MRS. GEORGE SHRADY CALLS.
DECIDES TO REORGANIZE A HUS-
BANDS HOUSEHOLD.
First, Two Women in O Hand to Hair En-
counter, Then Two Men at F1sticufIs,
Finally Two Policemen. and Three
Prisoners whom the Sergeant Frees.

Mrs. George shrady returned yesterday
evening to the home Of her husband. at
DAILY and Boston avenues, The Bronx which
she had not visited before for three years.
Shrady was out, and Mrs. Shrady marched
in and upstairs, where she found Miss Ella
Tucker. Mrs. Shrady, according to Miss
Tucker, seized Miss Tucker by the hair.
Miss Tucker resisted, but Mrs. Shrady
pulled her to the top Of the stairs and the
two fell down the fight. Neighbors heard
the noise and took word to the Kingsbridge
police station, block away, and two police
men we're sent over on the jump.
Before they got there Shrady himself
had got home. The women had worked
their way out to the front lawn, and Shrady
jumped in to protect Miss Tucker. A man
leaped into the yard and attacked Shrady.
This was the state Of affairs when the police
arrived, the two men in one fight and the
women still in their own Explanations
were incoherAnt, and the policemen de-
cided to take all four to the station.
The unnamed man went part way, and then
escaped.
The three others were lined up before
Sergt. McCoffey at the desk. He couldn't
straighten it out.
DO you know this womanf' he asked
Shrady. pointing to the woman who had
returned to the Shrady house.
Il don't know her, was the prompt reply.
DO you know this MANI McCoffey then
asked the woman.
Il do" she exclaimed. He is my lawful
husband, and I have come to my home. and
I'm going to stay there"
The sergeant gave it up, let them all go
and suggested a police court.
Shrady says that his wife came to the
house with the man who attacked him in
the fight.
Shrady then barred the doors Of his
house against his wife, who insisted that
she was going to stay there She still
insists that she Is going to stay there and
says that she will take the matter into the
courts this morning.
Shrady lives upon the income of the
Shrady estate, which, at the time he in
herited one-half Of it, the other half going
to brother. was said to be worth 100000.
The affairs Of George Shrady and his
wife were In the courts in 1897. Shrady
first sued for annulment OF the marriage,
and this was refused. A suit for absolute
divorce followed. The final decree was
handed down by Justice Parker on Oct. 10,
1897, and was to the effect that neither
could have q divorce, but that Shrady
must support bis wife.
