the investigation into her mental con-.
Idition began, occurred soon after her
examination as witness was begun
by Judge Ten Eyck, behind closed

that she was 'the victim OF a con-
spiracy and surrounded by bribed law
yers and cons.ables. and that an effort
was being made to railroad her to
prison. Then, so violent did she be-
come, her bonnet slipped from her head
as she threw papers she had brought
to Jail on the floor and kicked them
about All efforts to quiet her were
futile, and finally Judge Ten Eyck
conducted her to his private office,
there to try and reason with the in
furiated woman.
When the courtroom had been clear
ed of all but the judge, fou1. lawyers,
SIX doctors and the stenographe, the
examination of Mrs, Martin was begun.
She refused to be sworn and didn't
take the witness stand Judge Ten

she was born. She replied that she
didn't know. Then she was asked
what her fathers name was. and she
replied that she did not remember. In
reply to the Judges question as TO

Colonel" then hesitated ana SAT-,

Colonel Robert NJ Martin.
