— ' I
POUGHKEEPSIE, N. Y„ Dec. 22. f
(P)—An infuriated Japanese but
ler, Gentro Akiyama, who was said
: to be 38 years of age, stabbed to
I death J. William Schatz, 56 years
: of age, millionaire manufacturer
and sportsman, in the presence of
j his house guest, Mrs. Flora Quick
Carozza, Sunday.
Akiyama was discharged Satur
day night for his failure to pre
pare an after theatre luncheon for
Schatz and Mrs. Carozza. who was
separated from her husband, a state
trooper.
The discharged butler burst into
the Schatz bedchamber and at
tacked Mrs. Carozza and Schatz
j but the police arrived before the
i butler could kill the woman.
1 Mrs. Carozza was forced to wit
ness the execution of Schatz and
! was severely beaten. After killing
! the millionaire, Akiyama, aided by
his sister-in-law. Sadako Otsuka,
who had posed as his wife for nine
i months, turned on Mrs. Carozza.
She was saved only by the arrival
of police who had been summoned
by the telephone operator.
Akiyama and his sister-in-law
were held for the grand jury on
warrants charging them with mur
der in the first degree.
The butler was found half naked
lying beneath a piece of paper in a
coal bin of the Schatz home less
than an hour after the murder. He
did not try to resist.
When the Japanese entered Mr.
Schatz’s room and began to attack
him he hit his employer over the
head with a bottle and again with
a vase, but despite the blows, Schatz
managed to stagger into the hall.
The two men fought down the stairs
and into the reception room where
the butler, using a hatchet, appar
ently badly hurt the older man.
Akiyama then began to beat Mrs.
Carozza who had witnessed the
fight. At this time Schatz stag
gered out of the door, but collapsed
and he was dragged into the house
by Miss Otsuka. Then Mrs. Caroz
za and Schatz were taken into the
I cellar where the millionaire was
murdered.
