JTIs Wealthy Father Failing to
Come to Aid Murder Was
Brolal in Extreme.
Edward Hugh Martin will be placed
on trial In the Circuit Court tomorrow
for the murder of Nathan Wolff. Both
the District Attorney's office and the
lawyer for the defense said yesterday
that they were ready to proceed with
the case when It la called, and that
there would be no delay.
It is understood that Martin s de
fense will be a general denial of all
the allegations made against him. The
testimony for conviction Is entirely of
a, circumstantial nature and very con
vincing, the District Attorney say.
This testimony has been reviewed and
the witnesses examined at length, so
that the state understands quite fully
what difficulties will have to be over
come Max Drey, the peddler who says
he sold Martin a shirt a day before
the murder and Identifies a blood
stained garment found on a garbage
heap after the murder, will be the
state's chief witness. Drey hasn't puc
In an appearance yet from Chicago,
but District Attorney Cameron says
he Is sure Drey will be on hand when
wanted.
Martin's rich father hns not yet been
heard from. Evidently he doesn't in
tend to Interfere between the law and
his son. The elder Martin is known
to have helped his son out before dur
ing; the young man's wild career as
an opium fiend. But more than a year
ago when the son returned to his use
of drugs, the father said that was the
end of their relations, and apparently
mennt what he said.
Martin's wife Is the only one who is
standing hy him. Although at the
time of his arrest she shared In the
suspicions of the police that he was
the brutal murderer of Wolff, she has
since ceased entirely to accuse him.
What money hns been supplied for
the purposes of defense has been put
up by her.
On the state will fall the expanse
tf trying the case and of defending;
Martin. Attorneys Fouts and Jeffery
were appointed by Circuit Judge Gan
tenbeln to defend the prisoner on his
sworn statement that he waa unable
to hire counsel.
There has been a rerslstent report
that Martin would alter his defense
nd admit killing Wolff In self de
fense. This report was declared un
true by Martin's lawyers yesterday.
They said he would contend he had no
knowledge of the Wolff murder be
yond that of reading accounts of the
affair In the papers. While not mak
ing any revelations. Martin's attor
neys said that disclosures of a very
unusual nature would be made dur
ing the trial, and that the chances are
excellent of Martin's acquittal.
Martin, self-possessed and quiet. Is
a different man from the one who
begged plteously for drugs at the time
of his arrest early last Spring. Sheriff
Ptevena haa Insisted on keeping mor
phine and other drugs entirely away
from the man. Martin no longer asks
for drugs, saying he has learned to
live without them. He admits that
several months of Imprisonment have
been beneficial.
Regarding the ense he will not talk
further than tojsay he did not kill
Wolff, and that ills Innocence will be
fully established at the trial.

Three Good Bills at the
Vaudeville Houses.
BT NANCY LEE.
aS a whole the Orpheum bill this
week ranks favorably with its
predecessors, although perhaps
It is not as pretentious as that of
haps it is not as pretentious as that of
the week Just past. As an innovation
a dramatic playlet Is offered, an in
tensely Interesting sketch called "The
Operator," which is splendidly handled
by Lester Chambers and Clara Knott.
Having a decidedly dramatic plot, it
would in less capable hands, immedi
ately assume a melodramatic tendency
of the most virile form. This, how
ever, the players skilfully avoid. The
sketch is by Charles Kenyon, and por
trays a lone telegraph station in the
center of the Nevada desert, where the
fatigued operator, from loss of sleep,
confuses telegraph signals and there
by almost wrecking an Eastern bound
train. The tragedy is avoided by a
woman's heroism and wit. Through
out, the attention of the audience is
clinched, while the nerves of the sus
ceptible ones, execute a double chro
matic scale up and down the vertebrae.
A warm welcome was extended the
popular prima donna, Mies Helen Ber
tram, who for the first time is appear
ing in vaudeville, after her repeated
successes in both grand and comic
opera. Miss Bertram's voice is quite
as charming as formerly and her se
lections were varied and artistically
well chosen. She haa still the ame
electric personality that endeared her
to the local public when she made her
initial bow with the Bostonlans, and
still fresh in memory was her singing
of the dainty love song of "Cupid and
1" with flute obllgato.
The bill opens with two English co
medians, William G. Le Clair and Lew
Sampson, who are travesty gymnasts
and introduce novel features and a hu
morous act which they christen "The
Bogus Strong Man."
Noblett and Marshall appear Jointly
in a skit which is void of plot, but
which serves to introduce a number of
songs and dances, while they intersperse
their act with comedy. With the ex
ception of a few serio-comic notes. Miss
Marshall makes considerable out of her
songs, and both dance gracefully.
Motion pictures are more than or
dinarily interesting, two sets being
shown, one during the first half, and
again at the finale.
Raffln's Simian performers are an
aggregation of remarkably well-trained
monkeys, who are entertaining.
In spite of the surfeit of these ex
ponents of the Darwinian theory. The
Merry Widow waltz era and a flying
trapeze baboon are new features which
axe among then best seen here.
Charles H. Bradshaw, with a capable
company, gives a funny nonsensical
type of a sketch In which Bradshaw
plays consistently and cleverly an
abused son-in-law, with pongee hair
disposition.
Arthur Deeming, who has an enviable
reputation as an ebon-faced comedian.
Is one of the best on the bill; giving a
monologue full of timely hits and com
edy. He does not feel it incumbent to
dance, which is a relief, and he there
by rests on his merits.
Grand.
A WOMAN, who does some phenome
nal rifle-shooting, is the star attrac
tion at tha Grand this week and those
who do really enjoy something entirely
out of the ordinary. In the vaudeville
line, will enjoy a new sensation In Beelng
Miss Vivian shoot. Her work with the
rifle is nothing short of marvelous.
The Grand show this week is fully
up to tho average as those who saw it
yesterday will attest.
Welch and Earl, who call themselves
"the two in wnlte" give a decidedly en
tertaining song and danoe turn; Hill and
Silvalny offer an attractive unicycle turn
and display marvelous skill in riding
single wheels, while Brooks and Vedder
in their sketch, "The New Housemaid"
present a particularly happy little
comedy skit.
Male Shaftels. advertised as "The
English Songbird," does some good vocal
work. The Musical Gardners offer an
act which succeeds in pleasing the audi
ence very well. Indeed, and Fred Bauer's
illustrated song has many things to rec
ommend It.
One of the best features of the Grand
show is always the moving pictures and
this week offers no exception.
Amusement-seekers will And the Grand
more than usually attractive this week
and will make no mistake In visiting the
popular Washington-street vaudeville
house. Fantages.
IT has been a long time since the
Pantages management has offered
its patrons such an altogether satis
factory show as that which, is on for
the current week. From overture to
the moving pictures the acts that are
offered seem equally pleasing and the
audience gets the biggest kind of its
money's worth
Myrtle Victorine and her two asso
ciates, the two Zolars, comprise a sing
ing and dancing trio which has seldom
been excelled on a local stage. Their
turn has in it the decided element of
novelty, and the three girls succeed in
making themselves very important in
the final estimate or the week's bill.
Particularly effective is the "Lazy
Moon" number which, while timeworn
and entirely familiar to the audience
is Introduced in a new and delightful
manner.
The tabloid musical comedy, "The
Taming of the Beast," as presented by
Klernan. Cole. Kiernan & Co. proves to
be a highly pleasing deviation from the
customary vaudeville number and all
the participants do themselves credit
In its rendition.
Elliott Beamer sings an Illustrated
song which receives the usual amount
of applause and Billy Cullen, whose
single act comprises songs and mono
logue Alls in his portion of the pro
gramme in a most satisfactory manner.
One of the big hits of the show is
the Victoria Quartet, who have a vocal
and instrumental turn of exceptional
Interest. Arta, who styles herself "the
bullet-proof woman," allows her part
ner to shoot at her in a nerve-racking

W. J. Baker, one of Hood River's
well-known real estate men. who re

Custer's detachment to the scene of
the trouble, who afterward gave the
relic to Mr. Baker, under whom he was
employed.
Mr. Baker has many times been of
fered large sums of money for the
chair, but states that it is not for sale.
