Lost purse leads to arrests at christening party
Mrs. John Marchinko of 154 Summerfield Avenue found a purse containing 110 dollars on the floor of her home yesterday. Her discovery led to the release of her husband and his brother Adam Marchinko, who had been arrested Sunday on the complaint of Paul Ganko of 123 Summerfield Avenue, a guest at the christening party. Ganko had accused the brothers and all three were held by police during the investigation. Mrs. Marchinko says the wallet was kicked through an accident by a guest while sweeping up.
