Mrs. Ferguson was not at the McKay home and Mr. McKay and the members of his family were greatly alarmed by the nocturnal attack on their dwelling. While Ferguson was storming the kitchen door the inmates of the house, according to Officer Bundy, were busily occupied in getting out of the house by other exits. Owing to the fact that Philip Brookens, owner of the house, was not in court to testify to the amount of damage done by Ferguson, the case was continued until today. About two months ago Ferguson while at the home of a friend in the south end brutally assaulted his wife, who had come to take him home. Ferguson was given a stiff fine which he paid.
