Mrs. Heintz the landlady, corroborated
the first part of Mrs. Boogar's statement
concerning her ejectment. but says she re-
manned in Boogar's room, and so did not
witness the further details. She states
that she found Mrs. Boogar lying at the

"and sent for doctor. She had fit,
foaming at the mouth, and went into vio-
lent Mysteries. She was badly bruised
about the head and neck and said that
Fooie and the others had kicked her,"
DR.. Nj. Neumann, who was summoned
to attend Mrs. Boogar. had her put to bed
and sent for trained nurse. He was
with her at midnight and said that his
patients condition was very serious
1.-TWO of her ribs on the left side are
broken" said the physician, land one rib
on the right side. The broken rib on the
right side is pressing into her lung and
she breathes with difficulty. This bruise
on the back of her head and that on her
forehead have been caused by kicks with
a heavy boot. A kick caused this big lump
on her neck and these bruises on her back
There are bad bruises about the region of
the stomach and her spine is injured
There are probably internal injuries, but
it is early to speak Of them positively.

nothing to what her sufferings will be by
tomorrow and next day. By that time
the bruises on her spine and about her
sides and stomach will be exceedingly
painful VIII her injuries prove fatal? l

and 1t Is impossible to predict the compli-
cations which may arise from these
bruises"
James Smith, whom Mrs. Boogar says
was one of her brutal assailants, at first
denied that any violence had been used
toward Mrs. Boogar. He stated that she
made no resistance to the order that she
should leave her husbands room; that
she walked away quietly, returning to Oak
land. Smith gave his name first Joseph
Williams, then as Tom Williams, but he
answered to the name of Smith when 80
addressed by Boogar's nurse.
Smith or Williams told story about his
having been violently assaulted by five
men at the door of the clearinghouse. in
the presence of two policemen. He said
his assalants Knocked him down and that
the policemen refused to interfere or to
arrest the men who bad attacked him.
He naively suggested that the story of the
attack on Mrs. Boobar was confused with
the assault upon him.
Mr.. Smith gave a second explanation of
Mrs. BOogar's eJectnent, which be said
was mad by man in citizens clothes
wearing police star. He said neither be
nor FOote were present during the eject
ment and that the only person who saw
her leave was the landady.
After much Interrogation. however,
Smith remembered that he bad seen Mrs.
Boogar walking downstairs. He said she
tripped and fell. owing. he suggested, to
the fact that she had been drinking. AS
Mr.. Smiths own condition suggested an
acquaintance with alcohol, this third ex-
