MARTIN JURY STILL OUT
THE FATE OF THE SHERIFF. AND
HIS DEPUTIES is IN DOUBT
Charge of the judge Read to the
Jury-Disputed Points in Tesu-
mony Left to Them for u Decision
The Material Issues.

WILKE1SBARRE, Pa, March S.-The
arguments for the state and defense
in the Martin case We're concluded this
afternoon, the judge read His charge
and the jury retired to decide the fate
of the sheriff and his deputies, charged
with murder, as the outcome of the
Lattimer tragedy.
Judge Woodward kept the court open
tonight until o'clock, when,n the jury
decision had been reached. he ad-
jCurned court until 10 o'clock tomor-
row morning.
In his charge to the jury, the judge,
after reviewing the evidence In the
case, the laws governing murder cases
and the rights of employer and en-
ploye. said in summing up:
After careful examination of all the
testimony l am prepared to say the most,
II not the only material questions in re-
spect to which the witnesses differ in their
statements as to the occurrence at Lattimer
are:
First, as to the number Of men who sur
rounded the sheriff after his effort to ar
rest one Of the strikers.
Second, to the firing, was it continued
after the ranks of the strikers had broken
and were In retreat. did it cease when
the volfey was fired?
those of the killed and wounded who were
shot in the back received their wounds
while in the act of running away, and from
shots delivered after the main volleys had
been fired. 1t is claimed by the defendants
that the evidence shows that the firing end
ed with the volley while the strikers. or
some Of them at least, We're still advanc-
ing toward the line of the deputies And
that those of the strikers who received
wounds in the back were among those who
surrounded the sheriff when he made the
arrest. and was pushed from the main road
to the ditch. one side of it.
The orders of the sheriff were not to fire
unless he gave the word, or unless his own
life was in danger, and he was so situated
as not to be able to issue an order-or un-
less the deputies themselves were in danger
Of losing their own lives by an assault upon
them.
The settlement Of these disputed points
by the jury may be important, upon the ques-
ton whether the posse commitatus, origi-
nally legally constituted body, did or did
not become an unlawful assemblage by
reason of any subsequent determination to
disregard the law and commit crime.

WASHINGTON, March 8. Three
weeks ago tonight the Maine was blown
up. AS it was last week at this time,
so 1t is now, nothing is known officially
as to the cause Of the disaster The
court is at work hard, that is all that
is known at the navy department.
1t is not known when it may be ex-
pected to finish it's work. But the i'm
portance of it's report does not diminish
in the slightest degree by the lapse of
time and in the midst of diversions
caused by more recent happenings, the
more thoughtful officials have not lost
sight of the fact that when the report
of the court Of inquiry comes to the
navy department in the hands of some
trusty naval officer, probably Lieut..
Commander Mark himself, the Judge
advocate of the court, the government
may be face to face with another and
vital issue.

THE RED SNAPPER.
Market of the Country Is Practically
Supplied From Pensacola.

From the New Orleans Times-Democrat
When a guest of Chicago hotel orders
red snapper and is delighted with the palat-
able dish that is set before him, he does
not know that the fish has probably been out
OF the sea for ten or twelve months, but
such Is often the case. The guest never knows
the dlnerence, however, and only after he has
visited Pensacola and called on Sewell c.
Cobb, or some Of his men, does he under
stand how it all happens
Mr.. Cobb has just ended a visit to
this city. He is interesting man.
He can tell more fish stories
than any one ever dare repeat for he is the
very origin of the best fish tales in the Gulf
states. He owns twenty-four fishing smacks.
which is more than any other one person can
boast of on the gulf, and perhaps more than
but few other men. can talk about unless ii be
some of the veteran shippers on the New Eng
land coast, who do nothing else than make
semi-annual trips to Georges Banks and to
st. Pierre 1t may not be generally known that
all the red snappers for New Orleans come
through Pensacola. The same is true of Chi
cago. Mr.. Cobb was once mayor of Pensa-
cola, until he found that he could make
more money running fishing smacks out to tn,
grounds and supplying the markets of the
United States
That port practically has a monop
oily on certain kinds of fish, and for
this reason it has been necessary to invent
the system by which the fish can be kept in
cold storage for an indefinite length OF time
oftentimes year having elapsed from the
day the finny specimen was hauled in and
