New York, JGtly 9.-The Herald says
that it is able to state on competent au-
thority tl,at Martin Thorn, in addition to
the statements al tributed to him in the
confession given out at police headquar-
tiers last night, ina de complete acknowl-
edgement of his connection with the
crime for which he and Mrs. Mack had
been indicted l,y the grand jury.
This statement, the Herald says, is
made on the authority of a police official
who claims to hare heard the confession
| and who says th;,t Thorn admitted every
thing except that Mrs. Mack had anything
to do with the murder of Guldensuppe.
The information given to the Herald
indicates clearly thatThorn's one concern,
after his arrest, was the protection of
Mrs. Mack. He made no secret of his
warm regard for the woman and he in
sisted that she had nothing to do with
Guldensuppe's death.
st ain perfectly willing to die," Thorn
told the detectives, "but don't want
anything to happen to her.
Some thrilling details of the incidents
at Woodside just before the murder are to
be found in the statements made by
| Thorn.
"Guldensuppe went to the house, said
Thorn, land met Mrs. Mack in the front
yard. The rubber seemed to be uneasy.

was not right, for he turned to Mrs. Mack

Mack. replied, "There is nothing of the
kind don't see what should make you
1 think that"
"Well, all right Guldensuppe said, as
he started into the house.
The woman did not figure in Thorn's
sta iements for a few moments. After
Guldensuppe had become victim, how
ever, he said that Mrs. Mack came into
| the house.
sWell," Thorn said he told Mrs. Mack,
| "It's over"
The woman then caught glimpse of
the man whom he said she had been talk
ing with in front of the house few min
utes before. The sight caused her to start,
| She became intensely nervous and Thorn
sent her back down stairs.
"You wait there, )" he said to her.
After the body was ready my informant
words, he called Mrs Mack up stairs and
| the two packed the two sections of the
| trunk in the oil cloth.
Mrs. Mack, he said, helped him dispose
of these packages, but she had nothing to
do with the head, nor did she know what
he did with it.
II got a bag,'' Thorn was alleged to
have confessed, ''and putting the head
inside, weighted it with heavy rocks.
This done, I went alone and disposed of
the grewsome object"
Thorn then denied again positively and
emphatically that Mrs. Mack had any
thing to do with the killing of Gulden-
suppe.
1he Herald further says that John
Gartha betrayed Thorn through no mo-
tive Of public duty, but because he feared
for his own life, and a startling story
reached the Herald last night to the effect
that Thorn, inl arranging with Gartha
for the meeting on Tuesday night, did it
with view of Turing Gartha away to
Mount Morris Park, where, it is alleged,
he intended taking his friends life.
Gartha possessed much information
about Thorn's movements, both before
and after the killing of Gu1danSuDDa and
