Iupplement to VOL. XIII. MANNING, S. C., NOVEMBER 24, 1897. NO. 18. CASIE OF THOM\ CALLED The New York Barber On Trial For the Seeond Time. SOME SURP3ISES TO BE SPRUNG Defense Will Attempt to Show That M.U. Nack Committed the Deed-ioth the Aoeused to Swear That the Other Killed Guldensuppe, and It Is a Question Which the Jury Will Believe. NEW YoRE, Nov. 22.-Martin Thorn, indicted with Mrs. Augusta Nack for the murder of William Guidensuppe, was again placed on trial in the crimi nal branch of the Queens county su preme court at Long Islan- City. Thorn's first trial, which was begun two weeks ago, was interrupted and had to be abandoned on account of Ju ror Larson becoming seriously ill. There was a repetition of the scenes which marked the opening of the first trial. The main floor and galleries of the courtroom were crowded with law yers, talesmen, reporters. and newspaper artists. Deputies were stationed at all entrances to the courtroom and no per sons were allowed to enter witlaput a pass. About 150 talesmen, especially drawn for the trial, were in attendance. There were many farmers from the remote parts of Long Islana, and from their conversation in the corridors it was evi dent that they had not read or heard much about the Guidensuppe murder. This is regarded as favorable to getting a jury within a reasonable time. The witnesses were not allowed to sit in the courtroom, b' were allowed to occupy seats just outside the courtroom door. One of the eew witnesses is Ida Zeig ler of New York. Sinco Mrs. Nack confessed that Thorn committed the murder Counsel- Howe has been direct ing his efforts to try and fasten- the actual killing on Mrs. Nack, and to this end he has called Mrs. Zeigler as a wit ness. She will testify that as early as last March Mrs. Nack tried to hire her cottage at West Farms, telling her that Guldensuppe was to live with her in the cottage. Mr. Howe will endeavor to show by this that it was Mr . Nack that was planning to murder Guldensuppe at the time. At the beginning of the first trial, Mr. Howe had prepared an elabo rate defense for Thorn. He refused to acknowledge that a murder had been committed and even insinuated that the defense would produce witnesses to show that Guldensuppe was alive in Germany after the day on which he is alleged to have been murdered in the cottage at Woodside. Mrs. Nack's unexpected confession upset all of Mr. Howe's plans. This in duced him to prepare a new line of de fense. - Thorn and Mrs. Nack will each swear that the other killed Guldensuppe and is will be for the jury to decide which is believed. Judge Smith. as soon as he arrived at the courthouse in Long Island City, sent for District Attorney Youngs and told him that he was suffering from chills and ague and that rather than riskihe possibility of a second mistrial, h., deemed it better so telephone for either Justice Maddox or Gaynor to try the case. The first named was subse quently secured. A NORWEGi~l BRK SINKS. Struck by the Schooner Sprague Off Fry lng Pan Shoals-No Lives Lost. WlL3C[ros, N. C., Nov. 22.-The schooner Cuaries H. Sprague.
