NOT CLOVES WIFE
The Woman Who Claimed to BE Such
Confessed the Fraud

The Woman Who Claimed to Be Such
Confessed the Fraud.
CHICAGO, February 2.-The Times, this
morning, publishes long story Shich re-
wives the tragedy of January e. when
Charles Cloves killed his mistless and
himself in bagniO in this city. AZ that
time, a young woman, claiming be his
widow, came forward. She said he maid,
en- name was Lillian Kelsey, am that
the early part of her hfs had
been spent in small town
in Cuyahoga county, N. " where as's had
lived with her grandmother, and saught
school She claimed to have md and
married Cloves in New York City. The
Times says that since the tragedy ramors
have been current that this young woman
was never married to Cloves; that she
confessed this fact to bis mother end
agreed to compromise her claim on the
estate of the deceased, and further, mat
for some time previous to her messing
with Cloves she had been me'aeer
of the ballet in --a---Ae~ 'zork
theatre. With the view OF
ascertaining the truth or fslsity Of these
rumors e reporter called on Mr. Thomas
Fulton. an uncle of the young man, who
said Cloves had never intimated to him
that he was married; that on the contrary
he had denied report TO that effect which
had reached his mother. Mr.. Fulton then
said: / heard nothing more of the wlte's
story until / was summoned few hours
after the tragedy to the side of the dead
man, where was surprised to see girl who
claimed to be Cloves wife, | could
do nothing under the circumstances but
receive her into my family and treated her
with all due respect, for We had no proof
that she was not what she claimed.
Wednesday following the day OF the funeral
she acknowledged to Mrs. Loomis Cloves
mother and myself that she was not what
she pretended, Cloves wife. She stated
that she had lived with him as his wife in
various places, but that she had never been
married. There Is no truth whatever in
the story that she exhibited q marriage GER
tihcate shortly after the killing. | have
never heard that Cloves introduced the
woman as bis wife, or on any occasion |
acknowledged that he possessed wife.
In relation to the report that we or any of
his relatives have offered her one thou.
sand or any other sum TO relinquish all
claims, will say that such is not the case. |.
Why shorld We, when abe has declared |
substantially that she has no claim. We
have not seen or heard from her since she
made the statement to US that she was not
Cloves wife. Our relations with her are
perfectly friendly !
A call was also made at the residence of
Miss Kelseys aunt, where the young lady .
is at present stopping, but she could not be
seen. Her aunt, however, stated that she
believed the couple to have been married.
She admitted that Lillian had been on the
stage, both in New York and Chicago, for
q short time, in small parts, but ceased .
to appear on account OF the objections made
By Cloves.

olutions were introduced asking Congress
not to pass the bill there pending granting
permission for the erection of q bridge
over the Arthur XIII over which the Balti
more and Ohio road proposes to secure en-.
trance to New York harbor. The rssolutions
assert the doctrine Of States rights in the
matter ofgrantiDg the privilege OF building
bridges within the boundaries of New Jsr.
sey or upon its borders, claim that the
government has not jurisdiction except as
to military or post routes declares
that the claim that the proposed route is
mere suberterfuge and calls upon her sister
States to support New Jersey in protesting
against federal interference with her rights.
This matter came up for considera.
ton before the Senate to-day, and
led to sharp debate which occupied the
entire session. On behalf of the friends OF
the resolutions it was deemed it was per
fectly proper and was but a just assertion
OF the rights and dignity of the
State. On behalf Of the opposition
it was claimed that in asserting the
nonjurisdiction of Congress it was an in.
suit TO hat body; that it reasserted doc.
trine which the late war had decided
against; that the Federal Government had
jurisdiction in the matters Of inter.
State traffic; that the statutes
Of New Jersey in regard 10 the building Of
bridges applied only to foot and wagon
ways, and not at all to the railway bridges,
and finally that the resolutions were being
pushed at the behest of corporations mimi.
cal to the one seeking this franchise. The
resolutions were finally passed By vote Of
