GRUBSOME STORY T0LD [N COURT Martin Thorn Relates How Guldensuppe Was Slain. SHOT TO DEATH BY MRS. NACK. Then the Woman Superinten- ded the Work of Cutting Up the Body. THE ACCUSED TRYING TO CLEAR HIMSELF. But It Remains to Be Seen Whether the Jury WIill Belleve the Barber. Special Dispatch to THE CALL NEW YORK, Now. —The trial of Martin Thorn for the murder of Gulden- suppe was closed to-night so far as the taking of evidence was concerned. To- morrow morning the lawyers for the de- fendant and the people will sum up, and it is understood justice Maddox will charge the jury early in the afternoon. Opinions, both lay and legal, differ very materially as to the probable result. Many look for a conviction, but a greater number anticipate a disagreement. A few of Thorn’s forme: employers were called by the defense to-day and they all gave the accused barber an excelient character for the past ten years. Thorn himself was the only witness for the defense. From the moment he was led to the ness chair to tue time he le’t it some Lours later, the prisoner conducted himself in a cool and impressive manner. His state- ments in reply to general questions, his answers in the direct and cross-examina- tions were delivered in a mcderate tone of voice which could be heard distinctiy by all in the coartroom, At times his voice would drop so that he coald not be heard a few feet away, but Mr. Howe re- minded the witness at these times that he should speak louder, and these admoni- tions always had the desired effect. Thorn in hisstory of the murder delib- erately accused Mrs. Nack of having shot Guldensuppe, aud aeclared thatwhen he (Thorn) reached the Woodside cottage terween 11 and 12 o’clock on Fridey, June 25, the woman met him at e door an1 toid him that Guldensuppe was lying dead upstairs and tba: sbe had shot and killed him. This, said T!orn, was the first intimation he nad of the purpose for which Mrs Nack nad rented the Wood- sitle cottage. Up to that moment he had understood she was going 10 start a baby farm there, and that he was to live with her and share the profits. The pro-ecution called in rebuttal three witnesses who swore that they had seen Mrs. Nack in her rooms in New York be- tween half past 2 and 4 o'clock on the afternoon of June and M Walley he had seen Mrs. Nuck leave the cott t twenty minutes after she and the man with thelight suit had en- tered. The prosecution did not put Mrs. Nack on the stand, and the court ruled aczainst Mr. Howe's attempt to intro- duce the testimony given by Mrs. Nack at the mistrial. Soon nfter the beginning of the day’s session Mr. Howe requested the court to dismiss the charge of murder in the tirst degree, and the court denied the re- quest. Mr. Howe then began his address with a declaration of Thorn’s innocence, sup- plemented witn a terrible arraignment of Mrs. Nack, who was denounced as the real murd-rer of Guldensuppe. At the con- clusion of the address Mr. Howe asked that before the case was ciosed the jury- men should be permitted to view the premises at Woodside. The District A:torney said he would like 10 think over the proposition before informing the court of nis views. The defense called several witnes es to testify to the prisoner's good characier, a | and aftera short recess Thorn was put on the staud to testify in his own behalif. Beginning with the statement that he came to America seventeen years aco, the prisoner said his rea! name was Forcsws- ky, and briefly related the facts of his life up to the time he met Mrs. Nack, eight- een months ago. Guldensuppe was board- ing with Mrs. al the time. “1 rented a furnishcd room from her at $2 a week,” said Thorn. I understood Guldensuppe was her nusband. She first made love to me, and I returned her love. I was very fond of her, and loved her up to the mon:ent she 100k the witness-stand on my first trial.” The prisoner told how he supplanted the bathrubber in Mr . Nack’s affections, and described the row he had with Gul- densupve in consequence last February. Guldensuppe caught hotd of him. Thorn held a revo'ver, which went off accident- ally, and Guidensuppe t0ok his pistol from him and gave him a beating. The vprisoner had 10 go to a hospital. Mrs, | Nack met him afterward very often, and they went to places ol amusement. She said thatshe was ~orry that Gnldensuppe had hurt him, but that he must not heca that. Mrs. Nack told me,” she wished to leave Idensuppe and live in some quiet place. We nired the Woodside cottage. I paid the $i5 anu got the key. On the 24th of june I gave the key to Mrs. Nack, us she said she wanted to do some cieaning at the cottage. About 11 or 12 o'clock on Friday, June 25, M Nuck met me at the door. * She said have Guld ‘nsuppe upstairs.’ I asked h what he was duing there, and she replie *He is dead; I bave shot him.’ She then requested me to help her to dispose of the corpss. I went upstairs and heiped to undress the rody. Then we carried it to the bathtub. I went out and bought some plaster of paris. When 1 came back she began cutting up the vody. Sbe cut the head off with a kaife. When she reached the back of the neck she cut through that portion witha small saw. Then she cut through the middle of the body and then I asked Ler why she cut so. S repiied: ‘I know enough not to cut through the bowels.’ “Next, she cut off the legs, after which she went out for a while, as it was very warm there. On her return w» encased the head In the plaster of paris. We brought away the dead man’s clothesin a bundle, and I carried the head in another bunale. The saw, knife and revolver were in the bundle with the clothes. We 100k the car to the Ninetv-second-street ierry. over which we crossed to New York. I threw the head overboard while the boat was crossing the river. Then we went to Mrs. Nack’s house on Ninth avenue, where we burned the clothes in the cooking stove.”” The witness then told of the surrey ride 2id Thorn, “that on the following day, and of the disposi- tion of the other portions of the remains, which were wr:pred up in_oilcloth, cheese cloth and paper, which Mrs. Nack had purchased prior to her visit to the cottage on June 25, the day of the killing. Thorn toid of bhis meetings with the woman after this, and how Mrs. Nack had made preparations to go to Europe. Mrs. Nack met him on Tuesday night, June 30, and the following day he learned from the papers that she had b:en arrested. He explained his conversation with Gotha. He said that he had 10ld Gotha that Mrs. Nack killed Guldensuppe, and also told the barber how the body was cut up and disposed of. He to d Gotha of his intention to give himself up to the police, but Gotha asked him 10 wait. He gave Gotha some pawn tickets and made an appointment to meet him on the follow- ing night, Thorn kept the appointment and was arrested. During his conversa- tions with Captain O'Brien Thorn said ke told the detective some truths and some falsehoods. During the time he was giving this di- rect testimony Thorn looked directly at the jury. He spoke clearly and distincily, | although at times bis vo:ce dropred 1o a rather low ton He used good En lish with only a sli; trace of German accent. His direct examination lasted ihree-quar- ters of an hour. Surrogate Welier con- ducted the cross-examination. “Thorn continued his story of the doings at the cottage on the day of the murder, the narrative not differing materially from the accounts hitnerto printed, ex- cept that he admitied baving lied to Cap- tain O’ Brien as to his whereabouts on the day of the kiliing with a view to estab- lishing an alibi. He said he helped Mrs. Nack unaress Guidensuppe, but heard no groan ana saw nothing that would lead him .o belicve the man to be alive while being cut up. Mr. Weller in several ways tried to get the principal witness to write his name on a sheet of paper. Mr. Howe otj-cted, and was sustained by Justice Maddox. As to the hiring of the cottage Thorn was closely | questioned. He gave a false name and business to the proprietor of the cottage because Mrs. Nack did not want any one to know that he was lLiving with her. Later on he said Mrs. Nack accompanied him to_the cottage the day he paid the ~ent. Thorn said Mrs. Nack gave him the goid watch and chain the day after the killing. It bad belonged to Gulden- suppe. Thorn did not say how Mrs. Nack got the oilcloth and other stuff to the cot- tage when she only got the keys from him ou the night of June 24. She must have brought them with her when she brought Guldensuppe 1o the cottagze that morning, June2s. Mr ack lelt the cottaze about 4 0'ciock, and back an bour lacer. They then took Lwo of the parc:!s with them. In the further cross-examination Thorn said that the most money he ever had at one time from Mrs. Nack was the $15 that | he paid for the rent of the Woodside cot- | tace. After the arrest of Mrs, Nack he | spent his days in New Jersey and only came to New York at night. Thorn was asked regarding the let nich was taken from Lim by the Sheriff. Thorn had tried 10 destroy the letter, but the officers res- cued it. 1In it he asked Mrs. Nack to tes- Giy as he told ter, and he vould send some word before the trial. | “Then you were assisting in framing the defense?” asked Mr. Weller. “Yes, certainly,” was Thorn's reply. “And you were doing all you could to | cover up the crime?”’ “Yes, I ¢id all I could,” said Thorn. ‘Tuorn said the reason be told Gotha that Mrs. Nhek committed the murder was be- cause he thought he could trust himasa | iriend. This finished the cross-examina- tion. Mr. Howe began his redirect examina- tion by showing Thorn a telegram pur- porting to be sent by Guldensuppe to Mrs. Nack on June It was writien in Ger- man ang, translated, itread: ‘'Please go to where 1 have worked and teil them I will not return, as [ am going traveling. A letier will foliow. William Guldensuppe.” Thorn said he wrote 10 at the request of Mrs. Nack. Mr. Howe tried to bring in part of the evidence of Mrs. Nack in the mistrial in reference to her opening the | door of tbe cottage the morning she | brought Guldensuppe there. Atthattime | the woman swore she opened the door | with a key which Thorn gave her the night vefore. The District Attorney objected to Mr. Howe reierring to that testimony of Mrs, Nack or using any of it before the jury. | The court sustained the objection. | At this time Mr. Weller interruptedl | Mr. Howe by going back to the cross-| examination, as the interpreter had come | inio the court with type-written copies of | translations of two letters which Mrs. | Nack wrote 1o Thorn and one written to ber by Thorn whilein the Queens County | prison. Tnese have been printed before. Mrs. Nack suggested that they get some- | thing to end their lives with. Thorn in | his letter said he had a prescription which, if it couid be filled, would end his life. He did not wish her to die. He! wanted 1o see her free. “You were willing todie yourself and save the woman ?”’ asked Mr. Weller. “Yes, sir,” said the prisoner, “I loved ber and was willing to die for her.” Tue prosecution seemed taken by sur- prise by Thorn’s sta‘ement. In this let- ter, which never reached Mrs. Nack, as it | was captured by the officers, Thorn <aid: “If there is no other way out of it, I will see to it that I shall only suffer and you | will go free.” ‘When Thorn left the stand the defense rested. Mrs. Kel!ly was recalled, and said she saw Mrs. Nack leave the cottage about twenty minutes after she had gone in with a man with a light suit. She saw Thorn about 12 o’clock enter the cottage. Toree witnesses testified 10 seeing Mrs. Nack at her home on Ninth avenuein this city, on the afternoon ot June 25 This closed the case for the people and the defense. The court adjourned for the day. OPPOSITION 10 ANKEXAT.ON. Senator Jones of Arkansas Will Lead | the Fight Against the Proposed T reaty.

Marked Change in Sentiment Throughout Sacramento County. Galt the Only Village Where Much Opposition Has De= veloped. &pecial Dispatch to THE CALL SACRAMENTO, Nov. 20.—The reports coming in from the country to-night stow an immense gain in favor of the Folsom road bond issue. /The missionary work of the County Commissioners and the State Board of Higlhways is beginning to show results. In all portions of the county the sentiment seems to” be chane- ing rapidly in favor of the project, uniess it is in the locality of Galt. Tuis littie town never seems to be in harmony with (he rest of the county. Perhaps it is be- cause Galt is on the very outer border, or perhaps it 1s due to the veculiar disposi- tion of the people there; but it is a fact, nevertheless, that Galt has never been in touch with Sacramento city and the rest of the county. The most recent exemplification of this strange fact is the following letter sent by a few of ihe people down there to the editor of the Bee: GALT, Cal., Nov. 26, 1897. To the Editor of the Bee—Sir: We nave been reading why the city needs the road 10 Fol- som. We, the undersigned, think we need some work down nere. From Dry Creek bridge to Galtis almost impassable in winter. This is the first road the San Jozquin people strike when they want (0 drive up ‘o the capi- ta), and one trip wiil do them. They will ship théir rig and team home on the railroad be- fore they will drive back. The road fiom Dry Creek bridg: to Hicksyille is a disgrace to nny State, and we taxpavers will remember Mr. Jenkins at the next election if he should want our votes again. We are in favor of good roads, and will put in part of the timeiree graus 10 have this road fixed now before the rain sets in. 3r. Price speaks about the people of Sin Joaguin and other southern couniies or tour- jsts d:iving up through Sacramento city to Foisom and Lake Tahoe. We don’t think he ever drove over the road from Dry Cre:k to Sacramento city in the winter. We don’task yining, only & chance to help fix this road. Mr. Jenkins snhould come down here before askir s to vote for ponds to fix the road from your city to Folsom, when we can't get from Galt to Sacramento half of the time from December 10 the 1st of May. We are, undersigned, taxpayers along the road from Dry Creek bridge to Galt, only one | and one-half miles, and from Gait to McCon- nells. This is a disgrace now. We hope to sce this in the Bee before we vote for bonds to help where We never expect to use. J. WHITAKER, Dr._A. MONTAGUE, A. J. MONTAGUE. W. STOOPRACK, W. D Frax W. DUFFY, C. Tracy. F. KOBINSON, JAMES D. FURNISH. They seem to have made but littie im- pression on the Bee, however, for imme- diately followlng the communication an editorial, from which the following is an extract: That 1s the spirit of silurianism with a vengeance. That is the embodiment of an idea which has done so much to retard this county when she should have progressed and kept pace with sny in the State. This is certainly a dog-in-tne-manger policy. These men virtually say: “The proposed road does not o right pastour doors, and, therefore, it will not go past the doors of auy one else, if my vole can prevent it.” 1f these correspondents from Galt will only pause and consider they wiil see that they will have formulated u doctirine antagonistic to the very best interests of .the entire couu- 1y, their own section included. Speaking of the awful condition of the roads around Galt the Bee continues: It is to inaugurate the removal of these damnable disgraces to our county thatthe people are usked 10 vote for this modern road from Sacramento to Foisom, the building of which will be the best bit of economy in that line ever accompiished, and the repairing and maintenance of which will have Lo be attenaed forever by the State. But while this “dog-in-the-manger” atti tude comes from a few in Galt there are other por- tions of Sacramento County which, be it said, to her everlasting honor and praise, will carry her through and save her from disgrace in the eyes of the State. Down the river, Courtland, Walnut Grove, Isleton, Franklin and all the small settlements are alive and awake to the best interests of the county, and will give to the proposition an overwhelming vote in the affirmative. The same feeling pre- vails at Antelope, which is located at tha extremo northern border of the county. Senator Gillis Doty, the author of the bill, bas joined the crusade against silur- janism and the splendid speeches he is making have brought many a doubting voter into camp. Only three more days remain now, but those who are fighting say there will be more vim put into those three days than hasever wound up a campaign in Sacra- meito County.

Will Attend the Whitman Monument Dedication To-Day. Says the Bones Recently Discov=- ered Were Not Those of the Murdered Party. Spectal Dispatch to THE CALL SPOKANE, Nov. 20.—Among those who to-morrow will attend the dedication of the Wnitman monument, near Walla Walla, 1s Mrs. Catherine Sager Pringie of East Spokane, one of the few survivors of the massacre at Waiilaipu on November 29,1847. As an 1l-year-old girl, the adopt- ed uvaughter of Dr. Whitman, she was a witness to the scenes enacted in the Whit- man home, called in those days by the country folk the *‘Mansion House,” on the dreai November day, filty years ago. Sbe it was who was first to Mrs. Whit- man’s assistance wben the noble mis- sionary’s wife fell shot through the shoul- der by an Indian’s bullet. As clearly as though it occurred but vesterday Mrs. Pringle recollecis every detail of the mas- sacre. She retains a deadly hatred for the Indian race, and holds, with many ano- t .er pioneer, that the only good lndian is the dead Indian. While Mrs. Pringle will go to Walla Walla and Waiilatpu to assist in doing honor to the memory of the great mis- sionary and the little band that fell with him she is firmly of the opiaion that the bones which have been disinterred re- cently are not those of Dr. Whitman, as is supposed. While they will be placed under the monument she thinks they will be placed there by mistake. “I would they had never been dis- turbed,” said she impressively to THE CALL correspondent to-day. On Octover 20 the bones were dug up from the mound in which they were buried, near Waiilatpu, in order to be placed under the mouument. Only five skulls were found, one of them supposed 10 be that of Mrs. Whitman. These were, with a lot of other bits of bone, piled un- der a wagon-box that had been turned over them when buried. They were re- garaed as being portions of the bones of the missionary and his wife, with those-of some of his househola. “Let me give you the proofs,’’ said Mrs, Prinzle to-day. ““Theré were eleven-killed in the massacre—Dr.- .Whitman, Mrs. Whiiman, Audrew Rogers, the two Sager boys (my brothers), aged 16 and 18 years; Lucian _Szunders, Mr. Hoffman and Marsh, Kimball, Young and Gillian. The day following the killing Joe Staufield, the Frenchman, was occupied all day.dig: gine a trench in which to bury-them. “On the next dav, Wednesday, Legan the painful and horrible work of prevar- ing the mutilated corpses for burial: They lay where they had fallen, except Dr. Whitman, who lay upon the dining-room floor, whither his wife bhad dragized him when he was first shot. Quilts” had been piaced over each corpse on Tuesday morn- ing by the lndians. The remains were washed, stripped and wrapped iu sheets made by the women fromr domestic taken from the doctor’s house. I'made the sheeis for my brothers. “It'was well toward sunset Wednesday when the bodies were ready to ‘be con~ veyed to the rude grave, which was done by placing them in an ox cart. Arrving there they were placed in the following order, the huze grave heading: to the north: Mrs. Whitman first on the west side, her husbind next, then Mr. Rogers, then John Sager, then his brother, and ufter them the others. “Tue grave was only about three. feet deep. The morning after the funerai, Mary Ann Bridger called to meag I was getting up. saving that the wolives were at. the grave. We rushed out to see a sight that lived in my memory vividly for vears. 1 could not close my eyes at night without seeing it. The wolves had dug out the bodies, bad dragged out one of Mrs. Whitman’s less and eaten off the flesh to the knee. The men put us women and girls to one side and reburied the re- mains. Morning after morning after that we would awake (o see the wolves at their work, however, tearing out the bodies. They carried many of the bones away. Some of Mrs. Whitman’s hair was found a mile from the scene. No further effort was made to rebury the bodies. Mind you, we who were left, were prisoners held by the Indians, 1n constant terror that we, too, would be murdered. “Tne first of the volunteers, the relief expedition, arrived in January, 1848, and they set about reburying the bones. What few bones could be gathered up were placea in the original pit, covered by a wagon-box and earth thrown on top of that. “As there were eleven killed, and as there were but five skulls found, it will be seen that but a small portion of the bones ! nave been discovered. The others may have decayed during the many years that nave passed, or the wolves prooabiy car- ried them to their dens or to the adjoin- ing swamps, where they bave mingled with the mud and water. But where the bones of Dr. Whitman and his associates are God only knows. I am sorry the grave was disturbed, for the doubt I bave always bad has now become a certainty to me. . +Of the five skulls found, one is sup- posed to be tnat of the doctor, the sup- position being based on the location of the wounds. On none of the skulls dug up, however, have been found the wounds that answer to those made on Dr. Whit- man’s head, namely a single tomahawk wound on the back of the head and a gun- shot wound across the throat, The skull supposed (0 be that of Mrs. Whitman does not answer the correct description, and I am convinced it is the skull of one of my brothers.” HIGHEST AVERAGE SPEED. Again the Kaiser Wilhelm der Grosse Breaks the Record in Crossing the Atiantic. SOUTHAMPTON, Nov. 20.—The North German Lloyds steawer Kaiser Wilhelm der Grosse, Captain Knglart, which left New York on November 23, passing the Sandy Hook lightship at 4:30 P.'M., ar- rived here this afternoon, ‘passing the Needles at 3:10 0’clock. The steamer was delayed twenty-five minutes in standing by a burning ship, buc in spite of this she broke the record for the highest.average speed across the ocean, her speed per hour averaging 22.35 knots. The total distance covered was 3065 knots. The passage took 137 hours 8 minutes, or 5 days 17 hours 8 minutes, from which, of course, should be deducted the 25 minutes lost in siand- ing by the burning ship, which would have made her sctual passage 5days 16 hours 43 minuies, thou:h she is only ailowea a record of 5days 17 hours 8 minutes by maritime experts. Only 30 per cent of the robberies com- gas- X S mitted in London lead to a conviction. WEYLER S PARTISANS CHECKED Hostility to Autonomy Promptly Stopped by Blanco. SECRET CIRCULARS SENT OUT.
