other which from our childhood we
have heard was grossly unwholesome
and opposed to all medical advice,
that thing certainly was Christmas

Washington, Dec. 9.-The subject

Kuchenbuck and his daughter were
standing back of the soda water coun-

three feet from the big show window.
Both had their heads below the coun-

they did not notice the approach OF the

The circumstances surrounding the

Martin was seen and with whom he

At about II o'clock Saturday night
Martin, with Neal Scanlon, was drink
ing in Fred Shakels saloon.
So far as can be learned no one saw
either Martin or Scanlon from the
time they left the saloon until Mar
tins body was discovered on the in
terurban tracks by Oscar Frye, just
before the car ran over it. Frye. in
attempting to prevent the car from
running on the PROSTATE form, lighted
three or four matches and ran toward
the body, hoping to be able either TO
flag the car or to remove the body
from the track. But the car came
too rapidly and the body was horribly
mangled. The corpse was placed on
the car and brought TO this city.
Whether Martin was dead before
the interurban car ran over him or
is something which Coroner Peters
dorf has been unable TO ditcover so
far The body is so badly mangled
that it is impossible to discover any
other injuries than those inflicted in
the car accident.

ments the Durflinger girl gave on the
witness stand, she also convicted Ro-

On the witness stand Cecil Durflin,

told of the checkered career she had
led. 1t was a disgusting and heart
rending recital which cannot be put
in print. The girl stated that Mrs.

continue her life of shame. None of
