mrs. MARTIN, HELD
IN SNEAD MURDER.
DECLARED INSANE
CONTINUED from First rage.o

days. He can either heal the testi-
mony that will be adduced by Mrs.
Martins lawyers himself or can i'm
panel a jury of twelve men. 1t is
probable that the latter move will be
the one that is taken.
In any event, the sanity trial will
assume all the appearance of a regular
trial, as the prosecution will nave to
c-ross-eXamine witnesses produced by
the defense, and in all probability will
be compelled to put witnesses, experts
and otherwise, on the stand to make
their contention that Mrs. Martin is not
insane stand good.
The petition of DR.. Wardlaw and
Mrs. Spindle follows in full:
