Martin, now held in the city Jail, charged with the murder of Nathan Wolff on Friday evening laat, borrowed a 32 caliber . revolverpf a woman whose name the police arelth holdlng at 2 o'clock on Friday afternoon, telling the woman that he and aome friends were intending to have a little tafrgati. practice and that he would re turn the' weapon after he had finished With it. This Information was conveyed to the police this mornlner and a meeting oe tween the woman and Chief Orltz mactier was arranged- for this afternoon when the woman promised to tell her story to the police and put In their pos session all of the Information regarding Martin that she might haye in her pos session. Told of Target Practice. According to the woman's story, she has known Martin for some time and he has been at her residence- often. She had not seen him for some little time when he called at her home, supposed to be In the southern portion of the city, and told her that some of his friends and himself were going out Into . the woods, to do some target shooting. This was tat 3 o'clock Friday afternoon. Martin, while at West Point, was known as one of the best revolver shots In the academy and his reputation fol lowed him to Portland. He had, It is said, often discussed revolver practice with the woman who is now. telling of having loaned htm the revolver Friday, and therefore when he made the re quest for the weapon she paid but lit tie attention to the matter. reared to Tell Polio. It was not until ' after Martin had beon connected with the murder charge that the woman remembered having loaned the revolver to him and then she was loth to believe that he would be Implicated in such a fiendish crime. After having read the newspaper ac counts of the capture and examination of Martin, however, the woman became convinced that he had used her re volver to commit murder. She then was afraid that should she tell of having loaned the weapon -ehe would - be brought Into the case In some way, and for that reason hesitated until after he had consulted with friends. Upon their advice she declcftd to tell the po lice all she Knew or tne circumstance. The woman Is muoh worried over the notoriety which will accompany her en trance Into the case, and for that rea son is keeping her identity concealed. Sh. however, will be one of the Impor tant witnesses for the state at the trial. and perhaps at the preliminary hearing. and It is expected that her story will go a long ways n fastening about Martin in noose or tne law.

WIlll'S STORY OF HIS CAREER Buoyed up by a dose of "dope," Mar tin yesterday afternoon proved a worthy opponent to District Attorney Man ning's examination. Throughout the hour'a stiff gruelling he maintained a calm demeanor, the only indication of nervousness being a shifting of tha hands and shoulders when the district attorney fired some unusually compli cated or direct question at htm. Martin said he came to Portland a year ago laat October with his wife. His father, Hugh Martin, ltves in New York and is a retired real estate broker. With his wife he Is at present traveling In Eu rope. The accused man said he came from Syracuse, New York, where he lived but six days. It was there that he was married. Previous to going to Syracuse be was in Atlantic City for five weeks, and prior to that he lived In New York, his birthplace. He said he graduated from Weit Point In '98, having been ap pointed by the president in '84.

Martin repeated tola denials of guilt for th murder of Nathan Wolff t a Journal jDorter this morning. Martin went further and aa,'A that ne would be able to prove an alibi, but with th strong circumstantial evidence against tha man in the, pos session of the police his denials eetn pitiably- weak.

Into the dreadful habit. Promises an Alibi. "Wrecked in health and mind; trem bling and nervous with the muscle of the face twitching violently, Martin sits in a cell on the third floor of th police station a terrlbl example of the effects of drugs. In disconnected sentences Martin denied his guilt and aid that he would be able to. prove an alibi. But his endeavor to explain where he had been on tha night of the murder of Nathan Wolff was a poor one. It lacked coherency, and a the man rambled through his story with Jumbled words and stammered state ments It was evident that he wa not telling the whole truth as he will be re quired to do when placed under path at the time he Is on trial for his life. jnamn was unable to speak more than a few words without being tuea- uuuea w sua mm witn his statements. He talked cheerfully of his college days and then turned his conversation In an Instant to a delected narration of bow he became a "dope fiend." From sunshine to clouds swept the mind of the prisoner and then he would ask for morphine that he might be able to eat flll I palfen that Martin became addicted to tlTTi yellow fever. While sick he waa given the use of drugs. Ha foucht the San Juan campaign and contracted rough cocaine, and he says he has been using druga ever since. .Studied Medicine Hare. ' After his marrlace In Syracuse and after a shqrt period spent In the east he came to .Oregon, where Tie began a short course of medicine In the Uni versity of Oregon. He stated that his father sent him a small weekly allow ance while he waa studying medicine. The examination then shifted to' Mar tin's next move, which was to enter the employment of the city as chalnman In the city engineer's office. Martin waa telling of taking the civil service examination for city sealer of weights and measures when District At torney Manning shot the Question: "Where were you May 1?" Martin had been-lolllnr in his chair and answering all Questions easily and promptly, but at tnia; query ne straiKntenea up, snmea his hands for a moment, then said slowlv: '"Well.

Fawned His ' Watch. "When did you first meet Nathan Wolff?' asked Mr. Manning-. "When I first came to Portland I took a watch to him . and pawned it.1 answered Martin calmly. He then stated that the last time he had seen Wolff wa about two months ago. these two occasions being the only ones on which he had visited the- pawnbroker. "What room did you Kill Wolff lnr The Question came like a thunderclap from -a clear-sky. -If the prisoner felt viy - nervousness ha controlled it well. Possibly there was a alight twitching of the body. That waa all. "Mr. Manning. I did not kill Nathan Wolff," said Martin. He voiced the answer In an unusually Joud ton of voioe. Well, you might as well confess. I've got you In a hole." t You haven t arot me In any hole, and I'm telling everything I know just as it happened." came the response. "Where 41d you get those marks mu your jaw," asKea tne attorney, it was ilalnly apparent that - Martin parried or time on this question. "Well, about five years ago "Oh. no those marka are fresh." in terrupted Mr. Manning. Martin then said he misunderstood the question, thinking the scar on his left. temple was referred to. Thl scar must have been Inflicted several years ago. Boars on zrecx. Martin said the scars on his neck wero caused bv the family cat last Saturday. . According to his story his wife brought home some chops and he found the Cat on the table trying to get away with them. When he at tempted to (rrab her sh sunk her fangs In th thumb of his riht hand, and as he went to throw her around she iumned for his neck and inflicted the three or four deep scratches there. A wound of two Inches In length on the top of his head, just at the fringe of 'hair on the forehead, Martlri accounts for by say ing the hatchet slipped while ha was outline wood one day laat week. City Physician Zlegler, after an ex amination of the wounds said that they were about three 6r four days old. The wounds on the neck, he says, could not have been inflicted by a cat MARTIN ALONE; POLICE NOW SEEK MISSING CLOTHES The police are now seeking to find the coat, vest and hat worn by Martin on the night Wolff was murdered. They also want to find the place where Mar tin secured the new coat and vest he wore when he returned home at mid night. Martin's confession to selllnt his revolver to a pawn-broker on Thin street and his denial of having another revolver Is regarded skeptically by the police, and a search Is being made for the weapon with which wolrr waa shot before he was so brutally chopped and beaten. All day long the police have worked on many clues to find the missing clothes an,d revolver, and are searching all over tho north end of the city to rind them. The ract that the bloody shirt was found on Flanders street has caused the detectives working on the case to believe that the missing arti cles will be found between Morrison street and Flanders and between Third street and the river. It is possible that Martin threw his hat, coat and vest In the river after tying a -heavy rock to them In order to be sure they would sink. According to Mrs. Martin, the prisoner told her that he had left his clothes in a saloon and. that he would get them and show them to her. He went away and never returned to his home. Captain Baty stated this morning tnat ne was satisried tnat Martin was tha man who killed Wolff, and said that all that remained to complete the case against the prisoner is to find the coat, nat, vest ana revolver, captain Baty scouted the idea that anyone aiaea Martin in Killing wolrr and de nied that he war searching for second person. "That anybody was with Martin when he killed Wolff is all foolishness. Martin did the work and we are" not looking for anybody else," said Captain Baty. HARD-DRAWN STORY MIGHT NOT HOLD BEFORE THE JURY "Will Edward Martin confess to the murder of Nathan Wolff or will he de mand a trial?" la the question being asked by everyone around the police sta tion today, as they think of the man confined in a cell on the third floor. Physicians and police officers who are acquainted with the action of the terrible drugs used so freely by Mar tin say that If the "dope" Is kept away from the fiend he will eventually admit that he killed Wolff In order to get th drugs. They say that a man who has been regularly addicted to the use of drugs and finally becomes a slave to them will make any statement In order to secure them. If this is done in Martin's case and he confesses to the brutal murder many persons say that such a statement would not be accepted aa evidence in court. These men say that even if the court did allow such testimony to stand, that' no Jury would ever convict Martin on a statement obtained while he waa de liriously calling for drugs to relieve the cravings to which a "dope fiend" Is subject All day the officers have waited for Martin to tell hia story. H was sick at his stomach because he had not had any morphine or cocaine and was a pit iable object to see. - He began asking for the drugs about 9 o'clock and it will simply be a question of time in th mind of the officers connected with the case until he confesses to the bloody crime. Strict orders were given by Chief Gritzmacher that no one should be al lowed to talk to Martin about the case. They want to let the man meditate upon the crime and "sweat" until he Is ready to confess. Were Martin an ordinary man instead of one nossesalna- r rni education It Is believed that he would have made some kind of statement be- lore mis nour. tablets called Sartatas MAETIN DID NOT STOP AT THIRD V '; STREET HOTEL r l; ajBSjBjassjsssajsaaaasaBasas , Th manager- of th Washington ho tel, at th corner of Third and TJandera street, says that all Mm guest on rri aay night ar acoounted for, or person ally known, and h I certain that Mar tin was not In th house that night.

The catandlr compound I the product or -the laboratories of th Glebe Pharmaceutical 'Co. of Chicago, and it and tha other ine-rsriffinta n obtained from any well-stocked drug store.

My stomach Is unsettled and I am sick now. As soon as they bring me sonio morphine I will be all right and able to sleep and eat. No. sir, I never saw Wolff oh, yes, I pawned my watch there, but that was when I first camu to Portland. Do you suppose that they will bring me some morphine soon?" And thus he rambled on. Jumping from one topic to another he continued his talk. He enjoyed the Interruption of the monotony of the long night spent In silent meditation of the crime that brought him a prisoner to the city jail. At times his words could not be un derstood. He mumbled them and his mouth and lips twitched convulsively In his endeavors to impress upon his auditors the fact that he was innocent of the most fiendishly brutal murder ever committed in Portland. "I was not down town from five min utes to five until about 8.30 o'clock Friday night I was in Sellwood," said Martin "Who waa with you?" he was asked. "Well, I now you see I defy any body to. Drove that I was down town at the time Wolff was killed. My wife says that I came home at midnight. Yes, I came home about midnight ' Cannot Conoaivs of Murder. "Martin, you were drlnkinar whlakev Friday in addition to taking morphine and cocaine. At times such a combina tion of stimulants has been known to cause men to lose remembrance of where they have been anrl what thev have done. Have you ever been in auch condition th' t- you did not know what you were doing?" he was jKed. "No, I don't believe that I waa ever in that condition." Martin replied. "Well. don't VOU think It nnlhl that you killed Wolff while in such con dition that you did not know what you were doing?" was th next question. t cannot conceive, that I committed the murder.. I cannot concalva ii-h a thing," replied Martin. How He Became a Slav. Martin was then asked aueatlons about the scars on his head and hands, and told about the same general atory In regard to them that he told th dis trict attorney yesterday. The same was true in regard to other details. All statements were given freely so far as the prisoner's scruples were concerned, but the words were uttered so unintel ligibly at times as to be indistinct Martin told of contracting the drug habit. .He said that he had gone through the Santiago campaign, had fought at San Juan hill and was finally taken down with yellow fever. "While suffering so severely that I could no longer endure the- pain one of the surgeons gave me morphine to ease me. That was the start. For four years I did not take anv other rirnsr than morphine. Then I became so bad and took tne dm it In such la rep nuantltlea that 1 had to take cocaine In addition to morphine to relieve the effects of morphine. "Wo Our for the Tlend."

He spoke about his earlier years, and said that his father had been a police com missioner In New York City, and later was a real estate dealer, until he re tired several years aaro. Martin's father and mother visited Portland last year. While a trifle more nervous than yesterday. Martin looked much better this mornlne- than he did after his ex amination by Manning yesterday after noon.
