ding reception in Columbia hall, at
State and Commerce streets, Satur-
day night caused a double stabbing
and shooting match. Two men

whose identity is being sought by the

arrests were made. Three were held

the grand jury for stabbing; the gun
toter was first held in default of pay
ment of fines aggregating 500 and
later held without bail for the grand
jury, and the two men stabbed were
paroled until wanted.
John Masua was stabbed six times
in the back, twice on the head and
once on the hand. John Mamrock
was cut in two places on the left arm,
requiring three stitches. None of

Chapman avenue; George Zobk, nine
teen years old, Of 355 Fayette street,
and George Herno, twenty years old,

and were held without bail. Steve

carrying concealed weapons and dis
orderly conduct, for which he was at
first fined 500, $50 on each charge.
When 1t became known today that
he had shot two teeth from mans
mouth, he too was held without bail
to await the action Of the grand jury.
The police will question his victim
today.

drunken #rawl was first called at II

AS Roundsman Morris was taking

John Masua, near State and Broad
streets, who claimed he had been
stabbed. He was almost covered

Meinzer's office for treatment. AS
sisted by Patrolman Quinn, Morris
took the men to headquarters.
The investigation which followed
by Morris and Patrolmen Lybeck,
Gutowski, Durham, Quinn and Smith
led to the other arrests. John Mann

arrested at 2:30 o'clock yesterday
morning. His story caused the ap-
prehension of Balsh, Zobk and Herno
an hour later. One of the principal
witnesses is John Hudas, Of 4S3
Sayre avenue.
Persistence of friends of the al
legged assailants to visit them at
police headquarters yesterday caused
two more arrests in the case. After
having been bothered with visitors
for some time, Sergeant McDermott
called a halt. Three men were de-
MED admission to the cell department
to see their friends about 4:30
o'clock and they went around to the
