BLACKMAILINa SENATOR SHARON, OF CAL
IFORNIA.

IFORNIA.
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. Sex Senator
Sharon was arrested this afternoon on a
charge of adultery, as he was taking a
train for the East. The charge was pre-
ferred by Miss Aggie Hill, we'll known in
society circles. The lady claims that a
contract of marriage was drawn up and
agreed to between them and that in ad-
dition she loaned him 100000, $4,000 of
which he had prepaid her. She placed the
matter in the hands of man named W.
NJ. Nelson, of unenviable reputation, with
instructions to claim the balance of $12,-
600 said to be due her and at the same
time sware out writ charging Sharon
with adultery. 1t is stated that Sharon
drew his check for the amount and gave
bonds for $4,000 to answer the charge.
Miss Hill bases her claim of marriage and
the fact of the agreement of marriage, as
she states, as having been entered into be-
tween herself and Sharon, holding that in
point of law it is equivalent to marriage
having been consummated. The affair is
openly pronounced miserable case of
Matchmaking, kept back until the last
moment when Sharon was leaving for the
East.
