SUGGESTION Made to Lieutenant Mar
tin Surprises the COurt-MnrtiaI.
NEW YORK, June 6.-The prosecution
in the court-martial trial Of Lieut.. Ed
ward H. Martin, Of the Fifth Artillery,
brought its side of the case to close at
Fort Hamilton today. When the court
convened Lieutenant Martin, for the first
time since the beginning OF the trial, was
absent, and adjournment was taken until
afternoon.
Lieut.. NJ. G. Spinks, who as military
counsel is associated with Edward II.
Jones, civil counsel for the accused man,
said afterward that Martin had become
nervous on Tuesday night and showed
signs of breaking down in the ordeal
which he was undergoing. Martins ILL
ness. it was stated. began after he re-
ceived word that the woman who had
called herself his wife had been arrested
Tuesday afternoon in raid on an Eighth
Avenue pool room Of which she is alleged
to be the proprietress. BY advice OF his
counsel he refused to discuss his alleged
marriage or the arrest of the woman.
In opening for the defence in the after
noon counsel offered special plea. saying
he could show that Martin had so weak
he was not able to keep his accounts ac-
curately. When Martin was treasurer of
of post exchange at Fort Hancock counsel
declared, he was not morally responsible
for inaccuracies in his accounts.
Major James b. Burbank, commanding
the Fifth Artillery at Fort Hancock, tasti-
fled that Martin once told him he was
addicted to the use of morphine. Surgeon
E. r. Porter, who succeeded Martin as
treasurer of the canteen at Fort Hancock,
said Martin had told him that he was a
morphine victim. and the witness fire.
quently noticed him as apparently under
the influence Of the drug. When Martin
was accused of forgery and asked the
witness what he should do he advised him
to plead guilty and then get his political
friends to go to Washington and intercede
with the President. Martin paid over
$1,000 to square his canteen accounts. and
of this amount 1910 was returned to him.
Counsel for the defendant asked Surgeon
Porter what he meant by the statement
that he advised Martin to have his polit-
ical friends go to Washington and inter-
cede with the President. Surgeon Porter
replied that he meant that If Martin had
pull enough the President would white
wash the charges so that he might be
able to remain in the Army. This state
meDt surprised the court.
