Gradually the lawyer led the witness
up to the morning of Friday, June 25,
the day that the crime was committed
She said she and Guldensuppe left
New York between and 10 o'clock
that morning, and after they had
crossed the ferry they boarded a troll
ley car, which left them at the Wood
side cottage. Il had the key to the
house." she said, ''and l opened the
front door. I told Guldensuppe to en-
ter and examine the house while
went into the yard. He went upstairs
and / heard a shot. Martin Thorn
came running down and when he met
me he said: I've shot him; he is dead
He was very excited and l was half
dead" said the self-confesSed murder
ess breathlessly.
He asked me to go home and come
back at 5 o'clock. When 1 came back
that evening Thorn had everything
packed in bundles. He handed me a
bundle, which he said contained Gull
densuppe's clothes, and he took another
bundle which was wrapped up in gray
colored paper. He said that it was
Guldensuppe's head, and that it was
done up in plaster paris. We took the
trolley car and went over to New York
on ferryboat.
''Where had he put the head?"
Il don't know; he only told me that
he had done away with it. 1 met him
the next day at Thirty-fourth street
ferry, and then we arranged about hir-
ing carriage"
The woman then told in detail how
the other packages were brought in
the surrey and deposited in the river
at the Ogden woods, near High bridge.
Mr.. Howe began his cross-examina-
ton in very insinuating way, and
soon made her acknowledge that
the house in Woodside was rent
ed for the sole purpose of killing
GuldenSnppe there; that she de-
coyed him there; that when she
bought the oil-clOth and other wrap
pings it was for the purpose of pack
ing up the portions of his body after
Thorn would have finished his murder
GUS task. Adroitly and cleverly the
lawyer made the woman own up to
the most damning and cold -blooded
preparations for getting rid of her
lover.
AS the examination was proceeding,
Thorn sat wi tn his head bent slightly
forward and listening intently. At
times he would fold his arms and keep
them in that position for five or six
minutes, and then he would clasp
either thumb in the opposite hand and
rest his hands on his knees.
Mr.. Howe, counsel for Martin Thorn,
said Wednesday that he would put his
client on the witness stand, and that it
will then be shown that Mrs Mack, and
not Thorn, killed Guldensuppe and cut
up his body.
NEW YORK, Nov. 11.--Mrs Nack's re-
direct testimony was resumed after re-
cess. Replying to Attorney Wellers
first question, she said that Martin
Thorn had long -bladed knife. She
said Thorn gave it to her the evening
of the killing, and she retained it until
they were both riding together in the
wagon on Saturday. Thorn asked her
about 1t and she gave it to him. When
she did so he threw it away on the
WoOdside, but she could not locate the
exact place. Later on Mr.. Howe asked
for the revolver which the detectives
found in Mrs. Nack's apartments.
When it was produced it was carefully
examined by the attorney and then
Mr.. Howe handed it to the wit
ness She said it belonged to Gull
densuppe and after he and Thorn
had quarreled, Guldensuppe unloaded
it and put it away in closet
Coroner Tuthill. of New York, was
then called to prove that the several
portions of the human body found in
the three bundles, belonged to the same
person. He said the bones had marks
of a saw. During her examination
Mrs. Mack never mentioned a saw be-
ing used, neither did Gotha, in his re-
port of Thorn'S confession to him.
