were about to escort them home when karpinski pushed one of them aside, ''very lightly" according to his testimony and walked along between the young women, who are sisters. He was leaving them a short time later when Sokolski and Monkiewicz attacked him. He went into a nearby barber shop and left his hat and coat, after which he took it upon himself to fight the pair.
 Witnesses differed as to whether karpinski was punched or had banged himself against the fender or bumper of an automobile after miss ing a wild swing. Testimony was also offered that karpinski used his feet as we'll as his fists.
 ! pr. David Waskowitz testified that he attended karpinski the day after the fight and found his lip lacerated. his left ear bruised. his hand in- jured and a hemorrhage condition in enc kidney. The latter injury Ve- sponded we'll to treatment and may not be of lasting seriousness, he tes- tified.
 ! Monkiewicz testified that karpin- ski pushed him and Sokolski and al- most knocked them down. They went along and karpinsii walked up Broad street with the young women. Sokolski decided to wal: for Karpin- ski to leave the young women and then he asked him "what was the big idea of pushing" karpinski re- piled "Wait q minute" and rushed into the barber shop. When he came out hatless and coatless. he swung his fists and connected with Monkiewicz's eye. Monkiewicz ad- mitted that he retaliated and he thought he landed a blow or two on Karpnski's face.
 Sokolski testified that karpinskl was the aggressor. The reason he and Monkiewicz ran away when Ser. seant Feeney drove up to the corner where the fight took place was that they became excited. According to Soholski Tit was more of a wrestling match than anything else"
 Prosecuting Attorney Woods char acterized Sokolskt and Monkiewicz as "gangsters" of the type who lie in wait for pedestrians at night and assault them. There is too mucE of it occurring in the northwestern section of the city and 1t is time a stop was put to if. he said. They should be punished severely.
 Attorpev Nartir F Stpmpien ren. resenting Sokolski and Monkiewicz scored karpinski for his aggressive demeanor and denied that the young men are gangsters. They merely defended themselves as they wert obliged 10 do in the face of kar pinskis attack. karpinski shouted that he was ready 10 take twenty like them" and proceeded to bea' them.
