OAKLAND, July 20.-Edgar A. Mil
ner, formerly principal of grammar
schools of Portland. Ore, and at Chats
worth Park, Los Angeles county, was
compelled to resign his positions on
account of the conduct of his wife,
Clara Miner, according to an answer to
her suit for divorce filed today with the
county clerk.
Their marriage occurred before his
wife had secured a final decree of di-
vorce from Charles Bogard, a railway
conductor of San Francisco, he charged
in his cross complaint. The breakup
in the family life of the Miners was
not accomplished until the children had
inflicted serious bodily injuries upon

daughter Mrs. Cecile Dumairis, Milner
said, gashed the back of his neck with
carving knife as he lay unconscious.
Subsequently he alleged that the
humiliation brought upon him by his
wife's relations with others forced him
to resign.
He secured a position at Chatsworth
Park and she came to Oakland, taking
up quarters near the Emeryville race
track. Miner complained that she
sent kilograms containing urgent re-
quests for money as he was led to be-
lieve that her son was dying or her
daughter had appendicitis and required
an operation, but all of the money, he
charged, had been lost by the woman
while playing the races.
Miner claimed that he accidentally
learned of his wife's former marriage,
of her divorce and remarriage before
the expiration of a year after securing
an interlocutory decree from Bogard in
San Francisco.
