city Saturday night. After blowing
robbers wrecked the train, which
caught fire. the express. baggage and
smoking cars being totally destroyed.
The robbers. who wore false boards
and were unmasked, dynamited a safe
and helped themselves to number Of
packages containing gold and silver
coin. Express route agents think that
the robbers secured several hundred
dollars.
The robbers had boarded the train
at some point further west, and when
near Grants one Of them boarded the
engine, and covering the engineer with
a gun ordered him to stop the train.
The coaches were cut off and left at
the stock yards. The rest of the train

safe was dismantled. After robbing the
safe the robbers reversed the engine

flcation more positive. Nothing was
left to perfect the Identification but the
head.
At last came the arrest Of Thorn.
The man had never left the city. He
had merely shaved of his mustache
and with this simple disguise he rub
bed clothes with the officers who were
looking for him. Had he held his
tongue he could probably have con-
tinued TO live in this city unmolested.
Thorn. however, liked his beer and was
fond of company. His terrible secret
was too much for him, and so one day
he unburdened his mind to an old friend
and fellow barber, John Gotha. Gotha
he swore to secrecy, but the secret was
too much for the latter also. He would
at least tell his wife all he knew. Mrs
Gotha could not and would not rest
until the police had also heard 1t. Her
brother Was Il police oIllcer, and to him
she told the story Of Thorn's admission.
The arrest then followed.
According to the story told by Thorn
to Gotha the murder had been com
mitted at q cottage hired by Mrs. Mack
In Woodside for the purpose of start
ing baby farm. Guldensuppe was
lurcd to the house by Mrs. Mack. ana
Thorn was hiding in closet. When
Gllldensuppe opened the closet door
Thorn shot him. Then the body was
dismcmbered, Thorn and Mrs. Mack
did up the bundles. and together they
disposed of them. The head Thorn
declared. he had eicascd in plaster of
paris and sunk in the East river.

Cincinnati, Nov. 8.-John r. Mclean
and party left last night for Washing
ton. Mr.. Mclean has been considered
the Democratic candidate for senator.
and his departure is regarded as an in
dication that he comedies the legisla-
ture to the Republicans, notwithstand-
ing the numerous notices of contests.
Before his departure Mr.. Mclean held
a conference, with Chairman McCon-
Vile and other Democratic leaders.
There is nothing known as to the prob
able policy of the Democrats as a
minority in the legislature, but 1t is
believed they will join the anti-Hanna
Republicans in bringing out new man
for senator. If Governor Bushnell
should be elected senator by fusion
the lieutenant governor, A. w. Jones,
would become the chief executive. AS
the state senate is Democratic by 10
to H. 1t is said that Democratic sena-
tor would succeed Jones and be In line
for the governorship. Among the 10
conceded to the Democrats in the sem
ate is Senator Voight, Of Cincinnati a
fusion Republican, who holds the bal
ance of power in that body, and he is
non-committal.

Would Have Destroyed Bark In Order

San Francisco, Nov. S.-The whaling
bark John N. Winthrop, Captain Ma
combe, arrived yesterday from BehriEg
sea. She reports a catch Of several
whales which Yielded 10000 pounds,of
bone and 900 barrels-of oil. Early In
July the winthrop spoke the whaler
Gayhold, and for the first time heard Of
the klondike gold discoveries. The
crew became greatly excited and three
of the sailors. J. A. Kruger, o. w.
Digman and H. ]. Jones, formed plan
to destroy the vessel and make their
way to the Alaskan coast. The men
stole tar and turpentine from the ships
store. and with other inflammable ma
terial started fire in the hold. For
tunately the flames were extinguished
before much damage was done. The
three cOnspirators were at once put in
irons. Digman made written confess
sion, stating that Kruger was the
originator of the plot During the rest
of the voyage Kruger was kept in close
confinement. but Dgman and Jones
were allowed partial freedom.

in the far northern part of the city
many miles from East Eleventh street,
found bundle which was similar to
that picked up the day before in the
East river. In oil cloth, brown paper
and cheese cloth was wrapped the
lower half Of a mans trunk. 1t was
the half missing from the East river
find.
The head and legs were still missing
thus seemingly rendering it impossible
to establish the dead mans identity.
The head Is still missing, but the body
has been Identified and the mystery un-
raveed, thanks to the keen and smart
work of New York newspaper report
ers. A reporter got the idea that the
man In life, judging from his hands,
was q masseur or something of that
kind, and he started to work out an
Identification on this basis. AT the
Murray Hill turkish baths he learred
that one of the attendants, William
Guldensuppe, had not been seen since
the very day upon which the murder
was supposed to have been committed.
The reporter also discovered that there
was woman named Mrs. Augusta
Mack, who had abandoned her husband
for Guldensuppe
Mrs. Mack lived on the second floor
Of 439 Ninth avenue, and thlthcr the re-
porter went. Yes. she knew Gulden-
suppe. but she had not seen him for
few days She was perfectly cool,
but there was something about her that
aroused the suspicious Of her interroga-
tor. He went back to the baths and
had the attendants there, who knew
Guldensuppe well. 60 with him to the
murgue. These men had no difficulty
In Identifying the trunk and arms as
those of Guldensuppe. They had known
him for years, and had daily seen him
stripped to the waist at his work. Where
the skin was cut from the breast Gull
densuppe had carried the tattoo marks
which would have made identification
easy. The reporter then hurried back
to Mrs. Nack's house, where he found
her preparing to move to another res
ldence. The woman was perfectly cool
and answered all questions plausibly
but, as discovered almost Immediately,
lied unhesitatngly. These lies have
helped to weave network of damning
evidence against her. Other reporters
kept watch on the house, SO that the
midwife might be tracked wherever she
went, and then the story was given to
the police. who were still flounderng
in the dark.

was captured while driving q bread
wagon. He. however. established his
innocence sufficiently well TO procure
his discharge BY this time 1t was
learned that Guldensuppe had rival
for the affection of Mrs. Mack In one
Martin Thorn, barber. Both men had
quarreled about the woman and had
threatened each others lives. Thorn
had disappeared. and 1t was believed
that he had shipped for Germany, and
that he would be taken into custody
on his arrival there. Meanwhile the
missing legs were found close to the
navy yard in Brooklyn. They were
tied up in oilcloth paper and cheese
cloth similar to the wrappings of the
two bundles previously found. The
bath attendants then made the identi-

New York. Nov. S.-A murder as
shocking in the fcndsh details of lis
execution as ever took place within
the confines of great city WAS pre-
sumably committed on Friday June
2b, In lonely cottage at Woodslde, l..
]. William Guldensuppe, a Turkish
bath attendant, was the victim. and
Martin Thorn, a barber. and Augusta
Mack, o midwife, stand accused OF be-
ing his murderers. Today the trial Of
Thorn began In Long Island CITY be-
fore Judge Maddox.
No murder was ever more carefully
planned, nor did murderers ever take
more pains to cover up their tracks by
effectually disposing of the remains Of
their victim. Yet within "a hours 1t
was known to the world that a murder
had been committed. and the pursuit
Of the butchers had been begun.
Two boys, John Mcclure and James
McKsnna, were preparing for their
afternoon dip" on June Is at the foot
of East Eleventh street, when the sight
of rather strange looking bundle
floating with the tide fastened their
movements. In q moment they were
in the water and towing the bundle in
shore. Once back on the dock the boys
lost no time In cutting the stout cord
which was wound around their prize
and undoing the roll of oilcloth which
formed the outer covering. There were
other coverings of heavy brown paper
and cheese cloth, and last of all the
mutilnted trunk Of a man, with the
arms folded across the breast. 1t was
the upper portion Of the body, from the
hips to the throat. The arms. strangely
enoAgh, had been allowed to remain,
but the cutting of the neck and the
trunk had been carefully done. From
the breast a slice of skin had been re-
moved and over the srot the un-
fortunate mans arms had been placed
as II to conceal 1t.
