chldren-Pearl Grace and Ethel aged 12
and years respectivey-is awarded
TO the defendant until the further order
of the court, and Mr.. Boscow is directed
to pay her 50 a week for their maInte-
nance and support.
The domestic troubles of the Boscows
date back only a few months, at a time
when DR.. II. Anderson occupied rooms
at their residence in East Oakland
Rumors fioated about Mr.. Boscow's ears
10 the effect that his wife had become
enamored OF their star boarder As a
result the husband complained bitterly
TO his wife. A controversy followed. and
the wife threatened to sue for divorce
However, Dr. Anderson quilted his rooms
and moved to another part of town. Bos-
cow, who is manager of the Excelsior
Redwood Company, afterward created a
mild sensation by declaring openly that
his wife was under the hypnotic infiu-
ence exercised by Dr. Anderson, who later
was arrested on charge Of practicing
medicine without a license. At the doc
tors trial II developed that the only
medical treatment he had ever extended

was very Ill the doctor had bathed his
enemy's feet. Shortly after the contro-
versy the Boscows kissed and made nm
but their happiness was brief. and soon
the husband filed the divorce suit
