MARTENS MIND
Alleged Incarceration of Sane
Man

SAN FRANCISCO, March 24-Dr.
Arthur Marten, who is at present an in
mate of the Mendociro asylum for the in
sane as one dangerous to be at large,
appeared before the supreme court to-
day, to show why a writ of habeas cor
pus should issue releasing him from
custody. He appeared as his own attor-
ney. His principal contention was that
he had been committed to the asylum
without a proper examination, and in
support of his charge. he presented a
lengthy petition setting forth that Judge
Belcher, who committed him to the asy-
lum, acted upon testimony given when
he was not present to defend himself.
This action, DR.. Marten said, was ty-
rannical. as he was not insane and
probably meyer would be So" He al
legged, also, that his witnesses had not
been summoned. and, altogether, he had
been shown little justice or mercy.
In opposition to DIR. Martens petition
Assistant District Attorney Dunno. who
appeared for the officers of the asylum,
summoned Judge Belcher to the stand.
He testified that Marten had been reg
ularly committed, two lay witnesses and
two medical experts having been exam
ined, as required by the statutes.
1.-TWO of these witnesses. Officers Hol-
brook and Cody" said Judge Belcher,
''were examined in Martens presence
The medical experts were heard a day
later, when the subject was not present" :"
Drs. Wendell and Wadsworth, who had
advised Martens Incarceration, testified
that he had been regularly committed.
They both considered him insane. In
cross-examinins the witnesses Marten
got into several disputes with the court,
and as he refused to be silenced, it was
suggested that he get an attorney to
represent him. To this Marten agreed,
making first the point that he had been
calm and deliberate during the proceed
ings and had acted with every evidence
os sanity.
At the suggestion Of Attorney Dunno,
tie proceedings were postponed until
Tridoy. when Marten promised to be
represented by an attorney. In tho
meantime 1t was ordered that he be
kept in custody

Quite naturally and justly enough, it
is hard for the rising generation to &C.
cept the modern campfire content
eddy.
At the Home campfire on the
evening of the 9th of this month, the
anniversary of Appomattox and Fort
Blakely, "the last ditch" of the confed-
eracy, a little girl asked the writer:
"Mr. -, amt they goin' to light the
bonfre?" And he was obliged to an
swer, rather r~egretfully than otherwise
on her account, that he was afraid they
we're not.
On reflection he wondered if the lit
tie girl might not be more nearly right
than the campers, and if it might not
be we'll to light q "real, truly camp
fire" and keep the full promise of the
name. It's certainly worth thinking
of. X.
