May BE Called AS Witness.
NEW YORK, Nov. 24-The second.
trial of Martin Thorn for the murder
of William Guldensuppe, the bath rub
Der, was fairly started yesterday after
noon in the Queens county court be-
fore Justice Maddox. The lawyers for
the prosecution and defense diligently
endeavored TO secure jury as quickly
as possible, and when an adjournment
was taken the day before seven jurors
had been sworn. An additional panel
of 50 was made up, and from these and
the remainder of the first special panel
Of talesmen the five other jurors were
selected before / o'clock yesterday.
AS soon as the jury was completed
an adjournment for luncheon was or
dered by the court, after which District
Attorney Youngs opened the case for
the prosecution. In a comprehensive
manner he placed the entire case Of
the people against the accused barber
before the court and jury and promised
TO prove everything that was charged
IN the indictment. He spoke for 30
minutes. and as soon as he had finished
the taking OF evidence was begun.
The remainder Of the afternoon ses-
sion was taken up In the examination
OF those who found the three bundles,
each one containing a portion Of the
discovered body. and several police OFF,
GERS we're examined as to the manner
in which the different parts were
brought to the New York morgue
Some Of the bath rubbers who knew
Guldensuppe in life and worked along
side Of him in the baths testified to
the identity OF the remains which were
found In four sections I'm three bundles,
and they were positive that, judging
from peculiar marks in the different
parts. they belonged to the body OF the
missing bath attendant.
Mrs. Mack may be called as n wit
ness. but when a reporter asked the
district attorney whether there was
any significance in the fact that he had
not spoken of Mrs. Mack as a witness
in his opening address and II she would
or would not be n witness during the
second trial Mr.. Youngs replied. ~
cannot answer those questions at this
stage
The lawyers for the defense however,
are quite positive that the woman viii
be a witness. and they are prepared
to make It very warm for her during
her cross examination. That they will
put Thorn on the witness stand TO re-
fute Mrs. Nack's testimony and swear
that IL was she who committed the
murder is now beyond all doubt. Mr.
H0wes questions 10 the talesmen when
they were being examined showed con-
clusively the line of defense he means
70 adopt.
In addition to Thorn's testimony, Il
"a n.
fense will produce witnesses who will
accuse Mrs. Mack Of having committed
other serious crimes, the nature OF
which will not be disclosed by counsel
until II Is made public property In evil
dence.
Both sides are satisfied with the jury
and the defense is particularly wei
pleased with the majority of the ju.
rors in the box. The rulings Of Judge
Maddox have been very impartial. ant
Il is thought that by Monday or Tues
day at the furthest all the evidence ~
the case will be submitted.
