New York, Nov. 1.-THE trial of
Martin EFhhss==Ea Ehhss== z, that has haen in pro-
gress for the last three days, in the
Queens county court of oyer aud
terminer of Long Island City, may be
discontinued for an indefinite period,
owing to the illness of Juror Mangus
Larsen.
When the court adjourned yester-
day until 8 80 this morning the doc
tors that examined the juror thought
he was only suffering from slight
stomach trouble, and would be able to
attend court today. After Larsen,
with the other jurors, had arrived at
the Garden City hotel last night, it
was discovered that Larsen was af-
tiicted with appendicitis, and his con-
dition is now 80 serious that the physl-
clans attending him will not allow
him to leave his bed. This being the
case, the Sheriff did not bring up the
other eleven jurors today, but reported
the facts to the district attorney.
Captain Metven brought Thorn into
the court room, the prisoner looking
none the worse for his ordeal of yes
terday.
Judge Smith opened the court few
minutes later, and District Attorney
Youngs informed him of the serious
condition of Juror Larsen, and with
the consent of the lawyers on both
sides Judge Smith adjourned court
until 8 80 o'clock tomorrow.
District Attorney Youngs was asked
whether, in the event of the death of
the juror, he would ask for another
jury and proceed with the case during
the present term. He replied that he
would have to consult with his asso-
ciates before answering the question.
Said he: "These matters are ID the
discretion of the court"
After court adjourned Mr.. Howe
and Mr.. Moss had q brief talk with
their client, Thorn, before he was
taken back to his cell.
Later on Mr.. Howe outlined his
proposed plan of defense, which he
has been compelled to adopt, owing
to the confession of Mrs. Mack. Thorn
will take the stand tomorrow.
Said Mr.. Howe: "Then he will tes-
tify that the murder was conceived,
plotted and planned by Mrs. Mack.
He shall prove that she wanted to get
rid of Guldensuppe in order that
Thorn might take his place. Thorn
will state that when he got into the
cottage at WoodsIds on June % he
found that Mrs. Mack had shot Gull
densuppe, and that 1T was shs who
said: Il have killed him. In other
words, Thorn is going to tell the
whole truth about it-absolutely the
whole TRUTH" this with a dramatic
gesture.
will Thorn testify that Mrs. Mack
took away the head, or will he state
that it was he himself who threw it
into the river?" Mr.. Howe was asked.
The big lawyer hesitated for a mo-
ment and replied: "Walt until we
have Thorn on the stand tomorrow.
He will tell all about it,"
Lawyer Joseph F. Moss, who is as
sociated with Mr., Howe in the de-
fense of Thorn, was asked if, in the
event of new trial being ordered, the
defense would accept an offer from the
people of plea of murder In the sec
ond degree from Thorn.
Certainly not" he replied. "We
would spurn suoh an offer"
