There was a struggle in the street in which a member of the second gang named Kuo Sen-min was stabbed twice on the thigh "when he bent down to open a case stolen by the opposing gang and he was later arrested in a hospital Through his confession, the police succeeded in younding up all the six men belonging to the first gang.
This interesting tale of what the Chinese term "black eats black," meaning robbers robbed by robbers, was told yesterday in the First Special District Court when six robber suspects were brought to the tribunal on a writ of detention. The police refrained from framing charges against them wishing to make more investigations. It was not revealed as to whether or not the police had recovered the loot.
The robbery was committed shortly after 5 am. when six men, who were only armed with two knives broke into the home of Hsu Fang-fu and after silencing all occurhnts with their weapons they searched and stole clothing, jewellery and cash which they put in a case. They escaped but when they reached Lay Road they met the other five robbers who thought that it meant good business as one of the six men cartied a big case containing the loot.
Realizing' that they were weak because they were not armed with modern weapons, the six men at first submitted to a "search" but as soon as they saw that none of the opposing gang carried pistols two of the six men began to stab the other rebbers with knives. Members of the other gang became scared and ran away quickly leaving behind them @ confederate bleeding profusely on the ground. The wounded man was seen by the police sometime later, in a hospital where he is recuperating and therefore he could appear in court yesterday.
