During his trial and the time he was in Jail at Midland he did not deny the commission of the crime, but went over the details of It with a number of people who- visited him In Jail. After he was placed In Jail at Abrtene, however, he denied it, and has at all times since maintained his denial. Since the commission of the crime he has persistently denied that he was 17 years old at the time. The evidence offered by the State as to his age was a stenographic report of evidence given by Martinez six months before, that he was then 17; also evidence that a short while before the murder he sent out invitations to his eighteenth birthday party.

Martinez was apparently of a considerably higher class than the average Mexican found in this part of Texas, of considerable lighter skin and well educated, both in Spanish and English. Prior to his arrest he had been used a number of times in court as interpreter in cases where Mexicans were witnesses. His manner since his arrest has been rather stoic. TANGO DAN8ANTE TONIGHT.
