She Will Swear to a Visit Made t1
Her~ Cottage Last March. by Mrs
Nuck, in Company with Gulden-
suppe. '“
New York, Nov. 22.—Martin Thorn,
indicted with Mrs. Augusta Nack fo:
the murder of William Guldensuppe,
the Turkish bath rubber, at the Wood-
side cottage on June 25 last, was placed
on trial for his life the second time
in the Queens County Court House at
9.40 this morning. District Attorney
Youngs says that the trial will be con-
ducted on the same procedure on which
the former trial was begun when in-
terrupted by the illness of Juror Lari
sen. He expresses himself as being
confident of securing a. conviction. and
intimated that the prosecution, if any-
thing, is stronger than on the previous
trial, as during the lapse of ten days
~.he has been enabled to secure many
additional points in substantiation oi
ers. Nack’s confession, “which the de-
fense is preparing to deny. , '
William F. Howe, Thorn’s counsel, or
the other hand, has not been idle, and
proposes to produce a. newly discovered
:witness, who will give testimony for
the defense. Lawyer Moss alleges that
‘this witness will upset the case of the
prosecution considerably and the con-
fession of Mrs. Neck, and will help
prove the case of the defense that it
.was Mrs. Nack who lured, shot and
.killed the Turkish bath rubber in the
,Woodside cottage, and that it was she
Lwho afterward cut the body up in the
different portions in which it was
found.
The defense, to bear out this latter
grewsome part, will endeavor to prove
that Thorn is entirely ignorant of surv
gery, while Mrs. Nack was a skilled
woman in her knowledge of the differ-
ent parts of anatomy, which knowledge
she acquired in Germany before receiv-
ing her diploma to practice midwifery.
Guldensuppe’s body was dismembered
by a person with a knowledge of sur-
gery, the defense claims.
Both the prosecution and defense will
produce new witnesses. Lawyer Howe
will leave no stone unturned to break
down Mrs. Nack's confession, while
District Attorney Youngs is very con-
fident that the story of the woman who
admits she lured Guldensuppe to his
death will be minutely corroborated.
link after link.
The newly discovered witness of the
defense is said to be a. Mrs. Ida Ziegler.
of 1671 West Farms road, in the An-
nexed District. It is claimed that Mrs,
Ziegler will be a very important wit-
ness for the defense, and will give evi-
dence tending to show that as early as
'last March Mrs. Nack had designs or.
Guldensuppe’s life, and that she, ac-
companied by Guldensuppe, had agreed-
to hire her cottage which she had for
rent in an isolated part of West Farms,
Mr. Moss to—day said that Mrs. Ziegler
had positively identified Mrs. Nacn, and
from a photograph of unidensuppe
shown to her the newly discovered wit-
ness had also identified the picture as
one of the Turkish bath rubber, the
man who accompanied Mrs. Nuck. Af-
ter carefully viewing the Ziegler cot-
tage the couple never returned.
District Attorney Youngs attaches
much importance to the finding of the
saw in the Flushing Meadows since the
confession of Mrs. Nack. The latter
told the officers of the law where she
had accompanied Thorn to hide the'
saw after the cutting up of Gulden-
suppe’s body. Mr. Howe discredits the
saw story and intimates that it was
placed where found by the prosecution
One hundredand fifty talesmen have
~been empancled. 'Mr. Youngs says that
not more than two days ought to be oc-
cupied in securing a jury,and he expects
to open the case for the prosecution not
later than YVedncsday. On the former
trial all jury-getting records in cele-
brated cases were broken. Twelve good
men and true were secured as com-
petent jurors in one day.
Mrs. Nack spends her time knitting
in her cell. She is visited almost daily
by her spiritual adviser, the Rev. B. H.
P. Miles, pastor of the Presbyterian
Church, who also visits Thorn. The
latter whiles away his time playing
pinochle with his cellmates. A strict
watch is kept on the prisoner night and
day, as the officials have reasons to
believe that Thorn might end his life
any time he got‘ a convenient chance.
Big Failure in Elmira.

The mortgages are in favoruof the

dred Brewster Was Insane.
THE TRIAL BEGINS ,TO-DAY
Difficulty in Securing :1 Jury II An-
ticipated, as the, Case Has At-
tracted Much Attention—Jealous:
Caused the' Tragedy.
Montpelier, Vt., Nov. 22.—A strange
murder case, the outgrowth of the jeal.
ousy of a young woman, was called {0]
trial in the'County Court here this
morning. Mildred Brewster, who mur.
dered Anna Wheeler on May 29, wa:
called upon to defend a life about
which she cares nothing. She professes
to long for death, but nevertheless
learned counsel will endeavor to save
her. The defense will be emotional in«
sanity. The case is attracting great
attention in this section of the State
and there was a large crowd in the
courtroom at the opening of the trial.
Those engaged in the case expect
much trouble in securing a jury. Few
persons in this county have not heard
of the strange murder, and sympathy
for; the young woman or for her victim
~ is likely to bar out many of the ales-
men. It is expectedthat no testimony
will be introduced before Wednesday.
The trial mayibring out (many of the
circumstances leading up Ito. the mur-
der. Little is known now, but it‘.is be-
lieved the defense will reveal all the
inner history of the affair. .
It is known only that" Miss Bre sfé.
heard that a certain John W elei
intended‘ to take Anna, Wheeler, who'
was not related to him, to a memorial
service in Barre. She went to the house
where Miss Wheeler was employed to
make inquiries. Tliey were engaged in
conversation for a while, and then they
started to go to Wheeler’s house, about
half a mile away. It was raining and
they walked together under an um-
brella. D
About one hundred yards from their
destination Mildred Brewster shot her
companion through the brain. Then
she shot herself in the head. The young
women were found soon afterward, and
LIFE '
l
were carried to John Wheeler’s house.
They were removed to the hospital
later, and Miss Wheeler died, while
Miss Brewster lay between life and
death for several weeks.
The one desire of Miss Brewster- since
the shooting has been to die, and the
attendants at the hospital declare that
on two occasions she attempted to take
her life while under their care—once by
trying to drown in the bathtub and at
another time by taking poison.
Wesley Brewster, of Huntington,
father of the young woman, has left his
affairs at home in charge of his son and
has remained in this city in almost con—
stant attendance upon the prisoner.
Her mother died several years ago.
The mental condition of Miss Brew-
ster has been examined into by Dr. F.
W. Page, superintendent of the State
Asylum, in Waterbury; by Dr. S. E.
Lawton, superintendent of the Brattle-
boro Retreat; by Dr. Charles Page, of
Danvers, Mass, and by Dr. Fisher, 01
Boston.
A letter, which Shows the trend of the
young woman’s mind before the mur-
der, was found in her room. It said:
“Don’t blame lovesick girls, for they
were made thus loving. A handsome
girl is something. One real good, will-
ing, self-sacrificing, more. But the one
who loves almost to distraction is the
best. Take those lukewarm, indiffer-
ent, loveless beauties, you would be
come marital martyrs. She is the pre-
' mium wife whose fervld, glowing, de-
voted, whole-souled love knows no
limit; Who is spellbound, magnetized
and~ entranced, beside herself when be-
side her sweetheart, whose love, tor-
rentlike, sweeps all before it, making
all possible allowances for imperfec-
tions in the loved one and magnifying
to the highest degree all his desirable
and lovable traits of character.
“MILDRED BREWSTER.”
John Wheeler, who now stands as one
_of the central figures in the case, is 21
years old and is a. stonecutter. He came
to this city from Montreal about two
years ago and became popular in the
set with which he allied himself. He is
a. member of Company H, Vermont Na-
tional Guard. ‘

A GREAT CHERRY OFICHARILIt
How an Immense Crop is Handled on a
California Ranch.
Probably there is no better ‘ known
and certainly there are few large:
ranches. in the State of California than
that owned by the Meek estate. , It is
situated a little way outside the city
of Oakland, and it covers a huge tract
of land between San Lorenzo and Hay-
wards. It is spread over 3,300 acres
of some of the finest fruit-bearing
country on the Pacific coast. A thou-
sand acres of this extent is in fruit, for
the most part cherries.
The ranch is' owned and controlled
by the two Meek brothers and their
sisters, how skilfully may be known
from the fact that in spite of hard
times and a depressed market there has
never been a year when it has net paid
and paid liberally. A full crop at
cherries from this wonderful orchard
will bring its owners anywhere from
$30,000 to $35,000.
During the cherry picking season the
sight is picturesque, for the' pickers
come by families and live in the cher-
ry orchard in a small village of tents:
At the height of theseason nearly one
hundred and fifty pickers are em‘
ployed. They. are of all ages and botl:
sexes, as the work is of such a. nature
that it can be performed as well by wo- -
men as by men, as well by a ten—year-
old girl, as by a grown man. The pick-
ers are, of course, boarded at the ex-
pense of the ranch, and besides, are
..paid from 75 cents to $1 a day, so that
wife and two or three children can, '
make as much money during the few
weeks of the picking season as the
head of the house can earn during the
entire year.
After the picking, the cherries are
taken over to the packing—house, and
handled at once. The riper cherries
areE sorted out and put upon local mar-
kets, while the more backward are
shipped-East. The fdrce of packers
can dispose of 420 boxes per day. Two
thousand boxes go to the earload, and .
must be hurried to their destination as
speedily as possible, for there is no
fruit that loses its flavor quicker by
overkeeping than the cherry. For the
same reason the boxes must'be rapidly
marketed, for they will not keep many
hours in the heat of an Eastern sum-
mer.——San Francisco Wave.
ROBIN'S-EGG BLUE COFFIN.
Made for an Eccentric Young Man of Cen-
tral New Yul‘k.
Clad in a suit of white duck, with a
bunch of June roses in his right hand,
the body of Frederick Duffy was laid to
rest in a coffin covered with cloth oi
robin’s egg blue, at Mycenae, a little
village near Syracuse, the other day.
Young Duffygnvho died of consumption,
was superintendent of the Methodist
Episcopal Sunday school at Mycenae.
He had always been of an effeminate
nature, and, could sew like an expert
seamstress. He left a memorandum oi
the war,r his funeral was to be con-
ducted, which was carried out to the
letter. Besides the casket of robin’s
egg blue, the white duck and June
roses, the hymns to be sung were des-
ignated, as well as the persons who
were to sing them, says the Buffalo In-
quirer. '
A programme of exercises indicated
just when the singing, preaching and
prayer were to take place. Two fun—
eral sermons were preached, as he in‘ ‘
dicated, one by Rev.. Robert B. Ad-
ams, from the text: “Weep not; she
is not dead, but sleepeth,” and the
other by Rev. W. E. Brown, both of
Syracuse, from the text: “He that be-
lieveth in me, though he were dead,
yet shall he live.”
Each sermon was to be exactly twen-
ty minutes inlength. There was to be
prayer at the house at 1 p. m., and
services at the little red school house
at 2 p. 111. He told where the casket
'was to stand, with his father, mother,
and brother at its head, other relatives
at the foot, and friends in a part of the
house which he designated. He named
the undertaker and bearers and lo-
cated his grave. Everything was car-
ried out according to programme, and?
there was never a bigger funeral at"
Mycenae. _ .
THE QUEEREST'OF ALL MODELS.
Can Hold a Laryngoscope in Her Throat
for Hours for Sake of Science.
La grippe, that ' Russian bugbear
which has made things interesting for
the doctors and uncomfortable for hu-
manity during the past three or four
years, is more dreaded for its conse-
quences than its original attack, re-'
marks the St. Louis Republic.
This year, while the grip‘ was not
as malignant as in years gone by, the
aftermath was often serious for those
attacked with it. It seems to have
weakened the larynx in many cases,
leaving behind a swelling of the vocal
cords and an inflammation of the
larynx itself. Local treatment is nee--
essary in that case, and that means
the insertion of a larynx mirror to ex‘
amine and treat the diseased parts.
Now, his just here where the dif-
ficulty comes in. Few ,persons can .
stand the introduction of the laryngos-
cope, and physicians. have to train
them to it gradually. A prominent
local physician and surgeon said the
other day that when he practised. at
Vienna in the hospitals and clinics the
students relied for a study of the lar-
ynx upon a. larynx model. This was
a-weman, who had so trained her
throat to the insertion of the laryngo-
scope that she coultbstandit' for hours
at a time. ‘ She was in great demand
going from clinic to clinic, and offer-
ing her services to the students and
practising physicians.
This might prove a. lucrative voca-
tion “for a woman in these .parts of the
country. Plenty ,9! nerve and patience
should- soon‘ train her to be capable of
holding her. mouth open with the
laryngoscooe sticking tuber: throat.
