MUCHLER'S MALICE

A Man Throws Oil of Vitriol into His Wife's Face

Alonzo Muchler, aged 24, a bricklayer hailing from Toledo, was arrested last night for throwing oil of vitriol into the face of his wife, Mollie Muchler, better known in certain circles as the "Sandusky Blonde". They were married four years ago, but have been at war ever since. Muchler is said to have adopted the "mani-cure" for the alleged transgressions of his wife, and she ran away, taking up her home in a disreputable house, no. 202 Seneca Street. Yesterday, Muchler arrived here and seeking out his wife, dashed the contents of a vial of vitriol into her face. This happened on Michigan Street, and Muchler turned into Seneca Street, where he ran into the arms of a policeman. The woman was taken to Bock's Drug Store, where Dr. Arms took her under treatment.
