Last Monday Boone reappeared with
his wife. Mrs. Boone went into the Ex-
ecutivs Chamber, while her husband
remained in the anteroon. She became
excited and violent in her language, and
the Governors attendant says suddenly
struck at Cleveland. who seized her arm
before the blow came, and requested the
woman TO be seated and be calm. He
rose and she sat down, and then scream
ing fell to the floor In violent Mysteries.
Two orderIies then removed her across
the street, where she Was treated. She
has been hystericaI most of the time
since. Boone says that when he heard
his wife scream be rushed into the Ex-
ecutive Chamber and found the Gov
ernor Just letting 90 of her. He Was pat
aside by the orderlies who renewed the
woman. He claims the treatment of
his wife was 30 severe that she is in a
dying condition, and. overcome by his
| feelings, he attacked the Governor.
A reporter of the Albany Journal, who
called at the house where Mrs. Boone
| is, saw her, and the bruises. where it is
alleged the Governor seized her, were
shown him. The attendants said she
was in comatose condition aud appar
emily dying.
Another account says that Boone, who
assaulted the Governor unsuccessfulIy,
solicited for his brother-in-law, who
was confined in Auburn prison for
shooting man in Chemung county a
year ago. Boone met the Governor as
be was walking oyer Eagle street from
the Executive Mansion to the Cap.
ital about 3 this morning. and struck AT
him, at the same time utteriHg an oath.
Governor Cleveland threw up his arm
and warded of the blow. Several per-
sons near by. who saw the affair, ran
after the man and captured him. Gov
ernor Cleveland at once proceeded to
the Executive Mansion.
Boone came hers about two weeks
ago to press an application, but the
Governor then said to him he would
take mp the papers at his earliest con-
venience, and would decide il as soon
as possible. His impression was the
prosecuting officials of the county we're
unfavorable to the pardon, and if so he
could not grant II unless they saw ut
from further reflections to modify
their statements, as no pardons were
granted in opposition to the local au-
thorittes. Boone at this demanded an
immediate answer, yes or no, and said
to Cleveland il the District Attorney
had reported against the pardon be
would slap his face, and If not he would
come come back and slap the Cover
nor's face. In few days Boone tele-
graphed the Governor the District At
torney had saved his face slapping by
acknowledging Cleveland's statement
was true.
Last week Boone and his wife ap-
peared at the Executive chamber, and
the Governor granted them an audience.
The woman was In Ia state of great ner-
vous excitement, and attempted to
strike the Governor. He caught her by
the wrist, and said to her: MY dear
woman. you are beside yourself. Sit
down, and let as talk this matter over
reasonably" At that she threw herself
on the door, and screamed aud shouted
until she WAS removed from the build
ing. Boone and his wife have RENAME d
here ever since. and Boone has followed
the Governor back and forth from his
house 10 the Capitol. He has uttered
all manner of threats, TO sksot Cleve-
land, etc, and was regarded "a crank.
The wife has had several fits of hys-
terra, and attending physicians urged
Boone TO take her home, but he has re-
fused. Boone il in jail aud will be ex-
amined asto his sanity next Wednesday.
