COUPLE SEEK DEATH
!. UNDER TRAINS BY-PACT
Mrs. Martin Leaps Beneath Wheels, Dying nstantlyHer
Husband Is at Paterson Hospital Shockngiy MangIed
Having Stepped in Front of Another Train at Same Time

'cials If they knew what had become
of Martin, he received an amazing
reply They told him that on We'd
nesday morning, shortly before 10
O'Clock. Martin, while at his post in
Hackensaek, had walked behind one
train directly in front of another.
Only freak of fate had saved him
from being killed outright As 1t was
he had been terribly mangled. His
left leg had been almost severed and
he had sustained internal injuries.
The gateman had been brought to
the General Hospital, this city, where
he Is today. with a fighting chance
for life. His condition is such that
he cannot be told that his wife is
dead.
Martin and his wife have been an
enigma to everyone in the neighbor-
hood of their home. They avoided all
overtures of friendship and main
tained an unbroken reticence. They
were never nkown to have a visitor,
except one winter when a limousine
waited outside their home for an hour
and gave the neighbors material for
a weeks gossip.
On the few occasions when Martin
and his wife were overheard talking
together they used the most cultured
English. They were very loving, but
1t was noted recently that both
seemed utterly despondent.

Sentenced.
rFrom a stan corre.pondent.I

ELIZABETH, N. J., July 1.-THE
Rev. Willis S. MacRorie, pastor of
the Methodist Episcopal Church, Mt.
Horeb, who was convicted here on a
charge of wronging one of his girl
parishioners, was today sentenced for
the crime by Judge James C. Con-
molly in the Court of Common Pleas.
MacRorie was sentenced to serve
three months in the county Jail. No
tice was served on Judge Connolly
Immediately by former Governor Fos-
ter M. Voorhees,, counsel for the min
lister. that an appeal would be taken.
Judge Connolly fixed MacRorie's bail
at $1,000 pending the appeal to the
upper court.
The minister was accompanied to
court by his wife, who has remained
faithful to him and retained her be-
lief in his innocence all during the
trial and at the time of his convic-
ton. The woman had worked hard
for the acquittal of her husband,
him during the examination of the
witnesses.
Not even the testimony of Edith
Nelson. the girl he was accused of
wronging. in which she denied i'm
proper relations with MacRorie was
sufficient to convince the jury. The
most damaging evidence produced by
Prosecutor Alfred A. Stein was the
confessions of the minister and the
,irl .,,len the latter caused his ar
rest last November. A number of
letters which the minister wrote to
the girl and which proved to be
gushing missives, were also intro

WASHINGTON, July 11.-Speaker

said that Lamar gave him the infor-
nation. Lamar confessed the whole
tale was lie to force Morgan & Co.
to take Lauterbach back into their
employ. All of them disclaim any ac-
quaintance or communication with
me. Senator Stone justly and prop
erly characterized the Lamar -Lauter-

Morgan or any member of his firm

him or them in any manner whatso-
ever; never authorized anyone else to
do so. I was, to my best knowledge

casually to him or any of them. To
my best knowledge and belief, ] never
saw any OF them except Mr.. Morgan
himself, and that was across the large
dining-room of the New Willard at a
Gridiron Club banquet.
Il was, several years ago intro
duced to Lauterbach here in Wash

gentlemen. and passed the usual salu-
