DR.. Martin Is one Of the best known

Improbable position in fashionable So

1T Is cowardly to bring me into this

about the accusations which Mrs.
Brokaw says her husband has made. II
Is true that Mr. Brokaw came to Baltl-

arrangements with me by telephone
from Lakewood TO undergo an operation.
They had been married in September OF
that year and were on their honeymoon
when he was taken Ill.
