MARTIN 7HORN'S TRIAL
Brutal Murder With Which He and
Mrs. Mack Are Charged.
DBTEoT1vBwORK OF REPORTERS,

when the Police Were Moving Blind
Iy the Newspaper Men Secured the
Identification Of Guldensuppe's Re-
mains and the Arrest OF His slayers.
New York, Nov. ga murder as
shocking in the nendish details of its
execution as ever took place within
the confines of a great city was pre-
sumably committed on Friday, June
%, In a lonely cottage at Woodside, L.
l.. William Guldensuppe, a Turkish
bath attendant, was the victim, and
Martin Thorn, a barber, and Augusta
Mack, a midwife, stand accused Of be-
ing his murderers. Today the trial Of
Thorn began in Long Island City be-
fore Judge Maddox.
No murder was ever more carefully
planned, nor did murderers ever take
more pains to cover up their tracks by
effectually disposing of the remains Of
their victim. Yet within "a hours 1t
was known to the world that a murder
had been committed, and the pursuit
Of the butchers had been begun.
Two boys, John Mcguire and James
McKenna, were preparing for their
afternoon dip" on June &c at the foot
of East Eleventh street. when the sight
Of a rather strange looking bundle
floating with the tide fastened their
movements. In a moment they were
in the water and towing the bundle in
shore. Once back on the dock the boys
lost no time in cutting the stout cord
which was wound around their prize
and undoing the roll of oilcloth which
formed the opter covering. There were
other coverings of heavy brown paper
and cheese cloth, and last of all the
mutilated trunk of a man, with the
arms folded across the breast. 1t was
the upper portion of the body, from the
hips to the throat. The arms, strangely
enough, had been allowed to remain,
but the cutting of the neck and the
trunk had been carefully done From
the breast a slice of skin had been re-
moved n over the spot the I'M
fortunate mans arms had been placed
as If to conceal 1t.
On Sunday morning, June q, a man
and two boys while picking berries in
Ogden woods, near Washington bridge,

The second mate, Louis Laforce, told
a narrowing story to the crew of the
Mariposa. He said that in the rush Of
the men from the hold one of them, a
Waterman, was trampled to death. The
crew was frantic TO get out of the place.
Six or eight, he said, must ave been
drowned like rats in the hold. They
were not warned of the sinking of the
boat. The first long dip Of the stern
was the first intimation they had of
the final danger, and hen they made
a frantic rush to get on deck. The
hatchway was too small to let them
through together, and the result was
that one of them was trampled to death
and several were left to drown.
