time and opportunity permitted. The fol- lowing year he went to law school in Albany, N. Y., from which he graduated in May, 1869, and was admitted to the Bennington County Bar the following month. He practiced law in Londonderry from that time until January, 1882, when he moved to Brattleboro, where he con- tinued the practice of law until he was appointed United States judge in October, 1906. Appointed United States attorney by President Mckinley in 1898, re-ap- pointed by President Roosevelt in 1902, and again in 1906, and was serving his third term when appointed United States judge. It will be observed that he studied law with Judge Wheeler, later was United States attorney for the District of Ver- mont where Judge Wheeler was the pre- siding judge, and at Judge Wheeler's de- cease succeeded him on the bench. For about 18 years has been director Vermont Mutual Fire Insurance Co .; director.

Judge Martin's po- litical career began with his election to the Legislature as representative from Londonderry in 1874, which town he rep- resented for the next succeeding ten years, the last six years of which he was speaker of the house of representatives. In 1892 he represented Brattleboro in the Legis- lature, declining to be a candidate for speaker, but served as chairman of the judiciary committee and second on the ways and means committee. Was states attorney for Windham County 1874-6; commissioner of taxes under Governor Dil- lingham 1888-90, and under Governor Ful- ler 1892-4. Judge Martin has presided at many important trials since his ap- pointment as United States judge, among them being the sugar cases, so-called. In the winter of 1907 there came to light frands by the sugar trust against the gov- ernment on a scale bigger than any frauds on the revenue since the whiskey frauds of a generation ago. The government first secured restitution of over $2,000,000 and then proceeded criminally against all the living participants in the crime, who reached from dock-laborers, who worked the physical fraud, up to Charles R.
Heike, the secretary and treasurer of the sugar trust. The trial of these cases had national importance, and focused national attention upon Judge Martin. The cases involved complex issues which were hotly contested by able counsel, and the trials were of long duration. Convictions were secured against all defendants (except as to one, about whom the jury disagreed). But an even more strikingly important fact, in the history of important criminal prosecutions in this country, is that all the convictions in the cases presided over by Judge Martin were sustained on ap- peal.
