FINDS SLAYER'S
PARTNER GUILTY
.Waynesboro Burglar Is Con
victed With Members of
Family at His Side
Waynesboro, Pa.. Dec. 19.—Sitting
near his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Sam
uel Marts, of Waynesboro, and be
side Mrs. Florence Graft, now of
Baltimore but formerly of this town,
Irvin Martz, charged with burglary
in connection with the blowing of
a number of safes in Frederick last
October, heard a verdict in Fred
erick court return a verdict of guilt
against him.
Martz, alleged yeggman, was a
companion of Clarence Wallace, who
was shot and killed a few days ago
by detectives in Santa Barbara, Cal.,
while resisting arrest.
The courtroom was packed with
people from every section of the
oountv, and as the jury filed in with
a verdict. Judge Worthington warned
against a demonstration.
When the foreman said "Guilty,
Mrs. Graft, with whom Wallace and
Martz boarded and who testified for
the latter, swooned.
The trial attracted the largest
crowd since the famous Pittinger
murder case. The parents of the
prisoner, the latter's two sisters and
brother and Mrs. Graft were among
the early arrivals. The prisoner, in
charge of Deputy Sheriff Benjamin
Shaw, took-a seat beside his parents
and the family held a whihpercd con
versation untif the case was called.
Before the jury was empaneled
Former State's Attorney Samuel A.
Lewis, counsel for the prisoner, asked
that the case be removed to another
countv, claiming that on account of
public sentiment against him, the
accused could not secure a fair trial
in this county. The motion was over
ruled and Lewis then asked that the
prosecution be stopped on the ground
that the defendant furnished infor
mation from which Wallace had been
located in Santa Barbara, and killed.
The court denied this motion, but
pave the defense the right to renew
the motion in the event Martz was
found guilty. _ ..
The conviction of Martz and the
death of Wallace constitute the final
chapter of one of the boldest rob
beries ever committed in Frederick,
followed by the murder of Leo M.
Creager.
