CAUGHT A JAY
A Husband Gashed While Playing
Detective on His Wife

! On May 18th the divorce suit of Frank
A. Jay vs.. Emma Jay was up for trial
before Judge York. The plaintiff charg-
ed that his wife had been living in adul-
terry at the Florence. on S. Main street
claimed that her husband had been too
intimate with a pretty young widow,
who resides on East Twenty seventh
street. The evidence on either side was
somewhat indefinite, and SO no relief was
granted to either party.
On Saturday evening last, however,
Mr. Jay gained knowledge that his wife
was in a certain room at the Florence
with male companion. Accompanied
by a friend and an officer he determined
to gain the corroborative evidence de.
manded by the court. A messenger boy
was dispatched to the Florence with a
note for Mrs. Jay, and the husband and
his companions followed closely behind
In answer to the knock of the boy upon
the door Mrs. Jay replied that she did
not want any message at that time Of
night-it was nearly l o'clock in the
morning-but finally told the boy to
shove the message under the door. The
youngster replied that he couldn't do
that as he must have receipt. Mrs
Jay then opened the door to receive the
message, and the woman's husband
dashed against the door and entered the
room.
He didn't take his wife altogether
unawares, however, for as he sprang
past her she raised her hand and with O.
knife she held gashed him across the
side of the forehead. For about five
minutes pandemonium reigned The
men closed in upon Mrs. Jay. who was
furious at being trapped, and wrested
the knife from her Her companion
made double quick time from the prem
ises, making his escape unmolested.
Along the dim corridors ghost
ly figures hurried, in their anxiety to
know who was being murdered. Calm
was finally restored, and when Mr. Jays
wound was examined it was found not to
be at all dangerous. Meantime he has
the call on his wife when the divorce
suit looms up again.
In her own behalf Mrs. Jay states
that she had been out with her male
companion to a restaurant, and, having
partaken of supper. started toward her
lodging house, arriving a little after /
a. m. Something she had eaten made
her feel quite i'll, and when her COM
panion prepared to leave her at the
door, she requested his assistance to her
room, which was granted. When her
husband burst in, few moments later.
she was attired in a wrapper. The room
was undisturbed, the bed in perfect or
der, and her friend was but remaining
a few moments with her until she should
