Martin Arguments In Howard Bank Hearing
The hearing in the Martin case proceeded at 2 PM in the council chamber with General Martin's counsel A E Pillsbury presenting a two hour plus argument. Prosecution counsel Mr. Doherty and Mr Chaplin followed as the judge reserved decision. Pillsbury defended Martin's public service, attacked the charges as misframing and urged that third party actions should not remove a public officer. He argued the land sale and spring enterprise were legitimate and that liquor dealers were not intimidated into stock purchases.

Pillsbury Defines Business in Bank Director Case
Pillsbury argues the word business is broad and outside roles do not break the statute. He says General Martin’s main work was chairing the Police Board while his shoe business preceded the bank directorship and remains his legitimate activity. He invokes Governor Greenhalge’s view of common sense construction and notes Martin has spent substantial time on the Police Board.
