Two Men Fight a Duel with Knives
ON the Street.

A bloody duel with knives occurred in
front of No. 105 West Thirty second
street. New York, about two o'clock yes
terday morning. The house is the abode
of Madame Angel, whose name would
not give the correct clue to her calling.
She was playing solitaire and some of
her girls were drinking beer in the late,
OF rather early, hours, when man who
now says that he is Edward Brown, of No.
434 West Thirty fourth street, entered
and wanted to treat the girls. lie. pro-
duced q quarter for that purpose. and was
informed that it was not enough.
quarrel ensued, and he struck Mad
anne Angel in the back, and then drew a
long knife, which he waved alOft. The
girls shrieked, Jack the Ripper!' and
Madame Angel carried her 300 pounds OF
flesh very rapidly down the basement
stairs and out into the street,
There she met a tall, well-dressed man,
who claims the name of James Mulligan,
and residence at No. 1896 Ninth avenue.
She told Mullgan that she was In search
of a detective, and he promptly claimed
to be one. He accompanied her into tho
house and jerked Mr.. Brown out upon
the sidewalk. There both drew knives
and used them savagely. Brown cut
Mulligan in the neck and received a blow
in the wrist which nearly cut his hand
off. He staggered off toward Seventh
avenue and was eventually taken to the
New York Hospital by the police OF the
Nineteenth precinct.
Mulligan ran up to Madame Angels
door and got one of her girls to call Q cab.
He was driven to the New York Hospi-
tai, and bled nearly to death on the way,

every endeavor to hide his real name and
keep the facts in the case from the
public.
She Loved Baseba1list Crane.
Mrs. Hattie Frauenfelter, the pretty
wife of Scranton, Pa, fruit dealer, tells
romantic story to account for her elope-
ment with Baseball Player Crane. She
says that ller husband is scoundrel; that
he was bankrupt when she married him
and put her money in his business, which
she afterward ran In his own name, and
that he repaid her with cruelty and ne
glect. They were very unhappy. He
beat her and intrigued notoriously with
other women.
A year ago Crane came upon the scene
and learned to know the family. He
svmpathized with Mrs. Frauenfelter In
her troubles She it was, so she claims,
who persuaded him to meet her in this
city. She ran away, not with him if to
him, but alone, taking of her own what
she did take along. She never gave him
a dollar and assumes the whole respon-
sibility herself.
According to her own story Mrs.
Frauenfelter's married experience has
been both wide and varied despite her
twenty-eight years. She was the wife of
DR.. Lockerson of Freehold, N. j., before
she was eighteen and lived with him
happily eight years, bearing him four
children. All but one, as well as her first
husband, are dead. A widow of only a
year, she married the Scranton party,
whom she cast off for the baseball player.
Her one living child by the doctor, she
says, was SO cruelly treated by its step
father that she had to send it away to
strangers to be cared for, A and with u
girl, who were left behind in Pennsylya-
mia, were the fruit of the Scranton mar
riage.
The alleged elopement took place ON
June 20, this year. The deserted trauen-
felter began suit for divorce, but learning
that under the laws of Pennsylvania he
could wreak his vengeance on the couple
more effectually, took the course that re-
suited in their arrest. They will be held
in New York to await extradition to the
Pennsylvania authorities.
