Kf of William dlcldscnsuppo, tho bnth rubber,
'a. mho l supposed to luuo been murdered by
Bj Martin Thorn nnd Mm. AuguMn Nack.
Bt, Mr. Hour, who In counsel for Thorn, went to
Bg the Morguo Inter In tho dny accompanied by
EK Lawyer Joe Mobs nnd two men, said to hnvo
Jh?. been friends or tlloldsmsuppo. When tlio party
& reached the Morguo, Superintendent Murphy of
?& Bellenio Hospital telephoned to Coroner Tut-
iWk hilt, and the Coronor sent his ph)slcinn. Dr.
jp O'Hanlon, tn tho Morgue, to bo present while
j Eft the men, who will to called as wltiiossen for tho
Br defence, were there.
imJr The portions of tho corpse were laid out on one
'15' of tho Morguo slabs. Lawyer Ilowo picked up
'Kg the hand of the dead man and examined tho do-
P; formed fingernail.
Bp "There's nothing pocullur about that," snld
Kf the lawyer, " I havo a finger nail myself that Is
jjt deformed In that way."
Kj Then the lawyer examined the right foot on
Kffl tho Morguo slab nnd enld:
Kj "I have n foot like thut; my second too prows
HHB:' orer my third toe. So those aro tho marks of
Hk' Identification by which tho prosocution Intends
Hwi'' to prove that this body Is that of William Gleld-
Hftt? aensuppct This body Is not llko tbo body do-
nK scribed In tho newspnpors."
fljf "Yes.lt Is." said Dr. O'Hanlon, "probably a
'. shrinkage In tho body mny havo caused tomo
RJw difference In Ita appearance, but It's nil right.
BBS? (or the Coroner has a photograph of tho body
B Bv'- taken shortly after It wus picked up."
HB? ' "If you have n photograph of It," said Lawyer
Kt1.! Howe, "I will subprenn tho Coroner toproduco
KR that photograph In court, and wo w 111 then prove
KV'l that it Is not tho body of William GloldsoiiBuppc.
Bjf Now, Doctor, do you say that this is the body
cK'i; of Gleldsensuppol"
Bl&J "1 never said It," replied Dr. O'Hanlon. "be-
Kr cause I did not know Gleldscnsuppo in life."
Br $ "Ah." said Mr. ilowo, "I havo obtained an
K Mi admission from ono of tho prosecution's wlt-
Ip Besses, and this admission will help our caso."
ft Dr. O'Hanlon smiled. Then tbo two men who
-I ' were with tho lawyers closely Inspected tho
' ) body, but said nothlug, being advised by tho
. fu lawyers to rofrain from discussing tho case.
J Then the party withdrew, nml UIoldsenBuppe's
1 O. remains were put back Into tbo pickling tub.
A f When lcnving the Morijuc Mr. Hone said: "I
, am sntlalled that no ono toiild suy that this was
,', K Gtoldsonsuppe's bony and tell the truth. It Is
W not Oleldsensuppo's bod). Wo will surprlso
il jnany peoplo when Qleldeensuppo walks Into tho
V '6 court room whllo Martin Thorn li on trial. I
I p hope the trial will bo held in New York, for thero
' 5 is uo telling what verdict a jury of farmers
! would render If Thorn ero to he tried In Queens
K S. county. If the trial Is held in New York It will
;V' prove a mistrial, an way, and I can then show
's that Thorn- had onco been put in Jeopardy,
y. and that it would bo Illegal to try him the sec-
Wi end time."
MS- While Lawyers Howe nnd Moss were at tho
iJjEf Morgue, Assistant District Attorneys Mitchell
M& and ltosnlsky. with Central Otllce Detecthcs
Iwkt Krnuch and Donohue, were strengthening tho
' 1,5 oaeo lor the prosecution. They assembled in Mr.
lB?. Mitchell's private olllce in tho Criminal Court '
imi building nnd for bU hours were closeted with
iWi persona who will be called as witnesses to prove
? i that Mrs. Nack and Martin Thorn murdered
t & Qleldsensuppe.
tj v Amy Miller, the child who slept at Mrs. Nack's
K 'S bouse on tho night after the murder, was the
9 til first who was examined yesti-rdny. A stcnog-
gT if rpher"took her statement. Then Mrs. Nack a ,
4 i3. friend, Georgo Duck, who keeps a restaurant at
KVf 7U tilxth a enue, was exainiucd. On the Bun- I
ai day after tho murder, liULk said, Mrs. Nack
f asked him to go to the Munay Hill baths and
; make Inquiries about Ololdsenbuppe.
$ ij, "Mrs. Sack eceiued queer thot day," said
; 's- Duck, "and I (.bought bowethlng was up tie-
i tween her nnd Gleldscnsuppo. When she asked
; J tne to go to the Laths. I decided to go. Just to
, oblige her. although 1 felt that I was going on a
i !? fool s errand. When I returned, Mrs. Nack did
V ft not say anything, but In ui) own mind I con- I
;; '4 eluded that she had an object in sending me to
', z, make the inquiry that day."
a n Dr. Kred Grunt, who Is stopping at the Cum-
J-" berland Hotel, also made a statement, under
".. X oath, at the District Attorney's office yesterday.
f ii He said that he had been a patron of the Murray
5 j; Mill baths, and knew Gleldsensuppe very well.
' , The doctor said that bo bad vbltid the Morgue
L IL ana fully Identified tho body as that of Qleldaen--.
UPPO.
' h' I could not bo mistaken," said the doctor,
it- S " for there wero certain marks on Gleldsen-
;-, suppe's body that I noticed very many times.
p1 1 will swear positively that tho body I saw at
:- '?; the Morgue was thut of Gleldscnsuppo. and I
U p have no object In mixing up in tbiscuse except
; a to tell the truth and thus aid justice."
L ' Miss Cornelia Haven of 235 Kest Twenty-

The Metropolitan Street Railway Company
having filed with tho Commissioner of Public
Works a map showing Its plan (or reconstruct
ing the Madison nvenuo lino from Contro strcot
to tho PostOfllro, In order to operate It by under
ground electricity, thoro wns another hearing
In (Ion. Collls's olllco yesterday morning nn Its
application for a permit to tear up tho streets.
The plan, which was tiled under tho Commis
sioner's request at tho behest of tho Third
Avonuo Itallrond Company, which feared nn
attempt on the Metropolitan's part to usurp Its
rights In Park row south of tho hrldgc, Bhowed
tho Metropolitan's Intention bo to rhnngo
tho Third avenuo company's cablo conduit on
tho down track now usod jointly by tho two
lines of carB as to make It Into a doublo conduit
for cnblo power nnd electricity. Tho Third avo
nuo company opposed tho plan on tho ground
that tho only right which tho Metropolitan had
on tho down cnblo track wns under n contract
which permitted It to uso tbo track as at present
or for tho opcrntton of coble cars, and that, by
tho Metropolitan's awn showing In previous
contested cases, tho operation of a cable and an
underground olectrlo line on the samo tracks
was Impossible.
W. II. Pago, Jr., ot Hoadly, Lauterbach to
Johnson declared that tho structure proposed
by tho applicants would boanulsanco nnd nn In
cumbrance on tbestroct, and wasaph) slcal Im
possibility. The question had been raised In
prior litigation as to tho operation of cars by
table and underground electricity in tho same
conduit, nnd tho Metropolitan company hud
called engineers to bIidw it was Impossible to do
It. This It hmt estnbllshed by judicial decision.
It hnd said that It could not operate cara by un
derground electric power in tho Third aonuo
company's cable conduits in l'JSth street and
Munbattan avenue. Its map showed a purpose
to run two tracks and lay four forks, while Its
charter permitted only one track and ono fork.
Kdwnrd Lauterbach waB present with Henry
Hurt, the chief factor In the Third avenue
company. He grew bitterly sarcastic, and, re
ferring to the tlmo whon there were friendly re
lations among city railroads, said that an era
had cniuo when If thu Metropolitan Street Hall
way Company proposed to absorb tho track of
another corporation tho assumption was that
nothing wns to be douo In opposition a " sort
of 'when I open my mouth let no dog bark'
season," he snld. "But the dog docs bark In
spltoofSir Oracle," he continued, "and with
duo humility wo say that there is aoiuo prop
erty here which wo on n and tmo rights In."
Henry A. ltobinson, for the Metropolitan com
pnny. Bald that that company hnd novor con
tended that It wab Impossible to run cars by
cable and underground electricity on ono track.
His company proposed doing It in Twenty-third
street, nnd had built tho conduit with that In
view, no said, but he acknowledged that It had
not yet been done, and that thero wero not two
slots nt present. Ho admitted In responso to Mr.
Pago thit the Metropolitan companv claimed
to own two tracks down to tho Post Ofllce. The
company rested Its rights In the original owner
ship and the agreement with tho Third avenue
company.
Uen. Collls said that If the Metropolitan com
pany had a cloar right to use the tracks, he
should not bothor himself much with the ques
tion of the phvsloal possibility of construction.
He said that he might consult tho Corporation
Counsel In tho mutter.

Company Asks In Klinre In a Dividend.
IlAi.TIMOUK, July 23. Judges (loft and Mor
ris, sitting In tho United States Circuit Court,
decided to-day to allow tho trustees under tho
collateral mortgage bonds of f l.GOO.OOO on tho
iltlmoro nml Ohio nnd Chicago Railroad to
ask In tho courts ot Indiana, Illinois, and Ohio
for tho appointment of rocolvcrs for that di
vision of tho rond, preliminary to tho fore
closure of thu mortgages. The decision wus tho
result of n compromlso reached during tho prog
ress of tho nrgument of tlio case. ThoJudgos
possod nn order thnt the potltlon filed hero for
authority to suo should stand over In this court ;
that tho mortgago trustees should nsk for the
appointment of receivers for tho Chicago di
vision, nnd should proceed as advised by the
courts, but that no application for tho physical
possession of tho property of the Chicago di
vision should bo made without first applying to
this court, which was tho court of primary Juris
diction In tho matter, and that the present re
ceivers of tho Ilaltlmore and Ohio should not bo
mndo purtlos to tbe suit.
This was all readily agreod to by the attorneys
for tho trustees under tho mortgage. Tlio result
will bo that receivers for tho Chicago division
of the Baltimore and Ohio will bo appointed by
the westorn courts und thoy will coins to Ilaltl
more to nsk for possession ot tho property. As
cxplalnod In court, thero nro to mortgages In
volved In tho suit. Tho H.iltlinoro and Ohio
Company, which owned thu stock, placed a
mortgage of $10,000,000 on tho Chicago di
vision on Mny 7, 1877, On Ma) 27 of that year
they mado another mortgage, pledging tho
original bond and tho stock of tho road ns col
lateral. This Is tho mortgago tho Interest on
which was defaulted on June 1. It la the origi
nal mortgage which is about to bo foreclosed.
The trustees nro the snmo in both matters.
John N. Steele of Messrs. Steele, Semmes,
Carey & Rond tiled In tho Unltod States Court
on behalf of tho Union Trust Company of Now
York, a petition asking thnt the court direct tho
holders of tho Baltimore und Ohio to puy tho
receivers of tho bonds Issued under tho mort
gago of $10,000,000 of Fob. 1, 1883, tho Inter
est accruing nnd falling duo Aug, 1, 181)7, nnd
to afford to them tho benefit of all tho security
given undor tho consolidated mortgngesof 1HS7,
for $2!MIO0,O00. held by tho Mcrcnntilo Trust
Company of New York. The Union Trust Com
pany Is trustco under tho second mortgago bond
of 1885 ot tho Pittsburg and Conncllsvillo
Itallrond. It Is aoscrted in tho petition
that an agreement w.u mado at tho
time with tho llultlmoro nnd Ohio Com-
fiany thnt theso bonds would bo Included
n nny later consolidated mortgages, nnd thut
no later obligations would bo Included In such
mortgages. It Is alleged thnt since then a mort
gage has been gicn and included within the
consolidated mortgago of 1887 fur $7,500,000.
It Is furthor alleged Hint tho receivers have de
clared their Intention of pu)lnglntorest on Aug.
Ion $12,000,000 of the consolidated mortgago
bonds. The receivers havo alto declared their
Intention of dofnultlng on Aug. 1 ns to tho In
tereatontho second mortgage bonds of lHS.'i to
the value of $10,000,000.
Mr. Steele asked tho court that a day bo set
beforo Aug. 1 for hearing nrgument on this pe
tition. Lawyers Johnson, llond. and Whylo all
objected to this, and wnnted the matter put oit
until after tho mlddlo ot September. Judge GolT
said thnt It could not possibly bo heard boforo
Aug. 1. Then Mr. Steele said hu would nsk fur
an Injunction restraining the roceivors from
paying interest on the consolidated mortgage
bond on Aug. 1 unle they paid interest on the
' other bindt,iilso. Ob eetion to this was mui.o.
and then Mr. Mceln nuked Hint tho petition bo
1 amended sons to nsk nn Injunction restraining I
the receivers from paying the August Interest
i on tbo consolidated bonds. Ho withdrew it later,
nnd tho whole matter went oer until beptcui-ber.

meets ngatn to what she knows In regard to the
mysterious death of Sclma Larsen. Mrs. Dlns

session ot Information that may cost a little
light nn the mystery,
Tho theory udvnnced at Poughkeepsle yester
day that tho holo in tho wall of the girl's
stomach was raucd by an accident at the
autopsy is langhed at by the members of the
mrdicul staff of tbe FIshkill Hospital. Dr. Tota
more of this village, who assisted Dr. Dawson at
tho autopsy. Bald to-day that there was no possl
bio chance for the btomach to have been per
forated by the surgeon's knife, ne said that tho
stomach had been carefully raised and lifted out
by Dr. Dawson with nothing but his hands, and
that thero was no posslblo chnnro for a holo to
have been made with a knlfo. The nerforutlon
In tho stomni li wns tlrst noticed whllo Dr. Daw
son was raising thnt organ. Drs. Dawson and
retamoro still cling to tho theory that Sclma
Ijirmui s death was caused by poisoning, al
though the other doctors dlsagrco with their
v lews.
The testimony of two more witnesses Is to bo
taki n when the Coroner's Jury meets Tho wit

Who Wrote Them to Hlm-ihe Is I,et Uo.
Lloyd Asplnwnll says that letters wrlttonto
him by Lillian Russell have bcon taken from
a box belonging to him nnd sold to tho actross,
and yesterday ho had Mrs. Dornor, n boarding
housokecpor at 122 Wost Twenty-first Btroot,
summoned to Jefferson Markot Court to explain
tho alleged sale, and also to tell why she docs
not return to Asptnwall a box of bonds, mort
gages, and lottors which ho claims as his
proporty and which ho says is In tho possession
ot Mrs. Horner.
About two years ago Asptnwall boardod In
the Twenty-first street houso with a Mrs. Mc
Neill. When ho went away ho left In tbo houso
flvo deed boxes Oiled with letters nnd papers. A
year ago Inst April Mrs. Dornor took tho houso
and subsequently turned over fourof tho boxes
to Asptnwall. Tbo llfth box, ho says, ho has
since vainly tried to got possession of, and so ho
had Mrs. Dornor summoned to court
Mr. Asptnwall avorrod In his complaint that
when ho left the boxes In tho houso thoy wero
all locked, and whon ha got tho four of them
back they had bcon broken open nnd their con
tents tampered with. In the boxes wero letters
from a prominent actress to him, and these had
been abstracted. Mr. Asplnwnll charged that
they had been sold to tho writer of them for
25 by Mrs. Dornor.
" Who were theso letters from I" asked Magis
trate Pool.
Mr. Asplnwnll hesttatod, nnd finally admitted
that thoy woro from Lillian Russell.
Mrs. Horner, In her own bohnlf, snld that when
sho took possession of tho houso sho found four
boxes which wero not locked. Sho looked In
them nnd said bIio saw what seemed to bo mil
lions of dollars' worth of documentfl, or nt least
sho Inferred their worth by Hgures on them.
She made efforts to Hnd Mr. Asplnwnll. nnd
finally learned of his whereabouts through his
brother. William Asplnwnll. Then tho four boxes,
all sho had found up to that timo, wero sent to
tho owner. Subsequent lv. sho said, sho found
nnolher box containing letters nnd pnner. ind.
not ut tho time knunlng where Mr. Asplnwull
was, she gnvu tho lwx to a man named ltoc. n
United States detective, because, sho said, she
thought n detective would tlnd Asplnwull ami
turn ovor tho property. Iloso, sho learned, had
turned over tho box to William Asplnwall.
Mru. Horner denied positively Hint Bho hnd ;
sold nnv letters to Lillian Russell, In spltoof
-Mr. AsptnwuH's assertion that sho hud ad
mitted to him and to detectives that sho had I
given up the letters to an agent of Miss Unwell, 1
and hnd subsequent!) received a ( hci k from tho
nctressfor$25. Mrs. HornerHaidfurthertli.it
somo time ngn n man named Stuart, who said ho
represented Sirs. Asplnwnll. Lloyd AsnliiwnU's
wife, called nt her houso nnd demanded ponf-ca-slon
of the letters In tho boxes, und that sho re
fused to give them up.
Mr. Asplnwnll suld thnt nil the talk of efforts
to find hlin wero bosh, as ho hud teen living at
theGorlacli and could hae been found ntnny
tlme. Several years ago. he said, ho went for a !
short trip to Europo, nnd this wus the only tlmo
ho hnd been out of New York.
Magistrate Pool derided that Mrs. Homer
could not glvo un the box If It wns not in hor
iiosscsslon, and allowed her to go. Then he tolu
At. Asplnwnll that his proper course would bo
to swear out a warrant agalnxt tho woman
for larceny. Mr. Axplnwnll bald ho hnd set forth
his case, nnd that hnd there been a ease made
out a warrant should havo been drawn. Ho
snld before leaving tho court thut ho Intended

tho houso wero seated on tho stoop. Keating
stopped him and threatened to thrash him If ho

"1 gavo them 50 rents." said Westerland.
"nnd one of the men went for the beer. Hu bad

farious trade around Carnegie Hall. Ten cats

nues, and six in tho Immedluto neighborhood of I
the hall tho day before. Several were found f
dead on tbe morning of each of the three or E
lour preceding days. p
As all the cats wero apparently killed by
