HER CHILD IS CARED FOR.

bnnd's Ante-Divorcc Allegations.
The argument of the temporary order
granted to Henry Bachrach. the insur-
"nce agent, connected with the Equita-
BILE Life Insurance Company, to show
cause why he should not be allowed the
custody OF his child, Henry Bachrach,
jr.. pending an action for divorce brought
against his wife, was heard before Judge
Freedman, in the Superior Court, this
morning.
In mis- complaint. Mr.. Bachrach al
legged that the child. which was sickly.
was not receiving proper medical attend
ancc and care. and was without proper
nourishmert.
He had tried to have several physicians
see the child, but his wife would not
allow them to enter the house. He also
alleged that his wife was poisoning the
child's mind against him, and teaching
his boy to call another man papa"
This was absolutely denied in argu-
mcnt this morning. Mrs. B~achrach, a
handsome brunette, was in court, and
produced aifidavits Of several ~well-known
physicians that they had attended the
child.
MI. and Mrs. Taylor. her parents. also
made a~ffidavits to the effect that he
child was well cared for.

SLOGGER HALL HAD NO DEFENSE.
Held to Answer for Assault to Murder
Sarah Nathan.
Testimony of Witnesses Who Saw Him
Knock Her Down and Beat
Her With a Club.

After the minor cases were disposed of
in the Police Court yesterday the exam
ination of "Bill" Hall, the pugilistic
negro. charged with intent to murder
woman named Sarah Nathan, was taken
up.
Sarah testified that she met Hall last
Friday night on Eleventh street, and ac-
companied him to the merry-go-round
down on Fourth street. After they de-
parted from the latter place Hall insisted
upon going home with her, but she OBJ
jected, and then Hall upbraided her for
speaking to certain white persons.
Becoming angered at her replies, he
knocked her down with cobblestone.
and not being satisfied with that, he
picked up a long stick of wood from the
street and belabored her so that she be-
came insensible.
"Chick" Dorsey, a young negress and
friend of the complaining witness, testi-
fed to nearly the same facts.
Johnny Bangs bartender, testified
that he saw the Nathan woman PROSTATE
on the ground. and when about to pick
her up he was warned by Hall not to do
so. Hall said he did not care if the
woman was dead; and, so far as he was
concerned, he was willing to be hanged
on the spot.
Special Officer Warner testified to hav-
ing arrived at the scene of the assault
after Hall struck the woman, and assisted
in arresting him.
James McCourt, proprietor of saloon
at Fourth and l. streets, testified that he
heard the screams of a woman and the
sounds of blows being struck, and on
going on the outside of his saloon he saw
the Nathan woman on the ground.
II. +. Greer testified that on hearing
the screams of woman in the vicinity of
Fourth and l. streets he proceeded to in
vestigate. On arriving on the scene he
saw Hail strike the woman number of
times with long club, at the same time
kicking her while she lay on the ground.
Greer also testified that Hall, during
the time he was beating the woman, re-
marked that he would kill her.
DIR. Fowler, the City Physician, testi-
fed to having treated the Nathan woman
at the Receiving Hospital, and to the
probability of her wounds having been
inflicted by the piece OF wood offered in
evidence.
Hall made no statement on his own be-
half, and he was held to answer before
the Superior Court for trial, with bail
fixed at 81 200.

ALLEGATIONS DENIED.
Spieker and His Associates Reply to
V. j. Gregory's Complaint.

V. j. Gregory's Complaint.
In the case of V. J. Gregory against J.
J. Spieker, Mary E. Ackley, w. D.
Joiner, D. E. Alexander, C. A. Spieker
and w. J. Dunno. the defendants, by
their attorney, Isaac Joseph, have filed a
demurrer to the complaint. 1t alleges a
misjoinder of defendants among other
grounds.
They have also filed a motion for a
change of venue from this county to San
Francisco; also, notice of a motion to
strike out most of the complaint.
This is the case in which Gregory al
legged, on information and belief that
about the 3lst of March, 1893, defendant
Spieker, anticipating a judgment against
himself in the case in which the plaintiff
had sued him, transferred to the other
defendants, under the name of the Lash's
Bitters Company, the plant of the
"Homer's Kidney and Liver Cure" and
the 'Lash's Kidney and Liver Bitters,"
worth So 900; that this was done without
consideration and for the purpose OF de-
feating plaintiff in the collection of his
demand.
The plaintiff further alleged on inform
alton and belief that Spieker was the real
owner of the capital stock in the new
company. He therefore asked for the
transfer of said stock from Spieker to the
other defendants be declared null and
void, and that the plaintiff be paid the
amount of his judgment against Spieker
for S5l, ,S72, with interest thereon from
September, 1898, until paid, and for costs
of suit.
