possible capital sentence by giving suf.
ficient information to the representa-
tives of the people for the conviction OF
tho other.
For hours and 40 minutes Mrs. Mack
remained on the stand, the cynosure of
all eyes, while she told the terrible
story of how she lured Guldensuppe to
his death, and in telling the tale she
knew full we'll that she was bringing
her paramount to the electric chair.
Frequently their eyes met, but the
woman was not equal to that occasion,
an she always had to turn away from
Thorn 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 unspar-
ingly, and made her own up to such
acts of reconciliation that the majority
of those who heard her admission said
that she was the greatest culprit, and
many of those who had previously
evinced a decided antipathy to Thorn
swerved around and pitied him.
Thorns 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,
as we'll as the spectators and reading
public, will be treated to another sensa-
ton.
There is scarcely any doubt as to the
fate which awaits the barber, but as yet
the prosecution has not stated what i'm

the unlookedfor position in which she
has placed herself.
Mrs. Mack said that she left her hus-
band to live with Guldensuppe, who
was known as her husband. Thorn
came there to board. Thorn and Gull
densuppe had fight and Guldensuppe
whipped Thorn. Guldensuppe kicked
Thorn down stairs. Thorn pulled
revolver and fired one shot at Gulden-
suppe, but did not hit him. Thorn
spent some time in the hospital. After
he got out she gave him money at diff
ferent times. He told her that he
loved her. He was determined to kill
Guldensuppe and she tried to dissuade
him. Thorn then rented the house
where the crime was committed.
On the morning of Friday, June %,
the day that the crime was committed,
she said that she and Guldensuppe left
New \ ork between 8 and 10 O'Clock
that morning, and after they had
crossed the ferry they boarded trolley

cottage.

In relating what had been done with
the various parts of Guldensuppe's
corpse, Mrs. Mack said that when she
went back to the cottage at O'Clock

cottage. They went directly to ferry

went 60 the front of the boat and Thorn
stayed on the rear. Soon after the boat
