Martin came to his death December 29 by « bullet shot from a revolver in the hand of HH. J. Erickson, said shot being fired by Erickson for the defense of him welf from an attack by Martin and two unknown conspirators. We ex onerate Erickson.” ‘The bullet passed thru Martin's abdomen and came out his back.| After the second shot, the hold on Erickson’s neck was relaxed, he testified, and he stumbled to the ground from his driver's seat, ewitch- ed the revolver into his right hand and fired thrice more as he ran to wards Madison st. to phone for the police.

Erickson mid he took the three men into his cab near midnight and | was told to proceed to 28th ave. and) Valley et, but it waa not until he| reached obra ave, that he grew ot | piclous of his fares. “I muddenly realized.” he nid, | that 28th and Valley st. was a pretty dark place. I had thought when the three men got into the cab that one of them was Jack rtin. He had been pointed out to} me once after a fracas at Pier 1) as the leader of a gang that had beaten up several taxi drivers. He was not greatly surprised, then, he said, when, after crossing when he reached down to) hind, an arm was paesed arouyd his! neck while a hand grasped his right wrist, and some one of the three men said: “Shoot him. Shoot him," as scrmething that felt like a revolver barrel was pressed against his neck. Expected to Be Shot “I expected to be shot any min ute.” he testified, “I twisted around when they told me to turn out my lights and grasped my revolver lying on the seat beside me. I told |them I'd have to have one hand {ree to open the door. They hed asked me to let them out They) freed my left hand. I jerked around and shot into the cab, Then I shot again.” As he leaped from the cab, he) said, the glass door on the opposite side was smashed by the men and they jumped out as he ran. He summoned the police, returned to the scene of the shooting, where Martin lay dying and turned over his revolver to a police officer, “You say you knew Martin war a gangster who had beaten up several taxicab drivers?" asked a member of the jury. “Did you ever have him arrested?” | “No,” replied Brickson. “We never | were able to get real evidence, He) always had three or four men with him, while we only had one to tell our side of the story.” Reads Police Notes Phil Gertin, a police stenographer, read notes he had taken while Mar- tin lay dying in the city hospital. Martin said he was unarmed, and had never carried a gun in his life. He refused to tell the name of his two companions, denied he had planned to hold up Ertekson, and said the whole matter was union trouble, ask- ing of his questioners: “What the hell is this? Are you giving me a third degree on my death bed?” “What were you doing in the ing ories of “My God, help me.

C. Dalton from the lips of anxious wiv and husbands, fathers and mothers, who are just beginning to inquire into their marital status, Thousands Mistaken “There are thousands of pé@ople in Seattle who are not husband and wife in the eyes of the law, yet who believe themeelves to be such,” Dalton said Wdnesday. “The law's many quips and flaws make many honorable people in reality violators of its statutes. “Technically hundreds of Seattle people, happily married, and having chitiren, are guilty of bigamy and their children are illegitimate, “It iy difficult to place an exact or even nearly exact figure on the number of mon and women thus situated. Laws Not Uniform “By an opinion of the United States supreme court, what is a di. vorce in one state is not a divorce in another, and what constitutes a legal marriage in one state, ts bigamy in another. “For instance, if a womafl should get a divorce in the courts of thi state from a man who is not a resident of this state, and who is not personally served, it is only in Washington that the divorce would be recopnized. “As long as she stayed here, Divorce Proctor Asserts d Folks Here Are Not Legally Wedded would be well. But should she ven- ture out of the state, her former husband could lawfully claim her as his wife, “And if she had married a time :a Washington, as soon oo a left the state she would be liable to imprisonment for bigamy and the *ecod marriage could be lawfully — annulled on the grounds that she had never been divorced from ner first susband. * “When both parties are residents of this state, then there is no such hitch, The divorce ts recognined ins every state, “Another fallacy that ‘oe renders many marriages illegal, is te mistaken belief that sea captaine are authorized to marry, No Marriage at Sea “There is no authority for practice 4. the laws of Washington, They cxpressly state that only. aa ordained minister, priest or rabbi, @ juége cf the supreme or superior court, or a justice of the peace in his own county, are authorized to perform the marriage ceremony. “Yet many couples think that they can be married ‘by a sea cap | tain at any time, The law makes no such provision, “These peculiarities of the law in many cases make honest marriages, io reality, iegal. “If the prosecuting attorney should phony ji choose. to prosecute psa who are situated thus, the Jail full of naar homes would be Pryraryey by what jaw would call illegal hundreds of blighted with sonata,
