DRAWING IN THE NET. Facts Which Connect Mrs. Nack With GuldenSuppe’s Murder. ON THE VERGE or COLLAPSE The Remarkable Woman at Last Begin- ning to Show Effects of the Terrible Strain Under Which She Has Been For Several Days. New York, ,July 3.——The Evening Journal today prints the following: Mrs. Nack did intend to cast off her lover, Guldensuppe, and take up a. life with Thorn. Thorn told Vogel that Mrs. Nack had no use for Guldensuppe, but was afraid Of him and added that she had promised to set him up in business on Long Is— land and go to housekeeping with him there. This turns out to be true. Real Es- tate Dealer Davidson of Woodhaven re- ceived a visit a day or two before the murder from a. woman he now identifies as Mrs. Nack, who rented a house from him. She also inquired about the busi- ness possibilities of the town" and asked the real estate man to look around and see if he could nob-"find a barber shop that could be Sought at a modbra’fe price. Mr. Davidson agreed to find such a place and succeeded. ' He has been waiting for his client to come and close the deal ever since. This settles beyond a question that Mrs. Nack had determined to get rid of her lover at the bathhouse and take up with the barber. 1». They were afraid of Guldensuppe, and with reason, as he had shown. It was certain that as long as Gulden- suppe lived the pair could never live to— get er. * he inference that he was murdered Q make it possible for Thorn and Mrs. ack to continue their relations is ir- resistible. - . Mrs. Nack Breaking Down. Augusta Nack is breaking down. Un- less all signs that the police are so used to reading fail, she will throw herself on the mercy of the detectives very soon and tell all she knows. The de- tectives believe she will confess within 48 hours. Augusta Nack in 24 hours has chang- ed from a jolly, well fed looking woman to a haggard, hollow eyed, sullen crea- ture. She is nervous, irritable, un- strung. She shows it, and what is worse she knows that she shows it. Today she climbed wearily out of her bed in the matron’s room at police headquarters at 10 o’clock. She said she did not want breakfast, but at the insistance of Matron Travers she con- sented to eat a piece of bread and to drink a glass Of milk.- After leaving the Jefferson Market Police court yesterday afternoon, the woman was taken back to police head- quarters and at once sent up stairs. All evening she sat alone in her room, which is virtually a cell. The door was left open, but just outside sat Detect- ives Dorlan and Tinker. Every move that the woman made was seen, and they waited vainly for a word from her, but she was silent. Matron Travers tried to get her to‘talk. “Leave me be. I will not talk any more,” she said. And after that not another word would she speak. At midnight the woman announced that she was going to bed, and the door to her cell was closed long enough to allow her to undress. Matron Travers was in the room with her all the time. Then, after Mrs. Nack was in bed. the t'wo detectives went away. The woman saw them depart with uncon— cealed pleasure, which changed to pa- tient suffering as she saw Detectives Hughes and Tiernan walk into the room and silently seat themselves by the door sill. As soon as the woman saw the de- tectives she turned her face to the wall and lay still. This lasted for an hour. The men thought that she had fallen asleep, and one of them moved into the room. , “Well, what do you want?” she de- manded at once, turning her face to- . ward the policeman. The officer made no reply, but walked back to his place at the door. The New Developments. These are the new developments in the case of the murdered Turkish bath rubber, William Guldensuppe, and every one of them involves more deeply Mrs. Augusta Nack, who lived with the victim: First—Mrs. Nack had an engage- ment to go to Woodside, N. Y., with Guldensuppe Friday afternoon. Did he ever return? Was he murdered there? . They were going to look at a vacant house, Mrs. Nack explained. Was Gui-r densuppe murdered in this house? No one saw him after Friday morning ex— cept Mrs. Nack. Second—Mrs. Margaret Cunningham, of whom Mrs. Nack pretended to be jealous, adds the weight of her contra- diction to the accusing circumstances. Mrs. Nack declares lhat Mrs. Cunning- ham visitc—d her Thursday, June 6. Then it was she declares, she saw by the aid c‘ iuble mirrors Mrs. Cun- ningha‘! 1.. Guldensuppe a card. Mrs. Cunn'ztgh...zi says it was Wednes- day at 1 o’clock in the afternoon when she called upon Mrs. Nack. Strange coincidences follow this discovery. . For it was Wednesday evening that Mrs. Nack proposed to Guldensuppe to go to look at the house at Woodside. Soon after, according to Mrs. Riger, Mrs. Nack bought the oilcloth. Was Mrs. Nack's jealousy, then, aroused or increased Wednesday, and did she at once decide to carry out the plans she had been maturing to end her difficulties concerning her lover? Third.~——One witness saw Mrs. Nack on Long Island Friday afternoon——-Mrs. Riger. She says that that afternoon Mrs. Nack entered her store to buy the white ticking. Fourth—Coroner Tuthill says posi- tively that the bruises on Mrs. Nack are six or seven days old, which proves an- other falsehood from her. The Forged Telegram. Fifth—Inspector O’Brien proves that the alleged telegram “sent to me (Mrs. Nack) by VJillie” is a forgery, probably sent by the shadowy, now missing Thorn. - Sixth—The pistol which the detectives found in Mrs. Nack’s flat was hidden in her satchel. This satchel accompa- nied her to Long island, another circum- stance in favor of the theory that the -- » - 3n. .. luv—.a—‘u. ._..... :- murdzr was done Iii-:1": These are stains, like blood srains,beh;nd t sham- mer of the pistol, such as the mains the coroner’s men are weed to see or. pistols that have been used to beat men over the head. SeventhF—Thorn had received lessons in surgery. He knew how to cut a body up. ,He had threatened Guldensuppe’s life. They were bitterly jealous of each other, and each boasted that he had the stronger hold on the woman’s affec— tions. Was Thorn really her favorite even before her alleged discovery that Gul- densuppe was untrue to her? Then why did she state to Mr. Millerpthat Thorn had insulted her and that she had called in Guldensuppe, who threw Thorn out of the house. Was Thorn a mere tool, used by this wanton woman to make good her plan of revenge? Mrs. Nack -may have liked Thorn bet— ter and still wanted to kill Guldensuppe because he preferred another woman to her. Thorn met a tall, well dressed woman every Thursday night recently at Sixth avenue and Forty-seventh street. Was this Mrs. Nack? Was the plot that had its outcome in the dis- membered body of Guldensuppe hatch- ed during these meetings? Eighth—At 10 .o’clock last Tuesday morning Thorn sent two boys to Mrs. Nack'sflat to get a valise. The valise weighed over 50 pounds. The boys staggered under the burden.» Did the valise contain Gulfiensuppe’s head? . Thorn’s Disappearance. Ninth—Thorn wgs last seen at 2’: o’clock Tuesday afternoon by Jacob Pflaster, a barber, at 190 Columbus ave- nue. A week ago last Sunday he bor- rowed $1 from Pflaster. Where was all the money he boasted Mrs. Nack sup- plied him? But, somehow, he had ' raised money in the meantime. He paid the $1 and took back the four razors and a pair Of scissors he had left as security. Tenth—Mrs. Nack told Inspector O'Brien that she had not hired a surrey and gone for a drive on Saturday. “But,” says Inspector O’Brien, “when we brought down here the proprietor of the livery stable and the man who har- nessed the horse and delivered the bug- gy to Mrs. Nack, they positively identi- fied the woman. She had an object in denying that she went riding on Satur- day." Geoye Vockroth, the employee of Un- dertaker Struening, knows Mrs. Nack well, and he told all the circumstances of her hiring the surrey Saturday morn- ing. She told him a man would call for it, and at 4 o’clock in the afternoon a man did call and drove away with the surrey and did not return until after 9 O’clock at night, and. he brought back the strong horse fagged and blown and the surrey covered with mud. .More than that, the next day Mrs. Nack called and paid the bill for the surrey and told a story of her adven- tures with the horse. Eleventh—The wounds in Gulden- suppe’s breast were made with the knife found in Mrs. Nack's room or with one exactly the same size. The.thin, smooth cuts that reached the heart were made by a knife 11/4 inches in width. Mrs. Nack’s long butcher knife is just that wide. Twelfth—Thorn, the barber, Gulden— suppe’s successful rival in Mrs. Nack’s affections, was a violent tempered man and had had one fight with Gulden- suppe, when the masseur took away his pistol. but he procured a. dagger. He tried to buy a. stiletto with a poisoned point from Constantine Keehn and told Keehn he and the woman wanted to get the rubber out of the way; Later Thorn showed Keehn a pistol and dagger and told him that he and the woman proposed going to Wood- side, where she would buy him a shop. Decoyed to His Death? Thirteenth—Guldensuppe told Gart— ner, one of the rubbers at the bathsp that he was going to Woodside Friday‘ and was present when Guldensuppe received a telephone message from. “Gussie” (Augusta Nack), after which Guldeisuppe told him that the appoint- ment to go was made. Mrs. Nack had described a house ‘at Woodside which she pretended she was going to sell for a client, and Gulden- suppe was to get several hundred dol- lars if she made the trade. Was this a bait? Guldensuppe was a money pig and would go anywhere if he thought he could get a good sum out of the woman. There is,n.o house at Wood- side like that described by Mrs. Nack when she was tempting the lover who was to be murdered. Fourteenth—Another false statement by Mrs. Nack: She says she drew $50 from the Franklin Savings bank at Eighth avenue and Forty-second street Saturday morning. She had had an ac- count there, but it was closed, and the bank officials say she drew no money from the bank on Saturday, and her‘ account shows this. NO live bank ac- count can be found for-her, and it is extremely unlikely that she would have drawn money from the bank when she had over $300 in the bosom of her dress, as the search by the matron disclosed. A Banker Disappears. New York, July 3.—-Edgar D. Thorn- burgh Of 100 Broadway is said to have disappeared, leaving behind him debts amounting to $100,000. Thornburgh was a banker and broker. His offices were fitted up in princely style and he lived in luxurious apartments in the Navarro flats, at 175 West Fifty-eighth street. Suicide and Attempted Murder. New York, July 3.——Ferdinand Herve, 59, today shot Rose Dreley, 36, of 271 West One Hundred and Fourteenth street in the back and in the,head and then shot himself in the left breast, kill- ing himself instantly. The shooting was in the hallway of the woman’s house. Her death is expected. A Customs Inspector Killed. San Francisco, July 3.——The steamer Resolute today ran into a scow schoon- er which was at anchor. A custom house inspector on duty on the steamer Was killed and anotherman was badly in- jured. The steamer struck the schoon- er's bow, and the bowsprit drove through the pilot house. Arbnckles Make 8 Cut on Coil'ee.

This is the price at which the trust Lion brand was put yester- day. Shipment of Havana Leaf Tobacco. Havana, July 3.—The steamer Aransas hassailed from here with 1,200 bales of _ leaf tobacco. THEEVEI‘VING! GAZETTE. .HOW FURS ARE WORN IN RUSSIA. Skins That are Classed as ’“ColdFurs” in . That Country. V. It seems a contradiction to speak of a “cold fur,” but that is what the Bus- Sians style some of the wraps that we in America ignorantly .consider warm enough for the coldest climate. A writer in Lippincott’s says that the first thing an American woman has to do when she reaches Russia is to re- construct her ideas on the subject of furs. Her beloved sealskin goes far down on the list. It is oneof the “cold furs” that no Russian lady would care to wear as a lining—and it is as lin- Ings that all furs are worn-because it is too tender. The only thing it is good for is a short jacket to be worn between seasons, and then'it must be uSed entirely for walking. Clothed in these furs, the Russian seldom takes cold. Few Russians wear flannels. The houses are kept de- lightfully warm, and at places of- en- tertainment no extra clothing could be borne. No Russian enters a room, theater or public hall at any season of the year without removing his cloak and overshoes, and no Well trained servant would allow an ignorant for— eigner to trifle with his health by so doing. The proper“ furs for the climate are the “downy” furs that, beginning at the brown goat, go all the way up to that climax of beauty and luxur ', the black fox or the silver fox, soft and delicate as feathers, and warm as a July day.
