Bolt dofctiBo ploa, and nre rcfutpfl by
testimony netting forth that thoro
wbs no mark In tho snow under the
bush IndlcAtlng tbo gun had been
thrown, nnd thnt Hubbard, had ho
been In tho net of reaching for his
Kim would htiYo had bin nrm nnd hand
Bhnttnred hy tho bullet that killed
htm. Martin claims Hubbard was
In tho act of drawing his gun when
ho fired, nnd la refuted by Conatable
Irwin.
.Martin's Story Contradicted
Investigations by Deputy District
Oamo Warden Sam Sandry, show
that Hubbard In falling, had he
drawn hln gun would hnvo heaved
It back or to tho right. Ho was
Btantllng on n nlopn when ktlod. To
havo thrown tho gun whero It wns
found It would bo to the left und
across his body. There Is also tho
medical theory that tho reflex nrtfonJ
of tho miiEclcs hy a swift, sudden
death would have tended to canto an
object to drop, instead of being
hurled any distance.
Martin when first arrested was
careful to nnnounco that the gun was
under tho hush. After tho shooting
ho ordered Irwin to leave, and had
ample opportunity to arrange- de
tails fnvorablo to himself. Martin
possesses tho subtlo cunning of tho
woods, nnd from tho start to finish
of tho bloody tragedy dominated tho
situation. Though uneducated ho is
crafty and long dodging of tho game
laws gavo him artful experience.
Seeking Sympathy
Though firm, until arrested he then
began casting for sympathy. On the
way to this city ho cried bitterly and
told Deputy Wilson ho was sorry for
hts act and shot on tho impulse. He
said ho would not have shot had
Hubbard tried to reason with him,
instead of advancing. Martin aroused
considerable sentiment in tho captors.
In tho county Jail last night tho
slayer slept soundly, and his first re
quest this morning as to seo Attor
ney A. E. Reames.
The body of Hubbard was taken
to Ashland, his home, Friday night,
and held until funeral arrangements
nro made.
Only his tact saved Irwin from a
similar fato to that of his associate.
Ho did not return to tho sceno of
the crimo tho night of its commis
sion becauso ho was physically ex
hausted. Tho sheriff mado no offort
to reach tho sceno of tho crimo until
Friday morning.
Tho following is an Interview with
Prosecuting Attorney Kelly -who visit
od tho sceno of tho tragedy:
"Martin In custody by his own net
claims to havo a defense. Wo intend
that ho shall havo a fair trial and we
have nothing at this time to say of
tho merits of tho trouhlo between
Martin and Hubbard. I am glad that
I mado tho trip and had an opportun
ity to look tho ground over and the
Impressions that I gatnored at first
hand will bo of no inconsiderable
value to both tho stato nnd tho defen
dant in presenting the matter.
"Thero are two impressions that
nro current, however, that I desire to
offer an opinion upon. Tho first one
being the conduct of Officer Irwin
has been in tho police service in Jack
son county or a number of years and
bears a roputntion for honesty, Judg
ment and nerve that is woll known in
Ashland, whero tho greater part of
hts services havo been rendered, nnd
his conduct on this occasion vindi
cates his record as a careful, cool
officer. Irwin accompanied Hubbard
on this occasion without any know
ledge of the country or any intima
tion there was to be any serious or
desperate conflict with anyone At
tho tlnio of tho homlcldo ho was
mounted a little In tho rear of Hub
bard, Ho did not know Martin or his
reputation and his sudden and tragic
nppoaranco was entirely unexpected,
Nor was thero anything in the man
ner in the meeting of Hubbard and

tho situation for himself nnd .Semi-official announcement Is
.... .- - - -- ,
ARMORED
Martin to havo nrounsed the slightest any prejudicial
suspicion of the Impending tragedy. , against him."
"It appears that thero was n friend
ly salutation on tho pnrt of Hubbard
and a not unfriendly reply on tho
part of Martin. Deforo Irwin could
dismount or prepare himself for any
such contingency tho fatal shot had
been fired and tho slayer was domin
ating tho situation with a 20-30 rifle,
which had been reloaded in tho
twinkling of an eye. It was here that
Irwin's long oyperienco as an officer
saved
for Martin who would havo unques
tionably opened flro on him had It not
bcon for his coolness. And it is per
haps due to this fact that Martin has
not another victim and Is now a dan
gerous fugitive.
"Irwin Is not n woodsman and un
used to riding over rough trails on
horseback. That he did not return
to the scene of tho tragedy In the
morning was dun to physical Inability.
Ho is the solo witness to tho tragedy
and his keen observations taken at
tho timo will be Invaluable in deter
mining the merits of tho matter.
"The other impression to the effect
that Martin Is a dangorous and des
perate character, I believe, will be
more or less shattered when tho evi
dence is fully presented. I do not
know him personally but think that
his reputation is due largely to his
unerring skill with firearms and more
or less to his boisterous and boasting
manner. Ho readily surrendered him
self to the sheriff und gave this im
pression out over the phono that it
was his deslro long beforo tho arrival
of tbo offlcors. Tho sheriff and dep
uty are entitled to credit for tho
prompt nnd sano manner in which
his apprehension was accomplished.
In tho face of tho existing circum
stances and tho man's local roputn
tion this wob a task well calculated
to occupy their full time and atten
tion. "Tho purpose of my visiting tho
sceno was to secure evidence and the
result of my visit in thh) light has
bcon entirely satisfactory from my
standpoint. Coroner Kellogg and Dis
trict Game Warden Sam Sandry woro
both at the scene of tho tragedy and
tho result of their efficient evldenco
I am suro will be ovldont in the final
investigation of the matter."
"Tho defendant is in custody upon
his own Initiative and is entitled to a
fair and Impartial trial nnd tho grav
ity of tho charge against him should
entitlo him to the benefit of any rea
sonable doubt. Any statement an to
his character in provlous difficulties
he may have had with authorities of
tho law, if ho has had any, should
now bo passed. The Jurors of tho en
suing term should not bo biased by
