Sakala, In Jail, Is Charged
With Cutting With In
tent To Wound

The alleged alienation Of the af-
fections Of Jacob Sakala's wife by
Harry Petercyz, an Austrian, termi-
mated in a cutting fray Sunday even
ing about o'clock at the home of
Michael Matzko, at whose home in
South Vernon Petercyz boards, in
which the latter was badly lacerated
about the head and chest. The trou-
BILE Is said to have been brewing for
several months.
Several months ago Petrocyz board
ed at the home of Sakala, which is
near that of Matzko. Sakala alleges
that when he would leave for his
work in the morning, Petercyz, who is
on a night shift, would sit with his
wife and talk to her most of the time
he was away He states, however,
that his wife showed no partially to
the boarder.
This is said to have been going on
for some time when Sakala ordered
his alleged rival to leave his home.
This Petercyz did, and took up his
residence with Micheal Matzko, who
lived in the house next to the one oc-
cupied by Sakala and his wife.
Repeatedly. Sakala came to see
Petercyz the former claims, but was
invariably ordered from the house by
the latter. He was always loath to
leave, but finally complied with Peter
cyz's orders each time.
The hatred of Sakala for Petercyz
came to head Sunday evening, it is
claimed, when the former was order
ed out of the house when he called on
the latter. He made no move to go,
but kept behind Petercyz, awaiting
his opportunity to strike a blow, ac-
cording to Petercyz who states that
Sakala, in a blind fury, sprang upon
him with large butcher knife, inflict-
| ing two wounds in his head, one four
inches long and the other about l IL

Petercyz did not lose conscious
ness, but turned upon his assailant
and attempted to gain possession of
the murderous weapon. Sakala kept
hacking away at Petercyz, 1t is al
legged, cutting his shirt and iniicting
a long scratch just above his heart
Again he struck at his alleged rival, II
is said, this time hooking him with
the point of the knife above his left
hip.
1t was at this point in the fray

It some distance from the spot where
they were tusseling. Sheriff Moss

soon parted. Petercyz was taken tt

attorneys except Mr.. Stasel, who is
somewhat of geographer and who

laid out without regard to the points of
the compass, as though it had been
done before the dry movement and
by a near-sighted blacksmith, in the
dark of the moon. Heating of the
court room was not complete, which
added noticeably to the nervous ten
sion of the jurists engaged in the
struggle.
The cast is interesting in it's history
and the contention. The plaintiff urg-
es that after the dedication of the
streets and alleys of the original plat,
made to the State of Ohio in 1907,
much of them fell into disuse and have
