FRANK TURK

The Police Cannot FIND
AssaiIant or His
Victim.

With three knife wounds in hi.
| breast and right arm, Frank Turk, q
guard at Oahu Prison and formerly q
| well-known shipping-master on the
| eifront, was taken to the Queen 's
] Hospital shortly after ! o'clock yester.
| day afternoon. All over town the talk
| is that the wounds were made by
! Charles Murasky, a carpenter. 1t is
denied by some of Muraslzy's 5 friends,
however, that he was the assailant.
/ Turk S wounds came near growing
+, fatal, the most severe being in the
feshy part of the upper right arm,
| about three inches from the armpit.
; The blade just missed the large artery,
the severing OF which, had it occurred,
| would undoubtedly have caused Turk s
death by draining his system of blood.
| under the right nipple and the other
| under the left
The assault took place in front of the
Columbia Saloon on Hotel street, and
was witnessed by several persons.
Blood stains on the stone pavement
were a magnet for the curious ones, and
the fight was recounted to each crowd
with variations.
Strange 20 say no complaint was
made to the police by Turk or any of
his friends. Eye-witnesses suddenly
discovered that just at the psychologist
cal moment, wnen the assailant IS knife
blade was digging holes in Turk s
anatomy, they We're looking elsewhere.
Turk, after being taken to the hospital
and having his wounds dressed, left for
his apartments on Alakea street, but
did not remain there. Murasky's apart
ments were likewise empty. All the
participants and bystanders seemed to
have made common resolve to get out
of the glare of the calcium light
One version of the cause of the as
sault was that some remark of Turk s,
alleged to have been directed at Mu
rasky, was conveyed to the latter by a
friend Murasky is then said to have
sought Turk for an explanation At
any rate the pair came together in
front of the Columbia Saloon, and in a
minute the blade of pen-knife in Mu
rasky's hand was thrust into Turk S
breast. Twice the blade cut through
Turk s clothing and cut into his chest.
In warding off the next blow, Turk re-
ceived the blade in his arm.

who is the cook. but most often it is

saucepans, which is about the only
difference. Suddenly we came upon an
old friend. in whose hospitable home
we had often been royalty entertained.
The home was a wreck. Every pane
of glass was smashed, and the struc
ture was shaken from the foundation
by the earthquake.
