Disagreement Over Losses At Gambling Game Led To Bloody Assault In Early
 Morning.

Disagreement concerning the pay ment of losses, alleged to have result ed from the playing of a game of "scopa" early today at 25 Sherman street, resulted in fierce and bloody fight, the sending of Michael Laripio, 27 years old of 27 Sherman street to Bridgeport hospital with four stab wounds and causing Giuseppe Longo to become a fugitive from justice. Quick work on the part of Lieutenant Charles H. Suckley resulted in a man supposed to be the fugitive being taken from a New Haven train at the Grand Central station. Detective Sergeant George E. Fox left at once for New York for the purpose of mak- ing Identification and having him held until requisition papers are prepared.
 Weak with loss of blood, unable to leave his couch and at first believed to be mortally injured, Laripio was discovered shortly before o'clock by other roomers in the house. At about the same time Mrs. Ghetto Longo of 25 Sherman street reported to Police
 man John Corrigan of the Second precinct station details of the trouble. Lieutenant John Quinlivan sent Serge ant Edward Wagner and Doorman Joseph Burke to assist in the investi- gation and then notified Lieutenant SuckIey at police headquarters. Mrs. Longo implicated her brother and gave his description. It was telephoned to the departments of nearby cities.
 Iaripio was given first aid treat ment preceding the arrival of the emergency hospital ambulance. pr. John J. MacDonald found him to be suffering from a stab wound on the right cheek that may disigure him for life, another on the right fore arm just below the elbow, a wound kz-- of his left hand and a, wound in his back about midway between the shoulder blades. At first examination, it appeared as if the one in the back would be serious but later examina- ton showed that it had little depth and, barring complications. should not prevent speedy recovery.
 Following treatment, he was inter viewed by Captain of Detectives George H. Arnold and Detective Luke Petruschen at the hospital and gave details of his experiences. According to the story, there was a, growler party on the stoop of 27 Sherman street, last night with @ number of the roomers taking part. It was al- legged at that time that the money paid for the refreshments came from $6 that a girl in the house had reported as having been stolen from her and concerning which she intended to make a report to the police.
 There was a little disagreement at that time but nothing serious. Later the party adjourned to the next door and a, game of "scopa'' was arranged at five cents a corner. Two of the players won and dropped out and, ac- cording to the rules of the game, Longo and Laripio alone remained with a pot" of 20 cents. The story gained from Laripio and other sources is that Longo lost both times and then tried to leave without paying. Laripio is claimed to have made sar- castle remarks, and the fight was on. He says that he was not allowed to have chance and that Philip Piccio, proprietor of the house, held his hands while Longo stabbed him. Then, according to his story, he was put out of the house and, bleeding profusely, managed to crawl to his bed.
 Both Laripio and Longo are said to have been in this country but a short time. Longo was planning to leave for New York this morning but left earlier and more hurriedly than he expected.
