It formed a complete circle so far as It went, the gap being between the time that Martin bought the ahtrta and that the blood-stained one was found by Golta, Then a statement aaid to have been made by Mrs. Martin was Intro duced, to the effect that Manln bad worn a brown tie on the day of the killing of Wolff. It waa a brown tie that waa rouna in wonts non The officers teatlfled that the, collar found la the same alee aa Martin a. annougu be denies this and says there la a sise difference. The missing point the vital defect In the state's case thus far. Is that no one "has been found to Identify Martin aa being In the Wolff store at the time or just prior to the murder. Al Field say a be was tn the shop at 6:30 on the night of the murder. He saw a man walking up and down outside the shop, on the walk, looking in the windows. The man finally opened the door and stood waiting In the shop, r Fields went over to the Jail to Identify , Martin as the tnan. but was unable to do ao. He atatea that Martin resembles htm, but he-cannot awear that he la the man be aw In the shop at 6:30. It mas not anything unusual for a customer to, be In the ahop at that time. Field's man waa of Martin's build, wore a dark suit of clothes, which he saya la very similar to that worn now by Martin, had his coat collar turned ud and his hands In bis pockets. Field aid further that the man had no col lar on, which would Weaken the assump tion that the man waa Martin. From the standpoint of the police the Important phase of this is that the man "generally resembled Martin." "y.'''f--, 1 Had Ug-b Overcoat. But ha had no overcoat and the po lice are- trying to ahow that . Martin wore a light overcoat the one discov ered by an ambitious cop the other day tn a vacant lot, covered with something that looked like blood. Again the state's chief Identification outside of the shirt Is the collar and necktie and Field thinks his man wore no collar and tie. Anyway Fields will be questioned by Mr. Stevenson this afternoon to find out what he knows and may possibly be called a a witness by the state. yields himself declare that at no time baa -he said Martin la the man tie saw la the "Wolff shop and declares that he waa horribly misrepresented In a story printed la a local newspaper to that attest,' -y ' 1W I Captain.

"It Is true that Captain Baty tried to force me Into confessing this crime by withholding morphine from me," be de clared today. "I regarded It at the time as merely the efforts of a man who was wrapped up In bit business to procure what he wished. I hear that the police have denied the charge, however, and I think the truth -should be told. Baty and Tiohenor did tell me that I could not have any morphine until I confessed the crime. They also told me that as soon a I would tell them about It they would let me have an I wished." Chief Grttsmacher waa quite shocked st the idea of withholding morphine from Martin. He said he didn't want the man to die and waa sure that Gap tain Baty wouldn't do such a thing. - It la a fact, however, that Martin was f iven no morphine until night before last, when Dr. Ziegler, fearing ha might go crazy, gave him three pelleta.

May 8 The richest woman in the world Mrs. Hetty Green an nounced today that she would give up her luxurious apartments in the Plaza. It was not the cost, she said,, but "the disgraceful notoriety" that has fol lowed her removal from her simple Ho boken flat to a princely suite in the Plaia. Mrs. Green looks at It in this way: The newspapers have devoted great space to the fact that a sensible, strong minded woman, like the famous woman financier and banker, has suddenly thrown her purse open. In a gentle, Joking way, it has been made to appear that Mrs. Green has switched from the most frugal of Hoboken simplicity to almost oriental magnificence In - her manner of living. Consequently, people are beginning to think that she has no more regard for filthy lucre than - the Gaikwar of Baroda or the Kawab .of Rampur; Fleets of would-be borrowers -are cruising about Mrs. Green's bank.
