SEVENTH REGIMENT TO REMAIN
The Secretary OF War Has Reseinded tnS
Order for the Exchange of Troops

The Secretary of War Has Rescinded the
Order for the Exchange of Troops
washington. Nov. 1.-THE order OF
the secretary OF war for the Seventh
infantry at Denver and the First at san
Francisco to exchange posts has Deeh
rescinded. and for the present. at least
both regiments will remain wnere
they are. 1t Is customary for regiments
In all arms OF the service to exchange
posts occasionally. but IL Is believed
that this custom will BE- less frequently
observed in the future than In the past.
Since the sale of the Union Pacific rail-
road. ten days ago. the government Is
obliged TO pay cash for the transpOrta-
ton OF troops and supplies. and II Is Tor
this reason alone that the order ex-
changing the First and Seventh regi-
ments was cOuntermanded. AdJutant
General Brock said tonight that the
removal Of the regiments between Den
yer and San Francisco would cost more
money than the War Department cared
to spend for the purpose, and hence the
two regiments would probably remain
ut their present posts for some time.

LONG ISLANDS MURDER CASE.
Mrs. Mack Lays All the Blame Upon
Thorn.

Ms. Mack Lays All the Blame Upon
Thorn.
New York, Nov. l1.-There was an ex-
traordinary turn Of affairs yesterday In
the Thorn murder trial in Long Island
City.
Mrs. Augusta Mack. who was indict-
ell together with her erstwhile para
mOur. Martin Thorn. for the murder OF
her former lover. William Guldensup-
pc. for whom she deserted her legal
husband. appeared in the role OF state
witness against Thorn. to the eonster-
nation OF the latter's lawyers.
For two hours and forty minutes she
remained there. while she told the ter
rible story of how she lured Gulden-
suppe to his death. and In telling the
tale she knew full well that she was
bringing her paramOur to the electric
chair. Frequently their eyes met. but
the woman was not equal to the &C
casiOn. and she always had to turn
away from ThOrn's steadfast gaze.
When she was asked why she had con-
fessed. she replied that she wished to
clear her conscience. and then burst
into tears. But when Lawyer Howe be
gan his crOss-examinntiOn, he handled
her unsparingly and made her own up
to such acts Of generalization that the
majority Of these who heard her adj
missions said that she was the greatest
culprit. and many of those who had
previously evinced antipathy to Thorn
swerved around and pitied him.
ThOrn's lawyers have decided to put
him on the stand when the proper time
comes. and they promise that when he
tells all he knows the court and jury.
a. well as the spectators and reading
public. viii be treated with another
sensa ton.
There is scarcely any doubt as to the
fate which awaits the barber. hut as
vet the prosecution has not stated what
immunity shall be given to Ms. Mack
for the unlocked for position In which
she placed herself.
