GULDENsUPPE IDENTIFIED.
Mrs. NacI<'s Alleged AccOmpIice Pro-
badly on the Ocean.

New York, July 3.-August Peterson. q
nephew of William Guldensuppe. who
came from Philadelphia, positively identi.
of his uncle.
1t is learned that Thorn, Mrs. Mack
alleged accomplice was in an East Side
saloon last Thursday night, and said that
he would be on the ocean the next day.
Several detectives were sent over to
Woodside to-day to investigate a rumor
that a man and woman answering the
description of Mrs. Mack and Thorn had
been there on several occasions. and that
last Saturday, the day of the finding o1
the first section of the body buggy wlIh
a man and woman in it, and containing a
bundle was seen to leave there.
Mrs. Nack's story about sending the va
lise to Thorn was confirmed by the state
ment of John Hunche and Joseph Reilly,
who carried the valise to Thorn. When the
detectives returned from Woodside to-
night they brought back with them in
formation of a most startling character,
which leads to the almost positive assur-
ance that the murder was committed in
Woodside or near it at Newtown, and that
Thorn is still hiding In this city.
1t was learned this morning that prior
to the murder of Guldensuppe, Mrs. Mack
and Thorn were negotiating with a real
estate dealer named Bualo, for the renting
of house just at the other side of Wood
side, l.. l.. in Newtown. Several visits
were paid to this house by the pair, and IL
is now believed that Thorn was secreted
in the place, awaiting the arrival of Mrs.
Mack and Guldensuppe. This was after
the time the woman had made an appoint
ment over the telephone for a trip to
Woodside. After Guldensuppe reached
the house he was murdered and his body
was cut up and distributed about the va
rious places where they were found.
The buggy with the man, the woman and
the bundles, was seen leaving Newtown
on Saturday, June 26, the day the first por-
tion of the body was found floating in
the East river.
This piece Of the body is supposed to
have been thrown from the ferry boat
into the water. Moreover, the detectives
brought back with them a letter of the
| greatest Importance 1t was addressed ia
Mr.. Bualo and mailed on July g. 1t reads
| as follows:
New York, July 2, 1897. To Mr.. Bualo
On account of sickness in my family, ]
will not move into the house before an
other week or ten days. Respectfully, F.
Braun"
The handwriting in this letter is the
| same as that on the telegram which Mrs
8ck claims she received from Guden-
! suppe, telling her to go to the baths and
| see the superintendent. o. Brien believes
| that they were both written by Thorn. II
| also settles the fact that Thorn has not
| yet left the city. and detectives are hunt.
ing tonight In all directions in the effort
| to capture Thorn.
There was another theory advanced
| however. which would bear out the wo.
| mans story that Guldensuppe is still
alive. 1t is morally certain that the per.
son who sent the telegram and the per.
/ son who wrote the letter to Bualo are one
| and the same, and il 1t was not Thorn
| then il must have been Guldensuppe him
self, who is hiding for purposes best
| known to himself.
Montreal Quebec, July 3.--The Allen line
people have announced that a man resem
! bling Thorn, the alleged murderer of Will
lam Guldensuppe in New York, bought a
| ticket for a second-class passage on the
steamer State of California, which left
| last night.
