Alone, in a loom ci outlet! with curi

advnnee with excuses, elenluK nnd
spoke tho bltteiest an.itheiiiues upon
her accusers.
The scene was made the more Im
pressive by the appeal nneo nf tho wo

mlddlo-aRed, and of the most pto
nuunceil type of beauty, Mr? Williams
won nt least admliers of her dofense
for her honoi, een If she did not make
them believe her Ktilltless. Three wo
men besides Mis. Williams weie ar
rested yesterday on the charge of shop
lifting, but these anests wcie uninter

case. She lives with her husband, a
well-to-do man, on Sevei'th street,

Mrs. Williams Is held In high esteem.
Her diameter seemed unimpeachable.
The family lies well and own a line

the central city suspected Mis. Wil

stealing. At numerous times ni tides

The book Is usually nri.tnseel In two
volumes About a year ago one of tho
volumes In a set at Heldlenmn's book

been In the store that da. A few
months ago the suspicions of the pro
prietor weie Increased when Mrs. "Wil

pi Ice of the remaining volume of the
book. So when the police weie going
the tounds of the stoics this week
the learned from Mr. lieldleman of
the disappearance of half of Tho Wnn
deiing Jew."
The pioprletor also mentioned the
name of the suspected woman At S.
G Keir's carpet store, on Lackawanna
avenue, Chief Kobllng, who peisonally
directed the cases against the .shop
lifters, was told of the disappearance
of a piece of tapestiy valued at $17.r.O.
This also was a pait of a &, t and the
name of the suspected woman was the
same as that of "The WandLiing Jew"
episode.
M01 cover, when the police leached
demons, Ferlier & O'Malley's china
store they weie asked to look for two
china dishes which had evidently been
stolen. This dim also remembered
that Mrs. Williams was In the stole at
the time.
Thus fortified, Chief Itoblltig and De

Perbcr, of the china stoie, and Mr.
Kerr, went to Mis. Williams' residence

tapestry had come from.
Slin SEIWED AVARNINC.
AA'hen the chief began to take the
fine fabric fiom its fastenings. Mrs.
Williams exclaimed: "Don't take that
down, don't, don't; that was put theie
by a drapler three years ago."
The goods were secured and a hear

last evening. At that time the office
was ciowded with people, all men ex
cept Mrs. Williams and the three other
women. Mis. AVllliams emend a
snappy plea of "not guilty." Chief
Holding then pioceeded to make a case.
Mr. lieldleman was sworn. He posi
tively Identified the book ns one w hleh
was in his stoie. He could tell l the
pilvate cost maik, and he stated that
there was no lecord of the book being

that the book was given to hoi by a
cousin, who Is now dead. Mr. Ken, of
the carpet firm, also Identified tho cur

because tho aitlcle was one of a set,
the other pait being 'now at the stoie.
Mrs. AVllliams said she was given the
tapestiy three yeais ago by a person
in Hlnghamton. Mr. Kerber also Iden

"Oh, that's all right," said Chief
Holding calmly; "we'll have this out In
court."
"Yes, wo will," retorted the woman,
her black eyes flashing; "I'll show to
you thnt I'm Innocent. Me a shop

I'm Innocent, I tell you!"
"I don't believe you are," paid Al

"Klg.'t hundred!" said Mis. AVllliams,
half ails'ng nnd looking at the alder
man with a sneer culling on her lip
"I'lght hun.lred; you nsk me can I

she exclnltnod fiercely, "If I weie a

"If, nnd theie was no law, I'd fix

She left with her husband, who said

Sir Wnltcr, one of the gnmost and
lionestest horses that ever eaineel
brackets, wns retired to the stud Tues
day after a campaign on the running
turf which 1ms few painllels. He will
be an elght-year-olel on .Inn. 1, so thnt
he leaves a racing lecoid behind him
extending over five years, nnd yet when
he left Morris Hark Tueselav he was
without scar or blemish. He was
shipped to Kentucky, nnd his destina
tion Is said to be the Hlmendorf stock
faun. This Is now the pieipeity of J.
Ii. Hngglii, who hied Sir Walter, and
who also owns his sire, Midlothian, so
that the Oneck Stable's pet should feel
at home. The hme has not been sedel,
nnd may be pulled out at some future
elate for nnother coup.
Sir AVnlter wns foaled In IS'iO at Hng
gln's stock farm, California He Is a
bay horse, with white points, by Imp.
Midlothian I,a Scnla He was pur
chased as a yearling by the Oneck
Stable, and piove'd a bread winner al
most from the ilr.st time he faced the
Hag ns a tvvn-year-olel. Ills Hist nota
ble win was in the Seaside Stakes nt
the Oravesend spring meeting. He
then went light along the line with
few bleaks, winning tho Oreat Ameri
can, the Oreat Hcllpse, the Atlantic,
nnd the Seabilght stakes.
As a tin ee-eai -old Sir AVnlter won
the Stockton and I.oilllaid stakes, and
a year later he was a piomlnent factor
In many of the big events, 1 mining
second In the All-Aged Special, and
winning the Iong Island Handicap.
The popular little sem of Midlothian
came out full of 1 mining for the cam
pulgn of '3), and finished thlid In the
llioeikljn Handle a!, third in the Man
hattan, thlid In the Flist Special, sec
ond la the Omnium, second In the Long
Island, and third In the Sheepsheael
Hay Handicap, with a lump of weight
up eveiy time. He also won the I'aik
wa Handicap in that eat
As a hlx-eai-edd Sir AVnlter leached
the climax of his fame by winning the
Hiookbn Handicap fiom a high-class
field. He also inn third In the' Metro
politan. Ills performances last season
showed that he still letained his stake
feu m. He tamed over all comeis In
big events at Saiatoga and tho Met
ropolitan Hacks and tow aid the end
of the seasem was among the eiy best
handicap hoises in training
"Mnnagor Hanhm of the ox-champion
Haltlmoies Is the lltst to make nitange
ments for a Southern tilp next spring,"
sajs. the New Yen k Sun "He will take
his playeis te either Thomnsvllle or
Macon, Gn., leaving home em .March 1,"
Hanhm is quite well satisfied over his
lecent deal In Hading De le, Holt,
and Amnio to AVashlngtou In exchange
for De MontiovIlK McJames, and Me
(lann. In speaking of It the noted
manager Mild.
"'I believe that the Hnltlmoies have

dium will be a big surprise. Whn he
was playing on Aithur It win's Toionto
team I watched his iccoid fiom day te
da, and then I wiote to Iiwln fen- his
opinion ef the man Irwin lecommend
ed him so highly that I was satisfied
to Include him In tho deal. Irwin sajs
McGnnn is the fusteist big man he has
e'ver sen, and that he Is a teulllc
hitter, having an ability te whip the
ball into either lett or light flelel as the
occasion may call fen As Irwin Is one
of the best Judges of plaeis In the
countiy, I feel sine of Mefiann's suc
cess. He Montreville at seconel bsn-o
will strengthen us In batting, base tun
ning, and even fielding, for while ho
will make more errors than Heltz, he
will cover more giound nnd will prove
faster In double plas,
"As for McJnmes, I believe he will be
of gioat assistance to us. Wo have a
pretty clever pitching corps In Corbett,
Hoffer, Xops, AIeJnmen, Pond. Hughes,
and Kltson. Hughes Is nlso a clever
all-mound plaer, nnd Is quite n hit
ter. Robinson. Clarke and How ei man

Dan Cieedou Is still vvondeilng how
McCoy knocked him down In that mem-o:-?ble
fifteenth lounel at Long Islaml
City, The AUbtinllan said the othel
dav:
"How he did It Is beyond me It must
have hem a stiff left, but 1 won't bet
on it. In tho tlfth loitnd he hit. 111.
on the light eye, and I had n beaulv
in the menning. Fremi that time on I
was all at sea. The blood filled m
eyes and I couldn't bee. Then he kept
pegging away until In the fifteenth
lound he knocked me down The blow
cmne so fust that I didn't see It I
wasn't knocked out, but I wns fairly
beaten when my seconds thiew up the
sponge. Kltzslinmons Is the only man
w ho ever put me te sleep, and ho did
It propel ly. I'm going to rest u while
nnd then ask McCo for another light.
AVe agieeel before tlu battle that tho
winner should meet the loser again,
and I know McCoy will stick to his
piomlse. I see that a stoty Is going
the lounds that McCoy hid rosin on
his gloves. If that was so It cut no
Ice In tho lesult. for I was benten on
the level "
The burning of the Chicago Coliseum
depilves the spin ting public of the
largest amphltheatic In the countiy.
TMie building was so big that It was
possible to lay a four-lap track for
nthletle events and a six-lap bunked
Hack for wheel laces. It had been the
custom to play some of tho big foot
ball Dimes In the building, and It Is
said that us many as 25,000 pet sons
saw the Cni lisle Indians play n local
team somo time ago. The Coliseum
was twice the size of tho Madison
Square Gulden.
Chris A'on tier Ahe announced the
other day that he had got enough
money together to tldo him over u
crisis and would not sell out. In talk
ing of the make-up of his team ho
states that Clements, Clifford and Sug-
den will do the cntchlnir for pltchcrw
Taylor, Sudhoff, Daniels, Hughey, Cole
man nnd Carsey. AVIth Lnlly, Crooks,
Cross and Donnelly In the field nnd
such outfielders ns Dowel, Hnrley, Tur
ner, Genius nnd Holmes, Chi Is argues,
that he will have a gieat team. Ho
also threatens to buy tho releases of
11 couple of stars, nil of which Is taken
to mean that he is trying to sell out
eventuully nt 11 good pi Ice. Neaily nil
of the leactle men say that A'on elcr
Ahe has lencheel the end of his rope
and will get out of base ball before
next season begins.
With reference to Fltzslmtuons' stnte-ir-ent
thnt he will defend the title of
champion, but will not meet Corbett
until the latter defeats Manor, Shnr
koy or some other u.splrniit for cham
pionship honois, Jim Coibett says: "I
believe that today I stand In the eyes
of the sporting world ns a champion
riefenteil by mere nce-Ident only, nnd by
no means depilved of my right to de
mand of the piesent champion another
t"st of nur lospectlve merits. I could
gain nothing by defeating McCoy, Ma
iler, Shatkey or nnnno but Kltzslm
mons. if 1 weie tei bent nil but him,
I would slmplv be adding to his repu
tation, not my own, nnd remain where
I am now, second te Fltzslminons. I
will say here and now, that If I de
feat Flt7slmmeins at our next meeting,
I will meet any man In tho world whom
the public think worthy of my recog
nttion. My ambition Is to fight again
for the championship I believe I can
defeat Fltzslminons nnd he Is the only
man I will now engage to meet. After
him, come who will."
There Is p possibility that the Out
tenburg tace trade may not be solel
nfter all, and that tho famous track
may bo reopened and racing resumed.
When the antl-gambllng amendment
wns oassed iccently the directors of
the Hudson Countv Jockey club about
decided to dispose of the property, but
at a meeting held In Meyer's hotel,
Hoboken, on Tuesdav, It was agieeel
that the matter should be held In abey
ance until the question of the consti
tutionality has been finally decided. It
was Intended to cut the property up
Intei building lots, It being considered
that such a Plan would he a good In
vestment. Now, however, the- plan has
been laid over for the piesent.
The beads of the different stnte
boatds In tho L. A. AV. have discovered
the need of some changes In division
lacing legulatlons. A. D. AValte, chair
man eif the New Yoik division boaid,
expi esses his belief that the state
should lie divided Into live districts,
the memlei.s eif the board bo Inci eased
fiom three te five, nnd each member
tei assume chatfo of a pioportlonate

cates that the- sanction fee for state
cltcult meets be Increaseel fiom ? to
$10, one-half of which should be de
voted to the conduct of the division

make state bo' as self-supporting.
