city, Nov. lU.-An unique council OF
war resembling The pow-wows of former
days was held here yesterday afternoon
and evening. FIFTY indians of prolni-

United States government through
Lieut.. ~Cavenaugh, in command of a de-

The Utes delivered a long h%arangue,
in which they recited their journey into

a camp of eight bucks by % wardens,
the killing. and ending with a demand
that the game wardens be delivered
over to the ties to have justice melted

That in brief "a the decision OF the
Indians. They had made the journey to
see the nearest government representa-,

Star and fumbutz were the first
speakers. The lieutenant sat in the
middle Of the circle IN a saudily-color-
ed blanket. Opposite to him was Chief
Sowawick. Around were seated the
White river warriors.
Star and Yumbutz, according to their
story, were hunting on the day the kill
ing occurred. When they returned to
camp they found the fight had taken
place, six bucks We're lead and the
squaws were wailing over the bodies.
They were certain that there were %
wardens who made the assault on the
camp. Thompson was the only man
they identified by name, but both claim
ed they would experience no difficulty
in identifying five others. According to
their story none of the Indians engaged
in the battle We're armed. The guns
were all in the tepees.
The lieutenant arose when the In

pressed regret that the affair had oc-

NEW YORK MURDER.
MRS. AUGUSTA MACK MAKES FULL
CONFESSION OF THE AW-
Full CRIME.
The Body Was Cut In Pieces and Tied
Up In Parcels-The Restless Gaze
of Her Paramour Was Avoided
Her Answers to the Attorneys were
at Times Almost Shrieks

New York, Nov. 1O.-A great crowt
surrounded the Queens county cour'
house this morning, attracted by the
sensational developments in the Thor
murder case by reason of the confession
Of Mrs. Mack. The little court room wa
soon filled to overlooking and many
could not gain admittance. There was
an air of suppressed excitement about
the building. Everybody connected
with the trial was IN hand early. Dis.
trict Attorney Youngs ran up the steps
a few minutes before 9 o'clock. He was
manifestly excited and waved all uues-
lions aside.
Emanuel Friend appeared a few min
utes later. ut is true that Mrs. Mack
has confessed he said, land she will
be the first witness this morning."
The others of the consul arrived a lit
tie later.
Just before court convened Lawyer
Howe said:
Il had a beautiful case for Thorn and
in one night my roses were frosted"
AT $3.50 Martin Thorn was brought
manacled from his cell to his seat before
the bar in the court room. Man of iron
nerve that he is, he maintained his ev-
%erlasting stolid demeanor. He gave
no sign of knowing that his paramour
and accomplice had betrayed him, al
though he knew it.. He was a little pal
err. there was a suspicion of sadness
about his eyes. but that was all.
Justice Smith opened court at $40
O'Clock and Mrs. Mack took the stand,
She told her horrible story of the muir,
der of ~Guldensuppe.
The woman related the awful details
OF the crime without finching. without
a tremor. At times she ever smiled as
she spoke the words that will doom to
the electric chair the pitiable wretch
who staked his soul for love Of her.
Mrs. Mack" said Mr.. Weller, slowly,
why did you make this statement"
Il made it for my God and for nv
conscience"
For the first time the woman's voice
broke.

and began to sob violently. 81 could
not bear this thing any longer" she
cried. II do not care what they put up
on me, or what they do to men. They
can hang me il they like"
1t was a dramatic moment. Martin
Thorn was the only person rnmoved in
the court room.
Was any promise made to you in re.
turn for this statement" asked Mr..
Weller
No" replied the woman between
her sobs. "No. no, no. did it all
myself. I did it to free my conscience.
I tell this for the people and God. New
er mind what comes of it. what hangs
yer my head, no matter what may hap.
pen to me. I can be hanged; they can
kill me-"
The woman's agitation did not last
long. In less than a minute she had
dried her eyes and steadied her voice.
Her story Of the crime, one of the most

Of tragedies, had been told. It took just

The prosecution then began to call
minor witnesses to strengthen certain
parts OF Mrs. Nack's testimony. Their
original plan of conducting the case
was abandoned. Coroner Tuthill testi-
ned that there was a knife wound nine
inches deep into Guldensuppe's heart.
