Sharon Shows Fight.

Chicago, Il. -Senator Sharon, of
Nevada, Is in the city. In relation 10 his
arrest in San Francisco just as he was
about starting east, at the instance of 8
W0msr, who claimed he owed her money,
he said it was purely case of blsckmsil,
instigsted by "a eX-AustrAliRn convict,
who scribbles for a low publication in
San francisco, out of revenge bec8use he
caused this woman 10 be elected from
the Palace Hotel. GAYS he never Dor
f0Wed money of her and says he will
fight the case through to the end,
Chicago, 15.-In en- interview with
Sharon, this morning, he gives further
information to thst given in these dis
patches last night in regard to his arrest.
He says: The charge against nee was
orig mated BY an ex- con Viet from Sidney,
New South Wales. This vile scoundrsl
is named John NJ. Nelson. 1 had w.
man elected from the Palace hotel be-
cause she was not desirable. ! have
nothing to say against the woman"
''Was her name Aggie Hip"
"I don't want to mention the Woms1's
name at all, because she has respectful bic
friends and relatives and do not care TO
iniure thetn."
cut you are charged with adultery;
which ss defined in the laws of the State
of Californis must be open and noto-
ricus."
81 really don't know anything about
the charge at all. II is false, base, libel
lou5 and originates with man whose
character is black and low. But as l
was saying, this woman had been in
vised to leave the house and she did
leave. That same evening before was
Leaving for Washington, Nilsson came
into the hotel and demanded money
from me for the woman. l told him to
send her account herself and he said that
she would not come and if did not give
it, that 90 she had no character 10 lose
she would make it warm for me. l
simply told him to get out and then the
next thing that knew was arrested as
| was going to the train. It was q shame
lesF, scandalous proceeding and some
one may have to suffer for it.D
"Whst about borrowing 100000 from
Miss Hill and making contract to marry
hel?"
''That is a lie out of whole cloth. 1
never borrowed q cent from the wemsn
in my whole life, and as for making
contract 10 marry, l am & pretty old fish
and that kind Of bait won't catch me. /"
did you give her Sl2 GOO bsfore you
leh?"
"What an ideal I am not throwing
slices OF money around in thst way.
Now, 1 Cont want to say anything about
this at all in the papers, but this woman
may compel me to say something un-
pleasant, for 1 understand she is very
deceitful. She dabbled some in stocks.
She had noble father, who was an en-
inent lawyer in St. Louis. she made q
scene once in q lawyers Office in San
Francisco, where she dramatically took
poison, and the lawyer had Der carried
off to- the police station. I have had
some bitter remarks made upon me, but
this ia the bssest and most wicked. II
was not made for political effect, for !
am not in politics, but it was
made purely and wholly for the purpose
Of blackmsil, and I won't be black
mailed out of q dollar" Speaking of
politics, Senator Sharon said that the
Pacific slope Republicans were reorgsn-
izjng and would be in good shape for
next year. BE thought both California
and Nevada could be redeemed, Senator
Jones, OF Nevada, was now in San
FFanciaco. There was little doubt that
he would be reelected when bis term ex-
PRED.
