WALKS IN DEATHS SHADOW
slightest Mishnp Would Cause FOs-
berr to Bleed to Death.

Frank Fosberg. of TAO Sackett street,
Brooklyn, appeared before Justice Tighe.
in the Butler Street Court, this morn
ing, and made a charge Of felonious
assault against Oscar Engstrom.
Fosberg has been in st. Johns Hos
pital since June % last. He has just
been discharged. He is still in very
critical condition. He says that on
the night of June % he met and
got into an alteration with Engstrom
at Fourth avenue and Sackett street
and the latter stabbed him in the left
thigh with a knife.
The knife severed the covering Of the
main artery of the leg leaving only a
covering over the blood vessel thinner
than tissue paper. The doctors say
that any intense excitement or fall
would rupture the artery and Fosberg
would bleed to death.
Engstrom has been in Jail since the
assault and was sent back by Judge
Tighe to stand trial.
