HEAD1Ess BODY MYSTERY.
Mrs. Mack Arraigned in Court-Police
Make but Little Headway.


Make but Little Headway.
New York, July 1.-The case of the
mutllated portions Of the body found
in the waters around this city has
drawn public attention to the fact that
there must be many crimes committed
in this city which are never brought
to light To-day the waters have given
UP two more unidentified bodies, aud a
woman's leg, encased in a stocking, has
been found. This is hot such an un-
usually big mornings harvest of the
dead from the metropolitan waters,bu
1t attracts more than usual attention
on account Of the leading part played
by the East river In the mystery of
Guldensuppes death.
Mrs Mack was arralgned before
Magistrate Flammer in Jefferson Mark
ct this afternoon. She was accom-
panied by Gordon Of central office
men and her lawyer. Emanuel Friend.
She was visibly nervous and clutched
her hands and her face was remarkably
pale. She stood before the magistrate
watching every move and listened with
eager attention to all the technicalities.
Lawyer Friend objected to his client
being held, There was no proof that
she had committed crime. he said.
1t had been vaguely hinted that she had
been instrumental in the killing Of
Guldensuppe. There was no proof that
the body was Guldensuppe's. True, he
said, there had been a number Of pos
two h11f thprn had
been others equally positive that the
body was not that of Guldensuppe.
He also raised the question Of juris-
diction He insisted that formal COM
plaint be drawn against the woman
He did not know-no one knew-what
crime she stood accused Of How was
she to be protected If there was moth
ing to show what she was accused Of?
The law, he said, made it mandatory
that formal complaint be made.
Magistrate Flammer decided to con-
tinue the preliminary hearing from day
to day until the matter is settled. A
formal complaint will be made when
she Is again arraigned, at o'clock to-
morrow afternoon.
Chief of Detectives O'Brien has thus
far been unable to locate the place
where the mysterious murder took
place He says that If the body at the
morgue is Guldensuppe's, then Mrs.
Mack is implicated In the tragedy. Pri-
vately, he thinks that it Is the bath at
tendant's corpse. He declares that he
has caught the prisoner; Mrs. Mack, in
| many contradictions, while on the 9TH
er hand he has been able to confirm
some of the statements which she has
made to establish her innocence of the
crime. He has found the original Of
the telegram which Mrs. Mack claimed
Guldensuppe sent her last Sunday af-
ternoon asking her to the baths and re-
questing her to tell the superintendent
to put another man In his place tenn
porarily. The message was written in
German, and was signed by the name
"William Guldensuppe." If this tele-
gram is genuine, 1t is considered sufff-
cient proof that Guldensuppe was alive
after the first portion Of the mutilated
corpse was found. Mrs. Mack denies
that she took long ride in carriage
last Saturday afternoon, but Augustus
Streining, the undertaken, says that she
hired the rig.
A physical examination disclosed the
fact that Mrs Mack has bruises on the
inside of both her fore-arms, on the
upper part of her right arm below the
shoulder and on several other portions
of her body. When the suspect, Mrs.
Mack, was searched, $500 was found in
her corsage.
There was belief that Martin
Throm, who is suspected of being
Fred" the boarder who had the trou-
BILE with Gudensuppe in Mrs Mack s
flat several months ago, was the man
! who committed suicide in Jersey City
yesterday. This has since been Off
cially denied.
DR.. Tracey of the health department
says that Mrs. Mack is not registered
as a midwife, nor does her name ap-
| pear on any certificate of birth filed
| in the bureau of vital statistics. There
is no law to compel amid-wife to regis
| ter, however.
