She was afterward removed in Adolph Roth's automobile to the Emergency hospital and where Dr. Wason dressed her wounds, and then taken to the Bridgeport hospital. Her husband was treated by Dr. Greenstein of the Emergency hospital staff and then was taken to St. Vim cents hospital.
 The police who responded to the alarm were Patrolman George North and Doorman James Halpin, who Griffis, Halpin Jr, and Ryan. They quickly ran down Martina and se- cured the witnesses names.
 Martino was arraigned in the city court this morning and his case was continued until the 22nd without bonds, pending the outcome of the condition of his two victims. Should Caputo die, the authorities will prob- ably press a charge of first degree murder against Martino.

DESTROYED MAINE
OffciaI Report Of Committee Investigating
Disaster Fixes Responsibility for Loss Of
the Great BattlGShip and 266 Sailors

The United States battleship Maine,
which sank beneath the water of Ha-
Vana hsrbor, Cuba, in February, 1898,
as the result of an explosion, was blown
up from the outside This was an
nounced on last Friday by the naval
board which has been examining the
wreck for many months past. The find
ing confirms the report of the original
Investigators who made superficial
examination of the wreck shortly after
the terrible disaster.
The statement given out by the NAVY
Department is trief. Secretary Never
does not believe it necessary to issue
any extended explanation of the boards
conclusions, beyond the fiat statement
that an exterior explosion was respon-
sible for the loss of the warship and the
lives of many men. The statement was
as follows:
The board finds that the injuries to
the bottom of the Maine were caused by
the explosion of a charge of low form of
explosives exterior to the ship between
frames 2s and 81, stroke B, port side.
This resulted in igniting and exploding
the contents of the six-inch reserve
magazine A14-M, said contents includ
ing large quantity of black powder.
The more or less complete explosion of
the contents of the remaining forward
magazine followed The magazine ex-
plosion resulted in the destruction of
the vessel"
Secretary Meyer announced that there
might be further statement on the re-
port of the board after it had been con-
sidered by the President. One member
OF the board was of the opinion that the
report never would be published in full,
but would be kept in the confidential
archives of the Navy Department. The
declaration that "a low form of expIo-
sive" was used in the outside explosion
indicates belief that a mine and not a
dirigible torpedo was the instrument of
destruction.
This only deepens the mystery of the
destruction of the Maine. A mine,
charged with sufficient gunpowder to
blow in the bottom of the ship must
have weighed several hundred pounds.
10 plant such mine and lay the cleo
tric connections necessary for its dis
charge would have required the SER
vices of a number of men.

FOR COURT OF APPEALS.
Predicted That Judge Henson viii be Can
dldat0 for Vacant Seat in 1914.

A gentleman here yesterday, who
watches Virginia politics rather closely,
made the prediction that Judge w. ].
Henson, of Roanoke, who presided for
several years as judge over the twenty
third Judicial circuit, would be a candi-
date for the vacancy on the Court Of
Appeals bench when Judge John A.
Buchanan retires early in 1914, as an
nounced from Richmond the other day.
Judge Henson's record as a circuit
Judge is said to be equal to that of any
lower court in the State, and he was
seldom reversed by the higher courts.
Judge Henson has a number of personal
friends in Graham who will be interest
ed In the prediction that he will receive
the appointment as a member of the
Court of Appeals of Virginia. Judge
Henson worked in Graham as a tele-
graph operator for the Norfolk and
Western before taking up law, and he
had the distinction of being an expert
brass manipulation while telegraphing
and some of his friends have regarded
his success as a lawyer as largely due
to his ability in having in early life ac.
quired the art of mastering the BRASS
Bluefield Telegraph.
