HIS WIFE'S FURNITURE
An Ex-Police officer and a Deputy
Constable Clash

8. o. Richardson, formerly police officer,
was arrested yesterday afternoon by De-
putty Constable Mugnemi on a charge of in
terfertng with an officer. The trouble was
the outcome of an attempt of Mugnemi 20
replevin some furniture which Mrs. Rich
ardson had partially paid for.
Mrs. Richardson conducts a lodging
house al las West Jefferson street, and pur-
chased some furniture from the Southern
California Furniture company. She still
owed s24.45. A suit was begun against her
in Justice Morrison's court yesterday and
a writ of repevin issued. Mugnemi went tc
serve this document. in company with the
driver for the furniture company. When
he reached the house Richardson met him
and said that Mrs. Richardson was not at
home. The officer replied that he was
armed with a legal document and he had
the right to serve the paper. Richardson
demurred and forced the officer out of tho
house. claiming that, as Mrs. Richardson
was absent the writ could not be served.
Mugnemi then said he would place Richard
son under arrest for interfering with an
officer.
Richardson, according TO the officer, re-
sisted, and they had tussle on the porch.
The driver took a hand in the fracas, and
Mrs. Marchant, a daughter of Richardson,
attacked the driver and gave him a severe
thrashing and scratching. On the other
hand. Richardson claims he did not strug-
gle hard and that Mrs. Marchant was
showed aside by tbs driver and her arm
badly bruised. Richardson was taken 70
the station and released during the evening
on bail. Deputy Constables Mugnemi and
Tom Quinn later returned TO complete serv-
ing the paper, but Mrs. Richardson paid
the Judgment and costs, and thus part of
the trouble IL settled
