ARGUMENTS BEGIN
in MARTIN TRIAL
Accused Woman Will Remain
Seated While Making
: Talk to Jury

OAKLAND. Dec. 20.-A sigh of relief
went up in Judge Wells courtroom this
afternoon. when Mrs. Martin announced
that she had no more evidence to offer
in her defense against the charge of
dynamiting Judge Ogden's home As
sistant District Attorney Hynes put IN
little testimony in rebuttal and the
argument to the jury began.
Mrs. Martin will address the jury
from a chair. Mrs. Martin said she was
tired and could not talk well and
wished to reserve all her strength for
her effort.
The letter addressed to her, signed
John Moy, which declared that the
writer and not Mrs. Martin was guilty
of making Baby john Martin blow
up Judge Ogden's house, was not in
troduced in evidence. Mrs. Martin
fumed yesterday because the latter had
been withheld from her when 1t arrived
her at the close of the days session
and told her to put 1t in evidence If
she wished to. Mrs. Martin was given
to understand. however. that If she did
testimony would be given to show that
she wrote it herself
In his opening argument Hynes
laid especial evidence on the youth of
John Martin at the time the crime
was committed. He was a boy with
curls. entirely under Mrs. Martins in
nuence, Hynes pointed out to the jury,
and not the big man who testified.

garten pupils in the east. This will be
taken Thursday to the city hall for the

council today follow:
Whereas, we,S the members of the Berkeley

send building, one of the oldest in the
city, which stood in the path of the
Southern Pacific railroad 20 years ago,

The building formerly was owned by
Mrs. NJ. Townsend, who objected to the
coming of the railroad and endeavored
to maintain her stand by force of arms
even after the town had given the cor
poration a franchise to cross her prop
erty.
For several days she held the land
by shotgun rule until Marshal George
Schmidt by a ruse coaxed her away
