me, he said I've shot him he

self confessed murderess, breath
lessly.
"What did you do then asked
Judge Weller.
"He asked me to go home and
come back at 5 o'clock. When
came back that evening Thorn
had everything packed III bum

which he said contained Gulden
suppe's clothes, and he took am
other bundle, which was wrap
ped up in gray colored paper.

suppe's head and that it was
done up i'll plaster of paris. We
took the trolly car and went

In relating what had been
done with the various parts of
the corpse, Mrs. Mack said that
when she went back to The cot
tage at 5 o'clock Thorn had ev~
e1ything tied up in parcels, some
of them in the oilcloth she had
purchased in Long Island City.
When they were ready to leave
the cottage she took one parcel

The woman spoke fairly in,
tellig1ble English with a very
strong German accent. Thorn
listened to every word with his
lips closely compressed, his hands
clasped and resting on his knees
Frequently his lips became dry
and parched and occasionally he
would moisten them with his
tongue. His face bore the-.same
stOlld look of Indifference which
it has worn all through, but his
eyes were restless. When he
was not gazing at his accuser, he
was casting furtive glances a.
round the court room and ur
into the galleries, which were
crowded with men and women.

The Eckhardt Case.

Inc fLck naflt vase.
The Baltimore Meas of last Monday
said
The Eek hardt case will be laid before the
racing board by chairman Gideon during the
meeting of the National Assembly mt Albany
this week. What the outcome will be cannot
now be predicted, as the case has been allow
ed to drag until everybody is tired of it.
What should be done would not be at all
difficult to determine by lover of clean and
honest sport. If the facts are as related by
the persons of all others who should have
made the case appear well for the accused, it
Is not easy to see how lesser punishment
than life suspension can be meted out.
Within the last week several riders have been
suspended for Is months for merely riding in
unsanCtioned races.
The JOURNAL is among those who
would like to know that the matter is
closed, especially the outcome. For
this there is strong local reason.
Later-The Neus of Yesterday after
noon printed an Albany On. W dis
patch stating that the racing board
had suspended Eokhardt for two years
quite a long time to keep man
from changing his name when he
wants to.

Speaking of some conditions in
Hagerstown judge Stake said in his
charge to the grand jury of Washing
ton county the other day:
The bad condition of the alleys of the town
was also alluded to. The judge said the
alleys were filthy and dangerous and bred
typhoid baccjW in countless millions. The
jury was ordered to inspect the alleys and re-
port the result to the court, who stated that
the town officials could be held responsible
for the filthy condition of the streets &C.,
and as such were indictabe should it be
proven that the alleys were carelessly or will
fully neglected.
The people are slowly awakening to
the fact that law can take hold of IN
sanitary conditions and compel those
responsible for them to take care of
their own health.
Charge upon charge to grand juries,
like cline upon line" etc, will have
sure effect, especially if an Indictment
and conviction should ever follow.
The Judge is making himself great
in the estimation of reformers who
have a tangible object in view.
