HE asked me to go home and come
back at 5 o'clock. When l came back
that evening Thorn had everything
packed in bundles. He handed me a
bundle, which he said contained Guild
ensuppes clothes, and he took another
bundle. which was wrapped up in gray
colored paper. He said that it was
Guldensuppe's head and that 1t was
done up in plaster of paris. We took
a trolley car and went over to New
York on ferry boat"
"On what ferry?"
Il don't know. I am stranger to
the city and cannot say. When we
reached New York l went home and
Thorn went some other place. I cut
open the bundle and found clothes"
Whose clothes?" asked the prosecu-
ton.
William Guldensuppe's," replied the
woman, emphatically.
II saw Thorn that evening again,
and he told me to meet him the follow
ing morning Saturday at the Thirty
fourth street ferry
In relating what had been done with
the various parts of GuldenSuppe' S
corpse, Mrs. Mack said that when she
went back to the cottage at o'clock
Thorn had everything tied up in parcels,
some of them in the oilcloth that she
had purchased in Long Island city
When they were ready to leave the cot
tage she took one parcel and Thorn an
other. Hers contained Guldensuppe' 3
clothing and in Thorn's parcel was the
dead mans head. which he had incased
in plaster Of paris in tine wash tub of
the cottage. They went directly to a
ferry-which one she did not know
and she went to the front Of the boat
and Thorn stayed on the rear. Soon
after the boat was in mid-stream
Thorn rejoined her and said that he had
thrown the head overheard. On reach
ing New York she went to her house,
where she burned the parcel containing

Thorn was then handcuffed to Capt.
Methyen and led out of a side door,
while Mrs. Mack remained seated in
the witness chair in charge of deputy
sheriff and talked to- the court inter-
prefer until the court room was clear
ed. Then she was conducted through
the side passage from the court room
and was taken into the district >attOr-
ney's private Office, where she will re-
main during the recess.
Mrs. Nack's redirect testimony was
resumed after recess. Replying to At
torney Weller's questions. she said
that Martin Thorn had long-bladed
knife.
She said Thorn gave it to her the
evening of the killing, and she retain
ed it until they were both riding to-
gether on Saturday Thorn asked Ter
about it and she gave it to him. When
she did so he threw it away on the
side of the road some distance from
Woodside. but she could not locate the
exact place.
Later on Mr.. Howe asked for The re-
volver which the detectives found in
Mrs. Nack's apartments. When it was
produced it was carefully examined ny
the attorneys and then by Mr.. Howe.

She said it belonged to Guldensuppe
and after he and Thorn had quarreied
Guldensuppe unloaded it and put it
away in a closet.
Coroner Tuthill. of New York, was
then called TO prove that :he severa,

three bundles belonged TO tie same

and up into the galleries, which were
crowded with men and women
During her direct examination Mrs.
Mack broke down and cried, but this
mad no effect ON the prisoner, and, if
anything, he seemed to enjoy her dis
comfiture, as the old-time grin played
around his mouth
Attorney Weller showed Mrs. Mack
four photographs of Guldensuppe,
which she identified. He asked:
why do you make this statement %
Mrs. Mack replied: 81 don't want to
have it on my mind"
Then she began to cry. Sh tossed
about in the witness chair, used her
handkerchief and sobbed for some time.
Her emotion affected nearly everyone
In the court room. 1t was some min
utes before she resumed her testimony
and she said:

science. No promise of mercy has
been made me. | wanted t clear my
mind: l don't care what hangs over
me or what they Go with me-
Mr.. Howe began his cross-examina-
ton in very insinuating way, and soon
made her acknowledge that the house
in Woodside was rented for the sole pur-
pose of killing Guldensuppe there; that
she decoyed him there; that when she
bought the oilcloth and other wrap

Thorn had a syringe and said hi
would put something in it which would
destroy my eyesight and that Of Gull
densuppe."
Was ii a fear OF this syringe that
made you buy the oi,cloth before the
mar was dead and the same fear after
he was dead which made you burn his
clothing?'
yes"
Mr.. Howe continued his cross-exami-
nation step by step till he had led the
witness to repeat her whole story as
given in her first confession. 1t did
not differ materially from that brought
out in the direct examination.
How many children have you
killed." asked Mr.. Howe

How many children, still born in

Mack said:
II never gave money or offered
money to any one to kill my husband.
l never said So
Mrs. Mack said she never used in
struments in her profession as mid
wife, and that when she had case
where instruments had to be used she
always called in doctor.
Mr.. Howe changed his tactics after
this, and turning suddenly, &c shouted
at the top of his voice: Mrs. Mack,
was it not you who shot Guldensuppe ?"
The woman was startled, DuI re-
gained herself in a moment, and half
shrieked: mo, l did not

tage and found the other bundles still
there. On leaving Thorn carried one
Of the bundles with him and they again
crossed the ferry and Thorn stayed on
the rear of the boat until it had nearly
reached New York, when he came to her
and said that he had dropped his bundle
in the water. 1t contained part OF the
dismembered body.
The woman then told in detail how
the other packages were brought in the
surrey and deposited in the river and
the Orden woods near High bridge.
During the recital, Thorn's lawyers
left their accustomed seats near the
prisoner and were accommodated with
chairs closer to the witness. Thorn
listened to every word with his lips
closely compressed, his hands clasped
and resting on his knees. Frequently
his lips became dry and parched, and
occasionally he would moisten them
with his tongue. His face bore that
same stolid look of Indifference which
il has worn all through, but his eyes
were restless. When he was not gaz-
ing at his accuser he was casting fur
tive glances around the court room

Did you not begin that letter with
the words: My Dear Boy?"
The witness would not say whether
these were the words or not.
You said to-day that you were never
intimate with Thorn; that you only
loved him because he threatened Won
ana because he was a gentleman. Now
this letter was written three months
after the murder, and you loved him
still when you used these words in the
letter?'
The witness nodded an assent.

she sent him potatoes and addressed
him as Dear Martin and Dear
Child, and suggested that they end
their lives, was translated. She ac-
knowledged that she wrote the letter,
but insisted that she had never loved
him at any time and was pretending
that she did only because she was afraid
of him.

Other witnesses were called wkess
testimony was mainly IN the line OF
identifying the body Of Guldensuppe
Bernard Bonla, the owEcr OF the
Woodside cottage, followed the bath
attendants on the witness stand. He
identified Thorn and Mrs. Mack as the
two persons who, representing them
selves as Mr.. and Mrs. Braun, hired
the cottage from him last June.
Adjournment of court for the day was
fastened by the rostration OF Juror
Magnus Lansen. He will probably be able
to resume his place in the jury box to-
morrow.

Did Thorn tell you that he used
ammonia to get the blood out OF the
foor?" asked Mr. Weller.
Mrs. Mack said he did. but that she
did not help him. She answered all
questions in business-like way and
did not seem much affected.
As the examination was proceeding
Thorn sat with his head bent slightly
forward and listening intently At
times he would fold his arms and keep
them in that position for five Or six
minutes, and then he would clasp
either thumb in the opposite hand and
rest his hands on his knees.

How many children did you kill,

Il never killed one to my knowledge,

swered the woman with emphasis.
Several other questions in this vein
followed, to all of which the witness re-
piled with positive denials.
Mr.. Howe retired from the court room
for a few minutes, during which time
Lawyer Moss and the prisoner held an
earnest consultation. Thorn seemed to
be very deeply interested and whispered
to his counsel with lips close TO the
latter's ear.
Mrs Mack, in reply to Mr.. Howe, ac-
knowledged that while in the Queens
county Jail she wrote letter to Thorn.

CONEY ISLAND, N. Y, July 3.-Nc
one has a correct idea of Coney Island
who has not seen it. The majority Of
non-visitors have hazy idea that it is
somewhere along the coast near New
York City and over it the breezes from,
the ocean blow increasingly, and the
pretty girl wanders by the beach all day
long. How different the reality. Coney
Island is no Elysiun, except for those
persons who believe strongly in the
words of the late P. I. Barnum about the
chief delight of the public.
There are very many ways of getting
to the most populated resort in the vicin-
ity of New York. You can go by steam
er, steam car. trolley car, or the ubi-
quitous bicycle. Then there are the
ways in which one may travel IL he

of ancient history in the fact that they
lead to the Rome of the pleasure seeker

fact it might with greater truthfulness
be called Sodom or Gomorrha.
Anyone who has ever visited one OF
the big railroad stations knows how just
outside he encounters line of men who
shake their forefnger at him and shout

DUNRAvEN STILL AT 1T
Devotes His Time Now to Kicking ir
the House of Lords

What has become of Dunraven is ask
ed now and then. In yachting he has
ceased to vex, and now devotes his Pc
culiar talents to making things unpleas-
ant for the English government. For a
time after he went back to England from
his cuttings up" in this country he
remained quiet. The prince of Wales
sent for him to come down to Sandring-
ham, where he received soothing dose
of royal advice. He took it so well that
he was made lieutenant of an Irish
county and it was fondly hoped that
the earl would thereafter confine himself
to the care of his estates and the holding
of spiritualistic seances at Adare manor.
But no; he is an hereditary legislator
of the United Kingdom, and as Baron
Henry he has seat in the house of lords
and he is putting his oar into the pro-
ceedings of the upper house with an
II still live" sort of persistency A few
weeks ago the erratic nobleman rose in
the house of lords and moved that the

motion one night and there was large
attendance at the house of people of
fashionable London who went to see
just how many kinds Of a chump the
earl would make of himself. He afford

those who have fallen into certain ruts
from which they cannot be drawn by
the new conditions that surround them.
Buena Park, like her sister villages,
takes much pride in her excellent
schools and f1ourishing church organ

business in the town, the people being
temperate and of high moral character
refuse to grant license for such busi-
ness.
WESTMINSTER
Orange county is in very prosperous
condition and the business of its towns
and villages is increasing with every
passing year Especially is this true of
the condition of the growing little vii
lage of Westminster. Westminster is
located nine miles west of Santa Ana
in the midst of one of the most prosper
Gus dairy sections in the state. Besides
an immense output of dairy products,
the locality produces large quantities
of barley. hay, corn and hogs. West
minister contains about 800 inha bitants.

sessor's books. shows the acreage for
1896 in hay and cereals. and also that of

lustrated by the actual time he made,
with the eight, 3:1S1A. Seeing that no one
else had ever attempted such feat, it
stands today as a worlds record.
The team as they were hitched were
mainly horses bred by Mr.. Fuller on
his Vermont farm. Al the pole he had
two Hambletonian bred trotters Fleet

The eight were hitched to an old style
Whtechapel cart, with pole, but there
were no spinner bars, the traces of the
other pairs being hooked in the collars
Of those behind them.
II am perfectly satisfied with what
my pets have DONE" said Mr.. Fuller, in

ing on the little round table with an iron
standard, she looks out from under her
sailor hat with what is intended to be a
smile. but which has rested upon her
face SO long that it has an expression
similar to that worn by the glass eve.
She is waiting for what in her'own terse

Striding along the avenue, particular
ly if it is the Fourth of July, you see one
of those strange specimens of society
sometimes called the gallant, more often
the dude, but who really impresses you
as the cheerful idiot. He stops you and
says: my dear sir, are you aware that
this is the glorious Fourth of July, that
this is the place to have a good time.
See that pretty girl over there?", point

And over he goes and wins-the privi-
lege of paying for two glasses of beer,
if not more.
On the Fourth of July Coney Island is
maelstrom. Into 1t are drawn that
stratum of society which considers beer
and skittles a banquet and variety

cost much to go there, though sometimes
it is expensive in getting away. 1t is

much Of his notoriety with horses Of bic
own breeding and training. Having 80
a new mile record for four-in- hard
team, Mr.. Fuller started In with the en-
thusiasm of youth to set one for six
in-hand team. Two years ago he made,
with six horses, all bred on his Vermont
farm, mile record of three minutes fiat,
and some weeks later he drove. the same
half dozen trotters a mile over Fleet
wood in 2:561s.
But even the old reinsman was not
satisfied; like Alexander, he sighed for
more worlds to conquer. Having driven
four and six horses in record time, why
not set record for eight? The sugges-
tion was agreeable, so Mr.. Fuller early
this spring began breaking in another
pair to go with the original six. Ths
half. dozen trotters had beaten three
minutes. and beaten it handsomely
why not be able to reef two more over a
mile in similar time?
Mr.. Fuller does not hide his light I'M
der bushel. There was great deal Of
talk about the matter, and a leading
-trotting horse man of Boston, becoming
interestedi came forward, saying he
would contribute $1,000 to any New York
charity he would suggest. Other char
liable persons local residents, made sim
liar offers, that when three minutes was
beaten by an eight horse team they also
would subscribe, and the j. Hood
Wright memorial hospital was selected
as the recipient of the gifts.
Last Week about 500 spectators were
on hand at Fleetwood park to see the at

Before trying the eight, Mr.. Fuller
drove his skin hand mile to beat
three minutes. He succeeded in this by
a margin of one second a quarter, the
fractions of the mile being 0:46A, 1:33

Then the starter, Alec Newburger, an
nounced that Mr.. Fuller would drive .
