BALTIMORE, March Z. = Capt.
Glori gives his side of the existing
trouble with Fitzsimmons in about
the following words:
"Fitzsimmons and 1 realized before
the company was organized that if
he could force Champion James J.
Corbett to make a match with him
that would coin money for show
with which he was connected. When
the time came for signing the arti-
cles of agreement and putting up
the first stake deposit of $1,000, we
had cleared 1900 with our show al
ready, $3.50 of which, of course, was
mine, according to our partnership
agreement. l then SkirmiShed and
got a friend to advance us 81 900,
making the required sum for the
first deposit. The show continued
successfully and there was not much
trouble in gathering the second $500.
Meanwhile we reached st. Louis.
FitZsimmonS was throwing away all
the money we made in the most reck-
less fashion. He was spending from
He bought a diamond ring costing
$3.50 and clothes worth $3.50. To ag-
gravate matters he had himself in
teryiewed in several cities, and stat
ed that all of the money on deposit
with the stakeholder for his match
with Corbett was his alone. I spoke
to him about this and his eXtrava-
gance. Then it was that he turned
on me and used epithets that could
not but afford to notice. He wanted
me to break the agreement with him.
This l agreed to do if he would only
refund me the $3.50 which I had in
the original stake. l got the richest
cursing 1 ever heard for my pains.
Now comes statement of Fitzsim-
mons that he has dissolved the COM
pany, of which am halloween, and
formed new one, known as the
Martin Julian Speciality company.
This, 1 take it, is in contempt of the
is liable to make trouble for my ex-
friend from Australia
FitZsimmons is acting the part of
an migrate. For fourteen months,
when he was without a cent, 1
housed and fed him out of pure
pity for his condition, and after 1
advanced him the money to start
out on the road again he takes the
early opportunity, to throw me
down. But that is mot of concern to
the outside public ,,.
Fitzsimmons said: capt. Glori's
comments in reference to my en-
gagement to meet Corbett are be-
meath contempt, and need no reply.
In Buffalo a receiver was appointed,
Capt. Glori being notified of my de-
sire for a termination of our ar
rangement. The court declared that
Capt. Glori could not prevent my
playing for any one else, and that
he (GlorD would have to look to his
legal rights for damages if he suf-
fered any by reason of the contract
not being carried out.
'The organization did not mako
money each week with the excep-
ton of two, the proceeds being reg
ularly divided. These weeks when
we were short Mrs. Fitzsimmons.
from her own pocket, loaned the
concern money to meet the neces-
sary expenses. There is $3.50 of the
side bet which belongs to GIori.
OF this $500 was borrowed, and the
same has been paid back. On more
than one occasion L have offered to
repay Glori his $3.50, and if he will
call on my attorney in this city
this can be very readily arranged.
My contract with the Martin Julian
Speciality company is simply as a
performer. If he pays me my salary
weekly in advance 1 will perform
for him, but not otherwise.
THE articles which Glori says
purchased for myself and wife from
the proceeds of the show were paid
for out of my wife's income, and his
statement is absolutely false and
malicious"
