Their DOMESTIC Troubles.

Mrs. Philip Boogar, whose husband was
killed by her father, Michael Collins, about
difficulties arising in the Boogar house
hold, related her domestic infelicities be-
fore Judge Prick yesterday. She stated
that her husband had been preiudiced
against her by two attorneys whom he had
employed, and that in consequence OF their
representations he had quarreled with her
and made threats against her life.
She stated that Boogar had once knocked
her down and jumped on her, and had, on
frequent occas ions, said that he would cut
her heart out. Her father knew of these
matters and had been told that Boogar
had threatened to kill him if he came
around the house.
Mr.. Boogar was sometimes out of his
mind and violent, and wandered about the
house In a strange way. She had b ad him
arrested for trying to poison her with
rough on rats, and had several times been
frightened by him to such an extent as to
leave the house to escape his temper.
She had hired servants to be near her.
but her husband had driven them aH ay or
bribed them to leave.
Mrs. Boogar will resume her testimony
this morning.
To Ask for New Trial.
City Attorney Peirsol has given notice
that he will move for new trial in the
case of George z. Grant against the CITY of
Oakland. The suit was brought to recover
possession of a tract of land in East Oak
land, which the city claimed had been
dedicated as public park, but which was
held by plaintiff under a previous title and
Judgment was entered against the city.
The property in question is worth about
5000 and in case the City Attorneys
motion is denied the matter will probably
be taken to the Supreme Court.
