AUGUST F. FRANKLIN DEAD.
One Of the City's Pioneer Business Men Re-
spends to the Last Call.

Mr.. August T. Franklin, one of the
pioneer business men of Brunswick
has joined the silent majority. Death
has called another of the old oltizsns,
and those who knew him mourn.
Mr. Franklin died at 7:3O O'Clock
yesterday morning, at his residence,
corner of Monk and Egmopt streets.
His death was unexpected. He had
been confined to his bed but a few
days, and although suffering with a
complication of diseases for years, be
seemed to have many years of life
still before him.
His children were at his bedside
when death came. Mrs. Malcolm
Jones, his only living daughter, ar.
rived, with her hus band, from Macon,
only a short while before the sad oc-
currence.
Mr.. Franklin conducted hay,
grain and com mission business in this
city for many years. He discontin-
ued his local house about year ago,
and moved to Fitzgerald, where he
conducted similar business. For the
past few weeks, he has been in this
city, where his wife resides.
Mr.. Franklin's business career was
full of exciting crisis. On one occasion,
anticipating slight advance in corn,
he bought trainload. TO be delivered
at g certain date. A few days after
tbe purchase was made, corn had a
sensational advance. Mr.. Franklin's
profits on the purchase footed up in
the tens of thousands. He received
offers of half and three. quarters of
this sum to cancel the order Friends
counseled HIM to take he latter offer.
He was obdurate. AS an ordinary
business proposition, his judgment
would have been good. But fate was
against him. The corn arrived. Every
bushel of it was rotten. He did not
recover from the sellers. The deal
aud its result was sensation for a
long time.
Mr.. Franklin had 10000 insurance
on his life in company that failed a
few months ago. lie leaves a wife, a
daughter, Mrs, Malcolm D. Jones, of
Macon, and two sons, Messrs. Harry
and SchOfeld Franklin.
The funeral will occur this morn
ing at 10 O'clock from the residence,

WITNESS STAND.
He Alleges That Mrs. Mack Was
the Murderer of Gulden-
suppe.
LOVED THE WOMAN UNTIL SHE TOLD.
The Story Remarkable 0ne-Tells How
She Did the Aot-Which Will
Be Believed

New York, Nov, 29.-Martin Thor n
was today placed ON the stand to tes-
tify in his own behalf. Beginning
with the statement that he came to
America sixteen years ago, the prison.
er said his real name was Morees-
! wisky, and briefly related the facts of
his life up to the time he met Mrs.
| Mack eighteen months ago. Gulden-
suppe was boarding with Mrs. Mack
at that time. "I rented a furnished
room from her at 50 week." sad
Thorn. "Later, [ understood Gulden-
suppe was her husband. She first
made love to me. l returned her love.
I was very fond of her, and loved her
up to the moment she took the stand
on the first trial."
The prisoner then told how he sup
planted the bath rubber in Mrs. Nack's
affections, and described the row with
GuldeDsuppe, In consequence, last
February. During the row GuIden-
suppe caught hold Of him. Thorn held
a revolver, which went off accident
ally. Then Guldensuppe took the pis.
tol from him and gave him beating.
The prisoner left the house and
went to the hospital. Mrs. Mack met
him afterwards often, and they went
to the theaters and other places of
amusement. She said she was sorry
that Guldensuppe had hurt him, but
that he must not heed that.
Thorn, at the suggestion Of counsel,
then told, in his own way, what Mrs.
Mack had said to him after that. The
court directed Mr.. Howe not to lead
the witness.
"Mrs. Mack told me-" said Thorn,
"that she wished to leave Guldensuppe
and wished to live in some quiet place.
We visited the Woodside cottage, and
as it seemed suitable place, we hired
the cottage. l paid S15 and got the
key. On the oath OF June 1 gave the
key to Mrs. Mack, as she said she
wanted to do some cleaning at the cot
