SAYS BROTHER-lN-LAW
HELD HER PRISONER
Forced His Attentions at the
Point of Revolver
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
SAN FRANCISCO May 19.-Mrs.
Marie Ray today secured a warrant
for the arrest of her husbands brother,
Wade H. Ray, on the charge of alb
duction. The woman declared to the
prosecuting attorney that some time
ago she found herself the object of her
brother-in-law's affections, but that,
despite her repulses, he continued to
enforce his attentions.
Last week, she said, he appeared at
her home, and, brandishing a revolver,
declared her to be his wife in the sight
of heaven. Under pain of death he
ordered the woman to accompany him
to his rooms, and Mrs. Ray, in terror,
complied, hoping that something would
intervene to save her. She alleges
that for six days Ray held her prisoner,
but that he finally relaxed his vigilance
and she made her escape. The police
are searching for the accused man who,
Mrs. Ray asserts, is insane.
