sharkey's Denial.

Sharkey testified in his own behalf in
Fitzsimmons' suit for possession of

that organization $4,000 or any other
sum. The first he saw of carp was
when he saw his name in the papers
before he went to Sausalito to see
Fitzsimmons. The sailor was positive
he had never talked to Lynch or any
body else about carp. He went into
the ring with no thought but to win a
fair fight. He still insists that the
knock out blow he received was a foul.

MRS. RAYS CASE.
She Makes Some Serious Charges
Against Her Husband.

She Makes Some Serious Charges
Against Her Husband.
Mrs Ray, who resides on F street, is a.
woman of matrimonial sorrows and ac-
quainted with domestic grief.
Last night, with a crying babe in her
arms, and with two small boys at her
heels, she went to police headquarters and
asked that her husband be arrested for
fornication.
Mrs. Ray, according to her story. has
been cruelty treated and neglected ever
since she had the misfortune to wed a
man. Her husband is an employee at a
laundry where he performs the office of
marking linen. Mrs. Ray has for long
time believed her husband to be faithless,
and last night she verified her suspicious.
Mrs. Ray is in constant dread of her
husband who she claims has i'll treated
her. On finding that her husband could
not be arrested and placed in cell with
out further evidence, Mrs. Ray returned
to her L street home and brought away
her three small children. She said she
would never return to his home again
Ray had small amount of money which
she had earned. and she finally secured a
lodging place for the night, with the as
SiStance of Sergeant Wire, at cheap
house on First South.
Mrs. Rays married life has been
checkered with poignant troubles for over
ten years. Six years ago she left her
husband, but finally returned to him after
a separation of four years. Mrs. Ray
threatens to begin a divorce suit within
the next few days.
Her charges were presented in due form
and may lead to an investigation as to
their foundation
