cision to Be Taken.

BERKELEY, June 23.-Attorneys Chap
man and Gift of Oakland and Judge
Edgar of the Berkeley Justice Court had
disagreement this morning over a point
of law in the case of Henry w. Vogt.

the case before the Superior Court for
review.
VOgt came up before Judge Edgar last
week on a charge of battery upon Patrick
O'Neill. O'Neill is over seventy-three
years of age. residing on Acton street.
To the satisfaction of the court it was
shown that Vogt had assaulted the old
man in a most cowardly manner and
Judge Edgar ordered him to appear for
sentence. AS Vogt failed to put in an
appearance on the date set Judge Edgar
declared his bail forfeited. His ATTORNEYS
filed notice of a motion asking that the
order be vacated and this morning thew
were present in court to argue in its be-
half Judge Edgar's denial of the motion
led to a long legal discussion, at the con-
clusion of which the Judge adhered to his
decision. Attorney Cliff entered an ex-
ception and declares that he will ask for
a writ of mandate.
