District Attorney YounEs Goes TO Philadel-
phis-Thorn Identified as an EK.Convict.
Mrs. Augusta Mack had q fine time yesterday.
She was out OF prison again. She rode In a car
rage with gentlemen. She walked around in
the fields. She breathed the fresh morning air,
smiled with pleasure at the sun, and when she
went back to her coll she prayed with Pastor
Miles and told him how happy she was in her
now consciousness Of God's love.
Mrs. Mack went to the Woodslde cottage,
where, according to her own confession, she
waited In tho garden on Juno 25 while her new
lover shot tho old lover. She went there to find
the saw with which tho new lover cut up the
old lover. 1t was not q pleasant errand. but she
did 1t r her conscience's sake and presumably
upon advice Of counsel. While she did not
find the bloody weapon, che at least enjoyed her
outing and prayed and returned thanks with
much more fervor than has been her wont
when her cell door once more closed behind her.
The search was made at the instigation Of the
prosecution. The gentlemen who accompanied
her were District Attorney Youngs OF Queens
county. his detective, Dennis Sullivan. and
Police Captain William Methven, who was
ThornIs special guardian during the trial which
ended so abortively on Friday. There was much
Of mystery In the trip, as though now that the
whole dread story has been told by one Of the
~accomplices and the mystery thus ended. It was

terest in tho trial which Is to begin on
Monday next. Tho hour chosen for the
starting was 8 o'clock in the morning. 1t was
yet dark. A carriage drawn by a white and q
bay horse drove up to the jail. 1t contained the
District Attorney, his detective and Capt. Meth
ven. 1t had been hired at Ayers livery stable
In Flushing. All arrangements had been COM
pleted beforehand. Mrs. Mack was ready for
her gruesome jaunt. Night Jailer John Leonard
brought her to the door. She was heavily yelled,
but there was no ono about to recognize her had
this precaution not been taken. She entered
the carriage and tho party drove rapidly up
Jackson avenue toward Woodside.

client.
There Is also much mystery as to District
Attorney .Youngs's doings yesterday. He left
his homo In Oyster Bay on Saturday night, say
ing that he would not be home until Monday or
Tuesday That night he stopped at the Fifth
Avenue Hotel in this city. Yesterday afternoon
there was q consultation there among the law
yers for the prosecution. at 5:55 o'clock no left

road; His object is presumably to assist Methren.
NANNY Friend said last night that he know
nothing OF Mrs. Nack's hunt for the saw.
1t Is probably true" no said, "as / told Mrs.
Mack last Friday to obey Mr.. Youngs's wishes
as she would mine. II Mr. YounRs wished her
to 90 with him, i have no doubt that she did 3d."
This statement, Is interesting in the light Of
the denials made by the prosecution and by Mr..
Friend that there was no dicker between them
as to the disposition of Mrs. Eack's case. 1t 10
argued that were there not some understanding.
MI. Friend would hardly advise his client to
obey all Of Mr.. YounRss wishes.
1t is said that another search will be made
this morning for the missing saw. as Mrs. Nack's
keepers were more or less handicapped ycster.
day in their work by being obliged to keep an
eye on her. The next search will be made with
creator care within tho limits remembered by
Mrs. Mack as the saws hiding place.
