Martineau in Local lail; Protests Probation JEFFERSON-Mrs. Beth Martineau, 60, Palmyra, who surrendered to authorities here Friday for probation violation, was transferred to the Rock County jail at Janesville because there is no full-time matron at the local jail. Mrs. Martineau decided to spend 30 days in jail rather than fulfill terms of probation set by Circuit Judge Henry Gergen when he sentenced her in connection with firing a rifle at a boat she claimed was trespassing on her property. Before she surrendered herself, Mrs.

Martineau issued a statement which said in part, ''The usual printed conditions of a probation paper reduce the one who signs it to a level below the toleration of human decency." Mrs. Martineau signed a probation paper which included a ban on keeping a gun inside her home. "For me there will be no less freedom in jail than living under this kind of restriction" she said. The program will be devoted to questions on rituals. "Free Design Service" 1620 N.
