THORN'S EVIDENCE DELAYED
SICK JUROR POSTPONES TIE
MURDER TRIAL.
Thorn Will Testify That the Homi-
eide Was Conceived and Executed
by the Midwife, Nrs. Mack.

New York. Nov. 1.-THE trial Of
Martin Thorn for the murder CT Will
liam Guldensuppe, which was begun
last Monday at Long Island City, was
suspended today, owing to the danger
Gus illness of Juror M2gEUs Larsen.
The jury Will be discharged tomorrow
and new trial ordered.
Juror Larsen was taken i'll yester-
day and court adjOurned on that ac-
count. Physicians called to attend him
found that he was suffering from ap-
penGicitis.
AT the Opening Of court this morning
il was announced that Larsen was un-
able to attend and an adjournment
was taken until tomorrow morning.
Late this afternoon an operation was
successfully performed en- the sick
juror and it is expected that he will
be able to leave his bed in two weeks.
District Attorney Youngs this even
ing notified the other II jurors to be
present in the court tomorrow and re-
ceiYe their discharge. He will then
ask the court TO call a new jury. All
evidence for the prosecution, whose
case was nearly completed, will have
to be introduced again and Mrs. Mack
Will be required to go on the stand
and tell her horrible story anew.
Several hundred men and women
who had assembled in the court room
today, expecting to hear Martin Thorn
refute the testimony which Mrs. Mack
gave SO dramatically yesterday, We're,
therefore, doomed TO disappointment.
Captain Methven brought Thorn into
the court room, the prisoner looking
none the worse for his ordeal of yester-
day. Judge Smith entered a few min
utes later and District Attorney
Youngs Informed him of the serious
condition of Juror Larsen, and, with
the consent of the lawyers on both
sides, Judge Smith adjourned court
until $50 tomorrow. After court adj
journed Mr.. Howe and Mr.. Moss had
brief talk with their client, Thorn,
before he was taken back 10 his cell.
Later Mr.. Howe outlined his proposed
plan of defense. which he has been
compelled to adopt owing to the con-
fession of Mrs. Mack.
Thorn will take the stand he
said. He viii testify that the murder
was conceived and plotted and planned
by Mrs. Mack. We shall prove that
she wanted to set rid of Guldensuppe
in order that Thorn might take his
place. Thorn will state that When he
got into the cottage at Woodside on
June 20 he found that Mrs. Mack had
shot Guldensuppe and that it was she
who said l have killed him. In other
words, Thorn is going to tell the whole
truth about absolutely the whole
truth, said Mr.. Howe with dramatic
gesture.
VIII Thorn testify that Mrs. Mack
took away the head or will he state
that it was he himself who threw it
into the river?" Mr.. Howe was asked
The big lawyer hesitated for a mo-
ment and then replied: Wait till we
put Thorn on the stand; ne will tell
about it,

cinct at a time, and the entire canvass
was completed by 4 o'clock. The re-
suits We're mainly as first published in
The Herald except that in the Fourth
ward Woolley's majority was increased
to 25 In some way all the newspapers
and both city committees got astray
on this matter. The members of both
committees went home the morning
after election, thinking Woolley had
been defeated by Becker.
The belated returns from the Nine
teeath Drcinct. received about
o'clock, gave Woolley a majority of II

lected by The Herald. The returns col
lected by others for the most part put
Woouey's majority at four.

OGDEN BEET SUGAR FACTORY
STATUS OF MATTERS RELATIVE
TO THE BUSINESS.
If ogdenites Raise $4,000 More All
Is Well-S145,4 400 Already Raised
List Of Subscribers.

If the sugar factory project for Weber
county is to be made a success, the
people of Ogden must subscribe for
stock in the proposed sugar factory for
Ogden H. the sum of $4,000. il. addf-
ton TO the amounts already subscribed.
The sum OF S145 400 has already been
subscribed, and if the people in the city
subscribe 100000 the Weber club Will
then undertake to raise another 500, GOO
from dwellers in the county outside the
city. Unless that amount is raised in
the city, the Weber club Will spend no
money soliciting in the outside towns.
If the citizens of Ogden raise 100000,
there should be little trouble in raising
the other $4,000 from the county, and
If the $250,000 is raised, the rest has al
ready been assured by Mr.. Eccles Of
course, if Mr.. Eccles and his associates
determine that the factory is to be
built it will be built, and could be built
by them alone, yet it is but natural
that they should desire the association
OF others with them in the project
which will enhance the value of every
foot of land in this section.
But, at any rate, the matter stands
thus: If the citizens OF Weber county,
between now and Dec. l, subscribe for
sugar factory stock in the amount of
$104 500, then Weber county will get a
$780, goo sugar factory.

The above extract from an editorial
in the Standard of yesterday The Her
aid can most heartily endorse 1t de-
sires to see the very best men avail
able because of their business ability
selected for positions on the school
board, but it cannot approve of the
plan suggested by the Standard for
accomplishing that result. The edi-
torial further down states:
Mon artisanship does not necessar-
lily mean that there shall be only one
ticket in the field. Let there be at
least two tickets in the field. One may
be called The Citizens ticket and
the OlEler Inc HeOpleS ucKel. Inen
let the voter take his choice. But do
not arouse party prejudice in the school
election. Probably as good way as
any would be for the cllairmen of the
Democratic and Republican central
committees to call a mass meeting of
the people and have the people decide
at that meeting on either bipartisan
or partisan plan of action"
The Herald does not see how this
plan would be an Improvement on the
present plan CT having each party,
through it's regular organization, nom
mate tickets in the regular way. Then
let the voters do the rest. Do not
arouse party prejudice, but ouse party
pride. Let each party feel that the
voters expect nominations of the best
men, and the parties are apt to put
them up. Why are mot the name Demo-
crat and Republican as good as Peo-
pies and Citizens?

RESULT OF PRAYER.
Presbyterian Pastor Tells What In
duced the Midwife to Confess.

New York, Nov. 11-Rev r. H. P.
Miles, pastor OF the First Presbyterian
church Of Ravenswood, L. L, to whom,
it is alleged, Mrs. Mack made her con-
fessiou, said that he had not attempted
to work on the Woman's feelings as has
bsen alleged. Mr.. Miles said that he
began to visit the jail at the request
of the Jail physician, who thought that
he could do Mrs. Mack good. Mr..
Miles said that during his first visits
to the Jail Mrs Mack ridiculed his
religion, but that he kept on preaching
in the Jail corridor. On Sunday last
he took as his text Those who Dis
claim Him Yet I Will Trust
During the sermon Mr. Miles said
that he noticed that Mrs. Mack was
greatly agitated and was CRYING, and
when she had finished, he says. Mrs.
Mack came to him and told him that
she wanted to confess the murder. Mr..
Miles says he told her that he did not
care to hear the confession but told
her to pray to the Lord. She got down
on her knees and prayed and later she
told him that the prayer had greatly
relieved her and that great load had
been lifted from her mind He then
left her without hearing the confession.
He says that on Tuesday Mrs. Mack
sent for him and that when he arrived
at the Jail she confessed the crime TO
him in all its details.
