet. The cherries to be seen are still small and lacking in certain attributes of the cherry "wot is a cherry"; but they are Improving in appearance, and cost now from 10 to 2 cents a pound. Loquats. at 20 cents a pound; mangoes, at M cents a dozen; aligator pears, at 50 cents each, and pine apples, at 40 to 60 cents, give variety to the fruit stalls, while the new season s nuts, "from Brazil" dike "Charleys Aunt"), add another tropic touch, be sides being "good eating" when properly treated. Green lima beans are to be seen now as well as the wax and string beans that have been in for the last few weeks. Tiny French carrots, pearly-skinned ydung turnips and fine "Telephone" teas sug gest various dainty "macedoines ana "Russian" salads. Good artichokes are again to be had at three for 25 cents. Asparagus costs 10 to 12'4 cents a pound and new Oregon peas 20 cents. There are plump and handsome green peppers at 10 cents each and attractive cucum bers for 15, 25 and 35 cents and plenty of nice head lettuce, endive, watercress and radishes. Rhubarb Is large and plenti ful and you get from four to six pounds for 25 cents. Spring ducks are $1 each and Spring chickens at 50 and 75 cents are very charming, but hardly the thing for large and hungry families. Substantial (some times too substantial) "chickens" at 18 to 20 cents (with plenty of gravy and old fashioned dumplings or biscuits) are more suitable for such cases. Turkeys are of course quite out of season, such as there are being 25 cents a pound and inclined to "scrawniness" in outline, Fish is very good and various in kind this week. Shad is very cheap at pres ent (15 to. 30 cents each), and striped bass is cheaper than usual. Sea trout are plentiful at 20 to 40 cents each. Maryland soft-shell crabs, three for tl, will be welcomed by some people; others will be glad to see New York clams in addition to our own ordinary clams, at 10 cents a .dozen. Shad roe and frog legs are both lower in price this week, the former 25 cents a pound, the latter three dozen for $1. Sturgeon and crop pies tend to be a little higher, being about 20 cents a pound, while perch, hali but, salmon, catfish, flounaer, salmon, crabs and shrimps are all about the same as last week. here to buy a mine. He left here the latter part of the Summer and went to Spokane. ' MARKET WIRE 'TO RESUME Direct Service From East to Be Re established to Portland. A direct ' market service over a leased wire is promised Portland by R. W. Mc Kinnon, of the firm of Logan & Bryan, grain and stock brokers of Chicago and New York, who was in the city yesterday. Mr. McKinnon came to Portland about six years ago, and established the busi ness now conducted by the Overbeck & Cooke Company, but since the dull pe riod following the financial crisis last Fall the leased wire service has been sus pended. Now that times are improving, and the demand for stocks and bonds is steadily increasing, Mr. McKinnon be lieves his firm is Justified In again estab lishing a leased wire service. While in Portland yesterday Mr. Mc Kinnon interviewed a number of promi nent bankers and grain dealers and with out exception they assured him that the Portland business is of sufficient Im portance to warrant facilities equal to those of any other city in the West. During the telegraphers' strike last Summer, the Logan . & Bryan operators remained at their post through out the trouble, and for a number of days the only market reports received at Port land were those which came over the Logan & Bryan wire to the Overbeck u; Cooke Company. It has been three years since Mr. Mc Klnnon's previous visit to Portland, and, like all others who return after a pro longed absence, he was astonished at the growth of the city, especially In the down town business districts. He left last, night for San Francisco and will return East from there. Unless unforeseen obstacles arise the leased wire service will start June 1. WORK FOR EARLY CLOSING Woman's Club Favors Policy for Business Houses.

Tifft had charge of the ex cellent Art Day programme, which fol lowed the business meeting. Miss Georgiana Burns, formerly of the New York Art Students' League, and well known in connection with the Portland Art Students' League, gave a most pleas ing and instructive paper on Whistler's "Ten O'clock Lectures." presenting the study of pictures from the artist's stand point. Mrs. Walter W. Bruce presented an other form of art that of dramatic ex pression, and gave a very effective read ing of "The Priest's Vow," from "The Going of the White Swan," by Sir Gil bert Parker,. As' ah encore Mrs. Bruce gave Kipling's well-known and beautiful "L'Envoi," from "The Seven Seas." SHOWS DIVIDE TERRITORY Norris & Rowe Circus the Only One to Play in Portland This Year.
