 BRINGS sIO,000 SUIT
Mrs. Mary Jakubinas, in Hospital, Files Action
 Today

Mrs. Mary Jakubinas of 353 Chest nut street, who is in a critical condi- ton at New Britain General hospital because of a knife wound inflicted by her husband, Frank Jakuhinas, at their home late Saturday night, today brought suit against her hus- band for Sl0,000. Judge W. r. Man gan issued the writ, which was served by Deputy Sheriff Matthew Papciak. Money in local bank was attached. The writ is returnable in superior court.
 A compromise bond Of s10.000 for the release of Jakubinas was fixed by today, but up to this afternoon the bond had not been posted and Jaku- binas was in a cell at the police sta tion. Attorney Thomas J. Cabelus asked that bond be set and Prose cutting Attorney J. G. Woods said he posted. in view of the seriousness Of Mrs. Jakubinas' condition. Attorney Cabelus said s15,000 was entirely too high and Jakubinas would have dif- ticulty raising one-half that amount Judge Roche said he felt $10,o0o was sufficient.
 Mrs. Jakubinas Is believed to have a good chance for recovery. barring Attorney Cabelus said she will be unable to appear in court for several weeks at least, and Judge Roche continued the hus- bands case until January II. with the understanding that it will be continued again If the woman's con- dition does not permit of her attend ing court at that time.
