JURY OUT THREE HOURS Mctv'.x for New Trial Promptly Overruled. New York. Dec. 1 .—Martin Thorn was lasi night convic»ad of murder in the first degree in kill ing William Guidensuppe, his predecessor in the affections of Mrs. Augusta Nack, at Woodside, L. 1.. on June 25th. Al then-quest of Thorn’s counsel the passage of the death sentence was deferred until next Friday morning. Thorn heard the jurymen p lied on their verdict, hut his face nev er changed color during the trying ordeal. With lips fl-mly compress ed and jaws hard set, he faced the judge, jury and court room full of spectators with well feigned st.i --c sm Mrs Nack’s testimony during the mistrial made it compulsory for Thorn's lawyers io change their line of def* nee in the second trial,and they made a directcharge against Mrs. Nack and insisted that her a'leged confession was a Le and that she herself was the instigator and perpetrator of the murder, Thorn being ignorant o f the killing until after Guidensuppe had been shot by Mrs. Nack. The woman was not produced during the second trial, but Thorn went on the stand and substantiated all the assertions made by his lawyers as to the midwife’s guilt. His Bio*/, 11 * lhe verdict shows, did not have the desired effect upon the jurymen. When the court open'd yesterday morning lawyer Howe began a summing up in be half of Thorn. Judge charge was carefully prepared and well deliv ered. It Was acknowledged by the lawyers for the prisoner to be ex tremely lucid, fair and impartial. The jury remained in delibera tion just three hours, when they sent word to the judge that they were ready to render a verdict. ’1 he fact of their remaining out so long gave hope to the defense, but as each one of them took his seat in the jury box his facial expression to'd veiy distinctly the result of the three hours’ conference. “Guilty of the charge preferred” were the ominous voids which feli from the lips of the foreman of the jury. Thorn’s law yers moved for a new trial <m the ground that the verdict was n it in accordance with •he weigh, of e\ deuce, but the motion was overruled. Thorn faced the jurors st< Rally, but it was easily s en that h« was controlling himself with great I’fficu'ty. His lawyers evidently were more perturbed than I hern. When the jur< rs stood up the clerk of the court ag ’ i addressed them and said : “How say you, gentlemen, is the prisoner guilty or uot guilty?” Then the clerk read the v.-rdict from the paper handed to bim by the foreman. Lawyer Howe asked that the jury be poLed. As the name of each man was called out he wa asked: “Is that tour verdict?” he an swered : “Yes, mi,” Thorn all the time was I oking s’eadily at the front row of the jurors. Hu dropped into Lis seat the m >ment the roll call wascom pleted. District Attorney Youngs then arose and moved that a day be set for sentence. Mr. Howe was on his feet immediately and innvol f r a new trial on the ground that the verdict was against the evidence and the weight of evidence adduc- ; ed. Judge Maddox denied the' motion f< r a new trial. Mr. IJowe asked the court to postp no the passing of sentence until next Friday, and Judge aland, x i t At d- wn f r Friday next at 10 o’clock in the morning. Then the court thanked the jury and discharged them. Just then Thorn tanned over and spoke to his lawyers The Jvuige directed that Thorn be re moved from the court room. TH )RN ADMITS HIS GUILT. When Martin Thorn had been ; led back to bis cell after the con viction, he admitted thattbe ver dict was ju«t and that he and not Mrs Nack killed Guidensuppe,Tins acknowledgment cf guilt took I place while Thorn’s cell in tbe jail was being prepared far him. During the trial Thorn had been under charge of Police Captain Methven, of Flushing. Captain Methven bad him under his watchful eys when the jul official serched the cell. Thorn is to occu py for a day or two. While this was was being done. Thorn talk ed the police captain, IL-said, “I am glad it is over and the verdict given, I am convicted and lam contented. It was I who killed Guidensuppe and I cut up his body. Every word that Mrs. Nack said upon the stand was subs'anctially correct. When I was on the stand I lied when tell ng the stoi/ as I did but 1 tried toclearmyself.lt is no use car rying it any furth* r. I am guilty and am convicted.

I The People Believe What They Read About Hood’s Sarsaparilla Their Faith in This Medicine is Grounded on Merit They Know It /absolutely Cures When Other Medicines Fail Hood’s Sarsaparilla is not merely a sim ple preparation of Sarsaparilla, Dock Stillingia and a little lodide of Potassium. Besides these excellent alteratives, it also contains those great anti-bilious and liver remedies, Mandrake and Dandelion. It also contains those great kidney reme dies, Uva Ursi, Juniper Berries, and, Pipsissewa. Nor are these all. Other very valuable curative agents are harmoniously com bined in Hood’s Sarsaparilla, and it it carefully prepared under the personal supervision of a-regularly educated phar macist. Knowing these facts, is the abiding faith the people have in Hood’s Sarsaparilla a matter of surprise? You can see why Hood’s Sarsaparilla cures, when other medicines totally, absolutely fail. “My little girl was afflicted with eczema and suffered for seven years. She was attended by physicians and tried many different kinds of medicine with out relief. After taking a few bottles of Hood’s Sarsaparilla she was cured.” Mrs. Emma Franklin, Honeoye, New York.
