Judge Newburger hoard arguments yester-
day In the Court OF General Sessions on the do
murrers to the Indictments of Mrs. Augusta
Mack and Martin Thorn, who are accused Of
numbering William Giodsensuppe, the Turk
ish bath rubber Both Of the prisoners wero
cool and didn't seem to mind tho staros Of tho
people in tho court room. They sat close to-
gether, but didn't speak or even nod to one an
other during tho proceedings.
Before they went to court there was an In
teresting scene in the Tombs. Mrs. Mack was
very anxious to mako good appearance In
court, and she induced Matron Smith TO send
to her apartments and get all Of her bcst
dresses. When her wardrobe arrived sho spent
an hour looking 1t over and trying to decide
| which garment would be tho most becoming.
| She finally selected o black silk skirt, steel
| gray silk waist and a black hat, plentifully
| Bprinkled with red rosos.
Thorn didn't bother to do nuch moro than
| shave himself and brush his clothes. He looked
| neat and clean, however, and his prison life
| doesn't seem to have had bad effect on him.
| There was a largo crowd waiting to get in the
| court room and tho court officers showed the
Same Dau Judgment LnhU tney Always uO ~ uik
| trials about whom to admit and whom to keep
| out. Lawyers, who had right to admission
| wero absolutely barred by the attendants,
while drovos Of women who wero hanging
around from curiosity were let in. Friends Of
| tho court officers were allowed to enter, but not
| more than half o dozen lawyers were nble tC
| hear the arguments. A number of complaints
| about the matter were made to the Judge:
The arguments of Lawyers Howe and House
| representing Thorn and Mrs. Mack respectively
| were about the same and on the lines OF Mr.
| Howe's contentious in the habeas corpus pro
| ceedings before Supreme Court Justice Truax
| The principal point was that the indictments
| were worthless, the Grand Jury had nc
| jurisdiction In the case, the alleged crime hav
sistant District Attorney Lindsay maintained
| that the Indictments were all right but he
| didn't make q very earnest argument. 1t IL
| pretty well recognized that the District Attor
| ney's office believes that conviction found In
this county would not stand in the higher courts
| and Is willing that the case should be trans
| ferred to Queens county. Mr.. Howe for pre-
| anxious to win his case to-day. Judge New
| burger reserved decision In the case.
Tho authorities sent Perrin II. summer, thu
| swindler to Sing Sing yesterday. Sumner had
| been allowed to stay in the Tombs because ht
told tho police no thought he could find out
from Thorn what the latter had done witt
Gieldsensuppes head.
Detective Donahue Of Police Headquarters
| took Attendants Gardner and Sherpe OF the
| Murray Hill Baths to the Morgue yesterday te
| identify the legs of Giedsensuppe.
| The men said they had identified the othel
| portions OF tho body before Detective Kranish
