New York, Nov. 9.-The Herald to-
morrow will say:
Emanuel Friend, counsel for Mrs.
Mack, was at the Harlem opera house
last night. 1t was noticed when he
came into the lobby he appeared ner-
vous and excited. His extreme nervous
ness caused some comment, and he re-
marked casually that he had just come
from a long interview with his client,
Mrs. Mack. He sat half the play
through, and on coming out said: MRS.
Mack has confessed. That is all / can
say. She has confessed, and will go on
the stand tomorrow against Thorn. L
cannot talk about the matter any
further. l have made a solemn promise
of secrecy There is no use of trying
to see me later-there is no use trying
to see any one else; even DR.. Howe does
not know. The few others who do
know are pledged to secrecy, as L am.
l shall go home, disconnect my tele-
phone and refuse to see any one or an
swer any questions Mrs: Mack has
made a full confession-that is all 1
can say"
THE CONFESSION.
The Herald will further say:
Mrs. Augusta Mack has made full
tered no word that would incriminate
herself She had withstood the efforts
made by the police to extort from her
an admission that she had killed Will
liam Guldensuppe or that she had
planned his death and lured him to
Woodside, where Martin Thorn actual
ly did the shooting. The woman had
been subjected to the thirty third de-
gree by the police, and to every known
Oft "a "a
fronted by the horrid masses of flesh.
She had been coaxed, Wheedled and
threatened. The promise of life had
been held out to her as a reward for
a few words that would surely result in
Thorn's execution. She had remained
during her imprisonment at police
headquarters. At all hours of the day
and night she had been besieged, but
she had kept her own counsel. Now she
has confessed; by what direct influence
is not known.
The story that Mrs. Mack has told
and that she will be called upon to
repeat to the jury is full of dramatic
interest. She has described at great
length her life with Guldensuppe in the
little fiat on Ninth avenue near Thirty
fourth street. She quarreled with him
frequently after Thorn appeared upon
the scene.
THE DEED ACCOMPLISHED.
GuldensupDe was violent and to rid
themselves Of him she and Thorn de-
termined to kill him. She induced him
to go to Woodside to inspect a cot
tage which she had hired, as she told
him, to conduct her business as a mid
wife. She sent him upstairs alone,
and when she heard shots she knew
that Thorn had carried out his prom
Use.
The greatest difficulty was to obliter-
ate the traces of the murder. The only
plan that appeared safe and sure was
to cut the remains into fragments,
small enough to be carried away with
out suspicion. When the packages had
been prepared, Mrs. Mack and Thorn
hired surrey in this city, and drove
to Woodside. They threw some of their
bundles into the East river but were
then frightened by the approach of
deck hands on the ferry boat and
drove on until they found an unfre-
quented spot to leave what remained.
The discovery of the body was fol-
lowed within a few days by her arrest.
MRS. MACK INTERVIEWED.
Regarding the alleged confession OF
Mrs Mack, the Herald will print the
following interview:
District Attorney Rosalsky said:
II left Mr.. Youngs only ten minutes
