The action is for recovery of damages for the unlawful killing of plaintiff\u2019s intestate. The gist of the demurrer is that the complaint sets up a purported action in negligence and does not particularize with facts and circumstances supporting the general allegation of negligence. But the complaint alleges a willful and felonious slaying, and therefore sets up a good cause of action.\nThe demurrer was properly overruled and the judgment is\nAffirmed.",
