Mrs. Nack and Thorn Planned to
Commit Suicide.
pTHORN’S NOTE TO MRS.NACK
Alleged Guldensuppe Murderer Tells
the Woman He Approves Her Idea
of Suicide—but Later—Given Up All
Hope 'to Escape.
New York, Oct. 7.—Sheriff Doht last
night made public the following letter
from Martin Thorn, accused of the
murder of William Guldensuppe, to
Mrs. Augusta Nack, his alleged accom-
plice: _
“My Dear: You wrote of self—de-
streuction. That would be the last. I
have thought it over long ago, and
came to the conclusion that it would be
the best for me, but not before all is
done to gain liberty. Perhaps it would
be the better way, and it would be easy
to accomplish it. I have a- prescription
that 1 can get or buy at any drug store,
but have patience and endurance, and
say what I would write to you, and if
it comes to extremes then it is time,
and I will. arrange it so. It is not on
account of living I would like tovget
free, but in spite of people here.”
The above was apparently a'reply to
the following note from Mrs. Nack:
“Dear Martin: I send you a couple
of potatoes. If you do not care to eat
them perhaps the others will. Dear
child, send me a few lines how you feel.
Dear child, I believe there is little hope
for us. I feel very bad this afternoon.
Send me a letter by your sister or by
your brother-in-law. I wish they would
procure us something so that we can
make an end to our lives. This would
be the best. My attorney assures me
that the evidence against me' is as
strong as that against you, and that
Iyou have talked too much, which in-
jures us both, for the proofs are on
hand. Good-night." '
Sheiff Doht, in relating how he got
possession of Thorn’s letter, said that
Thorn made a desperate fight in trying
to prevent the Sheriff and his keepers
from getting possession of the letter.
He then tore it up in small pieces. Ac-
cording to the Sheriff this is not the
letter which Mrs. Nack wrote to Thorn.
.It is evidently a reply to that letter by
Thorn. The letter was in German, was
not completed and unsigned.
This letter of Thorn’s was delivered
by Sheriff Doht to District Attorney
Youngs, and after the pieces had been
put together in the District Attorney’s
office the letter was translated and then
made public.
Sheriff Doht has placed an extra
guard over both prisoners. Mrs. Nack
is in a. hysterical condition, and the
Sheriff said he would not be surprised
if she broke down completely and made
a. confession.
Thorn is in a very sulky mood, but is
trying to keep up his nerve. The Sheriff
said he had taken every precaution to
prevent Mrs. Nack or Thorn from mak-
ing an attempt on their lives. He said
it was not possible for either of the
prisoners to escape from the jail.
Sheriff Doht, after making public
Thorn’s letter, said that Mrs. Nack un-
doubtedly lied when she denied that
she had written the letters to Thorn.
Mrs. Nack had her attention called
to a part of the published letter which
intimated that she contemplated com-
mitting suicide if she got a chance. On
hearing this Mrs.‘ Nack became hyster-
ical and wept and moaned. Between
her sobs she said that if it was not for
her poor mother she would be better off
dead. She said that everybody seemed
to be hounding her for her life.

REJ ECT ED BY GERMANY.
Refuses to Recognize United States
Consul at Cologne.
lierlin, Germany, Oct. 7.—-The German
Government has refused to recognize
Mr. Ferdinand Neumann, of Illinois,
who was nominated by President Mc—
Kinley on May 28 to be United States
Consul at Cologne. '
The Allegations Against Him.
Washington, D. C., Oct. 7.—Although
without official notice of the refusal of
the German Government to grant an
:xequatur to United States Consul N eu-
mann, at Cologne, the news of his re-
Ection caused no surprise at the State
epartment. Mr. Neumann was ap-
pointed to his post last May, and has
since exercised the functions of his of—
fice, but the German authorities have
been considering certain allegations
connected with the World’s Fair and a
concert enterprise, in which Neumann
ls said to have been interested, which
resulted disastrously to some Gcrmane
artists.
PRINCETON’S NEW TRICK.
Cochran Originates a New
Style of Kicking Goals.
Princeton, N. J., Oct. 7.—The gridiron
enthusiasts here are all agog over the
“newest thing out” in drop kicking.
Capt. Garry Cochran is the originator
of the idea, and it will probably be used
in all the games played by the Tigers
hereafter. ‘
Instead of the old method of the
Capt.
quarterback passing the ball to the
fullback, who then makes the drop
kick, Cochran at the given signal
dashes from his position at right end,
and
ground while the fullback kicks the
same as if for a place kick.
Cochran and Johnny Baird now have
the trick down so finely that Baird can
kick- goals from the thirty and forty
yard lines. The trick will probably be
used against Yale. ‘
Five Strange Deaths.
Camden, N. J ., Oct. 7.—-There is grave
suspicion of the death of five children
by slow poison in this city, and Jennie
Layton and Mary Simmonds were ar-
rested yesterday afternoon.
The fifth child died yesterday. Its
lips seem to be poisoned by carbolic
acid. The police have been watching
the house since the other deaths fol-
lowed so rapidly.

They are Norwalk People
and What They Say is
‘ of Local Interest.
When an incident like the following
occurs right here at home it is bound
to carry weight with our readers.
When so many strange occurrences go
the rounds of the press, are published
as facts when the intelligent» reader
wonder that people become skeptical.
On one. subject skepticism is rapidly
disappearing. This is due to the act-
ual personal experience of our citizens,
and their public utterances regarding
them. The doubter must doubt no
more in the face of such evidence as
this. The public statement of a reput-
able citizen living right-here at home,
one whom you can see every day, leaves
no ground for the skeptic to stand on.
Mrs. John Grace, of 32 Plattsville
avenue, says: “I am well up in years,
and for quite a long time I have suffered
with my back and kidneys. The pain
often extended down into my limbs and
was frequently so severe that I sup-
posed I had rheumatism. I was advised
to use Doan’s Kidney Bills, and began
taking them. I think the pills- are a.
good thing, they cured me. 7’

WILSON suseso‘r HELD.
I'olice Detain thei Man Who Said ne‘
Helped Km; the Librarian.
Philadelphia, O'c'ti 7.4The'man who
surrendered himself to the police, and
said that he was .one of three men who
robbed and murdered'William C. Wil-
son, the Walnut street librarian, is de-
tained at police headquarters.
The man gave his'n’ame as William
Harris. The authorities are making
every effort to corroborate his story
and to arrest his alleged accomplices,
whose full names Harris said he did
not know. , ' '
Harris described one of his compan-
ons as a man whom he knew by the.
name of Monk. The police of the Twen-
:y-fifth district say that a rough locally
shown as Monk is missing from his ac-
:ustomed haunts. Harris gives details
of the crime as he says it was com-
mitted. He says that Wilson was killed
with a hatchet. '
The prisoner declared that he was not
the instigator of the crime. The other
two men, he said, arranged the matter,
and he “simply went along.” The mo-
tive of the murder, he said, was rob-
Lery. The men believed that Wilson had
a. large sum of money in his place, but
after killing himthey found only $1.48.
They took Wilson’s gold watch.
Harris declared in his confession that
the watch was buried in a field near
Gloucester, N. J. Three special police-
.~ men Tuesday accompanied, the prisoner
to the spot, but no watch was found.
Harris said that one of his accomplices
must have gone to the place and un-
earthed it.
Both of the men named by Harris are
criminals of the petty type, who are
known to the police. One of them, at
least, is believed to be out of town.
If Harris’ confession is a hoax, as is
believed by some of the officers of the
department, it is a little hard to ex-
plain why he made it, except that he is
of unsound mind. It may be, however,
that he has a desire to secure witness
fees.
The police are still arresting and dis-
charging men suspected of being im-
plicated in the murder of the aged
bookseller.
FANATICS BURIED ALIVE.
Bodies of Six More Victims Unearthed—
Sect’s Strange Belief.
Odessa, Oct. 7.—Further excavations
in the pits near Tirespol, where a num-
ber of fanatical followers of the Ras-
kolniki were self-immolated by being
buried alive some months ago, have re-
vealed six more bodies of men, women
and children. The search is being con-
tinued.
It is believed that thirty other bodies
are still in the series of pits, where the
horrible rites of the fanatical sect were
practiced. Thus far the bodies of up-
ward of thirty persons who voluntarily
sacrificed themselves to the fanaticism
of this religious sect, have been recov-
ered.
In the early part of May it was re-
ported, and the rumor was quickly con-
firmed, that a number of the fanatical
followers of the Raskolniki, a Russian
sect that believes in salvation by mar-
tyrdom, had been immolated by being
buried alive or walled up in masonry,
and shortly afterward the bodies of
about twenty-five of the victims were
recovered.
Six bodies were accidentally discov-
ered on the premises of Feodore‘ Kova-
leff, who confessed that he had walled
up in his cellar nine living persons, in—
cluding his wife and two young chil-
dren. He further admitted that he had
buried the other six, while they were
still alive, in a specially excavated pit
eight feet deep. Kovaleff declared that
all of these were voluntary victims.
In an adjoining garden, belonging to
Matvel Sakula, four bodies were dis-
r:overed in a pit. Sakula said that these
were buried alive at their own request.
The sect of the Raskolniki is a sur-
vival of the old Dissenters, who were
persecuted in Russia fer two centuries.
Their treatment was worst under
Empress Sophia, when thousands of
them were knouted by the State. The
result was that they became fiercely
fanatical, and invented a doctrine of
salvation by martyrdom. They are now
practicing self-immolation.
Kovaleff belongs to an ultra—fanatical
branch of the Raskolniki called the
Beguni. So rigorously exclusive are
the members of this branch that they
will not eat or drink from the same
utensils used by relatives who have
married ordinary members of the Ras-
kolniki. They will not worship in
churches or buildings used by others,
out only in caves and cellars, which
are usually filthy beyond description.
l‘heir services are conducted in closely
guarded secrecy.
NEW ORLEANS IN A SORE PLIGHT.
Increase in Yellow Fever—Indignu-
tion Against the Health Board.
New Orleans, Oct. 7.——The record here
yesterday for yellow fever consisted of
forty-six new cases and five deaths.
This makes a . total of forty—three
deaths" here, with a. total of 425 cases
to date; and 134 recoveries. _The situa-
tion is daily becoming more serious,
particularly as the large pay roll of of-
ficials is mounting higher every day.
There is now a quarantine guard
force of more than six hundred men
guarding 250 infected localities, and the
cost is about $30,000 a month for this
work alone. Should the fever continue
to mount as steadily as it did yester-
day and the day before, it is believed
that the finances of the health authori-
ties cannot stand the strain and they
will be forced to abandon the rigorous
system of quarantining each and every
house.
One Million for Powder.
Washington, D. C., Oct. 7.——One of the
first messages that President McKin-
ley will send to Congress will ask for
an emergency appropriation of $1,000,000
for the purchase of smokeless powder
for the navy. It will take at least a
year to prepare this immense amount,
hence the necessity for early action by
Congress.
In view of the threatening complica-
tions with Spain, the President 'will
urge Congress to act expeditiously.
A- Millionaire Kicker.
San Francisco, Oct. 7.—The old mil-
lionaire, Mr. William B. Bradbury, who
recently paid a. heavy fine for; spitting
on the floor'of a street car, was caught
in the tolls of the law again yesterday,
when he was convicted of assault and
battery on Paul Durney, a piano tuner.
He will'be sentenced to-morrow, and
train the ‘Judge’s remarks he is likely
to get the. full penalty, ‘ ‘
