New YORK, Nov. 11.-Mr. Howe, in
fEhe' course of an interview yesterday,
declared that Mrs. Mack killed and cut
up Guldensuppe.
WAIT" said Mr.. Howe, land will
put Thorn on the witness stand and he
will tell the jury the truth-that il
was Mrs. Mack who killed Guldensupps
and who cut him up in the bath tub"
During recess District Attorney Oh
cOtt, of New York, made the following
statement:
IF it We're not for the legal require
sznents that the confession of an accom-
plice must be corroborated before il
can go to the jury, 1 would advise Mr.
Young to close the case at once, SC
thoroughly am l convinced that the
jury realizes that Mrs. Mack is telling
the truth. The confession is sound
and true in every particular, and am
ply corroborates the evidence which we
already have. All of the witnesses
will be called that we expected to use,
so as to furnish the confederation of
an aecOmplice's testimony, which the
law requires"

Emanuel Friend. counsel for Mrs.

MRS. MACK CONFESSES.
Turns States Evidence Against
Her Accomplish
Ehe Former Mistress OF William GuIdsn-
saPpe Tells How She Lursd Him
ia the Place Where Martin
Thorn Killed Him

New YORK, Nov. 11.-There was an
extraordinary turn of affairs yester-
day in the Thorn murder trial In Long
island City.
Mrs Augusta Mack. who was in
Fdicted together with her erstwhile
.paramour, Martin Thorn. for the MUIR
der of her former lover, William
GuIdensuppe, for whom she deserted
her illegal husband, appeared in the
role of q states witness against Thorn,
to the CONSERVATION of the latter's
lawyers The report was current
Tuesday night that Mrs Mack had de-
cided on this course. and when Eman-
uel Friend, her counsel, arrived in the
court room yesterday morning he con-
firmed it and added that she would be
put on the stand as soon as court
opened.
During all this time Martin Thorn
was below in a cell at the back of the
courthouse without the slightest warn
ing of his impending danger. As soon
as he arrived in the court room he was
Informed by his counsel of the action
that Mrs Mack had taken, and just for
a moment his face flushed, his eye
brows con tracted, his lips compressed
and he showed for the first time since
his arrest that he was in any way per-
turbed- He soon regained his COM
posure and while he leaned forward
aud spoke to his lawyers, Mrs Mack
entered the court room. The woman
passed close to Thorn on her way to
her attorneys table, but while he care
fully kept track of her every movement,
she avoided looking at him.
The jurors at this time did not know
ghO the woman was, and were igno-
rant of the fact that Mrs. Mack had
made a confession and was so close to
them A minute later the court clerk
called her name, saying:
Mrs Augusta Mack, take the stand"
Every man of the IL in the jury box
heard the name called, and each one of
them was startled when he saw the
woman turn away her head from the
prisoner, whose eyes followed her as
she walked around back of the jury
box and took a seat irs the witness
chair. For two hours and forty min
utes she remained there while she told
the terrible story of how she lured
Guldeusuppe to his death, and in tell
ing the tale she knew full well that
she was bringing her paramount to the
electric chair.
Frequently their eyes met but the
woman was not equal to the occasion
and she always had to turn away from
Thorn's steadfast gaze. When she was
asked why she had confessed she re.
piled that she wished to clear her con-
science, and then burst into tears.
But when Lawyer Howe began his
cross-examination he handled her I'M
sparingly, and made her own up tc
such acts of generalization that the ma
jority of those who heard her admis-
sions said that she was the greater
cuIprit, and many of those who had
previously evinced decided antipathy
70 Thorn, swerved around and pitied
him.
Thorn's lawyers have decided to put
him on the stand when the proper time
comes, and they promise that when he
tells all he knows the court and jury

Catarrh to
Consumption

Catarrh invariably leads to consump-
ton. Growing worse and worse each
winter, those who rely upon the usual
treatment of sprays, washes and inha1-
Ing mixtures find that it is impossible
to check the disease with these local
applications which only reach the sur
face. The offensive discharge increases
all the while, and gets deeper until it is
only question of short time when
the lungs are affected.
The Importance of the proper treat
ment can therefore be readily appre-
ciated. But no good whatever can be
expected from local applications, as
such treatment never did cure Catarrh,
and never will. Being blood disease
of the most obstinate nature, Swifts
Specific (S.S.S.) is the only remedy
which can have the slightest effect upon
Catarrh. 1t is the only blood remedy
that goes down to the bottom Of all stub
born diseases which other remedies
cannot reach.
Mrs. Josephine Polhil1, Of Due West,
S. c., writes:
81 had such severe case Of
Catarrh that l lost my hearing in one
ear, and part of the bone III my nose

divided as follows: Medical Students 40.

in the requirements for admission in Latin

These involve different methods of pre-
paratory study rather than an increased
amount of work, and have been recommend

The Christmas number of The Art
Amateur is unrivalled this season, both
for the beauty of its illustrations and the
practicability of its articles. Artists, con
noisseurs, art students and philosophers;
have a rare treat in store for them in this
number, which is truly a work OF art.
From the very attractive cover of holly
and mistletoe we turn to the 'Rem-
brandt supplement, with its fifteen eX-
quiSite illustrations of the works OF the
famous Dutch artist. The color plate,
Little Sweethearts," by Tojetti, is an
ideal picture of five chidren's heads;
charmingly soft in color. In the body of
the magazine Montague Marks contributes
a mastery article on the Rembrandts in
America, while Roger Riordan writes on
Rembrandt as painter, and describes his
methods. Charles A. Vanderhoof has a
very valuable illustrated article on Pen
and Ink Sketching from Nature, and M.
B. Odenheimer one on Figure Painting.
The Mural Decorations and the Lighting
of the new Astoria HOTEL the latter with
seven illustrations by the designer, How
ard E. Watkins, are given due attention.
Articles on China Painting are contribut-
ed by the we'll known decorators, Franz
