Bleeding profusely from a flesh-wound
In the throat and two cuts on each wrist.
H. K. Martin, who la engaged in the oys
ter business, was taken to the police sta
tion last night by Patrolman Uullls.
There he Informed Captain Moore that
he had boon assaulted by a thug with
a knlfs at Twenty-seventh and Thurman
streets, and after a fearful struggle for
Ufa, during which ha received his
wounds, was struck on ths Jaw snd
knocked Insensible, afterward being
robbed of til. -
Ths circumstances, ths police assert,
abdicate clearly that Martin is not tsll
) t the truth. ' When Patrolman Bullls
discovered him. the alleged victim of
the holdup was very svastvs in his an
swers to questions, and accompanied the
officer unwillingly to the station. Ths
nature of his wounds tend to show that
they were Inflicted by himself with sui
cidal Intent or were received in an en
counter In which hs was facing Ms as
sailant. MarUn was sent to Good Samaritan
hospital, and Defectives Snow and Ker
rigan were detailed by Captain Moore to
make an Investigation.
Martin was -until four 'days ago en
gaged In the oyster business as an em
ploye of the Toke Point Oyster com
pany. Since then, he Buys, hs has been
In business for himself. Tbe police as
sert that hs Is an ex-prtxeflghter and a
handy man with hla flats. His story
follows:
"1 was st ths St Helens saloon, four
blocks from where I was held up, snd
lsft there with a young fellow with
whom I played a game of pool shortly
after 1 o'clock. He left me a block awsy
from ths saloon. It was not so dark
when I reached the corner of Twenty-
seventh and Thurman streets that I
could not make out objects plainly.
"Suddenly a man reached over my
shoulders from behind. I did not hear
him comma, but as soon sa I felt his
arm on my shoulder caught the glint of
a knife. There might have been more
than one man. My wrists were cut as I
raised them Instinctively to struggle.
Then I fait ths knlfs at my throat. Im
mediately following the wound In ths
throat I received a blow on ths Jaw and
want 'down and out When I recovered
I found til missing from my pockets.
I wandered around awhile In a dased con
dition, and was blooding so badly
thought I should die.
"When I reached ths end of the car
line at Twsnty-nlnth and Thurman
streets I met Policeman Bullls, and he
accompanied ms bars. I haven't ths
least Idea who cut sad robbed ma"
An examination of Martin's throat
wound at ths police station showed It to
bs located under ' the chin and across
ths "Adam's apple," about three Inches
long and half an inch deep. A white
handkerchief which bad been tied around
the neoh we saturated with blood, as
was ths front of ths man's shirt, coat
and waistcoat
Both wrists were gashed on the back
In two places. ths wounds being a
quarter of an Inch deep and two Inches
long. The wounds pn eaen wrist were
parallel. What leada to ths suicide the
ory la ths fact that all the cuts on the
wrist ore an Inch above the edge of the
shirt-sleeve, which was not cut on either
arm, showing that ths sleeves must
have been drawn back before the In
juries were Inflicted. If Martin at
tempted suicide, it is probable that hs
changed his mind and decided not to die
after using the knife on himself.
Not only did ths alleged victim of
highwaymen glvs Patrolman Bullls
evaslvs answers and show a disinclina
tion to go with him to the police station,
but he had hardly stepped Inside the
building when hs wanted to leave. He
appeared cool and collected, rolled and
smoked a cigarette while telling his
story, and at times smiled when ques
tions were asked him.
Hs gave his address as 48 tt First
street, saying hs occupied room It.
