Free For All Fight DiscIoses
 An Old Mystery
Also Shows the Importance of Not Looking Like An other Man on a Dark
 Night

Through a ree-for-aI1, fight on Goodwin street Sunday night in which Philip MoresA sustained fractured have unearthed a criminal case that puzzled the department for many months several years ago.
 The police are of the opinion that Philip Moreski and his brother Adam, who was likewise concerned in the Goodwin street fight, were a pair for whom the authorities long searched at one time,, wanting them for assault with intent to murder
 It is not likely that the old charge will now be pressed owing to the fact that it would be extremely difficult to Arevamp the old evidence and se- cure the witnesses of the old crime.
 1t is recalled that two brothers nam ed Philip and Adam Moreski several years ago came within an ace of slash ing one of their fellow countrymen to death. One of the Moreski's was cap tured,y but the one the police particu- larly wanted escaped.
 He went in hiding in Fairfield. The police surrounded his house but Nor eski had obtained wind of their com ing and escaped by esconcing himself beneath a load of vegetables in a peddler's wagon. He was never cap tured in time to answer for his crime.
 The police are inclined to believe that the Philip and Adam Moreski concerned in the present case are the same pair of brothers.
 The fight on Goodwin street in which Philip Moreski obtained a frac- tured skull was a case of mistaken identity, and Philip was the victim of the mistake
 A gang of several had been drink in, Adam Moreski furnishing the beer When settlement time came, one of the number named Gesiorek refused to pay his share of the entertainment, amounting to 25 cents.
 The gang determined ito edo up'' Gesiorek. In the dark they went for, their victim. It happened that Philip Moresd had the same kind of cap as Gesiorek and in the dark the gang went for him and laid him out cold, while sGesiorek escaped
 Why, that's my brother" exclaimed Adam Moreski, when he examined the victim. By, that time Gesiorek was we'll out of reach. Then it was dis covered that Philip Moreski was suf- fering from a fractured skull, and the ambulance was called
 The injured man was taken to the Bridgeport hospital and eight of the gang were placed under arrest. Two of them are held in bonds of 2,5O0 each and the rest in bonds of $50 each, pending the outcome of Nor eskfs injuries.
