Sometimes in the winter season So

a singular and somew hat anstere event,
and one which it would be difficult to

of the coming ball spread after the
mysterious fashion of the plains, 50

was in Pittsburg. The detectives were
then sent to arrest him. The capture

rented the Woodside house for hersei1
and Thorn, and these two positively
identified the prisoners. People In the
neighborhood of the cottage were
found who had seen what they con-
sidered to be bloody water flow
ing from the drain-pipe of the cottage
on that Friday evening. The drain
pipe in question is the only outlet FROM
the bath-tub in which Thorn is SAID
to have
CUT. THE MURDERED MANS
THROAT.
In the house itself blood stains were
detected and bullets were found in the
surface and embedded in the walls.
Since his arrest Thorn, it is alleged,
has made a confession, and the author
tiles in Long Island City discovered
the compromising letter which he
tried to swallow. The letter showed
an intention on the part CT both the
man and the woman 20 cheat the law
by committing suicide. While they
were confined in the Tombs Prison 1t
was impossible for them to commune
cate with each other, but since they
were transferred to the Queens county
Jail they seemed to have been able 10
exchange correspondence. District At
torney Olcott, of this county, and
District Attorney Youngs, of Queens
county, after Cue deliberation, decided
that it was better to try the case in
Queens county, as :. the murder is al
legged to have been committed there,
although the plot was cOncocted in
New York.
Thorn it is said, told a fellow pris-
oner that he would have completed
the job as he termed it, beyond the
possibility of detection if Mrs. Mack
had not been too hurried about the
disposition of the various portions OF
the body. On the other hand, it is said
that Mrs. Mack, in a letter to her par
amour, had told him that he talked
too much. An instance Of his talking
capacity is given in a statement made
by Frank E. Clarke who was Thorn's
cell mate in the TOmbs. According to
Clarke, the alleged murderer, having
drank some whisky supplied to Clarke
incidentally, became so communica-
tive as to tell him that he had
THROWN GOLDENSUPPE'S HEAD,
which has not yet been recovered, into
a clump Of bushes near the Woodside
cottage and that from there it was re-
moved by friend OF Thorn's who, af-
forwards, dropped it overheard near
the fishing banks off Long Branch,
from the fishing boat ]. B. Schuyler,
which, by the way, was burned to ne
waters edge a few weeks ago.
Clarke's story is considered reliable,
and it is said that the friend who dis
posed of the head is Thorn's brother
in-law and will be produced at he
trial as a witness for the prosecution.
