One half of the Jury which is to decide
whether Edward Hufch Martin, former
artillery officer, murdered Nathan Wolff,
rawnbroker, was secured yesterday. The
six men needed to complete the Jury will
likely be secured today. Opening state
ments will then be made by prosecution
and defense. Jt Is possible that the tak
ing of testimony will be under way by
Friday.
Notwithstanding that the day was oc
cupied by the dull routine of examining
talesmen. Judge Cleland's division of the
f?tate Circuit Court was packed to over
flow by a curious public. The case forms
one of the most profound murder myster
ies on record. Interest In the trial carries
beyond the limits of the state because
of Martin's high connections and the re
markable story of his career. Son of a
wealthy New York father, student of law,
medicine and military science: brilliant
and daring soldier In the Cuban cam
palgn later abject morphine fiend and
accused of a horrible murder. That is
the story of Martin In a few words. And
he Is now little past 30.
Martin Appears) at Ease.
His features lacked the morbid, stolid set
nearly always observed In men on trial for
a serious crime. He was enjoying perrect
aelf-control. He sat through the day
fully at ease and with no evidence of
anxiety. Head held well back, eyes
clear, muscles of face drawn into an ex
pression of keen interest that was the
characteristic Martin attitude through
out the day. S;veral times the remarks
of talesmen would amuse him. and he
would smile broadly. s
The case was called promptly at 10 A.
M.. having been assigned a few minutes
before to Judge Cleland. Work was
commenced on the prospective Jurors at
once. H. F. Taylor was the first tales
man called. It developed that he had
once been a Janitor at the Courthouse
and wasn't favorable towards men ac
cused of murder. He was excused by the
court at the Instance of the defense. R.
H. Ashby. the second talesman, had con
scientious scruples against circumstan
tial evidence. The state objected to him.
F G. Fellows was excused because he
didn't seem to think policemen the most
truthful class on earth. H. TV. Foster
had prejudices. F. H. Klx wouldn't con
vict on circumstantial evidence and then
Henry L. Cast qualified as the first
Juror.
Lot Off for Various Iteasons.
J. E. Blackburn had his mind made
tip. A. Dllley had been a Pinkerton
watchman and wasn't wanted by the
defense, Theo Henrtchsen had a fixed
opinion on the merits of the case. H.
ftrurk was born In Germany and the
defense used a peremptory challenge
on him. John Donnells had formed an
opinion, W. H. Donahue wouldn't con
vict on circumstantial evidence, and TV.
V. Clark had similar prejudices about
circumstantial evidence, H. Baumann,
Xl'llllKm HjilteM A. M. Oomoton. F.
Helney. C. V. Cooper and TV". K. Dough-
erty were excused because of feeling
they couldn't try the case from an en
tirely unprejudiced standpoint.
At 4 o'clock the entire venire had
Veen exhausted and a special venire of
SO men was ordered by the court. These
will be on hand this morning at 10
o'clock at which hour the examination
of Jurors will be proceeded with.
Story of Wolff Murder.
Here are the facts in the Martln
TVolff murder: Karly the ntKht of May
1. Nathan Wolff was found dead in his
pawnshop on First street near Morri
son. He bad been shot in the back
and hacked with a hatchet. The body
had been dragged to the rear of the
place and there was evidence that theft
had been committed by the murderer.
Several days elapsed without any
thing being accomplished by the police.
Then Sergeant John l.oltz found a
Wood-stained shirt in the North Knd.
It seemed to have been thrown out of
the rear of a cheap rooming-house
where the murderer had gone to change
clothes after the gory crime.
By the laundry mark on this shirt it
was traced to M. Slehel. a business
man who recalled having sold it and
three other shirts to Max Drey, a ped
dler. Drey was found. He said he
had sold one shirt to Edward Martin, a
morphine fiend. He iclentltled the shirt
found in the North Knd as the one he
sold to Martin and accounted for the
other three In a satisfactory manner.
The detective force was unable to
find Martin, who was walking openly
about the streets. But when Martin
heard he was wanted he at once tele
phoned to the police station as to his
whereabouts. He represented himself
to be very Indignant at the charge
against him and branded It as an out
rage. l"p to this moment the detec
tives were sure he had left the city.
Borrowed Kevolver or Woman.
It was learned later that Martin bad
borrowed a revolver the afternoon of
the murder, saying he wanted to en
tragn in target practice. The revolver
was never returned to the owner, an
old woman who lives in South Portland.
Martin denied having borrowed the
weapon and denounced the old woman
as a lying adventurers.
An overcoat, smeared red. was found
tn a vacant lot on the Kast Side and
partially Identified as belonging to
Martin. It was also learned that he
arrived at his home on the East Side
late on the night of the murder and
that he had trouble with his wife in
consequence of which they separated.
Martin said that the separation was
caused by the fact that his wife had
found that he waa using morphine
again. The police said they quarelled
over the Wolff murder. Mrs. Martin ac
cusing her husband of the crime. Mrs.
Martin continues to be loyal to herjL
husband, however, and visits blm al
most daily at the jail.
Martin, for his part, says he will
prove a complete alibi. From the first
he has denied the murder and has fre
quently denounced the murderer aa be
ing a cold-blooded fiend
Won Medals by Bravery.
Two medals of honor given to Martin
for distinguished bravery In saving hu
man life, are to form a part of the de
fense. These medals are at the home
of Martin's father In New York and
have been sent for by the accused man's
lawyers. While the admissibility of the
medals as evidence may be questioned,
yet an effort will be made to have them
Introduced aa showing the character of
Martin.
Two times while stationed about New
York as first lieutenant in the Coast for
tifications, Martin risked his own life to
save another. The first time be saved
a private of the regular service from
drowning. The second time he rescued
a little girl from drowning. Both acts
were marked by extreme bravery and
each time Martin nearly rorfelted his own
life.
It was In the Fall of 1S90 that Martin
jumped from the deck of a ferry boat,
near Governor's Island, and rescued Pri
vate John Lufkln, of the Twelfth United
States Infantry. The act attracted wide
attention because of the fact that Mar
tin was a commissioned officer and the
man he saved an enlisted man. Lieuten
ant Martin and a party of officers were
returning to Governor's Island from a
social function in New York at the time
and L.ufkin was along as orderly when
suffering; with yellow fever after the
Cuban campaign." Martin said regret
fully yesterday morning. "My weak
nesses began with the use of the drug,
which demoralized me aa It will any
man in time."
The police are not Inclined to accept
so charitable a view of Martin's down
ward career. They say that while an
officer with a salary of 11800 a year in
New York harbor fortifications, he was
spending $10,000 a year, mostly his
father's money, and was living a hilar
ious and dissolute life. They say that
a notorious woman stock gambler,
known as the "Poolroom Queen." taught
him to use drugs. Martin admits his
wanades with the woman In the case.
but asserts positively that she did not
use morphine and did not induce mm
to take up the habit.
"Yellow fever is a thing the horror
of which Is understood only by those
who have had it." he says. "I took
morphine to escape Its ravages. The
doctors gave It to me. That was the
beginning of the end. It robbed me of
everything I had. It took me to the
brink of the gutter. But It never
caused me to do a dishonest act. I
have never been accused of doing any
thing that would land a man tn Jail, not
until this Wolff murder, and God knows
I'm Innocent of that ghastly affair, as
time will shhow."
Accused Is Highly Educated.
Martin is a graduate of the public
schools of New York, of Fordham Uni
versity, of the New York Law School
and of West Point. He was born Feb
ruary i. 1874. In New York City, grad-

gold medal by the Life Saving Benevo
lent Association, of New York. With the
medal waa in gold. The young of
ficer, disdaining to accept money for what
he had done, turned the sum over to
a charitable Institution.
Martin's Second Heroic Rescue.
Three-year-old Anna Simpson, daughter
of a member of the life saving crew near
Sandy Hook, was the second one to be
saved from death by Martin. This was
in the Winter of 190). The child fell from
the deck of a boat which was Just leav
ing the pier at Sandy Hook. The bay was
full of floating Ice and chances of sav
ing the child were very slight. Martin
was on the pier. He was officer of the
guard and was wearing his field uniform,
saber and riding boots. He leaped after
the child without waiting to unfasten his
saber. By holding onto a piece of ice
he kept the child's head above water
until a boat could be lowered. For this
he was given a sliver medal. Press clip
pings from New York publications re
citing the facts of these rescues are in the
hands of Martin's lawyers.
An effort will be made, too. to get some
thing before the Jury relating to Martin's
record in Cuba, while he was in command
of Company A. Twenty-first United States
Infantry. Martin fought with valor In
the battle of Santiago and his regiment
and the Sixteenth United States Infantry
were the ones to take the Spanish block
houses on San Juan hill. It was immedi
ately after this engagement that the young
officer was taken down with yellow fever.
He was mentioned in the dispatches for
signal bravery in carrying two wounded
men out of the danger xone while being
subjected to heavy fire from the Spanish
sharpshooters. r
Martin's life story reads more like
that of some character of morbid fic
tion than of an American young man
of good family, the best of training and
exceptional education. The facts of his
life are strangely Inconsistent and In
congruous. There Is nothing In the
early part of It to Indicate the tragic
denouement of the story. As a charac
ter of fiction it would fail as being in
consistent. To morphine Martin unquestionably
owes his resignation under a cloud
from the United States Army. All his
subsequent misfortunes are likewise
traceable to the drug. It was persist
ent use of the stuff that cost Martin
every advantage wealth and education
had gained for him. Finally it es
tranged him from ' his father, Hugh
Martin, wealthy real estate broker of
New York City. This was a brief two
years ago. The elder Martin had tried
every method of breaking his son of
the Insidious drug habit, sending him
abroad and to expensive sanitariums.
Believing the son cured, Martin's father
sent him to Portland to study medicine
with the University of Oregon medical
schooL Martin again gave In to a
craving for morphine and the father
said he was through with his son for
all time.
Just how Martin came to the use of
morphhine there Is no Information
available except what Martin says him
self. And If he is telling the truth the
United States Government is a party
to bis downfall. It was while he was
convalescent from the yellow fever that
the United States service physicians
began plying him with drugs, he says.
He was in torture from the fever.
Morphine relieved his suffering. When
the fever left him the craving for drugs
took its place. The experience is one
that hundreds have suffered, for the
morphine habit Is one of the easiest to
form and the hardest to break.
Drugs Brought His Downfall.
"I would be a company commander
In the United States Army at this min
ute it I bad not been given drugs while J
New York and graduated with honor.
His class was graduated from the mili
tary academy two months In advance of
schedule time on account of the Spanish-American
war. All were assigned
to service Immediately.
Martin was assigned to Company A
of the Twenty-first United States In
fantry. This regiment was placed in the
Fifth Army Corps and sent to Tampa,
Fla.. from which point the corps sailed
to Cuba June 9, 1898. Martin's Captain
was detached as Brigade Quartermaster,
his First Lieutenant went as Lieutenant
Colonel of the Sixty-ninth New York
Volunteer Infantry and command of the
company devolved on Lieutenant Martin.
Not until after the- battle of Santiago
had been fought did Martin go down with
the yellow fever. He was taken to Swin
burne Island for convalescence, and here,
as he says, met his fate in the shape of
morphine.
Heslgns Month After Promotion.
Reporting for duty In February of 1899,
lie was transferred to the artillery corps
and assigned to station at Sandy Hook.
In July of 1900 he was promoted to the
rank of First Lieutenant.
One month after his promotion his use
of morphine necessitated his resignation
from the Army. He had been using it
constantly, had been engaging In wild
debauches, and a court-martial was to
try him for conduct unbecoming an of
ficer. He escaped court-martial by re
signing. He went abroad, visited private sanitar
iums, and, at his father's expense, spent
the next five years ridding himself of the
drug habit. Believing himself free, he
started west, taking with him a bride.
His marrlge occurred In September of
1906, at Syracuse. N. Y. The young cou
ple came at once to Portland, where
Martin entered the medical school.
He lived as a remittance man while
going to school. But an unexpected visit
from the elder Martin put an end to this
arrangement, for Martin, after reaching
Portland, took up the use of drugs again.
His father found It out. and refused to
help him any further or have anything
further to do with him.
Worked for City Engineer.
Martin went to work for the City En
gineer's office as a draughtsman, utiliz
ing the knowledge of mathematics he
gained at West Point He worked sev
eral months until his employment gave
out. During this time he was using mor
phine freely and was making persistent
visits to local loan sharks, who advanced
blm money on his wages.
He was arrested by the police during
the Winter of 1907 because of using mor
phine and not working, but the police
failed to convict him of a charge of va
grancy. When the Wolff- murder oc
curred the police learned that he had
been dealing with the pawnbroker and
had been in trouble with him over the
redemption of a pledge.
Word of the son's predicament was
sent to Martin's father last May, when
the Wolff murder occurred. The elder
Martin waa traveling In Europe at the
time. He failed to respond. A local
shyster lawyer claimed to have re
ceived word from the old man. but this
was found to be a cheap attempt on trie
part of the lawyer to break Into the
case. Martin's father has not communi
cated with hira. The young man had to
take the pauper's oath ten days ago and
have lawyers supplied by the county.

POST PICKETS IN

Police Watching Women Who
Were Forced to Vacate
North End Resorts.
ANGEL BRIGADE IS BUSY
Hopes to Prevent Vice In Respect
able Up-town Districts Xot a
Reform Wave, Says
the Mayor.
Pickets have been posted by the police
at various hotels and lodging-houses
where there are reasons to believe former
denizens of the deserted "North End
have congregated. By means of key-hole
detective work and almost constant sur
veillance of the women the angel bri
gade hopes to prevent crime In the up
town districts.
Some of the pickets are regular plain
clothes detectives, whilo In some cases
they are guests at the hotels who have
consented to aid the police in keeping
espionage over the women. It is said
that clerks and proprietors of certain
hotels have volunteered their aid.
There have been no arrests by the po
lice, although two days have passed since
the women abandoned their old haunts.
Few have accepted the offers of aid In
leaving the city, although perhaps
per cent of the total number have left
without aid. Accordingly a large ma
jority of the women still remain in the
city, having found shelter in various
places.
Mayor Lane tells of one case of refor
mation, although those who have ex
erted every effort to aid the unfortun
ates are somewhat discouraged with their
progress In finding women who desired
to reform.
Woman Returns to Parents.
"I know of a case," said the Mayor,
where one of these women who had been
away from home years and years, tele
graphed to her parents, asking if she
could come home and asking for money
with which to come. Her parents re
plied: 'Yes, come, for we are still your
parents, and you are still our daugh
ter.' "
The Mayor insists that he has accom
plished what he Intended the eradication
of the district known as the "North
End." He also Insists that he was not
prompted In his actions by political mo
tives, and he disclaims having Inaugu
rated a moral crusade.
"It is not for reform that the district
was eradicated." he said, "but simply
to enforce the law."
As a result of closing the district, pa
trolmen are constantly annoyed by former
residents of that section parading the
streets nights. It Is claimed by members
of the angel brigade, however, that the
habit will be quickly suppressed, for tney
will notify all the women that it must
cease.
Scores of Streetwalkers.
There were scores of them on the
streets last night and Tuesday night.
Whether the police will begin arrests
If they persist in their promenades the
police refuse to say. However, it is de
clared by both the Mayor and the police
that arrests will be avoided as much as
possible.
Already houses similar to those of
the former restricted district, but con
ducted more cautiously, have been opened
in various parts of the city. Mayor Lane
declared yesterday that he had been too
busy to Investigate the report that sev
eral of the women had secured a fiat In
Irvington.
Soon after Mayor Lane publicly an
nounced his determination to close the
Whltechapel district, a number of enter-
Drlstng females secured a house in an
exclusive residence district in Thirteenth
street and have conducted the place since
then. They have never been molested.
for the reason, probably, that police offi
cers have been unable to ascertain Its
location. The location, however, is known
by other officials.
GERMAN SOCIETIES UNITED
CONSOLIDATION FORMED OF AS
SOCIATIONS IN OREGON.
Entertainment to Be Held Next Sat
urday Night at Arion Hall.
Fine Programme Prepared.
After years of endeavor during which
several efforts failed, the consolidation
of the various German speaking societies
of Portland and vicinity has been per
fected, and on Saturday night, October 10,
the members of the various organizations
will meet at Arion Hall to commemorate
the landing of the first German Immi
grants on Pennsylvania soil in the 16th
century.
Twenty-six German speaking societies
will participate In this meeting, of which
20 societies are Portland organizations,
the rest coming from various parts of
Oregon. The programme for the evening
Is In the hands of Otto Kleemann, who
was one of the principal factors In se
curing the affiliation of the various so
cieties, and a corps of able assistants.
Mr. Kleemann Is sanguine over the pros
pects for the success of the meeting, and
says that the programme so far arranged
Is one of the biggest ever attempted. On
account of the length and character of
the entertainment planned It has been
decided to Inaugurate the programme
promptly at 7 o'clock, and all members
of the various societies have been notified
to be in attendance at that hour.
The occasion marks the consummation
of years of labor on the part of the ad
vocates of the consolidation, and now
that It has succeeded, the allied societies
hope to progress rapidly In securing
recognition of various legislative mat
ters In which they are Interested.
The consolidation of German speaking
societies of Oregon is patterned after
and is a member of the National German
American Alliance of the United States,
and alms to awaken and strengthen the
sense of unity among the people of Ger
man origin in America with a view of
promoting the useful and healthy de
velopment of the power Inherent in them
as a united body. By such an alliance
It is hoped to perform better work In
assisting the common good of the coun
try, and to check nativistie encroach
ments, and assist In safeguarding the
present friendly relations between Amer
ica and the Fatherland.
The alliance, as such, refrains from
mingling or interfering with American
party politics, reserving, however, the
right to defend Its principles in case
such should be endangered by political
measures. Another portion of the con
stitution of the organization provides for
the introduction of a recommendation
that the German language be taught in
the public schools as contained in the
I following resolution; "Along with Efg-J
' Nervous women should profit

During the evening an orchestra of 15
pieces will dispense music during the
entertainment, and will also play for the
dance to be held at the conclusion of
the stage programme. Among the fes-
tures of the entertainment will be the
appearance of Herr. A. Pacully and his

tragedians, who will render a selection
from one of the popular German dramas.
This play will be rendered in German
as is the custom of the company at its
regular weekly appearances at the Lyric
Theater.
The male chorus of the Arion Singing
Society, the singing section of the Port

the Helvetia Singing Society, will assist
In entertaining the crowd. Mr. Klee
