MARTIN THORN'S TRIAL
SURPRISING PROGRESS MADE IN THE
SELECTION OF A JURY.
Twelve Men Secured Yesterday With
out TrOuble-HOyv Guldensuppe's
Alleged Slayer Appeared.

NEW YORK, Nov. S.-Surprising prog
ress was made to-day in the trial
for murder of Martin Thorn, in
the Queens county court of Oyer and Ter
miner, at Long Island City, and when court
adjourned the jury had been completed. 1t
has been expected that the obtaining of the
jury would be long and tedious process,
owing to the wide publicity that has been
given to the crime with which Thorn is
charged and the supposed prejudice against
him.
The cause, known as the People VS.. Mar
tin Thorn, is based on the discovery in
June last in East river, and in Ogden's
woods, north of this city, of portions of one
human body. The head was missing. BY
q series of curious links in a chain of cir
cumstantial evidence, the dismembered re-
mains have been identified by a number
of witnesses as portions of the body of
William Guldensuppe, a rubber in Turk
ish bathhouse in this city. The story of the
crime and the arrest of Thorn and Mrs.
Augusta Mack were told fully in yester-
days dispatches. Briefly, it is alleged that
Mrs. Mack lured Guldensuppe to cottage
in Woodside, Long island, where she said
she was about to establish a baby farm;
that in a room in that cottage Thorn way

How the News was Received.

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. S.-The news that
the United States Supreme Court had de-
cided not to interfere with the execution Of
Durrant spread quickly over the city to-
day, and crowds of interested people read
the announcement eagerly from the news
paper bulletin boards. The decision of the
Supreme Court was not unexpected here,
and apparently only Durrant and his at
torneys seemed to have any hope that the
murderer would be saved from the gallows.
Warden Hale, of San Quentin, who is in
Washington, wired the news to Warden
Edgar.
District Attorney Barnes, who conducted
the sensational trial, the result of which
was the conviction of Durrant for the muir
der of Blanche Lamont, was much pleased
with the decision. He is convinced that
Durrant committed the murder, and has
chafed at the delay in carrying out the
sentence. Mr.. Barnes says that Durrant
would not have to be resentenced. He held
that all that was necessary would be for
the district attorney, when he received Of
fetal notice of the decision, to go into court
and ask for an order to proceed with the
execution, and that a day be fixed for it.
The decision OF the Supreme Court has
paved the way for the execution of five
other murderers who have been sentenced
to death, but whose executions have been
deferred pending the decision In the Dur
rant case. Among these are Train Wrecker
Worden, Harvey Allender, of San jose, and
kbarks, of San Diego who butchered an
aged couple.
Durrants parents were notified this morn
ing of the courts decision, and were deeply
affected. Mrs. Durrant wert, but said her
son was innocent, and that she did not yet
give up hope that she would be Vindicated
and his innocence proved. District Attorney
Barnes stated that the only thing the at
torneys for Durrant could do now was to
appeal from the order of the Supreme Court,
but that he thought they would not try this,
as they were sure to fail
Attorney Eugene Duprey, Of counsel for
the condemned man, expressed considerable
surprise when informed that the case had
already been decided, as he was under the
impression that II was TO have been heard
on Nov. 10. He said that he did not con-
slider the decision final. He refused, how
ever, to discuss the question as to what ac-
ton he proposed to take in the premises
and -intimated that he was afraid that snap
judgment would be taken by the state Off
ciais if he announced his intention for the
future.

CHICAGO, Nov. S.-Judge Grosscup, of
the Federal Bench, to-day handed down an

exhibitors from France had loss of Sl5 900
combined. The court did not fix the amount

AFTER A GREAT TRUST.
Contempt Proceedings Against the
Standard Oil Company.

COLUMBUS, o., Nov. S.--Contempt pro-
ceedings were brought in the Supreme
Court this afternoon by Attorney General
Monnett against the Standard Oil Com
pany. 1t is claimed the company has not
abided by the decision of the Supreme Court
of March 2, 1892, in the case of state ex
rel d. K. Watson, attorney general VS. the
Standard Oil Company. 1t was charged in
that suit that trust known as the Stand
ard Oil Trust had been formed. The Su-
preme Court held that the alleged trust was
in conflict with the laws of the State and
could not be maintained. In the information
filed by the attorney general to-day it is
charged that the trust has not been dis
solved, but that, under the pretense of
winding up its affairs, the trust has ar
ranged to continue indefinitely. The infor-
nation on which the contempt proceedings
are begun was furnished by George B. Rice,
of Marietta, who is represented by w. l..
Flagg, of New York, and Z. b. Kinkead
of Columbus. Tomorrow the Supreme Court
will fix the date on which the Standard Oil
Company shall be cited to appear in court
to answer the charge that it has ignored
the decision of the court.
