: ....-.J.~w—,~., MYSTERY IS CLEARING. Latest Developments In the Hunt For Guldensuppe’s Slayer. MRS. NACK IS STILL HELD. Last Saturday Night She Got a Neigh- bor’s Little Girl to Sleep With Her. The Child’s Story— The Suspect- ed W’oman’s Long Drive. New York, July 2.——The Evening Jour- nal today prints the following: An Evening Journal reporter today dis- covered a little girl who slept with Mrs. Nack Saturday night. Mrs. Nack was nervous. The little girl was Amy Miller, 10 years of age. Amy has blond hair and blue'eyes. There is no more innocent looking child anywhere. She is the daughter of Mrs. Sophie Miller, the housekeeper at Buck’s restaurant, where Mrs. Nack often ate. She lives next door to the restaurant at 744 Sixth avenue. But why did Mrs. Nack want the lit- tle girl to stop with her if she expected Guldensuppe back? Did she expect Guldensuppe back? Perhaps she really did. Perhaps that is what made her nervous. Berhaps that is What made her turn with a but half hidden shudder when a sharp sound was made behind her. In View Of the web of circumstances that surrounds Mrs. Nack, it may be that she expected Guldensuppe back, the sight of whom would make the very MRS. AUGUSTA NACK. blood in her veins turn into ice—a Guldensuppe streaming with blood, an awful phantom. the imagining of a guilty mind. She wanted a child—an innocent child—that might keep Guldensuppe from coming back. Hence she begged Amy’s mother to spare, the child for one night. The Child’s Story. This is Amy’s story, told wonderingly to a reporter today: "I went with mamma Saturday night shopping on Ninth avenue. Mamma stopped in to see Mrs. Nack about 8 or 9 p. m. Mamma did not wait very long at Mrs. Nack‘s because she was tired. "Just before we started to leave, Mrs. Nack said to mamma, ‘Let Amy stay all night with me.’ “I wanted to as tomorrow was Sun- day. “My mamma said, ‘All right, you can stay, but I must go home at once.’ "I’Vhen mamma left, Mrs. Nack said: ‘Amy, let‘s get to bed. I’m tired too.’ ” Mrs. Nack was tired. No wonder! She had had a busy day of it, a long, unex— plained ride. in a surrey, and something. also unexplained, had happened that made her nervous. nervous, nervous! “Then,” continued the innocent little girl, “we went to bed right away, to- gether. I fell asleep with Mrs. Nack lying beside me.” But Amy couldn’t say whether Mrs. Nack fell asleep. Mrs. Nack may have lain awake for hours, hearkening to ev- ery sound. fearing, as she drew the in— nocent, sleeping girl closer to her, the arrival of a grisly visitor, all hideous with blood and great wounds and ac- cusing eyes. ' “I awoke between 8 and 9 o’clock next morning,” concluded Amy. ”Mrs. Nack was still asleep.” Perhaps Mrs. Nack had just gone to sleep with the coming of the day. Per- “ haps she heard the clock strike every solemn hour and trembled and hugged closer to the little innocent girl. Mrs. Miller, the girl’s mother, ad- mitted with reluctance that Mrs. Nack had never asked Amy to stay with her all night, though they had long been friends. ' When asked why Mrs. Nack should have made the request Saturday night, she said: “How can I know? That is nothing. She said she was very tired.” All the way through Mrs. Miller seem- ed to be trying to shield Mrs. Nack, and frequently interrupted her daugh- ter. . The Legs Identified. Dr. Cosby. with Alfred Sinker, Max Skelly, Jai‘ics Hand and Adolph Zorn, four of tit: attendants at the Murray Hill ltihs r :Iied at the morgue today to identify .21: iegs found in a package in the navy yard yesterday. The limbs were placed in full View, and the men looked over them for m’arks that they knew were on Gulden- suppe’s legs. “There’s no doubt about it,” said Dr. Cosby. “They are Guldensuppe’s legs.” One by one the men affirmed the identification, all saying, “There is no doubt." The developments in the great mur- der mystery continue to weave a web of strong circumstance around Mrs. Augusta Nack,’ the woman who lived with William Guldensuppe, the bath “rubber," whose identity with the chop- ped up remains found in the East river and in the woods on Undercliff avenue have been proved through the efforts of The Journal. Mrs. Nack is still a prisoner in charge of the police. She will remain in their charge until the mystery has been in some way worked out to a solution. The contradictory statements of the “woman in the case" have told heavily against her, and the finding of a saw and large, sharp knife in her apart— ments has given new force to the chain of circumstances. The Journal’s work for the last 24 hours has shown that Mrs. Nack was. absent from her home on Saturday; that she went driving in a surrey at 10 WEE o’clock in the morning with a man who answers the description given of Mar- tin Thorn, the man whom W'illiam Gul- densuppe fought on account of Thor-n’s attentions to Mrs. Nack. The surrey was taken from August Streuning, wh'ose place of business is at 465 Ninth avenue. The arrangements for securing the use of the horse and vehicle were made by George Vock- roth, Streuning’s cousin, who assists him in the undertaking business. Vockroth says that Mrs. Nack ,came to the place about 10 o’clock Saturday morning. She ordered a double seated vehicle, stating that she wanted to take a little girl for a ride on her tenth birthday. She stated that a man would call for the surrey at 3:30 or 4 o’clock in the afternoon. The Man Appears. At 3:30 a short, thickset man about 5 feet 6 inches high and wearing a dark suit and derby hat called for the ve- hicle. In driving away he did not go toward Mrs. Nack’s house, but toward Eighth avenue, through Thirty-sixth street. He returned at 9:30 at night with the horse and surrey. The animal was tired and bore evidence of having been driven very fast for a long dis- tance. The man declared that the horse had been a poor animal and had balked. Mrs. Nack called at Streuning's es- tablishment on Sunday and said she wanted to pay her bill. Streuning Was not there, and Vockroth declined to re- ‘ ceive the money in his absence. She also declared that the horse was baiky, but the undertaker’s experience with the animal proved that it was other- wise. \Vhere did the surrey go? Mrs. Nack declared that she and her companion drove to One Hundred and Tenth street and around Central park and that she and the man stopped and drank at a roadhouse at One Hundred and Tenth street. The proprietors of the road- houses in the vicinity declare that no such couple stopped at their places. The first bundle of Guldensuppe’s re- mains was found by boys at East Elev- enth street before the surrey left the undertaker’s place, but there is a car running through Thirty-fourth street and across town to the East river. Could not this have been used to trans- port a bundle, carefully wrapped, to the point where it was thrown into the river? , Then the man who drove the surrey did not go toward Mrs. Nack’s house. Could the driver of the surrey have re- ceived the bundle of remains found at High bridge and carried it there, being met along the route by Mrs. Nack her- self? As to Mrs. Nack’s movements on Fri~ day? She declares that she saw VVil- liam Guldensuppe that day and that she gave him 850 and parted company with the man. She says that they had quarreled, and he had determined to leave her. Is it not strange that the woman should have given $50 to the man from : whom she intended to separate for all time? She says she went out and drew the I” Franklin Savings street and money from the bank, at Forty—second Eighth avenue. The officials of the bank declare that the woman had no account with the institution later than Dec. 27, 1895, when she withdrew $205. Companions of Guldensuppe at the Murray Hill baths declare that when he left the place on Friday morning he. said he was going that day to Long Is- land with Mrs. Nack to buy property. Mrs. Nack, he said, Wanted to estab- lish a nursery there. A California Elopement. Los Angeles, July 2.——Mrs. John Brad- bury, wife of a millionaire, and H.
