coNsIDINE SAYS FAKE.

.. George K. Considineg former man. eagr of James J. Corbett, who arrived from England a short time ago, mas stated since his return that he would issue a statement regarding the Cor bett- -AIcGoy eba tile dt. was understood that Considine and the former cham pion were on good terms, but the 1ol- lowing communication from Considlne proves that they do not speak as they pass by:
 -,. .. "New York, Nov 2, 1900.
 ssI was in London and did not intend coming home for several months, but met Mccoy in that city, and to my sur prise was informed by him that he had come over to England because of the down town people in New York, who, he said, were sore on him on ac- count of his fight with Corbett Me Coy also made the statement that they the downtown people-had never done anything for him and that he had the right to get the money any way he could. And he got it, he added, by laying down to Corbett. as per agree ment. He also informed me that near r ly every one in New York believed that I was in on the scheme. When he told me this 1 was amazed, and i'm mediately left for New York.
 son my arrival in New York and be- fore making any statement, l called on Corbett and accused him of having q part in the fake fight. This he de nied, but 1 caught him in several mis- statements and proved, through wit nesseS present at the interview one Of them He then admitted that he knew that Mccoy was going to lie down. | and l said to him: why didn't you tell me of it, instead of making monkey of me-? To which he replied: What | for, so you could tell Sullivan, who would make Mccoy fight on the level, | as you did in the McCoy-MGher fight? 1 dnst know that I could lick Mccoy | on the level, and 1 was glad to know that he was going to lay down.
 "Now, in view of these circum- | stances, I don't intend to stand for anything for him. On account of Cor | bett's wife was willing that Corbett | should shift the blame for that busi- ness of the Cornille woman on the steamer on me, as l was an unmarried man and better able to shoulder the ! scandal than he was. I never saw this woman until I met her at Cor | bettS training quarters at Bath Beach, | and it was q great surprise to me when I discovered she was on the same steamer with us. 1 had decided to | ldhe tue tIlp to LOnuOu because GOT bett had been begging me for over q week to go with him, as he wanted to leave his wife, one of his reasons being a remark she had made to him when he was leaving the house the night of the fight with Mccoy, when she told him that she hoped Mccoy would hit him and kill him. Corbett told me that Miss Cornille was to leave on a steamer a week later than the one we | took.
 As for Corbett's statement about his not knowing where he was until he was two days out to sea, he knows and l can prove it by reputable wit nesses who saw Us off-perfectly well that he was aware of what he was doing and where he was going all the 1 time. do not care to bring into this matter the names of these people, but shall do so if Gorbett denies this DOT t1on of my statement.
 Il would not make this statement al all but for the ufact that in clearine myself l also show that I was entitled to the friendship of every one whose good will I enjoyed before this took place, and I sincerely hope that the public will look at my statement ir
 the same light. Yours truly,
 "GEORGE F. CONSIDINE"
