Read Testimony

OAKLAND. March 16.--Mrs. Isabella
J. Martin, under indictment by the
grand jury for dynamiting the home of
Superior Judge Ogden, was formally
arraigned before Judge Wells of Contra
Costa county today. Before she could
plead guilty or not guilty Attorney A.
L. Frick interposed and asked to have

March 25, which was granted. He
waived the reading of the entire indict-
ment after he had been furnished with
a copy and also with a copy of the tes-
timony given before the grand jury.
Mrs. Martin appeared self-possessed
to a remarkable degree. She greeted
District Attorney Brown effusively as
an old acquaintance, as she stood beside
him at the rail in front of the bench.
She also nodded to Assistant District
Attorney Hynes and recognized other
officials of the court as friends.
She was dressed in a brown suit. with
a loosely fitting coat and her hat was
a shining feather creation of moderate
size. When she appeared on the street
in front of the county Jail to go into
court she wore a wide fur turned UP
about her face, which was further pro-
tected with a heavy blue veil. conceal
ing her features.
She tried TO hide behind Deputy Sher-
if Liese and Matron White of the coun-
ty Jail when photographers swarmec
about her. The heavy streamers from
her hat which formerly floated' man.
feet behind her when she appeared or
the street, and which were obviously
part of her attire. were absent today.
Attorney Frick said that he repre-
sented Mrs. Martin only for the pro
ceedings today. as he had not yet beer
retained to take charge OF the entire
case.

himself with another certificate from

from this physician stating that the
