MARTIN CARTER SR.
DIES AT RINGSIDE
Excitement OF Prize Fight Causes
Collapse of Alameda County
Millionaire

Overcome by the excitement incident
to the Ketchel-P Papke battle for the
middle weight championship of the
world Martin Carter Sr., died within
twenty feet of the ring yesterday after
noon.
Accompanied by his son Martin, Car
ter went to the Mission street arena
yesterday afternoon. apparently in
good health, although he had been suf-
fering with heart trouble for some
years. The fight had progressed to the
third round when the announcer called
for a physician.
Several responded. and they were
hurried to the side of Carter, who had
fallen during the excitement, and
worked over him for about a half hour.
They then had him carried to the dress
ing room of Stanley Ketchel, where he
expired just before the pugilist. flushed
with victory, returned from the ring.
With his protner 1nomas, Martin
Carter came to California from Canada
35 years ago and settled at Sacramento.
They became interested in the North
Pacific Coast road, and in 1879 estab-
lished a car building plant at Newark.
Several years ago, when his brother
died. Martin Carter retired. and since
then devoted his time to his beautiful
ranch home, the Nutwood stock farm
near Irvington.
Carter is survived by four sons, one
of whom is druggist. Frank Carter
of Oakland. Mrs. George Lowry of
Centerville was foster child. Martin
Carter was 60 years of age. and his
wealth is estimated at more than a
million dollars

PARIS. Nov. 26.-Paris has been in
a state of intense excitement today
over the developments that have come
thick and fast since last night in the
Steinheil murder case and the sensa-
tion has made itself felt even in the
chamber of deputies. where many mem
bers declared they would raise the
question unless the government under
took to probe the scandal to the bot
tom.
Nine. Steinheil made confession to
two newspapermen last night. She de-
clared that a man named Alexander
Wolf was the murderer of her husband.
Wolff was arrested and examined by
the authorities. He denied all guilt
and said he was ready to prove an alibi.
Nine. Steinheil then weakened and said
If it was not Wolff the man who did
commit the crime resembled him
