"Schountx" Martin Loses Leg Beneath
an Electric Car.
A somewhat serious accident oc-
CURED yesterday shortly after dinner
in which well-known character, CON-
monly known as "Schountz" Martin,
had his left leg seriously hurt, the
lower part of which was amputated.
"Schountz" was aboard electric car
No. l07 on his way to the West Side.
He had IN one hand pail of paste and
under the other arm roll of show
bills. When the Car neared the bridge
he attempted TO alight without waiting
for it to stop. His foot slipped. he fell
to the ground, and his left leg went un-
der the front wheel, crushing it above
the knee and mangilng it at the ankle.
Lieut.. Hurley was on the car at the
time and says the conductor and mo-
torman We're in no way to blame. The
ambulance carried the unfortunate
man to st. Marks hospital where he
was cared for. Martin was the only
support of an aged mother, and has
worked for Geo. NJ. Leonard for the
past ten years. The name of the mo-
torman is Dick Bird and the conduc-
tor, Warren Sturgis.

In the Criminal Court this morning Mr..
Taylor as counsel for Abraham Coleman. in
dicted for setting up a gaming table, said he
had been urging a trial and suggested as
upon conviction he would get no more than a
Jail sentence and the court was about to take
its summer release. that he be released on his
personal recoynizance. He stated that Cole
man was charged with setting up sweat cloth
on the Long bridge, ard he was not clear that
the case came within the law.
The court suggested that the party had been
but short time in Jail, and AS he would be in
the city III the latter part of the month and
early part Of August the application be then
renewed.

In the trial of Il. C. Duncan for murder at
Carnavon. Wales, yesterday the prosecution in
sisted that there was no ground for the plea Of
INSANITY made by counsel for the defense. Dun
cams action, according TO the prosecution,
showed tina, the prisoner had planned crafty,
premeditated murder, and that failing to drown
his wife he intended to murder her in some
other way and then escape to the United States.
Counsel for the defense replied that United
States specialists in insanity had examined
Duncan two years ago and had declared that
his mind was unhinsed. Consequently these
physicians advised the prisoners relatives to
have him confined in an asylum. Duncan's
friends however, preferred to send him to Eu-
rope in the hope that change Of scene, life
and climate would have beneficial effect upon
him.
