BRooMHANDLE ARGUMENT. Henry Moeckel Hits Henry Marcus
 Because He Would Sing.

Martin Marcus is a baker and also fam cies he is a singer. A few nights ago he obtained employment in bakery on Jones and O'Farrell streets. and during the early hours of the morning would give full play to his vocal powers. The neighbors complained to his employer that their slumbers were disturbed by the noise made by Marcus, and Saturday night the foreman, Henry Moeckel. was instructed to stop Marcus in his vocaliza- ton.
 About o'clock yesterday morning Mar GUS burst forth in song and Moeckel told him to "shut up.' Marcus declined, and they began calling each other offensive names Then a fight was in order, and Moeckel armed himself with a broom handle, while Marcus drew his knife. Moeckel hit Marcus on the head with the broomhandle and Marcus slashed Moeckel on each arm. but only succeeded in mak- ing a scratch.
 Marcus was taken to the Receiving Hospital in the patrol wagon and Dr. Zobel found that his skull was slightly fractured. Moeckel was arrested by Po- liceman Prowse and locked up in the City Prison on a charge of assault with a deadly weapon. He was released yester- day afternoon on $500 bonds accepted by Judge Low. He claims self-defense.
