Day Off To Fight
9 Duels:
(By: A Special Correspondent)
Budapest, Dec. 16.
DR. FRANZ SARGAS, Hungarian civil servant who fights nine consecutive duels for his wife's honour next Tuesday, was doing gymnastic exercises when I called at his flat to-day.
Its wife is blonde society beauty" Magda Darko, daughter of a wealthy bonker, with whom he cloped six months ago
Dr. Sargos anys his opponents have made offensive references to his wife and their marriage.
He met me at the door and said, "I'm sorry, but the duellist code of honour says strictly that no comba- tant or second must talk,"
A friend of Dr. Sargan sald to me: "Sargas is a strong awards- roan. ile has been taking inten- sive lessons for a month, to be really in form. His opponents are all trained swordsmen, 100.
"The ecols decided to-day that six duels should be fought with heavy cavalry sabres, men stripped to the waist, and the last three with pistols,
"Sargas is contidens he can fight out the sabre ducis, and regards the pistol ducis as a bit of light sport to finish the day. He hopes to get all over in time for lunch.
Re is having a day off from the office on Tuesday.
"Ductors will be present."
