While Mrs. Elizabeth vachinski, of 2S6 Osborne street, held up her ban daged hands and detailed her hus- bands actions when last Saturday he attempted to kill her with a roughly fashioned knife of his own make, Er- nest Beckley, a meat cutter of 662 Howard avenue who had been sem fenced in the city court a few mo- ments before to 10 days in jail for drunkenness, uttered yell and fell from his seat in the prisoners pen, in fit. He was removed
 Mrs. Vachinski, mother of a large family, told of her husbands creat- ing a disturbance because she had given away part of a mess of fish, and when she upbraided him for his idle life, he snatched the cobbling knife, plunged it into her breast sev- he finally broke off the blade in one of his murderous thrusts, he ran from the room and returned with another knife to finish the job.
 Vachinski was charged with assault with intent to kill. which. carries a maximum sentence of 15 years. Judge Foster suggested that in view of the circumstances the charge might be changed to assault with intent to mur- der, the penalty for which is much heavier
 He held Vachinski for trial in the Superior court in bail of $2,5o0, which he was unable to furnish.
 Beckley, arrested with two other drunken men early this morning, re- from the Emergency hospital. He went to jail to serve his 10 days, sen- tence. in the patrol wagon with Vachinski.

 Richardson's report declared that the merchants association of San Diego, assisted by the county officials and the city police department "have violated all of the constitutional r1gltS or every man, WOman anu child of San Diego.'' He declared that men were beaten unconscious, forced to run gauntlet more blood thirsty and brutal than ever conceived by a North American Indian and he cites various specific instances of what he termed ''high-handed contempt for law and order.''
 He. cited seventy-five instances where he alleged men were arrested without warrant, held in a "bu1l-pen" without food or water for from "A to 72 hours, their money taken from them and finally turned loose at the county line with instructions to walk 100 miles to Los Angeles on pain of being killed if they turned south again. One man named Hoy, he a1- legged, was beaten to death; another named Julius Yum, who had no con .1ectfon either with the Socialists or the I. w w., was beaten unconsci- ous and so seriously injured that he may never recover, and he gave the names of a score of others that he allesed were maltreated by the wig ilantes," formed by the Merchants as- sociat ton.
 Richardson alleged that the so-cal1- ed HAg-kissing stories were untrue. The men forced to kiss the flag, he said. were first knocked down with clubs and afterward were made to run the gauntlet of 100 men, armed with hickory wagon Hpokes.
