a piece of fuse 11 feet long and a pint
bottle of sulpharic acid. Unlike the
former Infernal machine, this one was
not primed. Air the necessary materials
except the percussion caps were there,
but the acid was not in a position to
F?t off the charge. • The boy explained
that it had been concealed hurriedly
and that the fuse and acid were not
to be primed until the bomb was
actually placed beneath some one's
front porch or gate to blow him Into
•>t«Tnity at the will of Mrs. Martin.
FORGE EVIDENCE CHAIX
The box in which tha. dynamite was
packed was 18 Inches long, 5 Inches
high and 12 inches wide. It was
picked up gingerly by Detective Hodg
klns and carried to the city h*l t< where
It now forms a carefully guarded ex
hibit In the detective captain's office.
"With the bomb found at the Martin
home In West street it will be used as
en exhibit when Mn. Martin Is placed
on trial In this city and county.
The finding of thl* last cache by
"Baby John" almost completes the
chain of evidence which in the. opinion
of the authorities forms a prima- facie
case of attempted murder and wanton
destruction of property by Mrs.#lsa
bella J. Martin. Deepite this fact Cap
tain Petersen said this afternoon that
he was not yet certain whether the
woman would be brought back.
The Martin home at 1534 West street,
where the first box of dynamit* was
found nearly three weeks ago, was
\u25a0 gain searched today. "Baby John"
did not accompany th© officers who
\u25a0went there. He will be olosely guarded
during the Martin prosecution. All ef
forta to interview "Baby John" today
proved fruitless. .He Is In the custody
of the matron at the city prison.
In one of the valises the lad carried
on his Journey here from the north
was the mechanism of an Infernal ma
chine the boy said had been made by
Mrs. Martin, and this, with the two
bembs, will form the principal part of
th« sensational exhibits at the trial.
OGDE\ TO DC ACCTJSEn .
It Is almost certain that Mrs. Martin
will be placed on trial In Oakland, and
J udge Frank B. Ogden, against whoso
life the first attempt of the Martins
was made unsuccessfully, stands ready
to make the necessary complaint and
Information which will shortly be pre
pared by the district attorney's office.
This will probably be done before the
Vr.d of th« week, and when District At
torney Hall returns to Weaverville h«
will be accompanied by an officer from
this placa carrying the requisite papers
to bring Mrs. Martin here for trial.
Mrs. Martin has asserted repeatedly
that there was nothing she so much
desired as to be allowed to return to
Oakland and face her accusers. Al
though they will not officially say that
this Is to be done, Donahue. Petersen
and Hodgklns join In saying:
"We cannot te.ll you yet. We want
to be «ure we have enough evidence
before bringing her back. It Is our
Intention to bring her to Oakland as
•oon as we get this evidence and we
believe we will get It."-
Upon hi* arrival at tha city hall this
morning "Baby John" shook hands cor
dially with Captain Petersen, Chief of
Police Wilson, Captain Lynch and other
officers whom he had met personally
long before h« was taken north by
Mrs. Martin. •
"Baby John" looked anything but a
baby. Larger and more* manly looking
than moat boys of his age, he has a
confident. Intelligent face, and his eyes
meet those with whom he comes into
contact fearlessly and full in the face.
His manner Impresses itself upon the
observer as that of a youth strong In
will power. There is no sign of worry
or excitement In his fine, clear cut fea
tures, but a trace of sadness Is visible.
He takes all things as a matter of
course, and philosophically views the
trend of .events which are slowly but
Eurely revealing the story of his strange
lite.
Assistant District Attorney Donahue
when asked today for further Informa
tion regarding the ca&e replied briefly:
. "I am not In a position to discuss
publicly tfie results of the trip to
\u25a0\Veaverville, or anything else. I will
make my report to District Attorney
Everett J. Brown, and to no one else.
Hodgklns will report to Captain Peter
sen, who has full charge of the Martin
case. So far as the county officials are
concerned the case Is wholly In the
hands of the Oakland police from now
on. We, of course, will lend what as
sistance we can, and we will all work
together to ona end. I believe 'Baby
John' to be a manly boy; certainly he
has gained the respect of his elders be
cause of his truthfulness and manly
actions In tb« fac« of great trouble to
himself."
TEIX3 OF MORE DYXAMITE
G. D. Burbank, a butcher who rents
a chop In West street near the Martin
home. Bald today he believed the Mar
tins have a rocm filled with explosives
.In the house at 1634 West street Ho
said today that Mrs. Martin once told
him to shoot any one he found trying
to enter this storehouse and, she would
protect him In the act. Burbank said
that he and a policeman had tried to
foro« an entrance Into this room, but
efter forcing the lock they found the
entrance barred by three heavy iron
oars, which had been screwed across
the door on the inside.. Whether this
storehouse exists, as suggested by Bur
bank, probably will be learned by the
polic* tomorrow. Nothing was removed
from the Martin house today. i

DESERTERS ESCAPE
IN STOLEN LAUNCH
Men From Goat Island Lead
Exciting Chase Across Bay
, at Midnight
Frightened by Hot Pursuit They
Surrender After Few Hours
of Liberty *
Breathless and frightened by the wild
excitement of a chase across San Fran
cisco bay shortly after .midnight: yes
terday, in which a launch crowded with
armed men hotly pursued but a • few
hundred yards behind them, two sail
ors from the training station at Yerba
Bucna Island escaped and , lost them
selves in the lower -portion of the
city, only to repenl and surrender
themselves into federal custody yester
day afternoon. . - "" ;.i
Chaflrig under the -strict naval disci
pline in force at the island, the sail
ors, known to .their;' comrades as
"Dutch" and "Shorty," started the flres
in a launch belonging to the training
ship Pensacola shortly, after , midnight
Tuesday and made the run through the
fog across the bay to the Clay street
wharf, but a short -distance ahead of
a launch from; the training ship In*
trepid, 5n which was ft detail "of armed
men under.- instructions^ to recapture
them at any cost.
: So close wfts. the chate that the two
deserters left .their' launqh at Clay
street with Its boiler . white hot and
ready to explode; and only the prompt
action of Sergeant Tof Marines Leo
Flumm»r, i ln charge at the- wharf, pre
vented the catastrophe; Flummer pulled
the fires of the launch Just in time
to save It from .destruction.
The two pallors, both ot whom* are
firemen, slipped out of their beds . in
the middle of the night and got steam
up on the Pensacola Jaunch. lying at
Yerba Bu ens. wharf. Acting Quarter
master Davis 'discovered them before
they left'-the island,- and. In response
to his inquiry as to \u25a0" what - they were
doing on board the launch : at that
hour of the night, was told that they
were repairing some broken pipes. A
few minutoa later the launch shot out
from th« wharf, beaded for -San Fran
cisco, and Davis gave an alarm which
resulted in a general k call- to; arms.
The launch of the Intrepid was quick
ly manned by guard Sergeant Bowers,
Corporal Stahlburt, Fireman W. A.
Wright and OfflcefiOf the Deck Connell
and started In pursuit. Instead of land
ing at the Washington street wharf,
where 'the navy launches \ generally
touch, the deserters Bteered. their boat
to the Clay street wharf. In the mean
time Sergeant Flummer ; was notified
of the escape by telephone, and hearing
the launch pull In at th^ Clay street
/wharf, ran there Just in time to see the
two fugitives running down the street.
He hurried to the deserted launch, to
find that the boiler w,as entirely out of
water and that a hot fire was burning
beneath it. Flummer raked out the
fire and saved" the launch from an ev
plosion that would have occurred with
in a few minutes, arid then joined the
pursuers who had Just landed:, at the
Washington street.wharf.
All efforts to find the two deserters
were futile during the ' night and all
day yesterdays until about 4 o'clock In
the afternoon, when the men surren
dered. A reward of $100 each for their
capture already had been offered Jby the
authorities at the training station.
After their arrest the men were taken
aboard the Pensacola and placed Jn
double irons. Commander Capehart
refused last .night to divulge their
names or to discuss the i attempted de
sertion. ' Shipmates of the two firemen
aver that they have become discontent
ed because of having had to work extra
hours since the arrival of the warships
now In the bay and because of an'order
issued recently cutting short the time
allowed for shore liberty. .• *

however, that Grandfleld received the:
