Mack not Only Shot Him but Cat Him
mp.
NEW YORK, Nov. 11,-Lawyer Howe

Thorn's story, He will swear on the wilt
ness stand as follows:
Mrs. Mack, who Gays that killed
Guldensuppe. conceived. planned, plotted
and accomplished the murder Of Gulden-
suppe. It was she who suggested the
actual murder who arranged for the hir-
ing OF the house for the meeting OF the
man, for the cutting up and bundling OF
the remains, and eventually for the dis
position of the dlsmembered trunk.
Mrs. Mack. herself shot Guidensuppe
with the revolver shown in court yester-
day. She went Into the house at Wood
side with Guldensuppe and returned and
told me that Guldensuppo was dead
shot in the temple by herself Later in
the day she went back to the Woodslde
cottage, undressed the body, and cut
up into four pieces
"She has reversed the true story, charg-
Ing me with doing just what she did. On
the witness stand will prove the truth.
Her purpose In getting rid Of Gulden-
suppe, she told me at the time, was TO
get him out OF the way because she had
ceased to love him.
81 wish to God now I never had had
anything to do with her. have tried in
every way to shield her. / have been
silent when l might have talked, and
talked when / might have remained
siient-aii to shield and help her and she
has turned on me and tried tn fasten her
own guilt upon me. Her dread OF the
chair at Sing Sing has killed all the love
she once had for me, and she is now try
ing to do away with me. Just as she put
Guldensuppe away, to save herself"

SUED PRINCE OF WALES.

London, Nov. 5.-There was an ex-
traordinary case heard before the lord
mayors court yesterday, when a man
named Kinds sued the Prince OF Wales
to recover 100000. alleged TO have been
wrongfully paid him by the late Under
Sheriff Croll. who was the liQuidator of
the United Kingdom Electric Telegraph
company. The plaintiff declared the
money belonged TO a certain Mr.. Allen,
OF whose estate he was the assignee.
and he further claimed the sum of E150.-
600 from Lord Suffolk, alleging that the
latter had suborned Croll TO commit per-
Jury before Lord Bramwel at the trial
In 1887 in connection with the litigation.
Sir George Lewis. in behalf OF the
Prince OF Wales and the Earl OF Suffolk.
asked that the proceedings be quashed
on the ground of the allegation not being
more than frivolous and vexatious
tissue of nonsense, and he submitted
an affidavit TO that effect.
The plaintiff then addressed the court.
declaring that he had been told that the
Prince OF Wales received the money
referred TO. and he then proceeded to
charge Lord Bramweil with defraudng
Aliens widow out OF Gl50000 i'm order
TO obtain promotion and a peerage.
The plaintiff was here stopped by the
court with the warning TO speak respect
fully of Judges. Finally the court
stopped the case and dismissed the
action. which was described as being
"an abuse of the process Of the court"
