a Third avenue car earljj today and
waa cut and clubbed eo brutally that
he Is now In Gouvcneur Hospital, close
to death. Kathleen Cook, to whom he
engaged to he married, Is at the

While terrified passengers struggled
to get out of the way, and while wom
en screamed wildly for help, a tall,
muscular Italian cut Machtney’s face
from the temple to the chin with a
razor, severing hls ear. The police say
the fight wa* over Ihe woman.
After the Italian escaped a policeman
prevented Machtney from bleeding to
death by holding tne spurting arteries
shut with hls hands. With the bleed

unconscious beside him, a great croud
gathered, while an ambulance from
Gouveneur Hospital was awaited.
The woman, who was with Machtney
at the time of the assault, recently

had quarreled In Pittsburg and tha
man had come here to try to patch up
the difference.
They consider It significant that ths
