I CONTEST ON REWARD IS GOING MERRILY ON Special to The Tribune. OGDEN, Nov. 11. The taking of testimony in the Joseph Henry Martin reward case, now on trial in "Judge J. A. Howell's division of the district court, proceeded throughout the day without reaching an3thing like an end of the case. G. W. Blair, a detective of the Pinkerton agency, who accompanied accom-panied David Edwards on the memorable memora-ble Seventeenth street trip November 9, 1913, was on the witness stand when court was adjourned for the dav. As the case proceeds the twenty-three twenty-three claimants of the $3500 in rewards have resolved themselves into four distinct dis-tinct factions. The factions which seem to be aligned against each other and against all others are the Pinker-ton Pinker-ton detectives, headed by David Edwards; Ed-wards; a coterie of private citizens, headed by G. W. Culver, one of the victims vic-tims of the blackmailers; the police and sheriff's forces, and four privato citizens of Morgan.
