A 44-CALlBRE GUN
Taken from Aged Critic Of Court In the
Mrs. Martin Hearing.

Newark, n. j., Nov. 17.-There was
a somewhat exciting interlude today in
the hearing on the mental condition of
Mrs. Caroline B. Martin when a man
of about 70 years of age, whose peculiar
conduct excited the suspicion of the
court attendants, was seized by them.
A fully loaded 44-calibre revolver was
found in his pocket. His name was
said by the police to be Oliver Mat
thews of this city. Court officers
learned they said, that he had been
for sometime an inmate of the Over
brook Insane Asylum. He will be re-
turned to the institution.
The man had asked for Mrs Martin,
who is one of the surviving Wardlaw
sisters indicted for the alleged murder
of Ocey w. NJ. Snead, and brought a
bouquet of roses and carnations which
he said he wished to present to her.
IF there was any such delay in the
South as there has been in this state"
he declared, both the judge and law
yers would be shot" 1t was this re-
mark which led the court officers to
suspect the aged mans mental sound
ness and led them to seize him. He
afterwards disclaimed any intention of
using the revolver and said he did not
even know he had ii with him.
The examination of witnesses in the
Martin case was continued.

resolution presented to the convention.
The Carriage and Wagon Workers In
ternatiOnal Union of North America,
in a petition to the Federation set forth
the decline OF the carriage and wagon
building industry and stated that 1t
was due TO the automobile and the

Other resolutions which have been pre-
scented to the committee and which are
causing discussion among the delegates

Ben Turner said the British industrial

He also told of the need for better
child labor laws in England and of the
movement for compulsory education and
free lunches for poor school children.
