NACK TELLS ALL (Continued from First Page.) various parts of Guldensuppe’s ‘corpse. Mrs. Nack said that when she went back to the cottage at 5 o'clock Thorn had everyibing tied. up in parcels, some ef them in the oilcloth that she had purchas- ed in Long Island City.? Wnen they were ready to leave the cottage she took one parcel and Thorn another. Hers contained Guldersuppe’s clothing and in Thorn's par- cel was the dead man’s head, which he had incased in plaster paris in the wash tub of the cottage. They went directly to a ferry—which one she did not know--and she went to the front of the boat ani Thorn stayed on the rear. Head Thrown Overboard. Soon after the boat was in midstream Thorn rejoined her and said that he had thrown the head overboard. On reaching New York she went to her house, where she burned the parcel containing the cloth- ing. On June 26 they went back to the cottage and fcund the other bundles still there. On leaving Thorn carried one of the bun- dies with him, and they again crossed the ferry, and Thorn stayed on the rear of the boat until it had nearly reached New York, when he came to her and said that he had dropped his bundle in the water. It con- tained a part of the dismembered body. The woman spoke fairly intelligible En- glish, with a very strong German accent. During the reeital Thorn’s lawyers left their accustomed seats near the prisoner and were accommodated with chairs closer to the witness. Thorn listened to every word with his lips closely compressed, his hands clasped and resting on his knees. Frequently his lips became dry and parch- The Accused Man. ed and occasionally he would moisten them with his tongue. His face bore that same stolid look of indiffere which it has worn all through, but his eyes were rest- less. When he was not gazing at his accus- er he was casting furtive glances around the court room and up into the galleries, which were crowded with men and women. Ske Purchased the Oil Cloth. Mrs. Nack told of the purchasing of the oil cloth and other wrappings, and identi-| fied some letters which she got from Thorn. A telegram was put in evidence which purported to be from Guldensuppe to Mrs. Nack, telling her to go to the Turkish baths and tell his employer that he had gone away and would write his reasons later. The prosecution tried to get the witness to identify the writing on the telegram as ‘Thor: but Mr. Howe objected, and he Was sustained by the court. During her direct examination Mrs. Nack broke down and cried, but this had no ef- fect on the prisoner, and, if anything, he seemed to enjoy her discomfiture, as the old-time grin played around his mouth. Attorney Weller showed Mrs. Nack four uldensuppe, which she ‘ack replied: “I don't want to have it on my mind.” Then she began to cry.

I don’t care hangs over me or what they do with time. Her emotion Cross-Examination Begins. Mr. Howe began his cross-examination in a very insinnuating way and ston made her acknowledge that the house in Woodside Was rented for the sole purpose of killing Guldensuppe there; that she decoyed him there; that when she bought the oilcloth and other wrappings it was for the purpose of packing up the portions of his body af- ter Thorn would have finished his mur- derous task. Adroitly and cleverly the lawyer made the woman own up to the most damninz and cold-blooded preparations for getting id of her lover. nd did you cry, then?” asked the cross- ner. ‘No.’ Did you cry when you hired the house?” “No. d you cry when you bought the oil- “Did you cry when you were bringing your lover to be butchered?” 0,” stolidly replied the woman. “Guldensuppe was your lover, not?” asked Mr. Howe. & , he was not,” said Mrs. Nack, dog- gedl: “I never loved any man outside of my husband.” The answer caused many of the spec- tators and several of the jurors to laugh, and Thorn’s set features relaxed for a mo- ment and he smiled also. “For how long had you lived with Guid- ensuppe prior to the time you lured him to Woodside?” bout a year,” she replied. uu loved Thorn, too, did you not?’ “No; he made me. He choked me and threatened to kill me if I did not love him,” she said, shaking her head slowly from side to side. Made the Prisoner Smile. This answer made Thorn smile again. “And now, may I ask, did you cry when Thorn told you he had shot your lover, Guldensuppe?” asked Thorn’s counsel. Mrs. Nack's eyes filled up and she replied: “Yes, 1 did cry then. I could not help it.” Lawyer Howe’s manner toward the wit- ness was aggressive in the extreme, and he asked his questions in a scathing tone. “What did you do when you first came to this country. What was your occupa- tion?” “Midwife,” was the reply. “How many children did you kill, Mrs. Nack?"” was the next question. “I never killed one to my knowledge, and I can prove it by doctors,” answered the woman with emphasis, Several other questiona in this vein fol- lowed, to all of which the witness replied with positive denials. Mr. Howe retired from the court room for a few minutes, during which time Law- yer Moss and the prisoner held an earnest consultation. Thorn seemed to be very deeply interested and whispered to his counsel with Mps close to the latter’s ear. Mra. Nack, in reply to Mr. Howe, ac- kucwiedged that while in the Queens coun- ty jail she wrote a letter to Thorn. “Did yeu not hegin that letter with the words, ‘My dear boy?” a The witness wou!d not suy whether these were the words or not. "You said today that you were never intimate with Thorn; that you only loved him because he threatened you, and be- cause he was a gentleman. Now, this Jet- ter was written three months after the murder, and you loved him still when you used these words in the letter?” The witness nodded an assent. Acknowledges Her Letter. Mrs. Nack’s letter to Thorn, written in the Queens county prison, which she sent him with some petaioes, and in which she addressed him as ‘Dear Martin” and “dear child,” and suggested that they end their lives, was transiated. She acknowledged that she wrote the letter, but insisted that she had never loved him at any time, and was pretending that she did only she was afraid cf him. In answer to fur- ther questions from Mr. Howe, she said sho was he Palais Royal. Palais Royal.

It was a fear of this syringe that made her buy the oileloth before the man s dead, ard the same fear after he was What made you go back to the hou: where your lover was killed?” Mr. Howe asked. “Thorn told me I was to com “It was again the fear of the syringe that made you go?” “Yes.” “When you got in the house, you say, everything was ready and tied up. What do you mean by everything was ready “The carcass was all wrapped up. How many parcels did you see?” Saw Many Blood Spots. Being asked if she saw any blood in the house, she said she had, on the floor in the bath room. There was not much, just drops. She also saw blood in the front room. It had dropped along the front room to the bed room, and it was on the floor. The parcels were down stairs in the front room. Thorn took her in to see them. He told her they were portions of her dead lover. She helped him tie them up. She did not see the head. She was shown a photograph supposed to be Guldensuppe’s arms and chest, but could not identify it, as the remains were covered up, and she saw nothing but bun- dles. She helped tie up one of the bundles. “Do you love Thorn now?’ asked Mr. Howe. | “When did you leave off loving him?” “TI never loved him from the time of Gul- densuppe’s death; I done it all to satisfy him.” “Now, which fs true, that you never loved him since the first time he sald he would kill you, or that you have loved him all along?” Never Loved Thorn. “T never loved him. I only pretended I Icved him.” “What do you do for a living?” “I am a midwife.” “How many children have you killed?” “Not one, that I know of.” “How many children—stilJ-born infants— in bottles have you in your house?” “T have two.” In reply to another question, Mrs. Nack sald she never gave money or offered money to any one)to kill her husband. —_, Mr. Howe called Nack’s attention to a statement which She is alleged to have made in German to’ Thorn, commanding him to keep his mouth shut at the time of his arrest. She replied that she had never made such a statement, and said that at that time she merely, advised Thorn to get a lawyer. a In reply to other questions, Mrs. Nack said that she névef used instruments in her profession*as' a midwife, and that when she had a case where instruments had to be used she always called in a doctor. Mr. Howe cnanget, his tactics after this, and, turning sudUenly, he shouted at the top of his voice:?“M?s. Nack, was it not you who shot Gufdensuppe?” The woman tartled, but regained herself in a moment and half shrieked: “No, I did not.” ‘Was it not you who cut up the body was the next qugetian. ‘The woman fran- tically yelled back a defiant “No.” ‘ “Did any one tell you to say you did not shoot Guldensuppe?” “No, I have never spoken on it.” Mr. Howe then asked the permission of the court to reserve further cross-examina- tion of the witness, which was granted. Redirect Examination Resumed. Attorney Weller proceeded with the re- direct examination, which was conducted with the aid of an interpreter. “Did Thorn tell you that he used ammo- nia to gét the blood off the floor?” asked Mr. Weller. ; ms “Yes, but se gt foal use ra Thorn began cleaning up the house the day we went to Woodside in the ca after the murder. I did not assist him. T can- not say how long it took him.” In answer to further questions she said there was a trail of biood from the front room to the bath room. » S Mrs. Nack answered all these questions in a business-like way and did not seem to be much affected. She said she did not go upstairs on June 25 in the Wood- side house. When Thorn met her in the back yard he sent her away. She went to the Murray Hill baths after Guldensuppe was Killed. Thorn sent her and told her to say that Guldensuppe had gone away for a few days, but would return. Ske told this to the superintendent. Mrs. Nack said that the day before the murder she telephoned from a drug sture that the Woodside cottage was all right. She meant by this that the house had been hired. Thorn had told her to do this, As the exam‘nation proczeded, Thorn sat with his head bent slightly forward and listened intently. At times he would fold his arms and keep them in that position for five or six minutes, and then he would clasp either thumb in the opposite hand and rest his hands on his knee. A recess of an hour was taken at 12:30 o'clock. Thorn was then handcuffed to Captain | Methven and led out of a side door, while Mrs. Nack remained seated in the witness chair in charge of a deputy sheriff and talked to the court tnterpreter until the court room was cleared. Then she was conducted through the side passage from the court room and was taken into the dis- trict attorney’s private office, where she remained during recess. ———— BUILDING REGULATIONS.
