IL Lewis Greene or Louis Donahue, q
James McNally, the jockey in an al
lev near Canal street, Christmas night,
1896, the chances are that he will suffer
the consequence for he was arraigned
in the Sixth District Court this morning
on the charge OF assaulting Nellie Mo
ran, who, il is said, was in some way
connected with the fatality of thar even
ing. The facts of the present case are
as follows:
About seven weeks, ago, Greene, then
a driver for one of the express compan-
les In the city, went with Nellie Moran
into Hamilton yard. They both got
heating, and then left the city. 1be
Moran woman was then oblied to give
up her rooms and as she had no place TO
lay her head, she did not care to have
Greene arrested for she thought that she
was perhaps as much to tlame for the
fight as he was. Miss Moran's mother
came to her rescue. and said she would
give her home, providing she would
have Greene arrested. as soon as he put
in an appearance. Sooner than not have
a home Nellie complied with her moth
er's wishes, which resulted in Greene's
being in court this morning on a charge
of assaullipg Nellie Moran. lie pleaded
guilty ano was sent to the county jail for
20 1avs.
Nellie was at the city hall last evening
with a supper for Greene, but 1t got
mislaid. She was on hand again this
morning with another good meal for
hlm, which she entrusted to the care
of Warrant Officer Jones, who gave 1t TO
Greene, and the latter ate IL with rel
ism, for il was the last piece of stea k
that he Will get for go days.

has MADE her home with her mother,
Mrs. Mooty, 427 Broadway, Pawtucket,
and has been in communication with
Greene ut all times. He is taid to have
heen located at Central Falls, but this
fact cannot be su ubstantiated.
1t will be remembered by the readers of
The NEWS that on the evening of June
II there appeared story in relation TO
the McNally murder, wherein one of the
family made the remark that "As true as
there is God in Heaven, Greene killed
McNally."
II is supposed that all of the Moran
family, with the exception of Nellie, Will
DO their utmost to have Greene charged
with the murder of McNally, and the
police i'll do all that is possible.to to learn
the facts of the case.
1t is also said that when Greene was
beat ing Nellie. she made the remark,
"Greene, you'll never kill me as YOU did
McNslly." The arrest OF Greene will prob
ably settle whether Greene killed McNslly
or not.
Nellie Moran has had a career in which
there has not been wanting exciting ele-
mepts, for she was the wife OF Jack
MoraH, VINO shot policeman John Feely
On the night of July a, 1880. Moran died
afterward at the State prison.
The prisoner was arrested by o.Hcer
Andrew u. Martin on Canal street, within
a few feet from the spot where McNslly
was murdered on Christmas night.
