In the Mercer street precinct. The jury
found the woman guilty and Judge New

About a week ago District Attorney
Jerome received a communication from
the prisoner in which she stated that she
had Information to give against Police

To see the woman and TO him she told her
story. This was put In the shape OF an
affidavit and presented TO Judge New
burger, who had the prisoner brought
back 10 the Tombs.
TOLD TO LOOK HIM OVER.
According to Louise Gibson. Cain, whom
she had known for some time. told her
one night in March last that there was
a negro In the Raines law hotel, and that
she had better go and look him over.
The woman says she saw the sailor and
took $63 from him. She says the sailor
complained TO the policeman, but that
the latter refused to arrest her The
sailor then went TO the station house to
notify the sergeant. Word was sent TO
the patrolman to make the arrest

sailor was on his way to the station
house she handed the policeman the Ss3

tered.
Cain when seen by reporter denied
the charge made against him. He said
that he knew the woman because he had

SODEN OFFERED TO SELL OUT.
SpaIdinE Makes Public His Treason
to Freedman.


NEW YORK, Jan. l0--The much talked
of Boston letter" was made public to-
night by A G. Spalding, President of the
National League. together with the en-
tire correspondence that has passed be-
tween him and A. H. Soden since Decem-
ber II.
In the communication which Spalding
has withheld since receiving it Monday
Soden offers to sell the Boston club and
also his stock in the New York club,
proposition that does not SAVIOR of sincere
loyalty to Freedman. Brush. and Robson.
III order to have this letter suppressed
Soden substituted another. in which he
said merely that he was willing to await
the result of the court proceedings. and
asked Spalding to give this dummy out
TO the press.
dummy" letter than Soden conversed
with Freedman over the long-distance
telephone on Thursday. Incidentally
Spalding virtually reads ". H. Conant,
Soden's partner, out of the baseball po-
litical party, along with Brush, Freedman,
and Robson.
The significance of this proceeding
means that the Spalding clubs of the Ma
tional League are now going ahead with
the reorganization plan, which, when ef-
fected. will completely freeze out the
Freedman combine.
In his letter to Conant, Spalding quotes
from an interview given by Conant, inti-
mating that Spalding was a liar, and ex-
presses the belief that the virus o;
Freedmanism is so thoroughly inoculated
into your system that it is about time
your name be coupled with that of An
drew Freedman, as man unfit to legis-
late for the best interests of professional
baseball -
Conant, in reply, denied he had called
Spalding liar.
