ATTACKED IN ERROR
GIRL HIT WITH HAMMER. [PER PRESS ASSOCIATION.] ' DUNEDIN, November 14. Attacked with a hammer in her room in Queen Street, early this morning, Ruth Eleanor Corlet, 19, suffered a broken left arm and scalp wounds. Fifty minutes after her admission to the hospital, Thomas Poulson, 47, her alleged assailant, walked into the hospital, with a wound in his throat, apparently inflicted with a razor. Neither’s condition is serious. It is alleged that Poulson had been keeping company with another young woman, a resident in the same boarding house, and that he entered Corlet’s room by mistake, and that after some talk with Corlet about the other girl, he struck her with a hammer, then returning to his own home, where he inflicted the throat wound. Poulson is a dental mechanic, but lately has been doing canvassing.
