POLICE ARREST GATE CRASHER
ROY MARTIN, FARMER OF KINGSLEY, TAKEN WITH GUN IN HIS POSSESSION
Police indicated Friday forenoon they will release Roy Martin, 32,
Kingsley, without charge, although he is said to have had a revolver in his
possession Thursday night when arrested at Ninth and Pearl, says the Sioux
City Tribune.
Martin, police said, accompanied a party of about thirty men from
Merrill, Iowa, to Sioux City. The group tried to "crash the gate" at the
night meeting of the Sioux City Milk Producers association in the Armory,
but were turned away.
It was reported they came to Sioux City after attending a brief Farm
Holiday association meeting in Merrill.
When police refused to admit the men to the milk meeting they
congregated in a lunchroom across the street from the Armory. As the milk
meeting adjourned a squad of police entered the lunchroom and proceeded to
"shake down" the group. All were permitted to leave after being "frisked"
except Martin, who was taken to the police station.
Martin was one of more than 100 men arrested last May when the Iowa
National Guard occupied Plymouth county under martial law. The troopers
later released Martin without charge.
Questioned by police and Sheriff Ralph E. Rippey, of Plymouth county,
Martin is said to have admitted a scar over his eye is the mark of gun
wounds received in the highway battle just west of Sioux City last February
3, in which R. D. Markell, milk trucker, was fatally wounded.
A charge of carrying a concealed weapon was filed by police against Ray
Martin, 30, of Kingsley, who was arrested at the Armory after police found a
revolver in his possession. Martin was arrested during a meeting of the
Milk Producers Association.
