For the Missing Head So Far Proves
Futile.
! New York, July 8.-The harbor police
began the work of dredging for the miss
ing head of Guldensuppe at o'clock this
morning.
Martin Thorn, the accused murderer o.
Guldensuppe, spent last night in cell a,
police headquarters. A detective watched
him the entire night to prevent any at
tempt at suicide. He will be kept al
police headquarters until Friday, wher
he will be re arraigned at Jefferson
Market court.
Mrs. Mack will be brought up at the
same time and the two will then meet
face to face. Thorn maintains the same
serene self composure that he exhibited
when first arrested, but a breakdown is
expected. Notwithstanding his apparent
composure he appears to be laboring
under a great mental strain.
Later, when Thorn was taken before
the central office detectives he told of his
movements before and after the Friday
on which Guldensupps is supposed to
have been murdered. AS to that day, he
positively refused to talk He admitted
having driven Mrs Mack to Woodside in
surrey, also that he sent two boys to
Mrs Mack S for valise on the day before
she was arrested.
District Attorney Olcott announced to-
day that the trial Of Martin Thorn and
Mrs. Mack will take place in New York
county.
1t is reported that the police have the
pawn tickets for Guldensuppe's watch
and chain, which Thorn pledged for
money.
Martin Thorn and Mrs. Mack have been
indicted by the grand jury for murQer in
the first degree, in connection with the
Guldensuppe murder.
3 The witnesses before the grand jury this
afternoon upon whose testimony the jury
found the indictments were Mrs. Riger,
the woman in Astoria who sold the oil
cloth to Mrs. Mack, August Peterson,
nephew Of Guldensuppe who identified
the body as that of his uncle; Frederick
baths, who also identified the body

arranged to get a surrey, his assistant,
George Bockroth, who delivered the sur

they are said to have gone to Woodside,
and Joseph Gartha, the barber who says
that Thorn confessed the murder to him.
There were other witnesses but their teSti-
mony was not needed.
The accused will be arraigned in Gen.

the Indictment offsets them.
Chief of Detectives O. Brien, this eve

have been made by Martin Thorn, alias
TotZewski, shortly after his capture Mon

of the assault at Mrs Nack's rooms, in
February last. Thorn admitted drawing
a revolver on that occasion and said that
during the scrimmage the weapon was
accidently discharged. Guldensuppe, he
said, then took the gum away and beat
him so badly with it about the head that
he had to go to Bellevue hospital for
treatment. Several days later Thorn said,

clothes. When Gotha returned he said
that he had met Guldensuppe at the fiat
