' New York, Nov. 23.—The trial of Mar- tin Thorn for the murder of William Guldensuppe, the Murray Hill'Turkish bath rubber, began all over again yes- terday in the Queens County Court House in Long Island City. The origi— nal trial, as told in these dispatches, was interrupted by the critical illness of Juror Magnus Larsen, and came to naught. The juror’s sudden attack of appen— dicitis, for which an operation was per- formed just in time to save his life, i was the .climax of sensation in one of ' the most sensational trials on record. , It brought the case to a. close, but not , until Mrs. Augusta Nack, jointly in- ; dicted with Thorn for the murder, had ' % shocked the world by telling from the .witness stand the horrible details of g i the butchery of her former lover by her later one—the man who sat down in front of her, and without so much 1 as the quiver of a nerve, apparently, i heard her_deliberately consign him to ‘ death in the electric chair: The Trial Opens. When the lawyers and, talesmen ar- rived they were surprised by the an- , nouncement that Justice Smith, who ‘ presided at the former trial, was too ill to proceed. Rather than risk a. sec- ond mistrial of the ill-omened case, messengers were dispatched to Justices Maddox and Gaynor, in Brooklyn. J us— tice Maddox consented to try the case. Thorn looked nervous and less self- composed as he entered the courtroom than at his former trial: There were rumors, based upon the observation of jail officials, that he was likely to break down and cause a. scene even more sensational than that of Mrs. Nack‘s confession. g A big crowd arrived early and stormed the courtroom doors. A strik- ing feature of this crowd was the great number of women. There were at least twice as many women as at the former trial. The examination of talesmen for the jury was begun, and after securing two jurors at 12.30 court adjourned until 1.30. . The trial was resumed at 1.30, and the examination of talesmen continued. At 4.55 the seventh juror was secured, and court adjourned until 9.30 o’clock this morning. , ’l‘horn’s Defense at This Trial. Thbrn’s lawyer has prepared a new defense, and it is not a. weak one. Thorn will be his own defense. His love has turned to hate, and he thinks only of revenge. He will himself go on the stand and swear that Mrs. Nack’s story is true except that, instead of himself, she planned the murder; in- stead of himself, she fired the shot that laid Guldensuppe low, and that she, instead of him, as she has sworn, cut up the bath rubb‘er’s body in the bath- tub of the lonely Woodside house. He will state that after the deed was done he consented to help dispose of the body for love 0f the murderess. -Lawyer’William F. Howe will use every artifice of lawat his command to stimulate in the jurors" minds the idea that Thorn, not Mrs. Nack, has told the truth. Hehas plenty of evi- dence and argument on, his side—more so, in fact, than' the woman has on hers—and he is an adept in the art of confounding a hostile witness and bringing out only what is best in “his own. ,, W'hich story will the jury believe and what will their verdict be? That is a question which will be answered very soon. DIVED FROM THE EADS BRIDGE. Paul J. 'I‘nsatin Plunges 130 Feet Into the Mississippi at St. Louis. St. Louis, Nov. 23.—.Paul J. Tustin, high jumper in a theatrical company here, dived from the Eons bridge into the Mississippi River yesterday. The jump was 13 feet. It was made. from the centre of the bridge, and before Tustin struck the water he turned a complete somersault, striking the river feet first. ‘ The leap was made on a wager be- tween William Garen, manager of the theatre; and themanager of Tustin's troup. Garen thought the cold weather would prevent the dive. Tustin made the jumpin costume. He was picked up by a. tug chartered for the purpose. When dressed he was arrested and taken to the Chestnut Street Police Sta— tion. A charge of disturbing the peace was preferred against him. He was re- leased on bonds. It is not believed that he will be prosecuted. Tustin emerged from the river with- out bcing hurt, though he complained that the cold air and water had given him a shock. SIX YEARS FOR EMBEZZLERS.

' SENDS ANY AGENT T0 RABIS But So Far the Cubans Have Re- fused to Consider the Proposi- tions Malle—Efiort of Spain to Stop Slaughter; Before Congress Meets. Havana, Cuba, Nov. 23.—Gen. Pandc started by train from this city on Sat- urday last, according to the official an- nouncement, to take' charge of the cam- paign against the insurgents. He was accompanied by his full .staff, and was escorted by a company of artillery. II is now stated on good authority that he has been commissioned by Marshal Blanco to enter into communication with the insurgent leaders, with the View to arranging for peace. ‘ This is not mere surmise. It is a statement based on an accurate knowl- edge of all the facts in the case, and ,Gen. Pando did not leave this city un- til he had taken certain steps to fur- ther the object in View. ..Pundo-‘s Pence Agent. Gen. Pando, after consultation with the Captain-General, first released Damian Caballero, who had been im- prisoned on the Isle of Pines, accused of acting as a spy for the insurgents and bringing about the disaster to the Spanish at the battle of Cacao. Gen. Pando then furnished Caballero, who is the godfather of Rabi, the well- known .insurggnt leader, with a consid- erable sum of money, and caused him to he landed at Mazanillo, Santiago ,de Cuba, where a. good horse was placed at his disposal. He was also furnished with official documents em- powering him to act in behalf of the Spanish commander. From Manzanillo Caballero made his way to the J iguani Hills, where Gen. Rabi has his head- quarters. Jiguani is not far from Bay- amo, which is connected by rail with Manzanillo, and Bayamo is about half way between Manzanillo and Honquin. The latter place is connected by rail with the port of Glbara, on the north- ern coast of Santiago de Cuba. Man- zanillo is situated on the eastern coast of Santiago de Cuba. Gen. Pando instructed Caballero to offer Gen. Rabi a high rank in the Spanish army and- a large sum~ of money, to be distributed among the other insurgent leaders of that part of Cuba, in addition to a large amount of money for Rabi himself, if the latter should succeed in arranging peace. Be- sides this, Caballero was instructed to inform the insurgent leaders that the Spanish authorities would undertake to honestly establish the new autonomist regime if the insurgent leaders would accept the propositions made to them. Caballero Unsuccessful. Although Caballero has not returned. confidential advices which have reached the Spanish officials here indicate that he has so far been unsuccessful. Previous to leaving Manzanillo Cab- allero obtained a letter of introduction from a well-known merchant, Senor Solis, of Manzanillo, to Gen. Du Valon, the French leader of the insurgents, with a view of inducing the latter, as Well as Rabi, to enter into negotations with the Spanish for a peace settle- ment. ' Caballero arrived safely at Rabi's camp, but his arguments have not had the effect hoped for. It is understood Rabi has replied that he believes the war is about to end in fewer of the in- surgents; that the Cubans, with the aid of the United States, will gain their in- dependence, and that, therefore, he pre- fers to continue fighting until the final victory is won. There is no information as to the re- sult of Caballero’s negotiations with Gen. Du Valon, but it is believed that these negotiations are lkely also to fail. Another Scheme. Gen. Pando meanwhile has put other irons in the fire, in the hope of prevail- ing upon the insurgents to come to terms. He is in negotiation with three leaders of the last revolution to induce them to go to dfferent insurgent camps and use their influence to bring about peace. These three persons were also offered money for themselves, anclvr'el‘e to have been furnished with large sums of money to distribute among their friends. But, it is understood, they at first declined to become Pando’s agents, alleging that they have no influence with the insurgent leaders of th! pres- ent day, and that they would be risk- ing their lives if they ventured into the insurgent camps. It is believed that this reluctance is due to the fact that the insurgents are anticipating some strong step in their favor when the Unted States Congress meets. Gen. Panda was somewhat mor- tified at the non-success of his plans. and he informed the three ex-insurgenl leaders that he doubted their sincerity, and he indirectly gave them to under- stand that he believed they were op- posed to the sovereignty. of Spain over Cuba and had no desire to} assist the Spanish authorities in the efforts the latter were making to bring about a peaceful settlement of the troubles in the island. g . The Cubans protested that they were sincere and repeated the excuses they had already made for their non-com- pliance with the requests of the Span- ish general. Finally, however, two 0' the three were induced to start for per- suade the insurgents to arrange to peace on the basis of autonomy. The military authorities belie" [in best way’to come to an underst' i:- 3m would be to inflict upon the ,cns-m)‘ ' signal defeat, which Gen. Band "- ‘ “3 to accomplish.

He was born at Richmond in 1864, graduated at Princeton College in 1884 and went on the New ‘York Stock Exchange in 1885.

Here he remained six months, , when he returned to his old position i In the freight department. In 1895 his ability in the freight department was recognized by his appointment as traveling freight agent for Minnesota. In the latter part of that year he was sent for by E. P.

" Bailliearing Oarlocks. The introduction of a. new oarlock for boats, involving an additional ex- tension of the ball-bearih‘g system in minimizing friction, is announced As described therow locks in this case are of brass, with three-point, ball-bearing, case-hardened steel working parts; they are furnished in either polished brass or nickel-plated, as may be de- sired. These materials will not bend or spread, and so the oars will move in them always the same, and thus there can be— no liability ,to uneven rowing on account of the locks being of different shapes and angles, as is not infre- quently the case with compositions of a softer character. The statement is made that this ball-bearing rowlock affords-an ease in rowing which is most remarkable—Chicago Tribune. Not Apprehonolve.
