TWO CENTS sfStp 20 S C "A, OBSTACLE IN THORN TRIAL Attorneys Howe and Moss Are Confused by the Prosecution. AN UNEXPECTED REST What Has Been Considered a Clever Move. Mrs. Nnck's Scrvicos n a Witness Arc Not Required nt the Present Trial. Ilnrber John t.'olha Repents His StoryUetcotivc Sullivan's Evl-(Icncc-Tlic Defense Is Obliged to Ask for an Adjournment. New York, Nov. 28. Lawyers Howo and Moss, who have diligently defend ed Martin Thorn, mot today with a serious and unluoki-d for obstacle, when, after a brief adjournment, District Attorney Youngs Informed the. court that the people rested their case. It was generally expected that Mrs. Mack would be put on the stand to reiterate her confession, and the law yers who have been assigned to look after Thoin's Interests tnought she would repeat her statement of two weeks ago. "This seems a clever move mi the Hart of the prosecution," saUl Mr. Howe, " but I am more than pnitlvo that when we Introduce our evidence the Jury will acquit my client of the crime with which he Is charged. " Later In the afternoon District Attorney Youngs said ho was not prepared to say whether Mrs. Nark, who had made such a famous scene In the tlrst trial in her confession, would be produced or not. The case as far as the district attorney's opln. ion went, was fully proved without the woman's testimony. Water on, however, one of Mr. Youngs' advisers said that In the ense the rt-rense put Martin Thorn on the stand the pro secution would certainly produce Mrs. Nack in rebuttal. The evldenco so far adduced today by the prosecution showed .t possible Inclination on the defendant's part to get rid of his enemy, Guldensuppe. Each was the admirer of Mrs, Nack, and it was proved that they had a serious row last March. Fiom current reiKirt, Guldensuppe had evidently very much the better of the argument when It came to fisticuffs. Thorn con fessed later that he had discharged a revolver accidentally, but a few min utes afterwards told another friend of his that he shot at Guldensuppe, but missed his mark. All these things were brought before the Jury and when it was about time to renew the sensa tional story of Mrs. Nack, 'the pro secution, after it whispered conversa. tion, informed the court that the pto plo had rested their case. Thorn was less surprised than his lawyers when this statement was made by Mr. Youngs. Thorn took In the sit uation at a glance and bent forward in earnest conversation with his lawyers. Mr. Howe, for the second time during the trial of his client, nppealed to the court for time. "I shall, with your honor's permission," said he, "try to get through with my defense on Mon ray, but if it should exceed that time I am sure I can get in all my evidence In a couple of hours on Tuesday." Justice Maddox, after a conference with both lawyers, decided to post pone further consideration of the case until Monday morning nt 9.S0 oclock. The examination of the barber, Keohne, was resumed today. He admitted that the stllletto which he had shown to Thorn had a poisoned point. Then he said he only kept It bh an ornament, having received It as a gift from his brother. Bartender Kdwnrd Speck, swore that on Tuesday, June 29, Thorn had cxhlh. Ited a watch and money In a saloon on East Thirty-fourth street, saying, "this Is what I got out of my carriage ride last Saturday." GOTHA'S TESTIMONY. Other testimony of a minor charac ter was Introduced and then John Gotha, tho barber, to whom Thorn Is said to havo confessed, was called. Ho said that on Monday. July 5, last, Thorn went Into the barber shop nt One Hundred and Thirty-fifth street and Eighth avenue, where the witness was employed, and had his hair cut and moustache cut off. Thorn asked him to meet him that afternoon, nnd ho reluctantly agreed. They met In a sa locn that nfternon and had some beer. After a few minutes Thorn began to epeak of the murder, and finally sajd he committed It. Thorn told him that he went to the cottage In Woodslde early on Friday, June 23, and brought his pistol with him. He Ksted It to see If It worked all right, and fired a couple of shots out of It. Mrs. Nack and Guldensuppe arrived at the house shortly aftr 10 o'clock that morning. The woman went Into the yard and Guldensuppe went up stair where Thorn was wait ing for him, with his shoes off. Thorn shot Guldensuppe In the head, and went down stairs and told Mrs. Nack It was all over. Ho told her to go back to New York and return about 5 o'clock In the evening, when every thing would be "fixed up." Thorn also told how he cut the body up, and said that In tho separation of the parts he used a saw, .Mrs. Nack had bought tho oilcloth In Astoria, but Thorn said sho made n botch of It, Thorn bought the cheese cloth In a store on Second avenue, New York. Tho prisoner told him that he bought some plaster of parls on the morning of the murder, and, after he had en cased the head in It he threw the bundle Into the river. The witness then told of the disposi tion of tho other parts of the body, us Thorn had described to him. Gotha was cross-examined by Mr. Howe. The witness admitted that ho had done no work since tnaklncr his disclosures to the police: he had been supplied with money by District At torney Olcott and police officers. He denied that he had been an inmate ot an asylum for Inebriates. The witness also testified that Thorn told htm Mrs. Nack had helped him to cut up the body of Guldensuppe. Mr. Howe tried In various ways to trip up the wit ness, but Gotlia adhered to every state ment he made. Herman Well, who keeps a saloon at the coiner of One Hundred and Thirty second street and Eighth avenue, tes tified that Thorn and Gotha called at his saloon a little after 1 o'clock on Monday, July C, and they sat drinking and conversing until near G o'clock that evening. Dennis Sullivan, one of the Queens county detectives, told of his visit to the Woodslde cottage In August last. A piece of the surbase, which was taken from the room In which Gulden suppe Is supposed to have been killed, was shown to the witness, and he Iden tify It. There was a bullet hole In It. The witness also identified two bullets that wore found In the bathroom and adjoining room. Sergeant AVIlllam E. Petty, the In structor and director of revolver prac tice In the New Yoik police force, tes tified that the bullets found In the Woodslde cottage corresponded with! bullets, which were In the cartridges In the revolver found on Thorn when he was arrested. On cross-examination witness admitted that the pistol found in Mis. Nnck's apartments would carry a similar bullet. Detective Thomas O. Connell. who is h, practical plumber, told of the find ing of piaster of parls In the cottngo at Woodslde on July i. He also said that there was some discolored water In the trap on the lower floor, from which' an offensive odor arose. A brief recess was taken at about half-past :i o'clock. Court reconvened nt .1.13 o'clock. District Attorney Youngs addressed the court, and said that "after a consultation of counsel, the i oople have decided to rent thdr tnse right now." This was a surprise to the defend ant's lawyers as well to the majority of those In the court loom. Mr. Howe strted that as Mrs. Nack was going to be produced he was not prepared to open the defens, this evening. He stated, however, that ho would be reidy to go on next Monday and prob ably would finish very early on Tues day. Court was then adjourned until 9.30 on Monday morning. SALARIES INCREASED.

ADRAIIAMOVICS Tho President oftlio Body Is Greeted by n Stoim of Abuse Upon Each Appearance Dr. Wolll Plows n Whistle Tho Polico Kept Uasy Sepcratiug Combatants. A Number ot Members Sutpondcd. Vienna, Nov. 26. The turbulence In tho Relchsrath continued today nnd a body ot police was called In to keep order, Upon the entrance of Presi dent Abrahamovlcs the Leftists rose In a body and the tumult began. Herr Berner, a Social Democrat, rushed to ward the president, but the house at tendants protecting the chair Intercept ed him nnd a lively fist light followed. Herr Resel. another Social Democrat, Jumped upon the ministerial bench, reached tho president's desk, nnd de stroyed the papers lying there. Al though the chnlr has been surrounded with a wooden fence, the president was obliged to flee. Berner was eventually from the house. Meantime the police had arrived. They wore compelled to eject by main force tho Social Democrats who still surrounded tho presidential platform. While the deputies wero lighting, a row occurred In the second gallery. At length all the lobbies were filled with police, the building guarded by a large force, the gates closed and the ses sion suspended. When the hotihe reassembled this af ternoon, the reappearance of President Abrahnmovlcs was greeted by a storm of abuse, the slamming of desk lids, whistling, etc. He repeatedly tried to address the Leftists, but his voice was inaudible amid the uproar, tho only articulate sounds distinguishable being cries from the Leftists of "out with the police." Dr. Wolff, the German Nationalist leader, as yesterday, contributed prom inently to the pandemonium. Ppon this occnslon he kept on blowing a shrill whistle. Herr Resel. the Social Democrat deputy, also indulged in shrill whistling. In tho midst or this uproar, President Abrahamovlcs opened the sitting and twice called Dr. Wolff to order. As this had no effect upon the turbulent German Nationalist, tho piesidont hus pended nlm for three Killing?. LEFTISTS IN A Fl'RY. So soon as the Leftists realized what had occurred, they burst out Into n itate of unbridled fury, shrieking In sults at Dr. Abrahamovlcs. Herr Das zynskt, a Socialist, deputy, yelled: "You. ought to be. In Jail!" . Other infuriated deputleu shouted all kinds of Invectives, but Individual con tributions to the uproar were Indistin guishable amid the general howling from ail parts of the house. In snite of this disgraceful scene nnd the tnsulla hurled at him, President Abrahamovlcs! was apparently unmov ed, but when he recognized that It was useless to make anv further attempt to transact business he quietly siike a few words to a oollco officer near him nnd suspended the sitting amid deaf ening nnd vociferous cries cf shame from the Leftists and applause from the Rightists. The substance of the words spoken to the police officer by President Abra hamovlcs soon became apparent for nn officer and four policemen removed Dr. Wolff from the house by force, In spite of considerable physical opposition up on the part of his clique. When the president again re-entered the house ho was once more greeted with a shower of opprobrious epithets, Including cries ot "criminal," "traitor," "get out." After withstanding this storm for a period, the president again left tho house, but only for a moment, and on his return he Instructed the police to withdraw, declaring nmld a tremen dous uproar: "I entrust myself to your care. Do ns you please. But, remember this Is no personal question. The honor of your chair Is at stake." DASZYNSKI SUSPENDED. Tho president then called upon Count Stuergkh to speak, but the tumult continued, and the president suspended Herr Daszynskl, the Socia list deputy, who had some 'time previ ously shouted that the president should bo in jail, for three sittings. When Herr Daszynskl refused to leave tho house, the president summond tho police and the turbulent deputy was ejected from the building. Subsequently the president suspend ed Herren, Schoenerer, Srlener, Relger, Resel, Kosaklewlcz, Schrammel, Wel ler, Llngr, Verkauf, Hybes, and Bener. The scene throughout the sitting afterwurd were as disorderly as those of the earlier parts of the day and the house finally adjourned until to morrow. Large crowds gathered this evening about the University buildings and the parliament houses, owing to an. an nouncement that the students Intend. ed to make a demonstration. This, however, was prevented by the police, who promptly dispersed the gather ings. More than forty arests were made. There was no violent resistance. Thus far order has been preserved. THE STUDENTS APPEAR. After 9 o'clock this evening tho as pect of the streets became more threatening. A crowd' of ten thous and, including a very large number of students, assembled and threatened the government with revolution nnd Count Badenl, the premier, with the guillotine. An attempt was mado to attack Count Badent's house. Tho police repeatedly charged tho crowd but refrained from using arms, the students resisted with sticks. Ono polico Inspector was severely Injured by a kick from a horse; another was thrown from his horse and so badly hurt that It was necessary to remove him to tho hospital. A few students and citizens received slight injuries. Not until nearly 11 o'clock was quiet restored.

"How to Do It" was the subject of Dr. Lansing's addres-s. His dlscourso occupied nearly an hour and Its thought was "baaed upon tho lesson taught by Edison's recent and greatest accom plishment, separating Iron dust from rock.. Dr. Lansing said: "In doing tho work tho worker needs to be alert, open-eyed, sympathetic, that ho may seo the actual facts nnd conditions ho Is to meet Tho purpose of tho Christian assoclitlon is evi dently to be practical, to seo and know things an they aro and to better them. Ono of the greatest of modern acnieve ments is Edison's magnetlo separator as used in Edison, N. J., for taking magnetic iron front rock. Sixteen years ago Edison while walking on a Long Island beach observed a blade sand. Examining it carefully he found It was colored by particles of iron which could be extracted with, a mag nnt. First, It was Edison's alertness; second, his sympathy, which made his great accomplishment probable, Hh was untiring and want3d to relievo the condition of things which made It dlfll cult for Eastern Iron furnaces to pe-. plg-lrcn, except from a distance, and which put them at a disadvantage In competing with foreign furnaces. "A Christian worker needs to luxvi his eyes open to the actual condition of society and to be full of human sympathy for the condition of men and, to undertake their roller. MUST PRESERVE HUMANITY. The ChrlHtlan worker must pruservo humanity from spiritual point of view, and the politician sees men from thr point of view ot voters, tho commercial man from tho point of view of creatoi.s and consumers, the educator from tho point of view of the Intellectual life. The Christian worker Is to look nt a, man Indefinitely, specifically, us a spir itual being. This I regard n funda mental of the work. "Edison devised the mngnetlc needle, the electric eye, which detects tho de posits of iron. With lt aid he caused a survey to be made from Canada to North Carolina along a route twenty five miles wide. From tho survey main were made showing the deposits of Iron throughout that vast territory, Tho accurracy of the ey was remarkable. It Illustrates that, looked at with spir itual vision, men uie found out by Christian workers, This Is not dono by viewing men from social, munetury or Intellectual standpoints. It Is because men do not seo with Hplrltual ey s that churches decoy. The raw matei lal for churches Is alwajs In abund ance. Men are the material. Human ity cannot be regarded from any ex cept the standpoint of Christ. "A worker must work despite oppo sition. He must resolve, resolvo pa tiently to eventually achieve huccoss, Others will come to his aid and oppo sition will bo overcome." Again Dr. Lansing referred to Edison's rooeno work. Eight years ago he began it atuU resolved, if necessary, o do vote all ho possessed, hut tlmo and his great tal- ConfJnueiX on Rasa 2.J .
