THORN NOT GUILTY,
Says His Attorneys and
Maintains a Bold Front.
CLAIMS NO CONFESSION MADE,
Thorn Is Indifferent to His Fate
Mrs. Nack to Be Tried.
New York, Dec. 2. The Herald
publishes the follewing:
Martin Thornc, who sat in his cell
sneering and defiant, talked of the
time when ho was to bo sent away, as
though hlo execution was only a
barber's Sunday afternoon off.
"I am glad," ho said, "that the jury
did.not disagree. I would rather haye
them give a verdict of murder In the
first degree than have them disagree,
or to give a virdict in any other de
gree. I wanted an acquittal or a ver
dict In the first degree."
"1 wish to deny that I c jnfessed to
anybody after the giving of the verdict
that Mrs. Nacit's story was the cor
rectone. Everything happened Just
is I told it on the stand."
lie showed a trace of feeling when
Mrs, Nack was referred to.
"It does not make any difference to
me," he.saidr"what they do with her.
You need not trouble yourself about
me trying to commit suicide," he con
tinued; "I am not going to do any
thing to save the country the expense
of killing me. I will make the state
pay for Its trouble. That's what I
mean,"
Denial by Thorn's Lawyer.
New Yokic, Dec. 2. Lawyer Howe
denied in strong terms the statement
that Thorn after his conviction Tues
day confessed to the killing and dis
memberment of Guldcnsuppe. nowe
reiterated his bcller that the court of
appeals would reverse the verdict.
Thorn passed a quiet night Jn his
cell at the Queens county Jail. When
the sheriff saw Thorn yesterday morn
ing, the condemned man said he had
no appetite for breakfast, but he felt
that a big load was oft his mind.
Thorn did not talk as If ho had any
hope of getting a new trial. He sup
posed, he said, he would have to make
up his mind to meet the worst.
Mrs. Nack spent a restless night
being evidently much affected by the
conviction of Thorn. When she heard
of the verdict she wept and expressed
sorrow for her former lover, although
she says her conscience is relieved.
Mrs. Nack Is in a highly nervous con
dition, and Is now very anxious about
her own case.
District Attorney Youngs has not
announced Just what he proposes do
ing in the case of Mrs, Nack. It Is
understood she will he arraigned next
week on a charge of manslaughter In
the the Urst degree. Nrs. Nack may
be sent to the penitentiary for 20 years.

the most Important resolution to be

convention to bo held in this city

cause of complaint.
The proposed resolution urges the
prompt enactment of laws "to sup
press the practice of ticket-scalping
and confine the sale of railroad tick
ets to properly authorized agents of
the transportlon companies, together
with suitable provision for tho re
dcmptlon by such companlesof unused

tTHE GERMANS IN CHINA.
Wild Rumors Are Current In Ber
lin. Berlin, Dec. 2. All sorts of wild
rumors are current hero and at Kiel
probably based In the main upon the
speech of Emperor William at tho
opening of the relchstag as to tho re
lations between Germany and China.
But most of these aro discredited.
Tho National Zcltung has confirmed
the statement of the emperor that
Germany's only object In tho occu
pation of Klao-Chau Is to protect
German missionaries In China, and
the alarming stories arc now taken
with liberal allowance of salt.
A sensation was caused today by a
report that tho Chinese had massa
cred 200 German sailors bclonglngjto
the German cruiser Division, InKIao
Chau bay, but there has been no con
firmation or this, while tho latest dis
patches received from Admiral von
DIedrlch, commander of tho Division
which were dated tho. afternoon of
November 28, make no reference to
fighting at Klao-Chau,
Tho Berliner Tageblatt is responsi
ble for tho statement that additional
cruisers aro going to TIao-Chau,
bringing tho force there up to 10 ships
with 4000 men and 120 guns. Tho
samo Journal says also that a force of
marines, Including tho crew of the
Imperial yacht Hohcnzollcrn, Is going
to Klao-Chau, but there Is no official
confirmation of theso assertions, al
though they aro held to Indicate that
a permanent accupallon Is Intended,
especially as It Is understood that
