orders-ActiOn in the YaIesvilIe Ac-
eident Case.

report and finding in regard to the
killing of three laborers on a work
train at Cedar Hill early last week, and

ties We're delegated to Thomas Tobin,

either case, Devine is under bonds at
present.

the following witnesses; Frank ].

]. Casey, IS West street; Thomas II.
Tobin, SO Plymouth street; Frank R.

OAKLAND, Aug. 20.-Declaring that
John Nufer treated his wife ike
dog and that he had chained her In
corner of her room in East Oakland for
nineteen days. Mrs. Teresa Mulhaupt.

day as she told her story in the Re-
ceiving Hospital Mrs. Josephine Nufer.
John Nufer's wife, was being examined
by Drs. e. J. Rice and H. M. Fine as
to her sanity. Later she was COM
mitted to the Napa State Hospital by
Judge Harris.
1t was agreed by all concerned that
Mrs. Nufer who is a paralytic, was
demented, but there was contest over
her guardianship between her husband
and mother. 1t was also agreed that
Nufer. who is a saloon keeper of East
Oakland, took his wife to Europe and
returned with her several months ago.
But there the agreements ceased Mrs.
Mulhaupt declared that after their re-
turn Nufer chained his wife in room
for nineteen. days and in other ways
treated her worse than a dog"
Nufer claims that he took his wife
to Switzerland to be treated and that
he employed two trained nurses to care
for her. When the doctors gave her
up he brought her back to Oakland
and asked her mother to care for her.
He alleges that Mrs. Mulhaupt refused,
but later changed her mind. In the
meantime he had made provision for
taking care of his wife and would not
allow her family to take her.
The contest over the guardianship
was continued by Judge Harris for a
week
