MYSTERIOUS MURDER CASE
New York Jury Selected to Unravel
Tangled Skein of Crime Com
mitted Last June.
CIRCUMSTANTIAL EVIDENCE COMPLETE
William Guldensuppe Shot, Body Dis
membered and Portions Disposed
Of-Mrs Augusta Mack, the
Woman in the Case.
CIRCUMSTARTIAL EVIDENCE COMPLETE

New York, Nov. 8.-To unravel the
tangled skein of one of the most mysteri.
ous as well as heineous crimes of the GEN.
tury is the task for jury, the selection
of which was begun today in Queens
county court of Oyer and Terminer of
Long Island City. The case of the Peo-
pie vs.. Martin Thorn is based upon dis
covery made in June last in East River
and Ogden's woods, north of this city, of
portions of one human body. The head
was missing. By series of curious links
in the chain of ciroumstsntial evidence,
portions of the dismembered remains
have been identified by a number of wit
nesses as the body of William Gnlden-
in this city. 1t was easily ascertained
that he had lived on terms of intimacy
with Mrs. Augusta Nack, a mid dwlfe, but
that some time before his disappearance
the pair had quarrelled, and in the wo-
mans fiat, Guidensuppe had fought with
and beaten a man who had supplanted
him in his mistress affection. Martin
Thorn, barber, who, smarting under the
beating he had received, was overheard
to threaten to get even with Guldensuppe,
Briefly stated, it is alleged that Mrs
Mack lured Guldensuppe to cottage at
Woodside, L. l., and that 10 that cottage
Thorn waylaid and shot Guldensuppe,
afterward severing the head, dismember
ing the corpse and disposing of the re-
mains IN various ways.
10 the trial Judge Wilmot M. Smith
will preside. District Attorney Youngs
will oondnet the nroseention assistad nv
OK Surrogate August N. Weller and AS
sistant Attorney George W. Davidson.
William F. Sowe and Joseph Moss will
defend Martin Thorn, whose trial will
precede that of Mrs. Mack, and Emanuel
Friend and w. II. Hirsch will attend as
counsel for the woman.
During the examination of talesmen a
faint smile played around Thorn's mouth,
and at times he appeared to be one of the
unconcerned persons in the court room.

The Confidence mine has about 20 men
employed and is producing sufficient ore
to keep the mill steadily at work with
good results. The mine never looked as
we'll as at present, the ore bodies are
large and the ore of good grade. large
| force of laborers and mechanics are
at work upon the pipe line making
every efTe,a to complete the water power
system ere cold weather imposes an OBJ
stacle to the work. Abut $50 men are on
the company pay roll all told.
The Maud s. mine has temporarily sus-
pended operations. The mine has never
before shown as rich ore as is now devel
oped in the lowest workings. On the
375 foot drift from the shaft below the
adit level there is body of high grade
ore. Ralph Gunther, mine superintend-
ent, arrived with a shipment of seven
tons for the Silver City reduction works.
The tirs5-class ore runs over 5000 per ton
in gold and silver. The ore was extracted
from a,winze which has been sunk 80
feet below from the bottom of the
375 foot level .at O point 400 feet west
from the main shaft. A sample of Sc
lected ore, from the bottom of this winze
| which was shown an Enterprise repre-
sentative runs over $500 per ton in gold
and silver. The same ore body has been
developed 10 the west drift upon the 300
foot level, The 800 foot level has been
driven nearly 1000 feet west from the
shaft aud the 375 foot level has attained
a length of 450 feet west from the shaft.
The 800 and 375 foot levels have a much
greater depth upon the vein than indi-
Gated by the numbers given, as these are
depths of the levels below the adit level,
which is more than 200 feet below the
apex of the vein, where the shaft was
started. In addition to the rich ore be-
fore mentioned the second class ore, of
which there is large body, runs $40 to
$50 per ton in gold and silver. 1t is con-
fidently expected that the mine will soon
be in operation again as the pump will
be kept at work when required to keep
the water out. Hon. Alvin F. Sortwell
mayor of Cambridge, Mass, one of the
principal owners of the property, lie ex-
pected to arrive soon and that operations
will be resumed upon his arrival.

Chinese Money.

A kind of Chinese money which Is
largely manufactured and sold is worthy
of mention, although the traveller need
not trouble himself with it except as a
curiosity. This is prepared for the spe-
cial purpose of burning at the graves Of
deceased relatives as an offering to the
dead. The denizens of the other world
are supposed to require and to be capa-
BILE of receiving money in this way, but
the Chinaman is far too practical a per-
son to part in such fashion with the
currency Of the empire. Instead he buys
for few cash large supply of sill
vered and gilded pieces of paper or of
imitation coins blocked out of cardboard.
Although these have no purchasing
power ON earth, they are supposed to
count for much in the transactions of
the spirit world. By this practice one is
reminded of an old story of miser who
left his belongings to his son on condi-
ton that certain sum of money should
be buried in the coffin with him. The
son was, however, chip of the old
block and carried out his fathers wishes
by placing in the coffin a crossed check
for the required amount, assured that it
had little chance of being presented at
his banker S. chambers Journal
