For the first time since his trial be
gan, eight days ago, Edward H. Martin
this morning shed tears. His brave and
oftlmes smiling demeanor melted away
as Attorney Seneca. Fouts pleaded for
the Ufa of his client, and the accused
man bowed his head and wiped his eyes
as the lawyer declared that he had told
a manly lie to the detectives to keep
from his wife the knowledge Jhat his
scratches were received in a place whera
he was ashamed to tell her he had been.
But it was only for a minute that
Martin lost his composure. Meantime
hla wife, with downcast eyes, avoided
the stares of those whose eyes had been
momentarily directed to her as the at
torney rererrea to Martin s story or nis
diseracerul exploit in the north end. A
few moments later Martin was chatting
as though nothing had disturbed him
and resumed the attentive, unemotional
attitude he has from the first preserved.
