Mrs. ScOfield Says 'Murder.o
SHE wRANGLEs WITH HER HUSBAND AND TRIES
HAVE HIN ARRESTED.


SHE wRANGLEs WITH HER HUSBAND AND TRIES TO
HAVE HIN ARRESTED.
The New York Herald to-day says: A man and
woman stood on the corner OF Broadway and 22d
streets at 10 O'Clock last night. They were having
hot dispute, and Policeman Brady was attracted
to the scene by the loud talking and Quarrelling.
The policeman was astonished on approaching the
couple by the woman, who, in loud tones accused
the man OF murder and said: "Oficer, l accuse
this man OF murder and want him arrested" The
policeman thought he had a big case, and took
the man and woman to the West 3Oth-street
station house. Sergeant Sheldon, who had the
desk, at once recognized the couple as Mr.. and
Mrs. Scofeld the hero and the heroine OF the
into the examination room and learned the fol-
lowing facts.
AFRAID OF HATCHs GHOST.
Mr.. and Mrs. Scofield had been together all day
arranging their financial AFFAIRS and at 22d street
Mrs ScOfield asked her husband TO 60 to the house
No. "a West Goth street, to spend the night Mr..
ScOneld objected, saying, ~ would not sleep in
that house for 81 900. Hatch'S ghost would walk
and brighten me 10 DEATH" Then the row re-
suited, and the policeman took the couple to the
station-hOuse. Mrs. ScUfield was slightly under
the influence OF liquor, which perhaps accounted
very communicative TO Sergeant Sheldon, whom
she looks upon as an old friend. Said She: 81
was fool TO marry an old man like Scofield; he
can't keep his mouth shut, and all he wants to do
Is TO eat" She said De Lancey Nicoll advised her
TO go back " her house and sleep, and she In
tended 70 follow this advice II she had to do 1t
alone.
