Advertiser says:
Yesterday seven different persons
positively identified the man whose

the Murray hill turkish baths.
A woman who once loved this man
hated him. Two women were jealous
Of him and had threatened him with
revenge.
The positive Identification is made
by the superintendent of the baths and
five attendants, whohave seen the man
naked, day after day, for. years and
knew everv mark on him. He was

on the index finger of Guldensuppe's
left hand. At the morgue DIR. Cosby
instantly identified the cicatrix of the
wound his lance made.
Guldensuppe had been sailor. On
his breast tattooed in India ink the
| bust figure of a woman. 1t covered a
space as large as a mans hand The
butcher who cut him up, cut this out.
Guldensuppe left the baths last Fri
day morning. He disappeared. In all
the four years of his employment there
he had never missed days work. No
word has been received from him.
Guldensuppe lived with Mrs. Augusta
Mack, a midwife, at No. 439 Ninth ave-
nue., near Thirty fourth street. She is
separated from her husband and he
had threatened Guldensuppe.
A man who lived with Nacks before
'Guldensuppe came, and who is Nacks
friend, had openly threatened Gulden-
suppe. The big masseur had supplan-
ted him and had thrashed him after
taking away his pistol.
Mrs. Mack says she does not know
and does not care where Guldeffsuppe
is; that she has not seen him since
Friday morning, the day before the
body was found in East. river.
The night before she had seen him
take another woman's card. The quar-
relied. He made her give him $50 and
went away.

Journal and Advertised reporter went
to Mrs. Nack's home. The rooms were
in perfect order, as If she intended to
live there the rest of her life. Several
hours later the woman had seen her
landlord and given up the fiat. She
had employer four men who were at
work dismantling the rooms. She said
her mother was i'll and she was going
to Europe.
Mrs. Mack vehemently told and re-
iterated to detectives who visited her
at o'clock this morning that Gulden-
suppe was at Mrs. Cunningham's house
No. q Bedford street. She declared
too, that Mrs. Cunningham had been
to her fiat for the mans clothes.
But Guldensuppe was not at Mrs. |
Mrs. Cunningham had |
not gone or sent for his clothes. Be

bath house, told the superintendent |
that Guldensuppe would send for his |
trunk tomorrow Thursday
A little questioning brought forth |
the fact that she and Guldensuppe had
luarreled and separated. She is said

There was another woman who lives
n the upper part of the city to whom
used to send money and
presents.
The people at the bath had no doubt,
Though they had not seen the body,

more than brutal and more than any
Mysterious murder, and they thought
strange he should telegraph to her
