He took pains to kick me in the back. I struggled to get and did get up and he choked me again and backed me up against the window and choked me again and again and slapped me and then again he wasn't satisfied with that, so he twisted the skin on my hand. He wasn't satisfied with that. He bent my fingers back and tried to break them and then he said: Threatened To Kill Hed. “‘1 will cut your throat,’ and reached for his knife. “The knife had fallen out of his pocket in the afternoon while he was Iving on the bed and I picked it up and put it over on the table after he walked out of the room and then when he didn’t have the knife in his pocket he reached for the knife I had given him on a little gold chain and somehow that knife wasn't there.

Move of Charter Revision Committee o Act on Budgets Approved by “P. S.” Today | P. 8. McMahon is heartily in accord with the charter revision committee’s proposal to supplant the present form { of city meeting by a city convention to be made up of 24 delegates from each of the wards, the board of | finance and taxation and the common | ocouncil. In view of statements made today commending the committee for its action in drafting tentative plans | for such u ecity convention, it is not probable that McMahon or his fol- lowers will attend Thursday’s publi hearing to oppose the action of the re- vision committee in this respect. Mr. McMahon expressed himself as of the belief that,the proposed con- | vention would be a satisfactory solu- | tion of the city meeting problem and { one which would be accepted by both sides on the tax question. The plan | is to have § delegates clected each vear to serve for three years. When the board of finance and taxation buget has been passed upon by the council, it will come up for action at the city convention. The delesates common council and finance and tax:- tion board will be entitled to vote. PETTS—CARRIER Mrs. J. H.
