Now York. July Z. 1897,

There is no longer mystery about the
tragedy which first came to the. public
knowledge OH June Goth, when some boys
playing on the pier at the foot OF East
Eleventh street, discovered floating in
the river Il bundle which contained a
portion of a human body. Martin
Thorn, according to the detective hu-
reau has confessed that he planned
with Mrs Mack, and himself committed
the murder Of William Gulticnsuppe Il
Turkish bath masseur and the former
lover of Mrs. Mack. There ure some IN
coESistenc!cs in the story given out
by the police, and which is alleged to
have reached them at second hand,
presumably from John Dolphin. a for
mer friend of Thorn, who last night led
the police to Thorns place Of conceal
mcnt.
According to his confession The mur-
der OF Guldensuppe was committed on
Friday. June 23til, in the house. at
WoCdSidc, l.. T., which had been rented
by Mrs. Mack ostensbly for baby farm
On Monday, the statement SAYS Thorn
went early to the Woodsde house and
hid in closet III the upper floor In

beside him WAS q two-pound package OF
plaster Of paris. He waited for the ar
rival OF Mrs Mack and Guldensuppc. lie

| noise could spoil his carefully laid plans
1t was between 10 and II O'Clock in
nc morning when Mrs. Mack and her
Nlctin, GuldenSurpe. drove up in the
surrey. which has been mentioned in
the previous stories OF the mystery
! Thorn heard Mrs Mack ask Guldensuppe
few questions about the house and
heard Guipensuppe answer. Then Mrs

Grand Juror Carroll, Put Upon the Rack,
Declines to Give Up One Jot of His
Rights as Citizen and as an
Honest Man.

SAN JOSE, Nov. 22-Sensations
were piled on sensations to-day in
the courtroom of w. G. Lorigan, presid-
ing Judge of the Superior Court of the
County of Santa Clara.
He had before him the Grand Jury for
the purpose, as he stated, of ascertaining
who the grand juror was who had dis
closed the proceedings of that body with
reference to the two indictments against
Justice of the Peace Dwyer, which in
dictments had been quashed.
People flocked to the courtroom during
both sessions as if to free performance
of grand opera. Every face present
showed suppressed excitement in high
degree.
The most nervous person in the court
room was the Judge himself. During
81 entire proceedings his jaws twitched
7adauousy, and the tremor of iIFcon-
ssei wrath was plainly perceptible in
- voice.
In the course OF the inquisition he un-
hesitatingly and unqualihedly stated that
the proceedings were not instituted to
vindicate himself, nor to ascertain the
truth or falsity of the articles that have
during the past several days appeared in
The CALL. His purpose, he announced,
was simply to ascertain who the juror or
Jurors were who had made known the
facts that have been published in these
columns.
All but Grand Juror T. w. Carroll
declared they had not divulged any of the
secrets of the body of which they are
members, though several admitted that
they had been asked for information re-
garding Grand Jury matters. Carroll
simply stood upon his constitutional
rights and declined to answer any of the
questions of the Judge. He gave as his
reason for taking this attitude that he
had been informed by his friends a job
had been arranged to cinch him no matter
how he answered. He was further in
formed, he said, that his ruin had been
planned because of the action he had
taken in matters that came before the
Hand Jury.
! Because of this refusal to answer ques-
tons Judge Lorigan assumed the moral
guilt of Juror Carroll and administered to
him one of the most severe verbal castiga-

tween c. W. Collins, president of the
Purity Club of San Jose, and ]. P. Fay, a
member OF the City Council. Judge
Lorigan took no notice of this
breach of the decorum OF the
court claiming he had not witnessed the
incident, but hardly had the two men
been separated when the Judge, rising IN
his seat, leaned forward and hourishing
his arms In a deprecatory manner called
out:
Gentlemen. that must STOP"
District Attorney Herrin gton, to whom
Judge Lorigan referred the matter of
prosecuting Carroll, is not in town, and is
not expected to return this week.
II. L. Partridge, his chief deputy, says
be will take the matter up as soon as
some other points are developed in con-
necion with it. He expects to be able to
do this in two or three days.

JUDGE LORIGAN INTERROGATES THE GRAND JURY

violated the secrets of the Grand Jury
room.
Juror Saunders said he had been ap-
preached by person and asked concern
ing the Dwyer indictments, and he had
answered that he did not think felony had
been committed, and that for this reason
the Grand Jury had not indicted Dwyer
He was not asked to disclose the name of
the man who had approached him.
Juror Altman's examination was brief
and satisfactory to the cuur who then
again questioned Saunders, asking him if
he had been approached by any members
of the press.
Saunders replied in the negative. The
Judge asked him if he had not been
questi oned by town people who wanted 10
know what was going on. Saunders
answered tn at such was the case.
Jurors Fish er ana Waldorf came out of
the examination unscathed. Juror Wise
testified that he had been asked if the
matter published in THE CALL was true.
He replied, he said, that he had nothing
TO say.
Perfectly right" commented the court
in fatherly way. Juror Hollister passed
the ORD cal in comfort and safety.
Juror Carroll was next on the list His
exanin atlon was as follows:
The court-You have pretty generally
attended the sessions of the Grand Jury9
Carroll-Yes, sir.
Have you at any time disc osed to any

com pelled to stand. Some M inor matters
were quickly disposed Of and then came
the announcement that every one was
anxiously awaiting:
Tho clerk will please call the names oil
the Grand Jury, and those who are n not
seated on the bench will step forward and
take their places" remarked Judge Lor.
igan.
The roll was called and all were found
present except Lyman S. Bare. The
Grand Jury is comprised of the following
citizens: Nathaniel Cook, foreman
Charles H. Cropley, James T. Rucker,
secretary; William Phelps. Robert Walk
er, Walter L. Chrisman, Robert McCub-
bin, Martin Hogan, Harvey Swickard ].
S. Mockbee, Simon Saunders, Fred Alt
man, Friacco Fisher. ]. A. Waldorf. Miles
Hollister, Frank B. Wise, John Flannery,
T. w. Carroll. Lyman S. Bare.
Judge Lorigan charged the jury in the
following language: You swear that
you will return true answers to all ques-
rions propounded to you by the court re-
garding matters thai come up in the ses-
sions of the Grand jury"
Affirmative replies were made by all
the jurors. Addressing Mr.. Cook the
Judge continued; "You are the foreman
of the Grand Jury?"
Eyes, sir" was the response.
Zone of the jurors who was called here,
Mr.. Bare, failed to respond. OF course,
the inquiries that 1 am about to make
should be made with all the mem bers oi
this body present.
Forman Cook informed the court that
Mr.. Bare was now i'll, suffering from in
juries received some years ago, and had
not been able to attend any of the meet
ings of the Grand Jury for two months.
The Judge made inquiry of Secretary
Rucker regarding Bare's absence and,
after referring to his minutes, Rucker in.
formed the court that Bare had not at
tended any session OF the Grand Jury
since September 20.
The San Francisco call., 1897-11-23

Addressing the grand jurors, Judge
Lorigan spoke as follows: when your
body was called here an oath was taken
by the foreman and similar oath wa:
ad dministered to the mem bers of the Grand
Jury [ will read that oath now."
The oath was then read as follows:
You, as foreman of the Grand Jury, will
diligently inquire into ana true prese tmen
make of all public offences against the people
of this State, committed or tria bic within thii
county, of which you shall have or can obtain
legal evidence. You will keep your owr
counsel and that of your fellows and of the
Government and will not. except when re-
ouired in the due course of judicial proceed
iugs, disclose the testimony of any witness
examined before you, nor anything which
you or any other grand juror may have said
nor the manner in which you or any Other
grand juror may have voted on any matter
before you. You Will present no person
through hatred or i'll will, nor leave any un
prese nted through fear, favor or affection ol
for any reward or the promise or hope thereof
but in all your presentments you will present
the truth the whole truth and nothing but
the truth, according to the best OF your skill
and understanding, SO help you God.
Judge Lorigan then went on: 'Inde-
pendent of this oath there are provisions
of the law requiring that all matters
which take place before the Grand Jury
should be held in invIolate secrecy as to
any action the Grand Jury may take and
any final indictments that may be found.
And the same secrecy is equally imposed
upon the court. 1t would be travesty
on the law if the court should be per-
mitted to do what the Granu Jury is pro-
hibited from doing.
ut has gone abroad that a mem ber oi
the Grand Jury-one mem ber-has dis
closed certain matters which took place
before that body. 1t is due to you as a
matter OF justice that this court should
bring you here and inquire if such dis
closures have been made. 1t is a matter
of no consequences whether the matters
involved are true or false. My object is
to ascertain whether any one of the Grand
jury has disclose matters of secrecy.
want to suggest to you now that grand
iuries are sometimes inclined to think
that they are omnipotent. Gentlemen,
YOU are mistaken. | take this opportun-
ity of impressing it severely upon your
minds that you are laboring under gross
m stake.
Juror Cook was closely questioned as to
whether he had at any time or place or to
any person disclosed any of the secrets. or
the proceedings, or testimony. or matters
The San Francisco call., 1897-11-23

OF any kind which had transpired in the
Grand Jury room, If so, whether any person
! at any time or in any place had approached
him and solicited in formation concerning
such matters. To all these questions ne
| answered in the negative.
Juror Cropley, on being similarly inter
rogateu, replied that he had not disclosed
any OF the matters upon which secrecy
was imposed. He stated that he had
talked with outsiders only about those
things which were published in THE CALL,
and referred particularly to two indict-
| ments.
what did you mean by speaking of in
dictments?' asked the court.

were found"
When James. 7. Rucker, the next Juror
| put on the rack, was asked if any one had
approached him and solicited information
regarding the Grand Jury, he stated that
two gentlemen claiming to represent The
CALL had called on him. He did not

questioned the court.
Nothing that took place in the Grand
Jury room," responded Rucker. "They
had story and asked me to verify It, L
declined to give any information regard
ing 1t. One part of the story was that
you had gone in to the Grand Jury un-
solicited. l told him that was mis-

at this point Rucker was sharply inter
rupted by the Judge, who remarked: 81

and Fuckers examination was over.
Jurors Phelps. Walker and Chrisman
had divulged nothing. they said, nor had
any one approached them for information.
Juror McCubben testified that he had
| been approached about certain matters,
but had refused 10 speak regarding them.
Judge Lorigan asked him If he had been
approached for information for publica-
| tion by any person claiming to represent
| a newspaper, and he replied that be had
not been.
Jurors Hogan, Swickard and Mockbee
each in turn said they had not in any way

gazed straight and unfinchingly at the
Judge.
So bitter and angry were the words as
they rolled forth in tones of passiona te
fervor, that large numbers of the friends
OF the jurIst declared he had overstepped
the bounds of justice. decency and dig
nifty, and many regrets were expires ed by
b is friends over his malevoIent address.
1t is claimed by local attorneys that
Judge Lorigan had no legal jurisdiction in
the matter, and. therefore, no right to
question, criticize or punish even by rep
rimand any of the Grand Jurors.
