Chicago, Sept. 24.-Judge Showalter,
of the federal district court. yesterday
dissolved the injunction secured by the

THORN FOUND GUILTY.
el,se of the Guldensuppe Murder Case at
New York.

New York, Dec. 2-Martin Thorn, ac-
cused of the murder Of William Gulden-
suppe, the Turkish bath rubber, was
pronounced guilty by the jury at 5:S5
o'clock in the afternoon. Thorn re-
ceived the verdict with laugh, but he
seemed TO have lost his nerve as he
was led back to Jail. The court denied
a motion for a new trial, and set Fri
day as the day for the passing Of the
sentence. When Thorn reached his cell
after the conviction he admitted that
the verdict was just and that he and
not Mrs. Mack killed Guldensuppe. To
Captain Methven, who had him in GUS
tody, when the Jail official searched the
cell, Thorn said:
81 am glad 1t is over and the verdict
given. i am convicted and i am con-
tented. 1t was ] who killed Gulden-
suppe, and 1 believe every word that
Mrs Mack said upon the stand was

Lawyer Howe denied In strong terms
the statement that Thorn after his con-
viction confessed to the killing and dis
memberment of Guldensuppe Mr.. Howe
reiterated his belief that the court of
appeals would reverse the verdict. Po-
lice Captain Methven of Long Island
City said: There are some discrep-

CHARGE AGAINST esTERHAzY.
Acknowledges Authenticity of Letters
Published by Fargo.

Published by Fargo.
Paris, Dec. 2.-Major Count Ferdi-
nand Walsin Esterhazy, the retired
French army officer, who is charged
with having written the letter which
led to the imprisonment on Devils ISL
and Of Alfred Dreyfus, the former cap
tain of French artillery, who was con-
victed by court martial of selling mill
tary secrets to the agents of foreign
power, is said to have acknowledged
the authenticity of the letters recently
published by Figaro. with the exception
of the one in which the count is said to
have expressed the following senti-
ments:
"If tonight ! were told that l should
be killed tomorrow as a captain of
Uhlans while saDering Frenchmen, /
should certainly be perfectly happy. /
would not harm a dog, but l would see
a hundred thousand Frenchmen killed
with pleasure"
1t is understood that the report OF
General Pellieux, who was appointed
by the military governor Of Paris, Gen
eral Saussier to investigate the charges
brought against Count Esterhazy
| states that he is satisfied with the guilt
| of Dreyfus. There is, however, general
| Indignation here at General Pellieux's
| statement that he has not inquired into
| the possibility of Esterhazy having
| written the memorandum upon which
| Dreyfus was convicted, which is one OF
| the charges brought aginst the count
( the general simply remarlSing that he
| considers the court-martial definitely
| settled that point.

NEW GERMAN AMBASSADOR.
what He Has to Say About the Haytian
Controversy.


Washington, Dec. 2.-Dr. Won Hell
leben, the new German ambassador.
was seen at the German embassy, and
for the first time since his arrival con-
sented to speak concerning some OF the
questions of mutual interest between
the United States and Germany. AS to
the Haytian controversy, DR.. Won Hol-
leben. said:
"I have received no official instruc-
tions from my government on the SUBJ
ject, yet speaking unofiicfally the case
has assumed in the press proportions
far greater than il deserves. 1t Is
simply a question of collecting an In
demnity for an offense against Ger
man citizen residing in Hayti. Beyond
this all is conjecture. and there is no
basis OF fact whatsoever, for the re-
ports as to what might ultimately oc-
cur The demand is similar, / am told.
to many the United States has de-
manded indemnity from South Ameri-
can republics. AS this right OF demand
ing and enforcing the payment OF an In
demnity is universally recognized / do
not doubt the case will be settled in
the usual way between the immediate
parties in interest, Germany and Hayti
But in any event, the case is OF too lit
tie importace to attract serious con-
sideration, and IL is needless to con-
lecture on future probabilities or pos
eihilities" !"
