Stabbing at Hamilton Leaves Whitlatch in Serious Condition

Charles Whitlatch lies in Miner's hospital Albia in serious condition after a Saturday night stabbing in Hamilton. Park King, about 20, was jailed in Knoxville following a scuffle at a dance hall where King reportedly stabbed Whitlatch twice with a spring-loaded pocket knife. Whitlatch, 30, married with four children, was aided by bystanders and transported by ambulance after Constable Emmett Godfrey captured King. The incident remains under investigation with relations described as cousins and no known grudges.
