A CHASTITY EXHIBIT.
home INTRODUCED AS EVIDENCE
IN THORN's MURDER TRIAL.
Lawyers for Defense VIII Try to
Prove Mrs. Mack Killed GuIden-
suppe--Fcmales In Attendance.

Mex York, November 24.--.The trial of
Martin Thorn for the murder of William
Guldensuppe was continued in the Queens
county court today. The galleries on each
side OF the court room were mostly oc-
cupied by women, so when the trial pro-
ceeds an extraordinary attraction will be
on. A fortnight ago Mrs. Mack caused ex-
element by going on the stand and ac-
cusing Thorn of having killed her former
Lover, Guldensuppe. Since that time the
defense has changed it's base, and as Mr..
Howe said in court today, the defendants
lawyers will now endeavor to prove that
Mrs. Mack, herself, committed the crime.
Mrs. Mack was brought into court after
the midday recess. looking much paler than
when she appeared two weeks ago in the
same court.
The morbid curiosity of the majority of
the spectators was gratified in the AFTER
noon session by the production in court Of
piece Of bone, OF one Of Guldensuppe's
thighs. to which was attached some shreds
Of flesh. This CHASTITY exhibit was sealed in
glass jar. DR.. OHanlon explained that
he cut this portion off to show how min
ute'y 1t fitted into the corresponding piece
OF the bone which protruded from the
stump OF the lower part OF the trunk.

Has Little Hope for Currency Re-
form This Session.
Washington. November 24.-When asked
today to give his opinion as to the prob
ability OF legislation affecting the currency
during the approaching session Of con-
gress. Senator Teller said: II don't believe
there will be any legislation looking TO the
substituting Of bank notes for greenbncks
and treasury notes as substitution for
the currency reform so-called by the sup
porters OF the gold standard. think IL
very doubtful whether the advocates Of
the change can agree upon the details Of
such legislation and bankers will not also
hesitate TO increase the issue of hank notes
In sufficient quantity to take he place Of
the entire volume Of Ereenbacks and treas
ury notes. especially In view OF the fact
that the redemption of the bank notes must.
to satisfy the demands OF the currency
reformers, be IN gold.'
Senator Teller said he considered 1t quite
certain that the president would make
some recommendation on the currency
problem to congress, but he was Of the
opinion that the suggestion woid be in
general terms as In his inauguration speech
and that the president would leave the
details to congress.
The senator expressed doubt as to
whether the administration would take any
step looking to the encouragement OF the
Cubans In their war for independence.
Il think" he said, that congress can
settle the Cuban question by recognizing
the belligerent rights OF the Cubans and
that It should have been done long since.
