MRS. NACK CONFESSES.
NEW YORK, Nov. 9. — Th?
HeraM to-morrow will say:
Emanue! Friend, counsel for Mr-*.
Aususta Nack, was at the Har
lem Opera-house last night. It
was noticed when he came into
the lobby that he appeared neiv
ous and excited. His extreme
nervousness caused some com
ment, and he remarked casually
that he bad just come from a
long interview with his client,
Mr.-. Nack. He sat half the play
throngh, and on coming out said :
"Mrs. Nack has confessed.
That is all I can say. She has
confessed ana will go on the
stand to-morrow against Thorn.
I cannot talk about the matter
any ;urthur. I have made a
solemn promise of secrecy. There
is no u>e cf trying to see me
iater— there is no u«e trying to
?e c any one else. Even Mr. Howe
does not know. The few others
whe do know are pledged to
secrecy, as I am. I shall go
home, disconnect my telephone
and refuse to see any one or
answer any questions. Mrs.
Nack has made a full confession —
that's all I can say.''
V "E\V YORK, Nov. 9.— The Herald sp.vs :
1 . Augusta Nack has made a full con
' in. She had until 3*esierday not
■ red a -word that would incriminate
herself. She had 'withstood the efforts
made by the police to extort from her an
ainmsion lhat she had killed Gulden
supne cr that she had planned bis death
and hired him to Woodside, where Mar
tin Thorn actually did the shooting.
The. woman bad been subjected to a
thirty-third decree by the poiice, to every
known method of torment. She had been
confronted by the horrid masses of liesh;
she had been coaxed, wheed'ed and
threatoned. Ihe j roixise of life had been
Lold out to Le r a3 a reward for a few
words that would surely result in Thorn's
execution. She had remained obdurate
during her iir. rrisoninent at police head
quarter?. At si! hours of the day and
ni cht she had been besieged, but she had
Kept her own counsel. Now she confesses,
by what direct influence is not known.
The story that Mrs. Nack has told and
that she will be called upon to repeat to
t:.e jury is full of dramatic interest. She
has described at great length her life with
Gaidensnppe in the little flat on Ninth
avenue, near Thirty-fourth street. She
quarreled with him frequently after Thorn
appeared upon the Gu'dens-uppe
was violent, and to riu themselves of him
?ue and Thorn determined to kiil him.
I ° induced him to go to Woodside to
\ .ect a cottage which she hai hired, as
J- told him, to conduct her business as a
midwife. She sent him upstairs alone,
a-:d when she heard shots she Knew that
Thorn had carried out his promise.
The greatest difficulty was to obliterate
the traces ot the murder. The only plan
that appeared safe and sure was to cut tbe
remains into fragment?, small enough to
be carted away without suspicion. Wnen
the proceedings had fceen prepared, Mrs.
Nack and Thorn hired a surrey in this
cit? and drove to Woodside. They threw
some of their bundles into the East P^ver,
but were then frightened by the approach
of deckhands on the ferryboat, and drove
on until they found an unfrequented spot
to leave what remained. The discovery of
the body was followed -within a few days
by her arrest.
Rega-ding the alleged confession of Mr?.
Nack the Herald will print the following
interview: District Attorney Rosalsky
"I left Mr. Young's only ten minutes
aero, and he knew nothing of the confes
sion. Ido not know how Mrs. Nack could
have made the alleged confession. I have
heard nothing whatever abmt it from any
source. We are able to convict botli Thorn
and Mr?. Nack. We can do so beyond a
doubt. .However, jf she has made a con
fes-oon, it may have been to Emanuel
]'rienl. We are going on in the
morning to prove our ca-se in the usual
v. a v."
William F. Howe, senior counsel for
Martin 'Thorn, said at the Park-avenue
Hole] to-nignt :
• This .s a'.rcciou?. I had the most per
ij iefeise ever presented in a court. I
1 terly at a loss to .understand how
■■% lawyer, with the ontire absence of
e\\ nee against Mr, Nack, would have
sanctioned her making a so-called confes
sion, for, a-si.ming that her itory be true,
which 1 deny in ?o far as it may implicate
Thorn, if ii does In any wav, th'-re was no
evidence in the po sjs>iin of the I). strict
Aitorne3 to show thai Mr-. Nack wasany
' tiling more than accessory after the fact,
if Guildcnauppe w:;s killed in the way at
tributed "
Sbeiiff Doht says he knows nothing of
any conf bssion made by Mrs. Nack. He
stated, however, that Mr. Friend was
closeted with Mrs. Nack for a long time
this evening.
THE TRIAL OF THORN.
Now That Mrs. Nack Has Confessed,
His ConvlcMon Is Mado
Much Easier.
NEW YORK, Not. 9.— The trial of Mar
tin Thorn, for the alleged murder of
William Gudensuppe, began in earnest
this morning. Yesterday the jury was
secured and at 10 o'clock this morning
District Attorney William J. Youngs
beiran his address. Thorn, clean shaven
ai:d well groomed, sat with unmoved
countenance as the prosecuting attorney
outlined his case. When he had con
cluded the takineof testimony began.
Twenty witnesses were summoned for
examination to-day, and the District
Attorney took them one by one, just as
the finding of the different portions oi the
body opeued up to the public t-e fact that
a^ terrible crime bad been committed.
The first four witnesses were the boys
who, while swimming in the East River,
had iound tbs upper portion of the
severed trunk, and then followed the
policemen who were called to the scene of
tl.e finding, and they in turn were fol
lowed by witnesses who ttstiiied to th'
bringing of that part of the body to the
Morgue. The discovery oi the lower part
of the trunk, from wh.ch the legs were
severed half way between the thighs and
knee\ was then taken up, and every per
son who handled it until ii was deposiiea
with tne Morgue-keeper, was examined,
and each one in turn identified the paper,
oilcloth and cheesecloth in which the part
was wrapped. The rest of the afternoon
was taken up with the descripions of
tho>e who founa and inspected the bundle
floating at the Brooklyn Navy-yard, as in
;he other two instances the carrying of
these limbs was followed from the navy
road dock to the Morcue at Beilevue
Hospital. Then the Morgue-keeper was
put on the stand.
At 4 o'clock ail the witnesses who had
been brought to court for examination
had given their testimony, and as there
wpre no more available tne prosecution
asked for an adjournment until to-mor
row morning. Tue court gramtd this re
quest and the trial will be resumed at
half-past 9 o'clock to-morrow. It is ex
pected that the greater pan of ihe test -
ruony to-morrow will be that of anatomi
cal experts, who will be produced by the
people to prove that the parts belonged to
the same body, and also, if poss ble. to
prove the cause oJ death.
D strict Attorney Youngs opened, out
lining the case made by me prosecution.
Youngs occupied thirty-tive minutas in
In- opening addre s. During the entire,
time Thorn, the defendant, Kept his eyes
fixed steadily on the prosecutor, but his
tace did not betray the slighest emotion.
Lawyer Howe requested the court to ex
clude all the w.tnesses fr.>m the court
room with the except of the medical ex
perts. The court so ordered and the wit
nesses were conducted to the jury-room.
The first witness called was John Me-
Guire, one of the lads who, while bathing
in East RiTer at the foot of Eleventh
s'.reet, found the upper portion of the body
s; ill to be that of Guldensuppe.
Young McGuire identifiea the piece oi
oi'ciotu produced in cou:t, also a photo
graph ot the part of the bouy. Tuese were
marked lor identification. He wat not
cross-examined.
James Jlrßenna, who was McGuire's
companion, corroborated Mc(iuire In every
detail ana also identified the oilcloth and
photograph. He was likewise permitted
to leave the wiinesschair without being
cross-examined.
TLe prosecut on, through several wit
nesses who had found parts of the body
allegiil to be Guldensuppe's, put in testi
mony leading up to tbe corpus delicit
sougut to be proved.
Attorney Howe ocjected that until Gul
deusupoe's death Whs proved and the tes
timony as to the tinging of parts of ihe
remains was incompetent and premature,
but his objection was overruled, and suc
cessive witnesses testified as to the finding
of parts of u»e body and their removal to
tt;e New ork Moreu*.
I aac Newton, the Morcue-keeper, then
swore to their arrival theri and ident fi -a
a photogiaiih of the assembled parts. He
admit.cd to Lawyer Howe that lie had
"pickled" the parts for pre-ervntion and
future identification, wherein on the de
fense took an exception to ttie Judge's
ruling admitting tbe puotograpus as evi
dence.
The witness then identified the wrap
pings on tue bundles. His statement that
the portions of the body fitted one an
other exactly called out an objection from
the deiense, Mr. Howe etaiine ihat it
was iiis purpose to show that they were
misfits.
The witness then proceeded to describe
certain marks on the pieces of the body,
pecu:ianties of the toes, scars and moles.
Alter testsraony as to the photograph
ing of tbe remains counsel fur the prose
cution held a consultation and men in
formed the court, that they were not pre
pared to go any luriher to-day, as all
their witnesses wno bad been summoned
to attend to-day had been examined.
Judee Smitlfadjuurned court until 9:30
to-morrow morning.

CARSON, Nov. 9.— Charles A. Jones,
United States District Attorney for the
district of Nevada, was shot through the
head and killed instantly by Julian Gui
nan, 16-year-old son of Dr. Guinan, about 4
o'clock this afternoon. The shot was
fired from the upper window of Dr.
Guinan's house, from a Marlin rifle, rest
ing on the wind iw sill. The ball struck
Jones over the left eye and t>a>sjd out
near the base of the brain. He fell on his
left side, with his left .hand and arm un
der him. The flow of blood from his head
was very copious and covered the ground
for a d;s;ance of several feet. At the time
of the killing his right hand was still in
his co.it pocket.
Four persons were standing at the
corner diagonally across from Dr. Gui
nan's house. 'I hey were Charles A. Jones,
Jessie Guinan and James Dennis, the at
turney. After the shot was tired and
Jones fell to the ground, Jessie Guinan
shrieked, and, kneeling by the side of the
body, lifted the head. Dr. Guinan step
oed up to Dennis and, throwine open his
coat, said: "I'm not anned — he has Killed
hiin;e f."
Dennis at once came downtown and
was under the impression that Dr. Gui
nan had tired the shot.
The news spread very rapidly and
crowds hurried to the scene. It was on
every one's lips that Jones had shot him
?elf, and it was ttie general impression
that when 'he body was turned over tbe
pistol would be found under it. The Cor
oner arrived and, choosing a jury from
among ihe bystanders, took notes and
then lifted tlie body into an express wagon.
When ttie corpse was lifted no pistol was
tound, and it was then evident that it was
not a case of suicide.
A few minutes after tbis Julian Guinan
went to the Sher ff s office aud said that
he had fired the shot that had killed
Jones. He was at once placed in the
County Jail, pending the investigation by
the Coroner'« jury.
"I saw Jones and my sister Jessie walk
ing away from the house, and a few mi;i
utes later I -aw my father coming down
the street," young (.itiinau. "I knew
that if my fatiier saw Jones and Jessie
walking together there would be trouble,
for I believed that Jones would siioot my
lather if he attempted to interfere with
him in any way. I got my rifle, and then
I saw father walk up to Jones and talk to
him as if very angry and in earnest.
Jones put his hand back in h s right coat
pocket as If todraw a gun and I shot him. 1 '
Dr. Guinan said: "I iiid not know who
fired the shot that killed Jones until my
son admitted it. I had warned Jones
some time ago to keep away from my
daughter. He exercised a strange influ
ence over her, and to warn him I called
him into my office oue day and told him
that he was a married m&n with a family
and must not make my daughter the sub
ject of gossip by paying attentions to her.
"I toid him I wouid certainly kill him
if he persisted in such n course. I also
asked General Clarke to talk with him and
use his influence to prevent any further
attentions from Jones, who had a reputa
tion as a roue everywhere. He continued
flaunting his attention^ in my face, seem
ing to take a delight iv it. 1 talked with
Jessie about it and she told mo never to
take him to task, as he always carried a
pistol and would shoot me. When I
talked with General Clarke he said Jones
had hypnotized the girl.
"Well, to-riay whan the thine happened
I was coming down the street, going
none, when I met Jones and Jessie waiv
ing up from the house apparently. I
stopped them aud, waiting up to Jones,
said:
" 'l have told you to discontinue atten
tions to my daughter, and I mean every
word I say; but I will give you one more
chance.'
"I was excited and he stepped back and
put his right hand into his coat pocket.
Then I heard a shot and he fell. I sup
posed l;e had shot hira-elf and was sur
prised when my boy told me he had fired
the shot, thinking my life was in danger.
1 am very sorry that this thing has hap
pened, hut I vindicate the boy for so do
ing. This man Jones has dragged my
family name down in the mud, and he
has done it openly and deliberately and
Haunted it in my face most persistently.
I am sorry this has happened, but a man
who makes suoh work a pastime must
sooner or later reach the end, just as he
has reached it."
The Coroner's jury will meet at 10
o'clock to-morrow morning. Jones'
father came down on the evening train
;rom Virginia City and was weeping bit
terly. Jones was a member of the Knights
of Pythias and the body is now in charge
of thai order.

General Foster and S,r Jul an Paunce
fote conferred to-day as to the arrange
ments lor the meeting of British, Cana
dian and Ancericin representatives rela
tive to the Bering Sea. A general under
standing was reached that the arrival to
day of Sir Wilfred Laurier, the Canadian
Premier, and party, "would permit the
meeting to open on Thursday, as to-mor
row is likely to be given to an exchange
ot views between the Canadiaus and .Brit
ish. The British Embassador will ac
company the Premier to the White House
to-morrow morning and introduce him to
tha President. This will be a call of cour
tesy, however, and it is not expected that
any of the pending questions will be re
ferred to. The British Embassy has ex
tended an invitation to Sir Wilfred Laurier
to be a cuest during his stay here, but he
has determined to remain with the other
Canadian representatives at the Shore
ham, where headquarters have been en
gaged.
It is now definitely settled that the com
ing meeting will take a much broader
scope than was first anticipated. At the
outset there will be a comparison of notes
between the seal experts, Mr. Hamlm for
the United States, Professor Thompson
for Great Britain and Professor Macoun
for Canada. The Canadian Premier and
Sir Louis Davies, Sir Julian Pauncefote
and General Foster will be present in an
unollicial capacity, reiidy to take up the
larger phases of the question when the
seal experts have concluded their ex
change of technical iirormation. It is
said the relations existing between Great
Britain and Canada mute it essential that
all questions of an imperial character shall
be concluded by the direct representatives
of the imperial Government.
At the s:ime time the presence of the
Canadian Premier is expected to assist in
reaching speedy conclusions, witho'U the
usual delays of ucting through the British
Foreign Office. The formal execution of
these conc.usions would devolve entirely
on the imperial authorities in London
and their representative here, the Bruish
Embassador.
It was said at the State Department that
the first object would be to reach a settle
ment on tlie Hering Sea question, and
with that out ol the way there would be
every disposition to favoraole conference
on border immigration. Canadian-Ameri
can interests in me Klondike, rec:t>rociiy
and the other questions which Kir Wilfred
and lii-i assocaies regard as paramount to
the Bering Sea 15'ue.
Sir Wilfred Laurier and party arrived
here at 4 o'clociv to-day and took quarters
at the Shoreham. The members of the
party are: Sir Wilfred and Lady Lanrier,
Sir Louis and Lady D.iyie-, Misi Ethel
Davies, Professor J. M. Macoun, J. R.
Banning, EL Boudrea and E. B. Williams.
Sir Wilfred asked to be excused to all in
terviewers. During the evening Pro essor
Thompson, the British seal expert, called
on the Premier and His associates. The
British Embassador and his staff will call
to-morrow, and at 11 o'clock tne Etnbas
sadur will escort Sir Wilfred and Sir Louis
to the White House for a call of courtesy.
NOVAK'S MUhDER TRIAL
There Is Only Circumstantial Evidence
Against the Man Brought Back
From the Klondike.
VINTON, lowa, Nov. 9.— The Novak
murder trial was cilled in the District
Court to-day. Twenty-six talesmen have
so far been called and each side has three
or four peremptory challenges left. It
will take the greater part of the forenoon
to-morrow to secure a jury.
As the State's evidence will be almost
entirely circumstantial, the State is ex
amining the talesmen very closely upon
that point. No clew has been given as to
the theory of the defense as to Murray's
death, but it is belit ved they will claim
it was accidental, thai the bin. ding caught
fire, from a lamp an I that NovaK was un
able to rescue Murray. The trial will last
about ten d.'iys. Novak, who eluded cap
ture for several years after the murder,
was traced to the Klondike gold fields
last summer and arre-ted.

NINE THOUSAND
SEATS RESERVED
California and Stanford
Football Managers Have
Agreed.
Preliminary Plans for the Bis:
Inter-Collegiate Game
Arranged.
Rival Yelling Sections to Be Sepa
rated—Varsity and Keliance
Prospeots.
Football Manager Brown of Berkeley
and Football Manager Switzer and Treas
urer Pomeroy of Stanford met yesterday
afiernoon at the Palace Hotel and com
pleted arrangements for the disposition
of seats for the Thanksgiving came at the
Recreation Grounds, corner of Eighth and
Harrison streets.
In addition to the big covered and ele
vaied grand stands alrady in place and
the adjoining stretch of blenchers 100 feet
long to the westward there will be erected
an additional stretch of ninety feet of
bleacners, extending completely to tne
west end of tho held and completing a
solid mass of seats in many tiers on the
south side of the gridiron.
There will also be constructed along the
entire north side of the field new grand
stands, having from fourteen to eighteen
tiers of seats, surmounted by a large num
ber of small private boxes.
At the very center of this long stretch
will be reserved, probably by the Uni
versity Club, a block of 1000 seats, extend
inc up to the height of eiahteen rows and
topped off by boxes. The^e seats — each a
separate chair — wilt be roofed over and
will command possibly the very best view
of the field. They will cost $2 50each.
On each side of this central block of
University Club seats will be the yeiling
sections, occupied exclusively by students
of the two univer.-kies, separated by
mixed partisans and society folk in a
space less thai: 100 feet wide. Seats in
these yelling sections will be $1 50 each,
and first option on them will be given the
coliegians at sales at both universities.
Seats on the present bleachers and in
the westward end of the elevated grand
stand will be $".2 each. All the other seats
on the south >id» and at the east end of
the held will be $1 50 each, and will be on
sale soon at some place iv this city.
On the south side in front of the ele
vated grand stand a boarded inclined plane
wili be built for those who wish to stand
close to the side lines. Here and at the
un boarded ends of the field standing room
will be $1, ;he general price of admission.
Tne total number of beats so far arranged
for is 0000, a few more than were provided
at Central Park last Thanksgiving. In
addition to the seats there will be room
for perhaps 2000 or more per ons to stand
at tne ends and at one part of the south
side of the field.
There will be no space proviled for
tally-hos or carriages, as was first sug
geced.
An order for the printing of 9000 re
served-seat tickets was placed last night.
Speaking of the Stanford team Manager
Switzer said yesterday:
"The fellows are playing out of sight.
Every man but Murphy, who has a boil
on his loot, is in tir.e shape now. F;ckert
and Captain Cotton, who have not been at
their best any time before this season, are
putting up a great game. Fickert is sim
ply teaiing the line to pieces and Cotton
isdoing what he did at the end of last
season. Thi» practice last night was the
best this year. The Varsity played hard,
fast ball a-id went at the work in Thanks
giving style. R»y Smith is out again at
end and Jeffs is now ail right. And Fisher
is doing great defensive work behind the
line.
"Say, you ought to hear the new yell 3
and the "joshes, the boys are getting up for
the big g.ime and f»r the vaudeville show
at the Bush-street Theater Thanksgiving
night."
Of the Berkeley team Manager Brown
would not speak treely, t>ut he hopes, and
many of the regents hope with him, that
California's football squad may be taken
to some agreeable and secluded place in
the country for the two weeks preceding
Thanksgiving, so that the Berkeley play
ers may irom secret practice and change
of scene get that valuable final polish that
has done so much for the Stanford men
before each of the last three Thanksgiving
games.
But Manager Brown is sly. He is not
unwilling that Berkeley's prospects shall
be considered poor. Three weeks from to
morrow may find California in a position
to surprise everybody but Manager Brown
and turn the tide of v ctory that lor six
long years has set steadily against Berke
ley football teams. Perhaps, as Manager
Swuzer remarks, "Brown is only trying
! to throw dust in oureye«."
Reliance, which meets Stanford in this
civ in a final match next Saturday, is
now awaiting a favoraole arrangement
with Butte for a game in Butte City, Mon-
I tana, on Thanksgiving. Tne prospfciive
