FIGHT WITH RAZORS
TWO MEN TERRIBLY INJURED. DUEL WATCHED BY WOMAN. Newcastle, January 12. Two seafaring men, William McQuirk, aged 29, and John McEwan, aged 37, were found by the police in a room bearing ghastly injuries and marks which they will carry all their lives. The police saw that a woman watched a deadly razor duel in which the men were . wounded. Blood streamed from slashes in their heads and bodies. Both victims refused to give the police any information. ■ Twenty-one stitches were inserted in a wound in McQuirk’s face, and McEwan’s nostril was either bitten or cut clean off. The men were covered from head to foot with blood which also bespattered the room. Both men are in a serious condition.—Australian Press Association.
