Talks About His Wife's UngOV-
ernable Temper.

New York, Sept. 15.-Another legal
milestone has been reached yesterday in
the record OF domestic differences be-
| tween Mr.. and Mrs. Kid Mccoy.
Mccoy, who has been in hiding to
avoid the service of papers and accom-
panyins arrest in his wifes suity surren-
dered to the sheriff. Bonds of IS, 600
were furnished by Morftz Brockman, a
liquor dealer of No. 354 East Sixtyninth
street, and Al T.. Barden, a real estate
agent, of No. 14S West Forty-eighth
street. Mccoy was then released
He was served with an order to ap-
pear on September II, and show cause
why he should not pay liberal alimony
TO his wife pending the divorce pro-
ceedings.
The pugilist then went to his lawyers
Office, where he denied over and over
the story that he had ''jobbed" the fight
with Corbett.
Then he denied the statement of Mrs.
Mccoy that he had taken her Jewels
and finally charged her with an attempt
to kill him. Incidentally he disclosed a
few trade secrets as to the prof1tS or
pugilism-
Why that woman lied, of course"
Mccoy said. Il will give thousand dol
lars each for every letter, telegram or
document to show that threw the fight
I know Harry Heinds of Cheyenne, who,
the woman says, was a party to the con-
spiracy.
"On the day of the fight my wife tele-
graphed him that I was feeling fine and
expected to win in ten rounds She sent
this with my Endorsement
Il know Eddie Burke. He is as square
a man as walks He bet very little
money on the fight and told me he be-
Heved that Corbett would win He would
be the last man to so into job of that
kind
THE whole business is the talk of
couple OF hysterical women. Just think
for instance, of my wife's charge that
the Choynsld fight was fixed If there
ever was a tougher fight than that in
this country never saw it.
THE statement that 1 made 100000
out of the fight is laughable. There
wasn't $4,000 bet on the fight from San
Francisco to Boston,
Mccoy began to recall figures. He
added:
I made $500 from my fight with
Maher- The receipts were $4,000. I got
$1,000 from the Sharkey fight The
Choynski fight netted me $2,60O-
I had to borrow 81 900 when I began
to train for my Sharkey fight. I bor-
rowed a like amount to train for the
Corbett fight, and borrowed the money
because 1 was broke I have lost money
steadily and in large amounts at book
making.
The statement. however, that my
wife is destitute is wrong. She has 800
a month from the sale of real estate I
gave to her.
Referring to their domestic life, Nc
Coy said:
that I gave her. On the day of the fight
she threw them at me Then she drew
a revolver from a pillow and snapped it
at me. Fortunately I had removed the
shells from the weapon. She has the
temper of a fiend.''
Mccoy denied with great emphasis his
wife's statements regarding Beulah
Cameron. He said he would remain in
New York and continue his saloon busi-
ness on Broadway.
Mrs Mccoy was not at her home at
No. 249 West Forty-fourth street yes
terday. The housekeeper said that she
had gone to Newark to get money from
her father for living expenses.
Mccoy appeared to attach much i'm
portance to his alleged discovery yester-
day that his wife's former husband had
secured a divorce from her.
4 always supposed it was the other
way" the kid" said.
