THORN N9N\ ON TIRIb
Alleged Slayer of Guldensuppe
Is Arraigned.
OFFENSE CHARGED AN AWFUL ONE
With Mrs. Augusta Nack For an Acoom
plice, H Is Said to Have Lured Lis
Victim to a Lonely House, Shot Him,
Dismembored the Corpse and Dlisposed
of the Remains In Various Ways.
NEW YORK, Nov. .-To unravel the
tangled skein of one of the most myste
rious as well as heinous crimes of the
century is the task set for a jury, the
selection of which has been begun in
MAm Thor.
the Queens county court of over and
ter:niner at Long Island City. The
cause, oftcially known as the people
versus Martin Thorn, is based upon
the discove:y in June last in East river
and in Ogien's woods, north of this
city, of portions of a human body. The
head was missing.
By a series of curious links in the
chain of circumstantial evidence, the
dismembered remains have been identi
fled by a number of witnesses as por
tions of the body of William Guiden
suppe, a rubber in a Turkish bathhc ase
in this city. - Guldensuppe had nos been
at his work for several days before the
ghastly discoveries of his supposed re
mains, nor has he since that time, but
it was alleged he was in Germany,
though no one appeared to know.
The postulate of the identity of the
corpse being conceded, the next thing
to be done was todook up Guidensuppe's
connections. and from them ascertain a
possible motive for his murder. It was
easily ascertainea that he had lived on
terms of intimacy with Airs. Augusta
Nack, a midwife, but that some time
before the disappearance of Gulden
si'ppe, the pair had quarreled, and that
in the woman's flat Guldensuppe had
fought with and beaten the man who
had supplanted him in his mistress'
affections. Martin Thorn. a barber,
smarting under the beating he had re
ceived, was overheard to threaten to get
even with Guldensuppe.
Motives For the Murder.,
Here, then, were motives that might
have caused murder-a woman desirous
of being rid of a discarded lover whose
proximity might at any moment be
come troublesome and the successful
rival who had once experienced the su
perior physical prowess of his predeces
sor in the woman's affections and might
again be made to suffer the pain and
humiliation of a beating.
The arrest of Mrs. Nack was followed
a few days later by that or Thorn.
whom the police had some difficulty in
finding, but whose whereabouts were
".disclosed by John Gotha, another bar
ber, and a relative by marriage of the
accused man. Gotha has made the
statement upon which the police rely to
aid in Thorn's conviction, that Thorn
admitted his guilt to him, and since
Thorn has been confined two men, who
shared his cell at different times, have
told of incrimiiiating admissions by the
accused man.
There have also been at intervals re
ports that Mrs. Nack had virtually ad
mitted her guilt, but all of these state
ments have been more or less conclusive.
Dead Body D~ismemibered.
Briefly, it is alleged that M.rs. Naick
lured Guidensuppe to a cottage in'
Woodside, Long Island, where she said
she was abou-t to establish a "baby
farm"; that in a room in that cottage
Thorn waylaid and shot Guldensuppe,
afterwards severin;; his head, dismem
bering his cornse, and disposing of the
remains in various ways.

ecution, asisited by ex- Surrogate Au
gust N. Weller and. Assistant Attorney
George W. Davidson.
William F. Howe and George Moss
will defend Martin Thorn, whose trial
will precede that of Mrs. Nack, and
Emanuel Friend and W. H. Hirsh will
act as counsel for the woman.
At the opening of 'court a list of 200
names of special jurymen were sum
moned to appear and then Sheriff Doht
was directed to produce the prisoner.
Thorn. handcuffed to a deputy sheriff,
walked briskly to the table at which his
legal advisers were sitting. He wvas
::leanly shaven and showed no signs of'
nervousness or apprehension.
Both sides were prepared for the trial
and as Thorn stood up and the clerk ex
plained to him his right to challenge~
any of the jurors su:nmveed, he bent
forward. listening to every word. When
the clerk had finished the listener in
:lined his head slightly and sat down.
During the ezamination of talesmen a
faint smile pi-.yed around Thorn's
month and he appeared to be onie of the1
most unconcerned persons in the court.

hugh Grant on the i'redic:ion of Bryan
For Throe Years Hence.
NEW YORK, Nov. S.-The Journal and
Advertiser prints the following let:er
from Mayor Hugh Grant concerning
61r. Bryan and the recent New York
elections:
-The conclusion of Mr Bryan, that
the results of the recent New York elec
tion indicate popular dissatisfaction
with the policy of the Republean party,
is undoubtedly correct. His declaration
that they 'presage the overthrow of the
Republican party,' is not eutitled to the
same credence as his other eonclusions.
"I heartily hone that the Republican
party will be overthrown in liO. but it
is early for any one but an enthusiast
like Mr. Bryan to take up his mind with
what will happen three years hence.
"Most of the George men were en.
thusiasts, who believed that if a theory
to which they subscribed conid be put
into operation upon the affairs of n:e.
the condition of lire would be made bo-t
ter. Others of them were be.iev n m
the li to 1 theory, who were led astray
by their enthusiasm. All of them-sin
gle tax enthusiasts and 1t to 1 entiu
siasts-ought to have been Democrats
The latter would nave been with u. if
Mr. Bryan had not deterred thom. He
was sufficiently acqu tinted wi the lo
cal situation in New York city in 189
to talk about it with conipl- te assur.
ance. He ought to have been able to
make himself acquainted with it in 1-97.
"He did nothing for the local Democ
racy this year. The secretary of the
Democratic national committee, who is
presumably very close to him in sym
pathy, repudiated the candidacy of
Judge Van Wyck on the ground that
Judge Van Wyck did not stand upon
the silver plank of the Chicago plat
form, and gave to Mr. George whatever
support he had to give, although Mr.
George distinctly repudiated the silver
theory.
"The trouble with Mr. Bryan and the
secretary of the national Democratic
committee is that they cannot adapt
themselves to changing conditions.
They insist upon following certain theo
ries and disregarding peculiar condi
tions of life, which must affect the in
fluence of those theories in the various
parts of the country.
"We are Democrats, and we insist
upon taking things as they are. We
would be happy if three years hence
Mr. Bryan's prediction is verified; but I
do not take much interest in predic
tions that have so long to run. Many
things are likely to happen between

now and 1900. If tley happen as Mr.
Bryan thinks they will happen, they
will justify his assumption of the role
of a prophet. If they do not, Mr. Bryan
will be grieved. In any event, the
Democratic party will remain."

An Open Letter to the
Farmers.
Fully Prepared for the Fall Trade in
Every Respect. -
In our long experience in mercliandising we have never
procured goods in every line more satisfactory with a view to
low and suitable prices than during our recent visit North.
We allowed no opportunity looking to this most important
end to pass us. These bargains we pledge ourselves to give
our customers the full benefit of. feeling sure that we could
not give more practical shape to our sense of sympathy and
gratitude to our country friends. We know by experience
the special wants of our farmers. whose friendship we think we
have a peculiar right in claiming, inasmuch as our firm it was
which was the pioneer in this section to operate first with the
various farmer Alliances. and that our dealings with these
gentlemen were most satisfactory in every particular and
vere appreciated is clearly evinced by the present enormous
increased volume of our business. We take much pride in
this and are determined by continued conscientious dealing,
and the lowest possible prices to retain our hard-earned .pop
ularity. Our store is frequently literally packed with cus
tomers during the busy season, and this fact can be verified
by a visit, and certainly most emphatically sustains the cot
rectness of our statement.
We have not. of course, the space to lay before the pub
lic all our offering stock, but can only refer to a limited por
tion. Probably much that is omitted will be found even
more inviting.

And we can furrish innumerable testimonials of ladies who are wearing the
Godman $1.50 shoes with as much comfort and service as some other makes
for which they had been paying ?2 and more. If your little girl can kick
out her shoes in tivo or three months try a pair of the
Godran at $1
And we feel assured she will get five or six months kicking out of them.
Our prices on these commence at 50c in 4 to 8.
For Men's Vear REYNOLD'S SHOE
Has stood the test for several years and it is our.intention to retain their
agency so long as they keep their goods up to their present standard of
merit. It sometimes iappens that even in a shoe of this grade a pair may
be found deficient, but in every such case we satisfy the customer by giving
a new pair of shoes or making due allowance.

This is a kind of hobby with us. We cannot resist the temptation of
buying, no matter what the quantit; may be if the styles and prices are

That were made by a merchant tailoring establishment to sell from $12.50
to $15, but we bought them to sell
You have to see these goods to appreciate them. We also got in connection
with this line of goods a lot of light-weight

That were manufactured to sell from $12.50 to $20. Our price

These are merely a few of the, attractions of our clothing stock. You can
hnd anything from a boy's knee pants suit at 50c to a man's suit at $20.

In this connection we will only add that we are as well prepared to sup

We are exclusive agents for the Milbourne mills of Philadelphia and it

We Have Sold 3.000 Barrels of their goods in tWe past year and the best

We have arranged with the mill to deliver this flour in any part of the county in 5 bar
