MARTIN WANTS LIBERTY
w
Says He Is Cured of Drug Habit and
Does Xot Want 15-Year Sentence
Given Attorney Fouts Grills
Detectives and Prosecutor.
Edward H. Martin, convicted of
manslaughter in connection with the
brutal murder of Nathan Wolff, wan
denied a new trial by Circuit Judge
Cleland yesterday forenoon. The court
held that the technical imperfections
charged against tho trial of tho case
were not a sufficient basis for a new
trial. Five days were allowed In which
to file a certificate of probable cause.
Martin has suffered a change of
heart since his conviction and Is ndw
intent on getting out of jail if there
is any possible way of doing so. He
no longer relishes the term of IS years
imposed hy the court, averring that
he is already cured of the cocaine habit
and wishes to make something of him
self. He is still at the County Jail and
will not begin serving time at the
penitentiary until all question of a
new trial is removed.
Feneca Fouts. as Martin's legal rep
resentative, names two reasons for a
new trial. The first Is that two city
detectives went with the trial Jury to
the scene of the murder and talked
with them about the gruesome crime,
thus possibly influencing their minds
against Martin. Deputy District Attor
ney Fitzgerald is also accused of hav
ing gone to an unlawful extreme in
telling the jury, during final argu
ments, that "I would not be here try
ing this case if I did not believe this j
man guilty of the muracr 01 Hainan
Wolff."
Fouts asked that he be allowed to
file affidavits in reference to the visit
to the Wolf pawnshop of Detectives
Hellyer and Price, while the jury was
there. Mr. Fitzgerald protested that
such an affidavit could not be filed at
the last minute and presented without
giving the state an opportunity to an
swer. The affidavit was ruled out.
An important ruling occurred In con
nection with the case when. Mr. Fouts
called attention to the fact that Mar
tin was held to trial on an information
returned by the District Attorney's of
fice whereas the law specifically re
quires that an indictment by grand
Jury must be returned. This law went
into effect after Martin was informed
against and the interpretation of Its
effect haa been varied among lawyers.
Judge Cleland ruled that the infor
mation was returned before the new
manner of procedure became operative
and that Martin was clearly held for
trial by due and regular processes.
Otherwise, the Judge said, all the pris
oners In the County Jaiil could be re
leased on habeas corpus proceedings.

XLOVELY PICTURE OF WIFE
Austrian Recites Cruelty, Wife Al
leges Non-Support.
Bad-tempered, ungovernable, quarrel
some, nagging, lazy. Improvident and
'actually dangerous. That is the word
picture Martin Sarlc draws of his wife,
Anfla Sarlc, in a divorce complaint filed
with the State Circuit Court yester
day. In proof of his charges Sarlc re
calls one occasion when she chased him
out of their home at 760 Hood rtreet
at the point of a butcher knife. On
another occasion, he says, she drove
him entirely out of the neighborhood
by use of rocks weighing from six to
eight pounds, which she hurled at him
with great violence.
As a husband he has always been
kind, mild and faithful. Saric says.
But on the subject of his wife he is
, volcanic in his denunciation. They
were married at Dalmatla. Austria, Sep
tember 27. 188$. he says, and now have
five children, the eldest a girl of 17,
the youngest an Infant of two months.
Saric says she Is getting worse with
age. and that he is actually afiaid to
go near her. Not only does she abuse
him In a high-handed manner, but she
refuses to do the housework and un
lawfully detains their young son from
attending school, the complaint sets,
out.
Shortly after the complaint was filed
Mrs. Sarlc retaliated by filing a charge
of r.on-support In the County Court.
She accuses Saric of having entirely
failed to provide for her and for their
children.

EARLY GAYS SHE RETOLO
GRANGE CELEBRATES ITS 4 1ST
ANNIVERSARY.
At Commemoration by Evening Star
Grange State Iecturer Is
Again Chosen Master.'
Besides celebrating the forty-first
anniversary of the founding of the
Patrons of Husbandry yesterday, the
annual election of officers of Evening
Star Orange No. 27 was held in the
hall on the Section Line road. Be
tween 200 and 300 members and vtsltois
were present- during the day and at
the exercises in the afternoon. State
Lecturer J- J- Johnson, who Is also the
master of Evening Star Grange, de
livered the address on the establish
ment of the Patrons of Husbandry,
which he said was founded in Wash
ington, D. C, by men who were not
farmers, but men who had studied out
a plan to better the conditions of the
farmer. "Father" Kelly, the real
founder of the order, was mentioned.
Mr. Johnson then gave a brief review
of the rise and progress of the otder,
which he said was rapid for a few
years after it had been established In
four states, so that in 1S73 there were
more than 10.000 granges in the United
States, and in Ohio alone there were
over 100.000 members. Then came a
reaction, in which the order lost
ground, which, the State Lecturer said,
had been more than made up. He de
clared that the order had become a po
tent factor for the general betterment
of the farmers of this country, and at
present was on a firmer basis than
ever before and wielded a powerful
influence for the good of the whole
country.
Following the anniversary address by
State Master Johnson, Mrs. H. L. Vail,
lecturer. conducted an educational
hour, which waa followed by the elec
tion of the following officers: Master,
J. J. Johnson; overseer. Miss Wilda
Buckman: lecturer, Mrs. H. L; Vail;
stewaid, E. J. Spooner; assistant stew
ard. Carl Emery; secretary, Mrs. M. M.

Is under way. The Masters and Lec
