SHOCKING OUTRAGE
RAZOR-SLASHING CASE. MAN IN GRAVE CONDITION. (United Press Assn.—By Telegraph—Copyright.) Sydney, August 22. One of the worst cases of razor-slashing occurred in the city last night. With his nose hanging by a thread of skin, his lower lip and chin cut to the jaw bone, and his upper lip sliced through, Patrick Amos, aged 44, was admitted to hospital in a critical condition. The wounds were in the shape of a cross. The police believe that this was deliberately traced by the attacker as an act of vengeance. The man’s dying depositions have been taken.
