Coy refuses to emulate the example
of Mrs Corbett and will not take back
what she said about the Corbett-Mc-
Coy night.
She denies that reconciliation has
taken place between her husband and
herself. and is determined to maintain
her position and stand by what she
has alreauy said. She said: Il can
prove my statements about the fight
My brother was in this house at the
time the affair was fixed up. and he
went out and telegraphed friends in
New York to bet on Corbett. He
knew as | did that the fight was a
prearranged and when my husband
came home from the fight he told me
that when he went at Corbett i'll the
first two rounds -orbett was distress
ed.

his due. and will say mat he can lick

can't go any further. | am winded ana
you must lay down Now that know
of my own personal knowledge.
When Mrs. Corbett says she re
tracts her statements about the fight
being fake she is simply allowing her
affection for ner husband to run away
with her discretion. She knows as
well as | do that the fight was fixed.
She has no backbone or she would not
allow the man to come back and get
her to accept his story.

Standard Oil trust. He is a graduate
of Yale. but will begin at the foot of
the ladder. He is very fond of sports

a start from no capital his sons shall
fail to realize the value that earning
money gives to it's possession. Young
Rockefeller is engaged to be married
to Miss Isabel Stillman. and it is
thought that his marriage will be an
incentive necessary to turn his ener
gies to business.
