Loris Martin, Iayer of Oamc War

stand in his own behalf this morning
the sixth day of the trial and with
replies, to a dozen iiptinnfl nuked by
.his ntomey gave n version of tho
great tragedy in bin life. It was nn
impressive tale, for it was stripped
of all details. For having the blood
of n fellowmnn upon his hands Mar
tin pleaded self-defense.
Gone wnn the air of patient resig
