Jack NIcAuIifIe ReIehsed.


NEW YORK, Oct. l6.-Last spriug, when
the "Hole In the Ground" Company was
playing In San Francisco there was tumor
that the leading souDrette, Katie Hart, had
been quietly married TO Jack McAulitfs,
champion lightweight prize fighter of
America, and then In San Francisco to
fight Carroll. But as the story was persists
emily denied, especially by heAulilfs, and
as the latter continued to pay hor marked
attention, 1t was finally accepted thnt they
were only engaged. Ia September Katie
became the suubrstfe OF Dgnnelly Il
Girard's Natural Gas" Company, at a
salary OF S125 week, OF which she sent
her mother S75 week with unfailing tegu-
larity. Last week this Natural Gss" Com

Brooklyn. When Katie came she went TO
live with her mother.
oh Saturday night Jack McAuliffa called

and Katie started out for ride, despite the
rain, which was descending In torrents.
They went to the West Side Hotel, third
class resort at Sixth avenue and Fifteenth
street. Jack registered and took the key to
room 8 from the clerk, and he and she
went up to the psFlor and bedroom assigned
to them. As to what heppened afterwRrd
thele is no satisfactory Information.
The girl was found dead in the room
during the afternoon. McAulitIe disap-
peared for an hcur or two hunting for doc
tors, and later was arrested. There were
some contustons on her face, indicating
the girl had been baatsn. Deputy Coroner
Donlin made an autopsy yesterday. He
found thnt the supposed Commissions on the
face were eeusad by powerful restoradves,
