GIRLS DEATH LAID TO MRS. MACK
Sad Case That Paid the Accused
Woman l. bPrnily.

New York, Nov 1S.-Lawyer Howe,
the counsel of Martin Thorn, saws he
has evidence to prove that Mrs. Mack
was the direct cause of the death of a
young woman who had been the sweet
heart of a wealthy New Yorker. He
declares he will bring out the story
during the trial. Mr.. Howe will not
admit that he received the foundation
of his facts from Martin Thorn, but
he does say he knows Mrs. Mack feels
that she was responsible for the young
woman's death, as well as the murder
of the girls baby.
Money was freely distributed, Mr.
Howe says, before the young woman
died, quite alone, in a small Connecti-
cut city, and Mrs. Mack received more
than her share of the wealthy mans
libprality

THE MARKETS.
Wall street Review.

New York, Nov. 1S.-The volume of
transactions on the stock exchange to-
day was even smaller and changes In
prices even less than yesterday. Prices
Of securities nave apparently come to
a condition of equilibrium and specula-
tion is for the time being dead. Even
the small changes in prices which oc-
Cured today and which were nearly all
gains, were due to the manipulative
operations with which the room traders
amused themselves. AS the separa-
tions involve the matching on the buy
ing order with a corresponding selling
order for the purpose Of attracting out
side buying or selling the net result,
in the absence of the outside opera
tions, is close to nothing. Total sales
were 147,600 shares.
