Wife Asslsts In the Murder Of
Mer musLand.
PoKTLASD, Jan. lO.-The preliminary
examination Of William Bloxham and
Mrs. Mary Fisher, charged with the
killing OF Jacob Fisher, the latter's
divorced husband, began to-day. The
frat reports OF the homicide made it ap.
pear almost in self-defenss on the part
Of BloxhAm. The evidence was given
before the Examining Magistrate o-night
showing that BloxhAm and Mrs Fisher
had frequently threatened the old mans
life. One witness testified that he heard
the two talking under bis window few
nights ago, when BloxhAm said to Mrs.
Fisher. "If You do not go up and kill
the s--- b. tonight, I'll do it
myself." The prosecution expects to
make out case Of mnrler in the first
degree, and show that they provoked
the quarrel 20 as to bring about an op-
portnnity for Bloxham 70 kill the old
man. Bloxham has had bad reputa-
ton, and came here from San Jose,
where. he was known as "Big-mouth
Bill"
