LENT MARTIN
PISTOL FRIDAY
Edward H. 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.

two occasions being the only ones on
which he had visited the- pawnbroker.

The Question came like a thunderclap

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-

And thus he rambled on. Jumping
from one topic to another he continued
his talk. He enjoyed the Interruption

In silent meditation of the crime that
brought him a prisoner to the city jail.

"No, I don't believe that I waa ever

t cannot conceive, that I committed

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

but the words were uttered so unintel

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
