The rival houses of Favara and

floors. respectively, of the five story
tenement at 122 Cherry street. near
Catharine street. began quarreling
early yesterday.
Before noon. both families, including
relatives and friends visiting them,
had lined up for battle. There were
about fifty TO a side, including the
women and children. They cursed
each other and the atmosphere became
charged with danger.
Frank Favara. "A. who lives with
his wife, children and several other
relatives. left early in the afternoon
TO attend a lodge meeting. The bick-
ering continued. When he came back
a short time later he was met at the
third floor landing, according to his
story, backed by his relatives. by
Nicholas Parisi, SO, and another man.
Parish had heavy chain which he
uses in his work in the Street Clean
ing Department. He began to belabor
Favara with 1t. The friend hit F'avara
with his fists. Favara pulled knife
and stabbed Parish near the heart.
Then he ran and barricaded himself
in his apartment, while Parisi's friend
and his allies carried Parish down to
a drug store at SO Catharine street.
Reserves Called Out.
About fifty of the Parisis and their
friends stormed the Favara apartment
They broke down the stairway and
burst in the door with a series of
rushes. Meanwhile. Favara's friends
were fighting back.
Detectives Salvatore Innella and
Louis Fiori, who were near by, came
running in and managed to fight their
way in to where F'avara. backed into
corner, was combating the mob of
Parisis. He had been hit several times
and w.rs bleeding.
Alarms OF the battle went out. In a
few minutes Detective Michael Gorevan
and a squad from the Oak street police
station arrived. Then Deputy Chief In
spcctor Cahalane came from headquar-
ters. The reserves from three stations
were called.
After ten minutes of fighting with
a mob that grew larger all the time. the
police managed to get Favara to the
sidewalk. The sight OF him out in the
open enraged the mob even more. The
situation was not helped much by Mrs.
Josephine Parish, the aged grandmother
OF the wounded man. who, amid wall
fngs, prayers and curses, stopped time
and again to kiss the blood spots on the
sidewalk. BY that time the whole
neighborhood was out. siding with one
faction or the other. After hard
scrimmage. the police got Favara into
an automobile and took him to the Oak
street police station.
Parish died a few minutes after Z
o'clock in Beekman Street Hospital.
