New York, July Mrs. Augusta Mack and man supposed to be Mar tin Thorn are under arrest for the mur- der of William Guldensuppe, portion of whose dismembered body was found in the East river and a portion near Highbridge. ...
 Mrs. Mack was arrested at her home on Ninth avenue on Wednesday last and was held for examination.
 The arrest of Thorn was made last night at the southeast corner of One Hundred and Twenty-fifth street and Eighth avenue.
 The work was done so quickly that it attracted no attention from passers- by, and the prisoner was taken to po- lice headquarters without incident.
 Thorn was much changed in appear ance when he fell into the hands, of h. spector O'Briens men. He no longer wore the luxuriant mustache which prompted his friends to class him as handsome man. He was smooth shaven. But he was, if anything, rather more neatly dressed than had been his cus- tom He wore a white fedora hat, a black coat and vest, light, striped trousers and neatly polished shoes.
 The detectives made no effort to ques-
  CT the arrest had been made.
 Exonerates Mrs. Mack.
 ~Jf he talks as freely with Acting In spectcr OBrien as he has with his most intimate friend, John Garth, he will hrow some highly important light upon he manner in which Guldensuppe met his death.
 Thorn, according to a statement made 
 Mack from being in any way responsf. ble for the murder of Guldensuppe.
 He does not admit that he had any thing to do with the crime, or. if he has admitted that, Gartha would not acknowledge it.
 Gartha, who is a married man, living in East Ninety-third street, was em- ployed as a barber by Antonio Marti- nelli of 23S5 Eighth avenue two months ago. He was born in Albany and has known Thorn intimately for several years.
 q first met Thorn nine years ago" said Gartha. "We were introduced in g saloon, where we played cards to- gether.
 Thorn is a passionate card player, and he Is quick tempered and cowardly in his acts while sitting in a game. He came to this country in 1882, from Po- sen, Germany. He still has a large number of relatives there. He came to America alone and has lived in New York nearly all of the 15 years since he left his nativA country.
 Tt has been nine months since Thorn went to board with Mrs. Mack. This was after she had had trouble with her husband and had left him. He thought
 af nd wi boarding there naturally became &C., uuainted with Guldensuppe.
 The Quarrel of Thorn and Guldensuppe. "The two men had a quarrel recently, as has been brought out in the newspa- pers, and I had long talk with Thorn about 1t a day or two after it hap pened.
 Thorn was worsted by Guldensuppe, and he was very angry about it, After we had talked the thing all over Thorn remarked:
 Never mind I'll meet him some time in a dark place, and I'll give him just what he gave me. I'll get square with him..
 Gartha was thunderstruck when on Monday Thorn walked into the place where he is employed. The men made no demonstration, the one probably fearing detection. the other too much amazed to speak.
 aThe visitor. taking a seat with other customers, quietly waited until Gartha's chair was unoccupied. Then, quickly stepping forward, he sat down and or dered the barber to cut his hair.
 The old time friends exchanged slight glances of recognition, but not a word was spoken. Thorns face was smooth shaven when he came in, so that the time he occupied the chair was brief His friend trimmed his hair in a few minutes
 deftly slipped a note into Garthas hand and then left the shop.
 An Appointment For Another Meeting.
 Gartha with difficulty retained his self composure until he could find ar opportunity to look at the note Thorn had placed in his hand.
 When a lull in business came, how ever, he slipped away from his associ- ates and excitedly unfolded the note.
 In it Thorn asked him to meet hin later in the day in the vicinity ot Eighth avenue and One Hundred and Thirtieth street.
 Gartha was given little time out by MT. Martinelli, and he went to the ap. pointed place shortly before 1 o'clock on Monday afternoon. Thorn was wait Ing for him. The two men were togeth. CT until o'clock.
 The details of their talk only they themselves know. That it related al most entirely to the murder of Gulden suppe, the arrest of Mrs. Mack and thu cloud hanging over Thorn is confirmed by Gartha.
 The latter after freely saying tha Thorn declared Mrs. Nacl6's innocence of the crime. has spoken only guarded ly of the~rest of their conversation or Monday afternoon. "Did Thorn acknowledge that he hat any part in the murder?' Gartha wa asked
 NO, he did not" was the reply. Well, did Thorn say anything to yo, I that would lead you to think that h | had anything to do with it?' No" said Gartha. 'I cannot say tha | he did"
 | The two men, when they separated | that afternoon, made another appoint l ment for last night | In the meantime Gartha had told hi l wife of having met Thorn, and she in | sisted that he should inform the detect | ives. This he at first refused to dc | but finally sent her to the central offic | with the information that he woul | meet Thorn by appointment on Tues l day night and would point him out t | the detectives.
 They agreed to meet in the vicinit, | of One Hundred and Twenty-fifth stree
 and Eighth avenue. and both wer | there. So were Acting Inspector O'Brie | and his detectives, and they capture | Thorn just as he was about to greet hi | old friend Gartha.
