New York, July S.-In the mysterious
murder trial the prisoner, Mrs. Mack,
was brought before Magistrate Flam-
mer, who insisted that the police, if
they wanted to detain her further, must
make charge against her.
A complaint was accordingly drawn
up, after the presentation of which and
after hearing an affidavit made by Cen
tral Office Detective Joseph Donohue,
she was held.
A further examination will be had in
her case on Tuesday.
The affidavit charging her with muir
dering Guldensuppe was as follows:
Joseph Donohue of the central police
Office, being duly sworn, deposes and
says that on or about the Goth day of
June 1897, in the city of New York,
Augusta Mack, now here, and another
person, not yet arrested, and that de-
ponent has good reason to believe and
does believe that said Augusta Mack
and said unknown person, both or
either Of them, with force and arms did

meditated design to do unto death the

And did kill and slay the said William

body has been found in the city and
county of New York and was identified
by Frank Gartnsr 20 years old. sham
pooer and rubber, No. los Dupont
street. Brooklyn, and others did iden-
tify the said body as that of the said
William Guldensuppe.
The parts of the body found indicate
f,t hfa
death in a violent and brutal manner,
by the use of some deadly weapon.

ton and belief, that the defendant was
the last person known to have been in
the company of the said william Gull

body found We're wrapped or enveloped
in material which the accused bought
about the time that the said William
Guldensuppe disappeared.

chase Of the said material by the ac-
cused was given to the deponent by

as to the Identification was given to the
deponent by Frank Gartner and others,
as aforesaid.
Wherefore deponent. upon said infor-
nation, which he verify believes to be
true, charges the defendant, Augusta
Mack, and said unknown person, not

the said William Guldensuppe and
prays that the said Augusta Mack be
held to answer, according to law.

Searching For Thorn.
The police are still hunting for Martin
Thorn, the supposed aecomplice of Mrs.
Mack. They admit that with this man
IN their custody they will have adj
vanced far toward the solution of the
mystery which surrounds the murder of
Guldensuppe.
Thorn, however, is not easy TO find.
He has disappeared as completely as II
the earth had opened and swallowed
him. His companions in the barber
shop, Keehn and Vogel, the BARRIERS for
whom he used to work, say that Thorn
used to live at Third avenue and Twen-
ty-first street, but that they did not
know at what address.
An investigation of the houses in that
vicinity failed to show any trace of
Thorn. One woman, a Mrs. Roberts,
who has furnished room house at lO2
East Twenty-first street. said that last
week she had man whose name she
thought was Thorn lodging with her.
He was at the house only few days
Unfortunately however, he did not In
any way resemble the description OF
Thorn. He left the house very sudden
". and she heard nothing more from
him or Of him.
A man who answers in every way the
description of Thorn was employed as
a waiter at Anderson's pavilion al
North Beach. Anderson said that the

been very surly and grumpy and would
not talk about himself at ALL
He left as suddenly as he came. An
derson does not remember what day h'
came to work or what day he departed
Neither does he know the fellows
name.
The Legs Positively Identified.
Frank Brewster, the assistant chirop
odist at the Murray Hill baths, wen

ing examination, after which he mad
the following report:
Those are the legs of William Gul
densuppe, 1 believe. The identification
is as positive as it is possible to max
under the circumstances. Guldensupp
had a short foot, chunky. and the out
side was curved. He had a corn on tn
little toe OF the IlSnt lool, On which

been operated on by me. All thes
marks are on the feet at the morgut

Detective Donohue of police head
