DISMISSAL OF
APPEAL L10VED
Attorneys 'for State' Attack
, Suff icieiicy ot ' Murderer
3Iartin's Petition.
On the ground thai no showing ef
error In tbe trial of Edward IL Martin
for th murder of Nathan Wolff has
been made by his attorneys. Deputy Dis
trict Attorneys Fltxgerald and Page
have filed a motion in the supreme court
asking that the appeal be dismissed.
The two state's attorneys argued the
matter before the supreme court two
days ago, basing their contention largely
on the fact that the defendant's at
torneys failed to file a bill of excep
tions. John A. Jeffrey, chief connm I
for Martin, was unable to go to ralem
because of a damage suit on trial lit
the -circuit court here in whlchtie was
engaged, but he lias .secured an extension-
of 20 days in 'which to rile his
answer to the argument of the state.
Jeffrey takes tlia position that a bill
of exceptions is not needed In the ease,
the points on which-he hinges the bp.
peal being covered in affidavits and
records that have been certified to the
supreme court. 1 - '', .
If the state should win Its motion. '
Martin would be forced to at once be
gin serving the 31 year sentence Im
posed 'by Judge Cleland on his convic
tion for manslaughter, r ,. , .
