Mitchell: Martha is a sick worsan'; he eoves into a mote I NEW YORK (AP)-Newsweek magazine said yesterday John N. Mitchell has walked out on his wife, Martha, after she staged a series of violent out- bursts, and has moved into a motel. Friends, quoted by the magazine, said Mitchell has told them Martha "is a sick woman," but he cannot bring himself to take the necessary legal steps to have her committed.

The magazine said the situation reached a climax last Tuesday just as Mitchell's lawyers were winning a postponement of his trial on charges of perjury and conspiracy to obstruct justice in U.S. district court.
