BROTHER FINDS
 SISTER, HE DID
 NOT KNOW LIVED

, (Continued From Page One.) heard in Bridgeport several years ago. The young man knew that his name was Fair, and from the meagre in- formation secured ~+ the County home, knew that he had been com n1itted to that institution by a Judge Nobgos, Cf Bridgeport Thinking that the Mrs Fair, whose body was found in a. Darien swamp, might possibly have been his mother, the soldier de- termined to investigate as soon as he came oart of the service.
 About a year ago, Fair obtained his discharge from the army and went to Brockton, Mass, where he found employment in the Emerson Shoe Co.'S factory Since that time he has bought himself a house and has be- come engaged to be married to young lady.
 Not wishing to marry before his 1 lineage was established beyond doubt, l Fair decided yesterday to come to | Bridgeport and try the local police as 1 the final resort.
 i The young man arrived in this city i early this morning, and nediately 1 paid a visit to police headquarters. 1 He was sent to the detective depart 1 ment, and there secured invaluable l assistance in the persons of Captain Edward o. Cronin and Lieutenant 1 James Bray. Captain Cronin inform ed him that the Fair woman in the 1 Darien murder case could not possi- bly be his mother inasmuch as she 1 was a young woman, and came from Albany, N. Y. The captain then sug- l gested a search of old city directories. This step brought to light the name 1 of one Mrs. Alice Fair, an eld-time resident of Bridgeport.
 l Lieutenant James Bray accompan- l jed the young man to the town clerk g
 office, and a search of the records di-
 vuIged the fact that William Fair was
 indeed the son of Mrs. Alice Fair. A ! hurried trip back to headquarters and | another search of the directories re-
 suited in the discovery of Miss Alice Fair, a daughter of Mrs. Alice Fair,
 who is employed as a telephone oper-
 ator by the Southern New England Telephone Company.
 This put the officer and young Fair off on a hot trial, and they again set forth, this time to the telephone com
 pany's office They entered a small
 private room, and Miss Fair was
 summoned to meet them.
 Are you Miss Alice Fair?'' inquired
 Lieutenant Bray.
 'fYes," replied the young lady.

 oI tDid you ever hear her talk of {
 httle brother of yours named WlEe?'
