With Sensational Incidents.

Boston. April 1T was a succession
of sensations yesterday at the opening
day OF the hearing on the charges
brought against the character and con-
duct Of General A. +. Martin. chairman
of the board OF ponce commissioners.
Massachusetts has not had a hearing
for many a year that has excited so
much public interest as has this one. The
Importance of the case is best empha-
sized by the personnel OF the tribunal,
for NO other than his eXcellency the
governor, Lieutenant Governor Murray
Crane and Messrs. N. II. Ryder and A
j. Josiin of the governors council are
the investigators.
Il propose to stand by my sons until
DEATH" was the statement made by the
general which caused probably the great
est sensation, especially coming as ~
did after his admission that he knew
that his son, Everett, had accepted
$4,000 from an Italian. promising therefor
to use his influence in procuring for him
a license. though the general also said
that as soon as he had heard of it he
told his son that he must pay the money
hack and keep his hands off liz the
future.
And then there was the testimony or
young Martin himself, admitting that
he had received money from people who
supposed him to have influence. or in
other words, pull with his father,
the understanding being that he should
procure for them the longed-for license.
But perhaps the most extraordinary
statement of all made by young Martin
was when he testified that he had $1,000
deposited in some other mans name and
he swore that he did not remember the
mans name or the name OF the bank, or
the street or which the bank was DO
Gated, though he said he had called; at
the bank at one time.
