TO BE ARRESTED.
Mrs. Boogar's AssaiIants
Must Explain.
Attorney Knight VIII Charge NAL
vern NJ. Foote and Others With
Assault to Murder.

sol Post street, where Philip Boogar. the
Oakland capitalist lies at the point of
death. presented a scene of unusual quiet
yesterday in contrast to the fights and
quarrels that have occurred there turing
the past few days.
Mrs. Boogar occupies bed in a room on
another floor of the same house. The tn
iuries she received at the hands of the
persons who elected her from her hus-
bands room Tuesday night are very
serious, and her ultimate recovery is a
matter of grave doubt. DR.. Neumann is
in constant attendar &c and is doing every
thing possible TO relieve the woman's suf-
ferings. Her body is mass of bruises
considerable trouble. One rib on the
right side is very much shattered and
splnters of the bone have penetrated the
lung, making breathing difficult and pain
full.
George A. Knight. Mrs. Boogar's attor-
ney, visited his client Yesterday afternoon
and had long consultation with her. He
said the persons who elected her from her
husbands room and who dragged and
kicked her down two flights Of stairs were
NJ. Nj. Foota. James Smith, Jeiemia h
Sullivan and Herbert Choynski. He said
that he would obtain warrants for the
arrest of all these men on a charge of
their action of Tuesday night as brutal
and Infamous aud declared that they
should be made to suffer the full penalty
Of the law. The warrants will probably
be sworn out to-day.
Herbert Choynski came forward yester-
day and denied the statement that he had
slapped Mrs. BOogar'S face, as stated by
NUMBER of dislnterested witnesses, who
saw the whole disgraceful performance.
He also contradicted the admission of Mr..
Fo0te that the woman had to be removed
from the room by force. He said that she
was not touched in the room, but after
she got out in the ball she seized him and
pulled him down and then pulled Mr..
Foote down. Mrs. Boogar weighs about
10 pounds.
The other participants in the occur
rences of Tuesday night could not be
found around their, usual haunts yester-
day, though it was stated that Mr.. Foote
had visited Mr.. Boogar'S room early IN
the morning. Attorney Benson of Oak
lanh was also conspicuous by his absence
he having omitted paying his usual dai y
visit to his client yesterday The alleged
friends of Mr.. Boogar have suddenly be-
come as mum as oysters and are evidently
considerably frightened by the tragic out
come of their luminosity toward the old
mans wife.
Attorney NJ. W. Foote. in explanation
of the manner in which Mrs. Boogar was
been down to the old City Hall for the
purpose Of obtaining a warrant for the
arrest OF Mrs. BoOgar on charge of as
sault with intent to commit murder. but
were unable to obtain it. as the Prosecut-
ing Attorney was not in his Office.
when we returned to the room 1t be-
came necessary to remove the causes that
were aggravating to the dying man, as
DR.. Patterson had declared that the pres
ence OF these persons was an injury
to tie patient in his condition. So
we went upstairs with the landlady
and Mr.. Boogar requested his wife to
leave. and then requested the landlady TO
ask her TO go. Then / asked little pri-
vate detective, whose name is DodSon or
Dobson, what right he had in the room.
He said he did not have any, so / took
him by the back of the collar and led him
out of the room. and he got away.
Then Mrs. Boogar was asked to 20
and she LETT the room. but when she got to
the head of the stairs she wanted her hat
and satchel. The laDdlady brought out
these articles, but Mrs. Boogar threw
them at me, saying the satchel was not
hers. Then l went into the room and
brought out another one-a smaller one.
She screamed and was told to desist. but she
refused TO do this. She was ordered to
leave, and upon her refusal Mr.. Choynski,
who is a brother of the pugilist and him.
self an athlete, got alongside of Mrs.
her in such manner as to lift her off her
feet and carried her downstairs.
Some one called out that it was
a shame to carry woman in that way,
but that was the only way to carry her,
and there was no brutality on the part of
Mr.. Choynski. / followed them to the
foot of the second fight of stairs intend
ing 10 hand er her satchel, when sudden
ly she sprang upon me and seized my arm.
which astunisbed me so that / hardly
knew what to do.
THE next thing l knew Mrs, Boogar.
who was the maddest white woman I ever
saw. threw herself on the floor and went
into fit. None of us wished to drag her
away, so we left her.
1T was not the desire OF myself or any
of the others to injure her. and as she was
tresspaser we had. at the request of Mr..
Boogar, the right to remove her, and In so
doing no unnecessary force was used"
Mr.. FoOte stated further that he cannot
account for any bruises on Mrs. Boogar as
no one struck or kicked her, and that he is
of the opinion that the doctor who is in
attendance upon her Is mistaken in his
diagnosis of his patient. He also said that
II Mr.. Knight intended to have him arrest
ed for assault to murder he is ready to be
arrested. as he has no desire to shirk any
respo possibility. being conscious that he has
not committeQany crime.
