Follows witness Closely.
Little that was new was brought out
while DR.. Beling was on the stand.
Mrs. Martin listened intently to every
word. but made very few comments.
Once in reciting how Mrs. Martin had
told him of Ocey Snead's habit of con-
stantly writing stories that she hoped
to sell, DR.. Beling read "she always
wrote on baby paper
Baby blue paperi" scornfully cried
Mrs. Martin at DR.. Being, who aver
heard of baby paper?" DR.. Bellng
smiled and said he had misread his
copy.
Fort Roundly Rated.
Mrs. Martin, in her talks with DR..
Beling kept up her TRADE against
Franklin w. Fort, who took charge of
the case when Miss Virginia Q. Ward
law was arrested following the finding
of Ocey Snead's dead body in a bath
tub in East Orange on November 30,
1909.
A laugh rippled through the court
room when Mrs. Martins statement
II occupy these quarters by the press
ing invitation of Mr.. Forts father" was
read.
This had reference to her cell at the
county jail and was brought out by the
fact that Mrs. Martin lac refused to
waive ~extradition proceedings when ar
rested In New York city on December
Is. 1909.
Declares Herself Innocent.
Following an hours reading of dry
testimony, DR.. Beling told of a talk
with Mrs. Martin in the jail on October
rs. Reading from the typewriter
statement, he told of asking Mrs. Mar
tin If 'she felt she was in the shadow
of the electric chair"
Mrs. Martin then said to the doctor:
IF the truth is told 1 have no fear of
the electric chair. You cannot send a
person to the electric chair who Is in
nocent. Mr.. Mott IN others are per-
juring themselves to ser me there, but
their lies will fail. Therefore, l am not
afraid of the electric chair.
II have no fear of the truth. If it is
established I will be found innocent"
Then followed a long dialogue on her
family affairs.
Asked by DR.. Hicks the direct ques-
ton, D you consider yourself sane?'
Mrs. Martins reply was: Eat times l
consider myself the most sane woman
New Jersey. But / know my family
at times think / am not.
IF 1 am to come to trial for the
murder of my daughter 1 want to come
as a sane person"
DR.. Beling wound up his long state
ment with the quoting of this state
ment from Mrs. Martin:
My daughter, Ocey Snead, was a
victim of the morphine habit had
often threatened suicide. On that pitt
full day in East Orange Ocey Snead
took a larger dose of morphine than
usual. and then. going into the warm
bathtub, was overcome and drowned"
