CORRAL! MEETS
DEATH IN FIGHT
WITH NORWALKER

Norwa1k, June 3-Frauk Cobral, a
Portuguese, who lived at 8S Highland
avenue, Bridgeport, is dead, having
been hit over the head late Saturday
night by a negro known here only
as Nine Spot and Nine Of Diamonds.
The fight was over a negro woman
at a house in Harbor avenue, Nor
walk.
Cobral was found on the railroad
track in an unconscious condition by
Thomas Hewston, negro, who has q
house nearby. DIR. Furnall was call
ed and at first it was thought that
Cobral had stumbled while track
walking and had received the in
jury.
Late yesterday Medical Examiner
S. H. Huntington was called in and
it was determined that Cobral had
been in a fight Death came and
today an autopsy was held. which de-
ternined that death was caused by a
blow on the head. Further inquiry
showed that the weapon was an axe,
and probably Cobral was dragged to
the tracks. The negro known as
Nine Spot, was seen yesterday and
the. police are trying to find him now.
Coroner Phelan opened an inquest to-
day.

stole a large silk American flag from
the altar and then looted the poor
box of about s.. The thief ransacked
the entire building in an effort to find

booty he broke open three boxes and
took the flag from the altar where it
was draped in honor of the times.
