Turns State's Evidence Against Her Accomplice The Former Mistress of William Gulden. suppe Tells How She Lured Him to the el Place Where Martin Thorn Killed Him. NEW YORK, Nov. was al extraordinary turn of affairs yesterday in the Thorn murder trial in Long Island City. Mrs.

Augusta Nack, who was indicted together with her erstwhile paramour, Martin Thorn, for the murder of her former lover, William Guldensuppe, for whom she deserted her olegal husband, appeared in the role of a state's witness against Thorn, to the consternation of the latter's lawyers. The report was current Tuesday night that Mrs. Nack had decided on this course, and when Emanuel Friend, her counsel, arrived in the court room yesterday morning he confirmed it and added that she would be put on the stand as soon as court opened. During all this time Martin Thorn was below in a cell at the back of the courthouse without the slightest warning of his impending danger. As soon arrived in the court room he was informed by his counsel of the action that Mrs.

Nack had taken, and just for a moment his face flushed, his eyebrows contracted, his lips compressed and he showed for the first time since his arrest that he was in any way perturbed. He soon regained his composure and while he leaned forward and spoke to his lawyers, Mrs. Nack entered the court room. The woman passed close to Thorn on her way to her attorney's table, but while he carefully kept track of her every movement, she avoided looking at him. The jurors at this time did not know who the woman was, and were ignorant of the fact that Mrs.

Nack had made a confession and was so close to them. A minute later the court clerk called her name, saying: "Mrs. Augusta Nack, take stand." Every man of the 12 in the jury box the heard the name called, and each one of them was startled when he saw the woman turn away her head from the prisoner, whose eyes followed her as she walked around back of the jury box and took a seat in the witness chair. For two hours and forty minutes she remained there while she told the terrible story of how she lured Guldensuppe to his death, and in telling the tale she knew full well that she was bringing her paramour to the electric chair. Frequently their eyes met, but the woman was not equal to the occasion and she always had to turn away from Thorn's steadfast gaze.

When she was asked why she had confessed she replied that she wished to clear her conscience, and then burst into tears. But when Lawyer Howe began his cross-examination he handled her unsparingly, and made her own up to such acts of premeditation that the ma jority of those who heard her admissions said that she was the greater culprit, and many of those who had previously evinced a decided antipathy to Thorn, swerved around and pitied him. Thorn's lawyers have decided to put him on the stand when the proper time comes, and they promise that when he tells all he knows the court and jury, as well as the spectators and reading public will be treated to another sensation. Will Put Thorn on the Stand--Claims Mrs. Nack Told the Truth.

NEW YORK, Nov. Howe, in the course of an interview yesterday, declared that Mrs. Nack killed and cut up Guldensuppe. "Wait," said Mr. Howe, "and I will put Thorn on the witness stand and he will tell the jury the truth--that it was Mrs.

Nack who killed Guldensuppe and who cut him up in the bath tub." During recess Distriet Attorney OLcost, of New York, made the following statement: it were not for the legal requirements that the confession of an accomplice must be corroborated before it can gO to the jury, I would advise Mr. Young to close the case at once, 50 thoroughly am I convinced that the jury realizes that Mrs. Nack is telling the truth. The confession is sound and true in every particular, and ply corroborates the evidence which we already have. All of the witnesses will be called that we expected to use, so as to furnish the corroboration of an accomplice's testimony, which the law requires." CAME UNDER THE WIRE FIRST.

Emanuel Friend, counsel for Mrs. Nack, in reply to Mr. Howe's strictures the confession of Mrs. Nack, said yesterday: "I know from pretty good sources that Thorn was anxious to avail himself of the opportunity Mrs. Nack has used, and it was a "sprint" between us.

I have come under the wire first. OFFICIAL DENIAL. President Yglesias, of Costa Rica Hasn't Exiled His Predecessor. WASHINGTON, Nov. Costa Rican legation pronounces entirely untrue the published statement that President Yglesias, of Costa Rica, has exiled his predecessor, former President Mora.
