An interesting statement was made yesterday py
one of the lawyers who has been prominently
Connected with the trial, regarding the ground
that may be taken Monday by the defence.
This lawyer said he had reason TO think that Thorn

10 the house in Woodsde intending to Kill him
there but that Guldensuppe became aware OF her
Intentions and In the struggle that followed, was
about to kill her. when Thorn entered and shot him
In support OF this theory the lawyer mentioned
tho black-and- blue marks found on Mrs. Nacks
