Manslaughter verdict in Stevens case reaches jury
Jury returned with a verdict after deliberating on whether Martin should be vindicated or found guilty of manslaughter or second degree. The testimony included James Georgeoff’s statements about Stevens striking Mrs. Martin, which the jurors found did not support. Martin faced an additional first degree assault charge connected to the shooting of Kaliff on February 22, 1925, an incident linked to divorce proceedings shortly thereafter. Mrs. Martin’s divorce filings, including claims about marriage at age 16 and a daughter, were discussed but dismissed.
