New York, July 7. Martin Thorne,
the nlleged accomplice of Mrs. Nack
in the murder of "William Guldensupne,
whose tragic death was accomplished
nearly two years ago, and whose dis
membered body was found tied up in
oilcloth one iiortlon in the East river
mid another alone a highway In the
upper part of the city, with the head
yet mlsliig was arrested last night
in a drug ttore at the corner of Eighth
avenue and 123th street. At fhst Ills
identity was in doubt, but during the
morning this was removed and his
identification made positive. The man
then admitted he was the person want
ed. Acting Inspector O'Brien afterwards
tin d that he had In his possession a
full confession from Thorne, admitting
that he had murdered Guldensuppe,
and giving all the details of the crime.
The confession gives the full history
of the ciime. According to this docu
ment the murder was committed In the
house at Woodslde, which had been
rented by Mrs. Nack.
WAITING FOR HIS VICTIM.
A week ago last Saturday, according
to the confession, Thome wont early
to the Woodslde house and hid In a
closet on the upper floor. In .his pocket
hehad a loaded revolver and beside
him was a two-pound packagtj.ot plas
ter of pails. Then he waited for the
arrival of Mrs. Nack and Guldensuppe.
He. took oft his shoes, so that no ac
cidental noise could spoil his carefully
laid plan. It was between 10 and 11
o'clock In the morning when Mrs. Nack
and her victim, Guldensuppe, drove up
in a surrey. Thorne heard MYs. Nack
ask Guldensuppe a fe,w questions about
the house and heard Guldensuppe an
swer. Then Mrs. Nack s,aid, according to the
confession: "Willie, don't wait for me.
Go through the house and se how
you like it. I'll Just stny here until
you come back." Guldensuppe replied
he would wait. Mis. Nack, according
to the confession, was anxious not to
iee the nctual transaction of the trag
edy she had planned.
"No, don't wait," she urged, "go and
Fee the rooms upstairs, I think you'll
like them." Thorne, concealed behind
the door of the closet, heard Gulden
suppe's steps on the stairs as he com
piled with the woman's request. Care
lessly Guldensuppe opened door after
door until he came to the closet where.
Thorne stood. As the door opened
Thorne shot Guldensuppe right In the
head. He died almost Instantly. Then
Thorne took hold of the body by the
shoulders, dragged it downstairs and
shoved it into the bath tub. Then
Thorne went to the ground floor where
Mrs. Nack was waiting.
"It's done," bald Thorne.
"I know," replied Mts. Nack, "I
heard."
"Now go back to the city," Thorne
said to Mrs. Nack, "nnd come back
here at 5 o'clock. Everything will be
ready."
MUTILATING THE UODY.
All this conversation and much more
Is embodied In this alleged confession.
Mrs. Nack obeyed Thome's Injunction
a'nd the murderer returned to the bath
tub. He cut off the head with a razor
and saw. Then he packed the head
closely with plaster of parls until It
looked like a block of whltestone. He
took the legs off, and after that the
lower part of the trunk. He wrapped
It up In the cheese cloth, then In the oil
cloth, tied the bundles neatly, lit a pipe
and sat looklnrr at his handiwork. He
sat there until Mrs. Nack returned In
the surrey. Carrying, the bundles with
him they both took 'the ferry boat
ncross to New York. On the way over
they threw the bundles Into the river.
How one portion of the body was found
in the woods is not explained In the
confession.
Thorne was arraigned In the Jeffer
son Market Police court today and re
manded until Friday, when Mrs. Nack's
case comes up. When Thorne was ar
raigned, 'despite the apparently damag
ing evidence of the confession, he had
a perfectly self-possessed appearance.
Ho was neatly dressed and seemed al
most the least excited of the crowd
that gathered around the magistrate's
desk, eatrer to see and hear all details
In this latest chapter of the great mys
tery. NO TRACE OP BLOOD.
Acting Inspector O'Brien states there
was no trace of blood in the Woodsldo
house, where Guldensuppe Is supposed
to have been murdered by Martin
Thorne. He admits that one of his
detectives, who had been a plumber
before h.e was a policeman, went to
the house and carried awny sections
of the drain pipe from the bath tub.
No trace of blood was found by him.
The boys who carried the mysterious
tvallBe from Mrs. Nack's houso to a
man at (he corner of a nearby street
were today taken before Martn Thorne
to Identify him as the man who had
sent them to the Nack house. They
did not Identify him. A Frenchman
who had rented the house In Wood
slde for lluata, the agent, said he
Identified Thorne as the man who had
negotiated with him. This afternoon
George Vockroth, a stable employe,
identified Thorne as the man who had
hired the surrey at the stable on Sat
urday. ItEMOVING THE BODY.
As the police figure It out, Gulden
suppe was murdered Friday morning,
June 25, at Woodslde. At 5 o'clock of
the same afternoon, they think, Mrs.
Nack went to Long Island In a light
wagon, and she and Thorne carried
the head, upper portions of the trunk
and legs of the murdered man to the
river and from a ferry boat threw them
Into the water. On Saturday, accord
ing to the police, the man and the
woman went again to the Woodslde
house In the surrey, loaded In the
second half of the trunk and Gulden
suppe's clothing, crossed the Forty
second street ferry to Weehawken;
drove from there to Cliffslde, which Is
at the back and north of Weehawken;
then crossed the One Hundred 'and
Twenty-fifth street ferry and on to the
point near Washington bridge, whore
the lower section of the mutilated body
was found.
Captain Schultz, who has had ex
perience In dragging waters, does not
think the head will be picked up. with
grappling Irons. He Is under the im
pression that the head could not have
been heavily coated with the plaster,
and If such Is the case the plaster
may have cracked. This will give a
chance for the hooks to work. He be
lieves the head may have been drifted
about by the tides so that by this
time It may be somewhere In the vicin
ity of the Narrows.
WARSHIPS TO TANGIERS.
Sultnn of Morocco to Ho Ilcininilcd
Thnt Your Undo .Samuel Is No
Longer to Ho Tooled With.
Washington, July 7. The San Fran
cisco and the Raleigh have been sent
fiom Smyrna to Tangier for the pur
pose of lending support to the repre
sentations. United States Consul Gen
eral Rurke hns made to the sultan of
Morocco, which representations so far
have failed of effect.
For some years past American citi
zens living In Morocco have complain
ed that they have beei harassed In
their business operations by the re
fusal of the authorities to permit them
to employ and take under their protec
tion the native help that they require.
The ordering cf the warships to Tan
gier is taken to mean that the state
department feels that the only manner
lu which the local authorities can be
brought to a sense of their duty In the
matter and due attention spcured for
the consul ceneral's representation Is
by a show of force.
riut there is no Idea that anything
more thnn a mere demonstration of
naval force will be required.

PRESIDENT TOLD TO
USE HIS JUDGMENT
The Senate Forcljn Relations Committee
Wants Spain Called Down.
TREATY VIOLATIONS THE CAUSE
I
It Reports n Resolution Authorizing
the llxecutlvo to Take Such Mcni
iircs ns Ho Illny Doom Necessary to
Obtain Indemnity lor tlio Wrongs
Inflicted by Spain on Two Amcrl
enn Citizens.
Washlngton.July 7. The senate com
mittee on foreign relations today,
through Scnntor Lodge, reported a
resolution authorizing the president to
"take such measures as he may deem
necessary to obtain Indemnity from the
Spanish government for the. wrongs
nnd Injuries suffered by August Bolten
and Gustave Richelieu, two naturalized
American citizens, by reason of their
wrongful arrest by Spanish authorities
at Santiago de Cuba in the year 1S93."
The resolution further authorizes the
president "to employ such means or
exercise Biich power as may be neces
sary.
The resolution is based upon the dis
closures made in correspondence for
warded to the senate by the president
Inst April, In which It Is made to ap
pear, according to the preamble of the
resolution reported today by Senator
Lodge, that "all the diplomatic efforts
of the government of the United States
exertid for an amicable adjustment
nnd payment of a just Indemnity have
proved entirely unavailing."
The resolution reported today is con
sidered by members of the committee
an Important step and Is construed as
another Intimation from the committee
that force should, If necessary, be used
In protecting Americans In Cuba.
HISTORY OF THE CASE.
Bolten Is a native or Sweden and
Richelieu of France, though both are
naturalized Americans. They were
Hillors and had drifted to 'Port Au
Prince, Haytl, from New York. Armed
with passports as Americans on Feb.
5, 1S95. they set out in a small open
boat belonging to Bolten to fish for
green turtle. Intending to drift to Cape
Hnltlen. They were driven by stress
of weather to the Cuban coast.
Temporary landings were effected at
one or two points and finally almost
destitute of food and water, and after
drifting for several days, they reached
Santiago de Cuba. Tho testimony dis
closes that they at once produced their
papers for inspection to the captain of
the port, explained their distress nnd
asked to be directed to thet United
States consul. Notwithstanding those
admitted facts they were seized by the
military authorities on Feb. 23 and
thrown into a pilson from which they
wero not released until May following.
During this Imprisonment both men
were kept in close confinement much
of the time, and both suffered great
Injury to health. Bolten contracted
yellow favor.
The committee expresses the opinion
that the seizure of the men Is In vio
lation of article 8, of the Spanish
American tieaty of 17&5, and that the
military proceedings ngalnst them vio
lated the protocol of 1877 in view of
the fact that upon their apprehension
a most rgld search failed to disclose
upon them cither, arms or papers or
other evidence of unlawful Intent.
WHERE IS COPELAND?
An Ohio School Teacher, Alter Cash
ing a liig Draft in Chicago, Disap
pears and the Police Wonder Where
Hnls.
Chicago, July 7. The police now have
a theory that the mysterious shooting
of Bicyclist Nelson while in the com
pany of Mrs. Staples In Washington
park last week, was a case of mis
taken Identity, that the shots were
llred by a highwayman and that rob
bery was the motive. Incidentally they
are searching for Professor C. E. Cope
In nd, formerly principal of the high
school at Delaware, O., who, the police
think, was the intended victim of tho
robbers.
Professor Copeland came to Chicago
June 20 to visit an old friend. He was
an enthusiastic wheelman and spent
much of his time In the parks and
along the boulevards. On Juno 29, the.
.same, evening Nelson was shot, Cope
land had a draft for $700 cashed at
the American Exchange bank. It has
been learned thnt the professor was
followed from the bank by a rough
ly dressed negro. The police have also
learned that after drawing the money
Copeland went to Washington park,
and that he was followed by the negro
at least part of the way,
The police believe the negro followed
Copeland directly Into the park for
tho purpose of robbery, but lost track
of him after dark and by mistake shot
Nelson. Every effort is being made to
find Copeland, who has not been seen
since the. night of the fehootlng. .

five times and had his head and face
badly mashed by being beaten with, a

dcnt--Tho Bill Now Goes to
Conference.
Washington, July 7. By the dcolslvft
vote of 38 to 28 the tariff Mil was
passed Ira tho senate shortly bfore 6
o'clock today. The culmination of tho

the keenest interest, and the floor and

ery seat In the galleries save thoso

was occupied.
The main interest centered in tho fin
al vote, and aside from this there was
little of a dramatic character In tho
debat. Thei early part of the day was
spent on amendments of comparative

branching Into financial and anti-trust
channels. By 4 o'clock tho senators be

calls for "voto," "vote," aiyl soon there

THE BILL'S HISTORY.
The tariff debate began on May 25,
on which day Mr. Aldrlch. in behalf of
the finance committee, made the open
ing statement on the bill. The actual
consideration of the bill began the next
day, May 26, when schedule A, relating
to chemicals,' was taken up. The de
bate has been continuous since then,
covering six weeks and one day. It
has been notable In some respects, al
though It has lacked many of the dra
matic and oratorical features marking
past debates. From the outset the ad
vocates of tho bill refrained from set
speeches and tho discussion was nar
rowed to a consideration of rates and
schedules rather than general princi
ples. Mr. Aldrich's Illness took him
from the chamber after' the first day
and since then the 1)111 has been in im
mediate chargo of Mr. Allison.
The opposition ha"s been directed In
the main by Mr. Jones, Arkansas, and
Mr. Vest, Missouri, while Senators
White, Caffrey, Gray and iMlen hnvo
frequently figured in the debate. Tho
bill as It goes back to tho house re-enacts
the anti-trust sections of the Wil
son net, while the reciprocity and re
taliatory provisions are substitutes for
those of the senate. One of the most
Important new provisions ndded by the
senate Is that placing a stamp tax on
bonds, debentures nnd certificates of
stock. Aside from these more Import
ant changes, the bill as It goes back to
the house hns 874 amendments of vari
ous degrees of importance which must
be reconciled between the two brunches
of congress.
CONFERENCE TODAY.
The first meeting of the conferees on
the tariff bill will be held tomorrow ns
soon after tho representatives of tho
house are named as It Is possible for
them to assemble. The minority In the
houso will make no opposition to the
Republican programme of sending the
torlff bill to conferepce at once. Both
the Democrats and Populists see that
nothing can bo gained by the inter
position of factious opposition.
As the conferees are the ranking
