General Barnes Will Move to
Dismiss the Injunction
on the Coin.
IT WAS AN UNLAWFUL FIGHT.
PROCEEDINGS in the Sharkey.Fitzsim.
mons Case - Co onel Kowa sky
Refers to Earp's Howitz,r.

Wyatt carp yesterday exposed some OF
the fake methods employed by that sensa-
tional and utterly unreliable journal, the
"Long Green" Examiner, when he went
on the witness-stand and declared under
oath that he had never written anything
about the fight for that or any other news
paper and that he had never given re-
porter an interview.
1t will be remem bered that the Examiner
published what purported to be half
column statement from carp about the
fight over Earp's signature.
William Greer Harrison and others were
called to prove that the prize-hght between
Sharkey and Fitzsimmons was not prize
fight but gentemanly glove contest "for
points" some of the points" involving
broken ribs, smashed noses, blackened
eyes and the knocking of one of the gen.
| tlemanly contestants into a state of coma
guaranteed to last at least ten seconds.
General Barnes announced that on
| Thur sday morning he would move for
| dismissal OF the complaint and the injunc-
tion on the ground that the contest was
| fight for prize and not kindergarten
game.
One of the main bluffs made by Mr.. Bad
| Man carp during his examination was
| that Chief Clerk Clough of the Baldwin
Hotel would not testify that be, carp, had
called at the hotel the day after the battle
and had asked to see Fitzsimmons. carp
was particularly strong in his denial of
this point, just as he was in other points
| where he stands alone as against the
sworn testimony of many witnesses.
| But, in this Clough matter, the chief
clerk of the Baldwin gives carp the lie in
| way most unequivocal.
carp has been coming here almost
| daily for his mail" Mr.. Clongh stated last
night to an assemblage of attorneys and
newspaper men.
"The morning after the fight he came
| in, got some letters and kilograms and
asked me if Fitzsimmons was around.
The latter was in the cafe, and [ suggested
that he send him his card. carp did not
wish to do this, but came around a second
time asking if Mr.. Fitzsimmons had yet
come out. 1t was evident carp wanted to
see Fitzsimmons, but did not care to meet
him in the cafe. Finally he walked away"
This statement made by Mr.. Clough,
udD VI QuQueSllOncQ lAtSRE1tH1 anu q
hotel man OF most favorable renown for
| the past twenty years. stands now against
the denial of Wyatt carp, the gun-fghter
and border ruffian, the Dodyguard OF
Long Green" Andy. Lawrence.
Mr.. Clough is to make his sworn state
ment to the Commissioner IN regard to
this matter, and, at the outcome of the
whole matter, Wyatt carp will be brought
up with round turn by the Grand Jury
on an indictment for perjury.
The prosecution is particularly anxious
te see the Sharkey faction place "Dr." B.
B. Lee on the stand. This alleged physi-
clan is credited with having been either
paid or promised $1,000 for his services to
Sharkey.
Yesterday afternoon Attorney Kowal-
sky and Martin Julian were closeted with
Captain Lees of the detective force, to
whom they disclosed some of the evidence
they had against DR.. Lee. In return they
asked for the policies record Of Lee in the
matter OF Matheny, the associate OF
burglar killed in Oakland a couple of
years ago while robbing saloon. "Dr."
Lee came to the front, in that case and
tried to prove an alibi for Matheny, who
AlC CidlLncQ was WILL AliA III OduSdllLO Ou
the night of the Oakland tragedy.
In another case sDr." Lee again at
tempted to assist criminal with an alibi,
and again he was exposed.
Long Green's latest exploit in attempt
ing to browbeat the Tufts Lyons baseball
team of Los Angeles has aroused great
Indignation in Southern California. A
dis patch published elsewhere in this pa
per exposes the contemplate smallness of
soul and the petty meanness of the lead
ing spirit of the Examiner.
Manager Lynch resumed the stand yes
terday morning and was asked by Mr.
KowaIsky whether he had any special
privileges accorded him by the club. He
replied that he had not received any, ex-
cept such privileges IS were usually ac-
corded to the managers OF pugilists. He
explained further that when he took
charge of the door of the Pavilion he did
so at the request of Mr.. Groom of the ath-
letic club and acted as doorkeeper until
Sharkey arrived. This line of examina-
ton was as 10 Lynch's supposed connec-
ton with tie National Athletic Cub.
On the preceding day LSach swore that
the bet he had made on Sharkey was the
smallest he had ever made on prize
fight. Yesterday. in response to similar
question, e said that it was smaller bet
than any he had made before on Sharkey.
He admitted in answer to direct ques-
tion that he had pool ticket for $14O0 at
odds of $1,000 to $400 his wager being $400
on Sharkey, but that was nearly a week
before the fight. His money was placed
with Henry Harris.
The witness was asked as to the certif-
cate of deposit, and he,replied that it was
made PAYABLE to James Chesley, who in
dorsed it payable TO Wyatt carp. The
certificate was handed to carp in the ring
by Police Captain Whitman. Lynch was
positive that carp did not indorse the
certificate in the ring, and that it was in
dorsed at the eAnglo-CaIifornian Bank.
An important fact was drawn from the
