At her apartments in the Nadeau at
$50 yesterday morning Detective Good
man arrested Mrs. A. G. Delisle on
warrant issued on a complaint sworn
to on Tuesday evening by Mrs. Louisa
Smith, charging Mrs. Delisle with
threatening to kill her on two different
occasions on Sunday night last. Mrs.
Smith had been accused by Mrs. Delisle
of having stolen $500 in gold from her,
and it was in connection with the wran-
gle over the matter that the two women
met in The Herald editorial rooms on
widely different errands.
Mrs. Smith first appeared and was
extremely anxious to know whether or
not Mrs. Delisle had made an endeavor
to have the circumstances of the al
legged robbery made public. While she
was engaged in conversation with re-
porter, Mrs. Delisle appeared in the
doorway, but suddenly stopped short
with an exclamation on seeing Mrs.
Smith seated at desk. Then the wrath
of the injured woman burst it's bounds
and she rushed forward, denouncing
Mrs. Smith as thief. The latter rose
and started for the door and was fol-
lowed by the angry woman, who in her
excitement threatened Mrs. Smith with
annihilation, and declared that she
would have her money back or spend
$1,000 to prosecute the alleged thief.
The threatened personal encounter
was prevented, and Mrs. Smith fastened
to her carriage and was driven to the
Times office, where she entered. Mrs.
Delisle also made for the same place,
not knowing that the other woman was
there. The pair met again in the edit
orial rooms of that paper, and a scene
similar to that enacted at The Herald
ensued. 1t is upon the statements made
by Mrs. Delsle that evening that Mrs.
Smith bases her complaint.
When the detectives served the war
rant upon her Mrs. Delisle signifed her
willingness to go with him to court, and
stated that she had been expecting his
call. having been Informed the evening
previously by Herald reporter that the
warrant had been issued and on what
grounds. She was also perfectly willing
to be locked up, but after arriving at
| headquarters changed her mind and be-
gan to think about giving bail or bonds.
1t being a legal holiday the courts were
not in session and the banks were closed.
The warrant fixed the required bond at
$1,000. but Mrs. Delisle could not get into
the safe deposit vaults to procure the
necessary cash.
While a search was being made for
some of the officers of the Farmers and
Merchants bank, Mrs. Delisle sat in the
detectives room. and. the desired par
| ties not being found, she was permitted
| to return to her rooms in the Nadeau,
Mrs. Gray. the police matron, accom-
! panying her. Later in the afternoon
! Mr. Fleishman was found and furnished
! the requisite security to insure Mrs. De-
| isles appearance in court today.
The case will be called in Justice Nor
risons court, and nothing more than to
| fix date for examination will be done
| today. Until the examination matters
will probably remain quiescent. unless
| the arrival of Mr.. Delisle. who is expect
| ed in the city within day or two, should
| precipitate some retaliatory action on
| the part of himself or wife.
