after whom the hamlet Of Ramseys, ne ar
Hackensack, N. j., is named, Detec-
tives Frink and Murphy of Inspector

Inspector Byrnes has wanted Ramsey
ever since last May. Detectives Frink
and Murphy were detailed to find him
at that time, but could not locate him.
The Chief Inspector then had an idea
Ramsey might got to the home Of his
people, wealthy Presidents of the New
Jer rsey hamlet, and laid his plans ac-
cordingly. He proved correct and the
prisoner was landed. Ramsey was
greatly surprised and seemed broken
down over his arrest.
Mrs. Annie Ramsey, the prisoners
wife, lives at present at No. As West
Twenty street. She lived with
her husband ut Ramseys until they
quareled. Then they separated only to
reuuite Finally tine couple left, each
other for good.
Ramsey accused his wife Of unfa hful
conduct, and sued a wealthy groC y in
the New Jersey village named Geo ye
A. Ryerson for $50, 900 on the ground Of
alternating Mrs. Ramsey's affections.
The wife with her eight-year- old son
then came to this city.
She hired the house at No. III West
Forty filth street and took in bourders.
Here she alleges her husband annoyed
her in an effort to get possession of the
boy, and had her footsteps constantly
dogged by private detectives.
Mrs Ramsey slept in an extension Off
the parlor. The door leading TO this
extension is in the parlor and is princi-
pally of glass On the morning of
April 2O at 1 o'clock, she was awaken
cd by knock on the door. When she
asked who it was the voice of her hus.
band answered, demanding that she let
him in.
When she refused the glass was broken
and her husband, as she charges, put a
revolver in and shot at her. His aim
was true and the bullet struck he in
| the breast. The wound was q desperate
one, aud for weeks it was not known
! whether she would live or die.
When she had recovered sufficiently
in the latter part of May, she went to
| Inspector Byrnes and appealed TO him
to run down her husband, as she feared
he would yet kill her.
When she was shot she said two men
were with her husband. One of them
she said was boarder who claimed that
his name was A. L. Ball, and that he
was tho manager of one of Miner
theatres This man she believes to be
Que Williams a private detective, who
came to the house to spy on her actions.
Bali, or Williams, has since disappeared
and cannot be found.
Inspector Byrnes sent Mrs. Ramsey
to Justice Mcmahon and warrant was
issued. Armed with this the detectives
started out on their hunt. They learned
that Ramsey belonged to several socie'
ties, and in all Of them gave his address
as No. GOA Summer street, Brooklyn.
lie had lived there, but after the shoot
ing left, and has been in hiding ever
since. An indictment against him hal
also been found, and he will probably
be brought TO this city Monday.
