New York, NOV. 23.-The work of Sc
curing jury to try Martin Thorn for
the murder of William Guldensuppe,
was resumed in Long Island City. to-
day. The interest in the trial has
abated somewhat, but it will probably
be revived as the case proceeds. The
first talesman called. today, was Mich
olas Elake. a carpenter of Freeport,
and he was accepted by both sides .,s
the eighth juror.
The jury was completed at 1245 p.
NJ, the two last talesmen accepted be-
ing Valentine Watts. farmer of Lynn
Brook, and Elias Velsor. carpenter
of Fort Washington The court then
took recess for luncheon.
The findingsof the bundle containing
the lower paFt of the trunk in Ogder,
woods was described by Julius Meyer.
his 13-years-3ld son Edgar, and two
police officers. Detective Carr told of
the taking OF the portion found in Og-
den woods tp the police station at
High Bridge and its subsequent trans
fer 10 the mofgue. He also described
marks which were on the lower trunk.
he examined the lower portion of the
with wet. None of the other witnesses
had said anything about that part Of
the body being Wet.
Police Officers Downing and Collins
told of the finding of the legs in a
bundle in the East river at the Brook
iyn navy yard and Downing said ne
brought them to the New York morgue
Isaac Newton. the Tnorgue keeper. tes-
titled to his receiving the different
parts of the body and on cross eXamin-
alton by Mr.. Howe. he said that Dr.
O'Hanton, a deputy coroner. had saw
ed off a part of the bone of one of the
legs. which one he could not remem-
Der. This left a smooth surface as it
was done WITH q fine tooth saw. The
protruding bone of the other leg had
jagged surface. Just what Mr.. Howe
hopsd to get cut CT this admission was
not apparent but the veteran criminal
lawyer seemed very much pleased
when Newton told it.
Frank Gardiner. a bath attendant,
said he had worked alongside of Gull
1enusppe for some time. He had fire.
quently seen him nude and described!
the marks on Gudensuppe's body.
The portions Of the mutilated body h
saw at the mprgue undoubtedly were
parts of thei missing mans body.
Philip Kratz, another bath attendant,
August Peterson. nephew of Gull
densuppe. identified four photographs
If his uncle and described the marks
on the body. He said the portions in
the morgue .wakre~ parts of his -uncle's
body.
After Justice Maddox had cauntioned
the jurors not to talk to anyone or
form an opinion about the case, court
was adjourned until tomorrow morn
ing.
The coroner and his deputy will be
called to the stand tomorrow. and it is
quite probable that Clark, Gotha and
others who say that Thorn made con-
fessiOns to them, may also be ex-
amined. Mrs. Mack may also be called.
But when the district attorney was
asked. this evening. whether there was
any significance in the fact that he had
not spoken of Mrs. Mack as witness
in his opening address and if she would
or would not be a witness during the
second trial. Mr.. Young said: II can
uot answer tuOSe dueSliONS dt tHlS
stage"
The lawyers for the defence, however
are quite positive that the woman will
be 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 anu swear
that it was she who committed the
murder is now beyound all doubt
In addition to Thorn's testimony. it
is said on good authority that the de-
fence will produce witnesses who will
accuse Mrs. Mack of having committed
serious offences. the nature of which
will not be disclosed by Thorn's coun-
sci. until it is made public property in
evidence.
Both sides are satisfied with the jury
and the defence is perfectly well
pleased with the majority of the jurors.
The rulings of Judge Maddox have
been very impartial. 1t is thought that
)y Monday or Tuesday at the furtherst
Ill the evidence will be submitted The
rial will be resumed tomorrow morn
