NEW YORK, Dec. 28.-While eating
his dinner in the house of his faith er,
after whom the hamlet of Ramseys, ne ar
| Hackensack, N. j., is named, Detec-
tives Frink and Murphy of Inspector
Byrnes' staff, swooped down on David
H. Ramsey. They were assisted by a
| Bergen county constable named Ter
| williger, and the prisoner was taken TO
| the Hackensack Jail to await removal to
| this city. Application will bs made to
| Gov. Leon Albeit of New Jersey for
requisition papers.
| 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 goto the home of his
people, wealthy Presidents of the New
Je rsey hamlet, and laid his plans &C
cordingly. He proved correct and the
| prisoner was landed. Ramsey was
| greatly surprised and seemed broken
down over his arrest.
Mrs. Annie Ramsey, the prisoner
wife, lives at present at No AZ West
Twenty-seventh street. She lived with
her husband at Ramseys until they
quarreled. Then they separated only to
reunite. Finally the couple left each
other for good.
Ramsey accused his wife of unfaithful
conduct, and sued wealthy grocer in
the New Jersey village named George
A. Ryerson for $50, 600 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 fiji tn street and took in boarders.
Here she alleges her husband annoyed
her in an effort to get possession of the
boy, and had her footsteps constantly
logged 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 90 at o'clock, she was awaken
ed by a 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
revolver in and shot at her. His ain
was true and the bullet struck he r il
the breast. The wound was desperate
one, and for weeks it was not known
whether she would live or die.
When she had recovered ufficientl,
in the latter part of May, she went tc
Inspector Byrnes and appealed to hin
to run down her husband, as she feared
he would yet kill her.
When she was shot she said two mel
were with her husband. One of then
she said was boarder who claimed tina
his name was A. l.. Ball, and that h
was the manager of one of Miner
theatres. This man she believes to b

Inspector Byrnes sent Mrs. Ramse
to Justice McMahon and warrant wa!

ties, and in all of Their gave his address
