Neb., has been found guilty of embezzel inu f, in 000 of State funds and r -r 1 sentrnred to eif ht vears in the State penitentiary. The sen tence was a crushing blow to the prisoner, who expected but a nominal punishment, and the s-rne in the court room was as affecting as it was dramatic Moore, with his wife standing hv his side. Dleaded with the court for mercy, making a long and somewhat rambling state ment. At irs conclusion, he sanl- in his chair sobb:ntr bit terly, his wife trying vainly to comfort him. Judge Cornish, visibly affected, spoke slowly of the crime committed and the entire absence of extenuating circumstances. He said he be lieved no less than ten years in the penitentiary would satisfy outraged justice. Ashe paused, e . !c Mnnrp threw ner arms around her husband's neck and shouted: "Oh, please, Judge, have mercy on him, have mercy.' Judge Cornish then said : On account of your devoted wife and loving children, I will reduce the sentence by two years. mereiore mc amum-c of the court is that you will be confined in the penitentiary for the term of eight years at hard labor, pay the costs of prosecus tion and be fined in the sum of $46,816.10."

Tries to put theMurder of Gul- densuppe on Mrs. Nack, But fails. THORN IS GUILTY. He Admitted his Crime After Being Taken Back to His Cell. Says Mrs. Nack Told The Truth. Martin Thorn, who is on trial in New York for the murder of William Guldensuppe, went up on the witness stand and made the following statement : Beginning with the statement that he came to America seven teen years ago and that his real name wasTorceswisky, the pris oner briefly related the facts of his life up to the time he met Mrs. Nack, eighteen months ago. uuldensuppe was board ing with Mrs. Nack at that time. 'T rented a room from her at two dollars a week," said Thorn. 1 Later I understood Guldensuppe e wee e f was tier nusband. cshe nrst made love to me and I returned her love. I was very fond of her and loved her up to the moment she took the witness stand on my first trial." The prisoner then told how he supplanted the bath rubber in Mrs. Nack's affections and desciibed the row he had with Guldensuppe in consequence last February. During this row Guldensuppe caught hold of him. Thorn held a revolver which went oS accideutly. Then Guldensuppe took the pistol from him and gave him a beat ing. The prisoner lelt the house and went to a hospital. Mrs. Nack met him afteiward, very often, and they went to theatres and other places of amusement. She said she was sorry Guldensuppe had hurt him, but that he must not mind that. Thorn, at the suggestion of his counsel, then told in his own way what Mrs. Nack had said to him after that. The court directed Mr. Howe not to lead the witness. "Mrs. Nack told me," said Thorn, "that she wished to leave Guldensuppe and wished to live in some quiet place. We visited the Woodside cottage and as it seemed a suitable place we hired the cottage. I paid the $15 and got the key. On the 24th of June I gave the key to Mrs. Nack, as she said she wanted to do some cleaning at the cottage. About 11 or 12 o'clock on Friday, June 25, Mrs. Nack met me at the door. She said T have Guldensuppe up stairs.' I asked her what he was doing there. She replied : He is dead ; I have shot him.' She then requested me to help her dispose of the body. I went up stairs and helped to undress the body. Then we carried it to the bath tub. I went out and bought some plaster of paris. When I came back she began cutting up the body. She cut the head ofi with a knife. When she reached the back of the neck she cut through that portion with a small saw. Then she cut through the middle 01 the body. I asked her why she cut so, and she replied : I know enough not to cut through the bowels. Next she cut off the legs, after which she went out for a while, as it was veryr warm in there. On her return we en closed the head in the plaster of paris. We brought away the dead man's clothes in a bundle and I carried the head in an other bundle. The saw, knife and revolver were in the bundle with the clothes. We took the car to the 92d street ferry, over which we crossrd to New York. I threw the head overboard while the boat was crossing the river. Then we went to Mrs. Nack's house on ninth avenue, where she burned the clothes in the cooking stove." The witness then told of the surry ride on the following day, Saturday, June 26, and the dis position of the other portions of the remains which were wrapped up in oil cloth, cheese cloth and paper, which Mrs. Nack had purchased prior to her visit to the cottage on June 25th, the day of the killing. Thorn told of his meeting with tlie woman after this, and how Mrs. Nack had made prep arations to go to Europe. Mrs. Nack met him on Tuesday nigth, June 30, and the following day he learned from the papers tha she had been arrested. He explained the conversation with Gotha. He said that he had told Gotha that Mrs." Nack killed GuldensuDoe. and also A. told the barber how the body was cut up and disposed of. He told Gotha of his intention to give himself up to the police, but Gotha asked him to wait. He gave Gotha some pawn tick ets and made an appointment to meet , him the following night Thorn kept the appointment and was arresttd. During his conversation with Capt. O'Brien, 1 horn said he told the detectives some truths aud some falsehoods. Surrogate Weller conducted the cross examination. Thorn said that Mrs. Nack trave him the eoia watch ana chain the day after the killing It had belonged to Guldensuppe. Thorn again acknowledged that he had lied to Captain O'Brien when he said he was playing pinochle at 34th street and eleventh avenue on the day of the killing. He said that for the purpose of establishing an alabi. He said it as much to save the woman as himself. Mr. Weller asked Thorn about he letter and vest 'which were aken from him by sheriff Doht, in the Queen's countyjail. Thorn lad tried to destroy the letter, but the officers rescued it. Thorn identified the letter and the court's interpreter trans- ated it after Mr. Howe was overruled in objecting to its be ing admitted. In it he asks Mrs. Nack to testify as he told her and he would send her some more word before the trial. "Then you were assisting in raining the defense?" asked Mr. Weller. "Yes, certainly," was Thorn's reply. 'And you were doing all you could to cover up the crime?" Yes, I did all I could," said Thorn. Thorn said the reason he told Gotha that Mrs. Nack commit-. ed the murder was because he nought he could trust him as a riend. This finished the cross- examination. Mr. Howe began his redirect examination by showing Thorn a telegram purporting to be sent by Guldensuppe to Mrs. Nack on June 28th. It was written in German, and trans lated it read : "Please go where I have worked and tell them I will not return, as I am going traveling. (Signed) Win. Guldensuppe. Thorn said he wrote it at the r-equest of Mrs. Nack. At this time Mr. Weller inter rupted Mr. Howe by going back to the cross-examination, as the interpreter had come into court with typewritten translations of two letters which Mrs. Nack wrote to Thorn, and one written to her by Thorn while in the Queen's county prison. These have been printed before. Mrs. Nack suggested that they get something to end their lives with. Thorn in his letter, said he had a prescription which, if it could be filied, would end his life. He got the prescrip tion from a man named Clark who was a fellow prisoner in the tombs. He did not wish her to die, he wanted to see her free. "You were willing to die your self and save the woman," asked Mr. Weller. "Yes, sir," said the prisoner. What is 's Emulsion?

SCOTT A BOWNE, Chemist, New York. Scott "I loved her and was willing to die for her." The prosecution seemed taken by surprise by Thorn s state ment. In . this letter, which never reached Mrs. Nack, as it was captured by the officers Thorn said : "If there is no other way out of it, I will see to it that I shall only suffer aud you will go free." When Thorn left the stand the defense rested. THORN IS GUILTY. bince the above was put in type the trial of Martin Thorn has come to an end. Tuesday the casp was given to the jury, and after a deliberation of three hours, they returned a verdict "guilty of the charge preferred." Thorn's lawyers moved for a new trial, on the ground that the verdict was not in accord ance with the weight of evident e but the motion wras overruled. When Thorn had been led back to his cell after the convic tion, he admitted that the ver dict was just, and that he, and not Mrs. Nack, killed Gulden suppe. He said : "I am glad it is over and the verdict given. I am convicted and I am contented. It was I whokilled Guldensuppe and I cut up his body. Every word that Mrs. Nack said upon the witness stand was substan- ially correct. When I was on the stand I lied when telling the story I did, but I lied to clear myself. It is no use carrying it any further. I am guilty and am convicted. It is what I ex pected and what I suppose peo ple think 1 deserve, and perhaps I do." PREFERS HIS MOTHER-IN-LAW. & $25,000 Assignment in Wil son Attacked on the Ground Of Fraud. N. Baker, at one time a busi ness man of Edenton, N. C, but now a resident of Wilson, N. C, assigned to John A. Corbett on Nov. 20th., for the benefit of creditors. His debts amount to about 25,000 and his stock of goods inventory only about $15,000 and the goods are his onlv assets. He prefers his mother in law, his brothers "and other creditors for about enough to take the assets. Messrs. C. C. Daniels, J. R. Uzzell, at Wilson, and W. C. Munroe, of Goldsboro, have instituted suit on behalf of a number of creditors to' set aside the assignment on the ground that the scheme was made for the purpose of hindering, delay., ing aud defrauding creditors. Messrs. F. A. and S. A. Woods ard, J. F. Buxton, H. G. Connor, and John E. Woodard are all re tained to protect the assignment. This is one of the biggest fail ures that has ever occurred in Wilson and a very live legal fight may be expected. Nitro-Glyceorine Explosion. An explosion of nitro-glyceo-rine occurred a half mile west of Chesterfield, Ind., at 9 o'clock p. m., Nov. -?6th. Sixty quarts of uitro-glyceorine were hauled there for ihe purpose of shoot ing a gas well. The explosive was placed in a large zinc tub, located at the end of the steam exhaust pipe, for the purpose of thawing out the mixture. Tt is the theory that the tub became overheated, causing an explosion with disastrous results. A hole ten feet long and several feet deep was torn in the earth. The engine was blown to pieces. Drillers Haney and McGuire had a remarkable escape. They were standing within thirty feet of the scene ot the accident, and were hurled twenty feet by the force of the explosion, but with the exception of a few bruises they escaped unhurt. Persons one mile away were lifted ironi their feet from the concussion and the jar was felt for ten miles. Fire followed the explosion, but the flames were quickly extinguished.

On Thanksgiving Day, Na than Willis, a colored man liv ing near Town Creek, Bruns wick county, was arrested on the charge of murdering a young white man by the name of Ste phens. Stephens was found in the vicinity of Wain pie, N. C, with a gun shot wound in the back. Thursday night a mob was raised by the farmers in the county near the Waccamaw river. Willis was taken from the sheriff, carried into the woods and chained b.tween two nine trees. Lightwood was then piled around him and he was burned to death, thus suffering an awful death to pay the pen alty of his terrible crime. Sus picion at once rested on the cols ored man who had been seen in neighboring communities wear- ng some of Stephen's garments. He had also been seen driving he ox cart in which the mur dered man was last seen alive, and 25 in money was found on lis person, that it was supposed le took from his victim's pock ets. A 600 Pound Corpse. Mrs. Theresa Cardoza, a well known resident of San Francisco who died in that city recently', weighed oyer six hundred pounds. The undertakers had to tear down the stairs of her late residence in order to lower the body into the hall. A spec ial casket, bound with iron, was constructed for the remains, and as it was too large for any hearse in the city, it was taken to the cemetery in a heavy ex press wagon. Mrs. Cardoza had been married twice and leaves five children, the youngest be ing 14 years old.
