For his services on the former tri tl
Professor Long was paid $300. In hi'

the attorneys for tne defense there ia no

Lincoln, Neb., Dec. 1. Judge Corn
ish yesterday sentenced Kngeue Moore,
ex-auditor of the state of Nebraska, who
pleaded guilty to embezzling $23,208.05
of state money, to eight years imprison
ment in the state penitentiary. The
sentence includes a fine of $40,416.10, or
double the amount of money embezzled,
and the order to pay the cost i of the
prosecution. The court was at first in
clined to give the prisoner a sentence of
ten yea- ' h of Mrs. Moore
clinging io ; . i m he sat before
the bar where i.ad dropped in a chair
after hearing the sentence, and the ap
peal of Mrs. Moore for clemency moved
the court to reduce the term of punish
ment to eight years. The fine imposed
is in accordance with the etatuory pro
vision that any person embezzling pub
lic money shall pay a fine of twice the
amount of money taken.
The hour set for imposing sentence
was 9 o'clock. At that time Mr. Moore,
in charge of W. A. Howard, a special
deputy, came from the sheriff's office,
crossed the corridor and entered the
court room. Mrs. Moore approached
him and handed him a paper. On en
tering tiie court room, Mr. Moore seat
ed himself at the table before the bar
and Mrs. Moore and Judge Cornish.
Attorney-General Smythe and County
Attorney Munger represented the state
and were seated near.

The court room inside the railing was
crowded with spectators who stood up
near the bar of the court. The hour for
imposing sentence had been announced
and very general interest was manifest
ed. Mr. Moore was comparatively calm
on entering the room, but shortly after
he took his seat, his eyes grew moist
and the tears were plainly visible.
Mrs. Moore did not shed a tear during
tiie whole ordeal though her face plainly
expressed silent suffering. All through
Mrs. Moore endeavored to give her hus
band hope, but Mr. Moore was unable
to master himself and he was in tears
continually. : ;
Thorn Must I)n.
New Youk, Dec. 1. Martin Thorn
was ytsterday convicted of murder in
the first degree for killing William Gul
densuppe, his predecessor in the affec
tions of Mrs. Augusta Nack, at Wood
eide. L. I., on June 25. At the requtat
of Thorn's counsel the passing of the
death een'ence was deferred until next
Friday morning. Thorn heard the
jurymen polled on their verdict, but hia
face never changed color during the
trying ordeal. With lips firmly com
pressed and jiws hard set, he faced the
judge, jury ami court room full of spec
tators with well-feigned ttobism.
A bout three weeks ago Thorn's first
trial on the charge of murder was be
gun, but owing to the illness of a juror
it had to be abandoned after three
days. A second trial opened a week
ago last Monday, and counting out
three days on which the court did not
sit the trial consumed only six days.
Mrs. Nack's testimony during the
mis-trial made it compulsory for Thorn's
lawyers to change their line cf defense
in the pecond trial, and thev made a di
rect charge airairiHt Mrs. Nack and in
sisted that her alleged confession was a
lie and she herself was the instigator
and perpetrator of the murder, Thorn
Wing ignorant of the killing until after
Guldensuppe had been shot by Mrs.
Nack. The woman was not produced
during the second trial, but Thorn went
on the f-tiind and substantiated all tho
ftiitements made by nia lawyers as to
the mid-wife's guiit. Ilis story, as tho
verdict shows, did not have tho desired
effect upon the jurymen.
Iiayti Appeal Fur Help.
Washington, Dec. 1. State depart
ment officials refuse to discusa the com
plication between Germany and Hayti,
or to indicate what course it will pursue
in the matt'-r, though it is eveieiit tliat

tiio German government not to act uii-
justly towards the little republic, and it
is felt that with the gunboat Marble
head at Port-au-Prince to watch over
our Interests in the event of trouble,
that is all in the way of preparation that
can be done.
Reports that came to the state de
partment late in the afternoon from
Iiayti, were to the elfect that consider
able excitement prevailed there and
that the situation was grave. For this
reason it w'as determined to hasten the
departure of Maihlehiad and the naval
officials were communicated with to this
end. The impression appeared to pre
vail in I'ort-auPrirce that a German
warship was rapidly approaching the
place. Of course it is stated that the
Marhlohead goes solely for the purpose
of protecting American interests that
might be threatened by the outbreak of
disorders in Hayti.
The latest advices from German, how
ever, indicates that no occasion will be
given for friction between the United
States and Germany on account of the
llayticn difficulty, and that the matter
will he adjusted.

IMPOSES A DEEP HUMILIATION ON HEP
Indemnity of 820 OOO la Rrtr-lr aa o)
Small Importance In CompirUoa to
the Other JJuuilllHtlng; IJeinanile,
Washington, Dec. 1. -The exact na
fure of Germany's demands on Hayti
became known for the first time yester
day. The details came Ly way of the
iteamer from I'ort-au-Prince, which
irrived at New York Tuesday and Bho
the demands to be as follows:
"An indemnity of twenty thousand
American dollars for Emil Lueders.
"The promise that Mr. Lueders may
return to Hayti and sojourn without
iarnrer of any kind.
"A letter to my g vernment in which
you will express apology for the pro
seeding toward the Get man govern
ment in the whole tiansaction,
''That the president of Hayti shall
graciously recive the German charge
d'affaires at Port-au-Prince."
It was also added that if the indem
nity was not paid a warship would be
lent or diplomatic relations broken.
Without answering the demands in
detail, Hayti asked it Germany, by pre
senting this demand, intended to close
the negotiations in the Lueders case
and also on what ground an apology
fvas ai-ked.
The money demand was regarded bv
Hayti as far less important than the
other three, which were considered as
affecting Hayti's honor. The demand
that the president receive Count Sehwe
rein graciously was looked upon as in
volving a deep humiliation, as it was
this official who had gone before the
president and rudely submitted his de
mands. It was this demand which led
Hayti to prepare for . n eventuality.
Since the foregoing correspondence
closed it has become apparent that the
suggestion as to the sending of warships
has been modified and that there ia no
present purpose to send them.
Th-irn Make Cuiifcfll(n.
New Yokk, Dec. 2. Martin Thorn,
who, lat evening, heard the verdict ol
the jury which w;ll send him to the
electric chair to r-xpliatethe murder ol
William Uuldenuppe, passed a quiet
night in his cell at tiie Queens county
jail.
When Sheriff Doht went in to see
Thorn yeHterday morning, the prisoner
said he had no appetite for breakfast,
b.it he felt that a big load was off his
mind. Tnoru did not talk aa if he had
any hope of getting a new trial. He
supposed, he said, he would have to
make up his m nd to meet the worst.
Mrs. Nack spent a restless night, be
ing evidently much affected by the con
viction of Tiiorn. When she heard of
the verdict, she wept, and expressed
sorrow for her former lover, although
she says her c mscience is relieved. Mrs.
Nack is in a highly nervous condition,
and in now ve-y anxious about her own
case. District Attorney Younts has not
announced jutt what he purposes doing
in the case of Mrs. Nack, hut says he
will take no action u.itil after Thorn ia
sentenced.
It is understood Mrs. Nack will be ar
raigned in court next week, when her
cotinsul, Kinanuel Friend, will in '"-'.i
behalf, iTiter n. plea of guilty of man
slaughter in the flrnt degree, and that
the district attorney will accept the
ilea. In doing this, Mr. Youngs would
be recognizing Mrs. Nack'a action in
turning state's evidence at the first trial.
Mrs. N.tck tuny be sentenced to twenty
years imprisonment.

Nnw Yobk, Dec. 6. A dispatch to the
World from Havana says :
"Tell the American people that I will
bs glad to receive and distribute food,
clothing and medicines that may be
sent by them to relieve the suffering
thousands in Cuba."
Senor Santandroy Frutos, bishop of
Havana, gives the foregoing message to
charitable and sympathetic people of
the United States. The bishop of Ha
vana is tiie head of the Roman Catholic
church .f Cuba. He appeals directly
to the people of American. He does not
recognize religion in this hour of terri
h'e need. The common bond of hu
manity makes strong his faith that bis
cry will be heard.
The bishop will distribute the relief
to the starving Cubans and it would be
beyond the powers of belief to think it
probable that Spain would interfere in
his work of charity.
"We are utterly unable to cope with
the destitution of the reconcentradoes,"
continues the bishop. "For example,
our clergy in Santa Clara City have
7,000 hungry ones.
"From every part of my diocese come
reports of hunger fit to wring your
heart. I am glad to know America is
interested in tiie fate of the recoocen
trados. They etiiely need assistance."
For correctness of detail nothing can
exceed the parish reports now in the
hands of the bishop. They cover the
part of Cuba held by Weyler's men.
They are, figuratively, written in blood
and punctuated with tears. Arrange
ments wiil lie completed as quickly as
the Catholii bishops of the United
States signi'y their willingness to re
ceive contributions. It is to them that
the bishop of Havana looks. Anybody
can give, but it needs the powerful aid
of the church to forward the aid.

New Yobk, Dec. 4. Martin Thorn
convicted Monday of the murder of Will
iam Guldensuppe, was yesterday sen
tenced to be electrocuted in the week
beginning January 10, 1898. '
When Thorn was brought into court
In Long Island City be stepped as brisk
ly as when he wa9 on trial. He pre
served the same calm, imperturable ex
pression of countenance and when, as a
preliminary to the placing of the sen
tence of death Justice Maddox put the
customary questions to him he re
sponded promptly, collectedly and with
out outward evidence of emotion.
"My true name," said the murderer,
"ie Torceswisky. I was born in Ger
many thirty-five years ago. I am a bar
ber and have never been in prison be
fore. I was brought np in the religious
belief of the Roman Catholic church. I
can read and write. My father is living.
I am not married."
Then Judge Maddox proceeded o pass
sentence solemnly and impressively.
He said :
"Thorn, you were indicted, charged
with having premeditated and deliber
ately designed and caused the death of
William Guldensuppe. You have had
ft fair trial, in the courts of which you
tvere defended by the ablest and n.oet
astute counsel. They could not have
done more for you. After that, the jury
found you guilty of murder in the first
degree and the fixed punishment for
that is death. Reflect upon it. Reflect
upon the death of him whom you slew.
It is the duty of the court to fix a time
for the execution the law prcnouncea
tiie punishment. I Bhall give you a rea
sonable time the law permits me to do
that.
"It is needless for me to say anything
to you touching the facts in this case
more than to say that the evidence jus
tices the verdict."
Thorn listened without moving a mus
cle, and when the judge had finished
he inclined his head slightly forward aa
if bowing to the court. The prisoner's
lawyer then banded up an affidavit ap
plying for an appeal. Justice Maddox
took the affidavit and will pass on it
later. It is likely that the condemned
man will be removed to Sing Sing.
Juror Lue'gtrt3 Friend ,
Chicago. Dec. 4. One of the foui
men selected as jurors in the Luetgerl
case is under suspicion. Reports' have
come to Mr. Deneen that the man se
cured his position in the interest of the
defense and has for years been a friend
of the sausage-maker. Mr. Deneen had
two of Inspector Schaak's moft trusted
men aligned to him and placed the in
vestigation in thoir hands, a report is
expected todav and it mav result in the
distdiarge of the juror and subsequent
proceeding aaamst him.
The day after the four veniremen
were selected as jurors an acquaintance
of the state's attorney happened to be
in the court room and seeing the man
in question sitting in the jury box,
asked if he ha) been chosen.
He told me," said Mr. Doneen.
"that this man had known Luetgert for
twenty years and was in fact his friend.
My informant stated that the iuror had
frequently talked about the case when
it was lorincrly on trial and had ex
pressed 'he opinion that Luetgert was
not guilty. This opinion was strong,
he said, and the man thought that the
pros ecution of the defendant was little
short of an outrage."
No additional jurors were selected

MOT II Kit MCKINI.KV STILL LIVKaV
I'reahlent by her -uaide and Other
tlvei There.
Canton, O., Dec. 8. Once more the
children of Nancy Allison McKinley
have gathere i about her couch and the
reunion is complete. The president and
Mrs. McKinley arrived yesterday to find
the aged mother still living. With the
children are Mrs. Abigail Osborn, Mia
Sarah Duncan, her brother, Jack Dun
cm, and the other grandchildren who
have been summoned from their duties
and their homes, together with other
relatives, making the immediate family
si role almost complete. In the midst of
the deep sorrow of the family, there is a
feeling of joy that the president has
oeen permitted to reach his mother'a
aide before the inevitable dissolution
came and that the mother might again
realize bis presence and he know that
ha had been recognized. These hopes
nave been granted them, and they now
patiently and resignedly await the end.
The president and Mrs. McKinley to
gether wifh other relatives from the
ea t came early in the morning, the
later part of the journey being made on
a special train. They were taken to the
homestead as rapidly as possible and as
they entered the sick room the dying
woman rallied and for a moment plainly
eviden ed her recognition of her son
and others about her.
The president has remained almost
constantly at the bedside since his arri
val and kept last night's vigil, relieving
others of the children who have been so
constant at the bedside. He remained
c o e to the house all day, going out only
fur a little air and exercise, taking a
walk near the house.
SCKNB A PATHETIC ONE.
The scene on the arrival of the presi
dent was a pathetic one that beggars
description. There was a joy unspeak
able in the breast of the president. He
had again been permitted to see his
mother alive. He had answered all the
obligations of his country. He had ful
filled bis vows to his people.
The eyea of all present were filled
with tears as they witnessed the re
markable and almost miraculous rally
of the president's mother from her un
conscious state. As her son entered the
room, accompanied by his wiie and Miss
Mabel McKinley, the sister of the presi
dent, Miss Helen said:
