STATUS OF NICK CASE.
intimation That the Accused Woman
May Shortly Confess.

 

 

PALED AT HUSBAND‘S strum

Awful Accusatipn That She Burned Ba-
bias In a Stove—Lawyer Friend As?
sorts That His Client Is Innocent
and‘ Will Be Acquitted.

New York, Sept. 4.——Mrs. Nack turned
male when .she heard that her husband
had made a confession to the district
attorney and told of the unspeakable
"crimes of his wife, acting in her ca-
:pacity as an unregistered midwife.

“He lies! He lies! ‘He may say What
Bhespleases, but it is no matter. He is
of no account anyhow. He lies!” she
cried. '

A bold~ enough denial and a direct
enough denial had it not been accom-

'3)anied by the blanched cheeks and
frightened eyes.

Those who saw Mrs. Nack’s face when
:she heard of/what her husband had
:said agree that the woman showed un-
mistakable signs-of guilty fear.

It was enough to make any woman,
no matter how hardened in atrocious
crime, horribly afraid.

{Accused of the butchery of Gulden-
suppe and with the constant fear of the
consequences of that murder before her
eyes, she was in no mental condition to
receive the crushing blow of her hus-
band's confession to her other murders
-—.the murders of babies.

Horrifying Possibilities.

If she is guilty of the slaughter of
~€ihose little children and of crematlng
ithem in her kitchen range, as Nack
Isays, she may be guilty of many other
«crimes of which even he has no
Tknowledge.

'Her guilty conscience can have no
rest, and she is in constant fear that
me new damaging evidence of her
wickedness may be brought to light.

lIn this mental condition it can be lit-
‘tle cause for wonder that the woman is
apparently on the verge of breaking
down and making a. full confession in
The hope of saving her miserable life.

The disclosures of the husband will
{have a great effect upon the jury when
:Mrs. Nash is tried for the murder of
Guldensuppe. .. . .

Evidence twiill be given to show that
she was avmurderess by profession be-
ifore thelbutChery iof Guldensuppe.

JI‘VYV-Iill be shown how, for pay, she
took human life almost daily.

It will be shown how she burned her
little innocent victims one after an-
other in her kitchen range—the same
range on which she cooked her meals

.and broiled her beefsteaks.

Nothing quite so horrible as that has
"ever been in the annals of crime in this
city or country.

Hearing all this, how can the jury
‘g'ive Mrs. black the benefit Of the “rea-
sonable doubt" in the Guldensuppe
trial? .

HOW can any man on that jury look
with anything but unspeakable horror

umonthe woman on trial before him?
$3,, . ‘ 3mm: figgk Be Indicted?

'Will 'Nac‘k, who, by his confession,
was an accessory to his wife's many
crimes, be indicted? He has acknowl-
edged that he knew what she was do-
sing for a long time, and yet kept it se-
cret and let the woman continue her
practices

"The law makes him as guilty as she,
”but in the administration of justice it
ids often necessary to grant immunity
to an accomplice so that the principal
offender may be punished.

Itiimay therefore be that Nack will
.he allowed to go free, provided he ap—
rpears {in court and testifies fully and
S'unrerserve'dly against his wife.

The ‘records in the department of
ihealizb are being carefully searched,
“and detectives are hard at work on the
new developments, and it is very likely
that the authorities will have much
new evidence against the woman very
shortly.

"i; is burning of newborn babies is’
‘not an original idea with Mrs. Nack.
tOther criminal midwives have done the
”some thing in this city, but they have
used their furnaces instead of their
cooking stoves.

’Suc’h women have been convicted at
"times, but usually for “manslaughter."
Probable Date of the Trial.
.La'wyer‘Will‘iam F. Howe announced
t‘tbday that he 'had been notified that
witnesses in the Guldensuppe murder
case will be taken before the Queens
county grand jury in Queens county
next Wednesday for the purpose of
securing indictments in that county
against Mrs. Nack and Martin Thorn,
and that in the event of the finding of
.the Indicgmegts the trial would be set
”for Ct. 15. If Mrs. Nack does not see
fit to plead guilty to murder in the sec-
ond degree, as it has been suggested,
dhe district attorney said today that he
fired no doubt of the ability of the pros-
:ecut‘iorn to convict her of murder in the
first-"degree. It is, however, admitted
“that‘the evidence against her is not
rnearly as [strong as it is against Thorn.
ifor ~in‘her case the testimony of Barber
Gotha of the alleged confession of
Morn cannot be used, as it is not pre-
‘mded that Mrs. Nack was present
'when it was made, and it is a principle
of law that a prisoner cannot be bound
my any such statement not made in his

for her presence. ~

Mrs. Nack’s lawyer, Emanuel Friend,
idenie'd today any intention on his part
{of allowing his client to plead in the
manner suggested. He declared that
.‘fhis client was innocent and that he
‘would secure her acquittal if the case
«ever came to a trial.

“That statement made by her hus-
."band,” he said, “is all bosh. There is
absolutely nothing in it. Not a word of
{it could be used at the trial. It is not
Elegal evidence, and I- cannot understand
iwhy it was that the district attorney
aconsidered it of sufficient importance to

snake it public.”

THEY. WILL BOLT. ‘

The Pasplelol the IIorviaIks are
Vilally Interested ‘9 ,

 

One Case, and There are
bthers.

 

There is a large body of bolters in
the N orwalks and vicinity.

The movements has been gaining
force for some time and has become so
powerful thatthose interested arse anx-
ious to declare themselves. They are
bolting ancient and useless methods of
eating catarrh and hay fever, ard
they have come over in full force for
California Catarrh Cure because they
have tried it and know its worth. Here
are the words from a N orwalk man
who has tried many medicines and
treatments before he got what he
wanted California Catarrh Owe the
greatest and only known cure for ca-
tarrfi. ‘ ,

Mr. Alfred Platt, 9 Maple street,Nor-
walk, says: '“ I have been a great suffer-
er from catarrh for over thirty years,
having contracted the disease during
the war. My whole head seemed full of
scabs, and the discharge from the nose
and into the throat wassomethin g awful.
My head ached almost continually, and
I never got a good night’s sleep. I pro-
cured a bottle of California Catam-h
Cure at Plaisted’s drug store, South
N orwalk. It has given me more relief
than I have had for years; my head is
very much improved and I can now
sleep all night. It is certainly a great
releiver. and I am glad to recommend
it. Nothing among all the things I tried
before helped me one quarter as much
111 months, as C. C. C. has in a few
weeks. ” . '

You don’t have to wait to find 0'. -. if
it will help you for it relieves at once.
To avoid Hay Fever in its season, use
C. C. C. tis a sure reliever of this
and all mucous diseases. Use it to
break up your colds, and to prevent
colds “hanging on. ” Price, 50 cents;
