As a result of the stabbing, a relative, Charles Fauste, is being held on a charge of drunkenness and breach of the peace. | While the exact cause of Dabu- ! lect's death will not be known until an autopsy is performed, the medical examiner's opinion is that it was 1sed by pneumonia brought on by exposure as well as alcoholism. Da- bulect was found lying on the side- walk in front of 31 Lombard street. He died a few minutes after he had been taken to New Haven hospital. Dabulect is said to have lived at 41 Mill street but he had not been | seen there for about a week. On New Year's eve he is said to have gone to the home of Michael Pinsky and asked shelter for the mnight. Pinsky was unable to care for him | and it is believed Dabulect slept out in the rain and cold in the yard. It | was the opinion of investigators that he had been drinking a very poor grade of liquor. The quarrel in which Quander was stabbed is believed to have started in an argument over family troubles | after he and his relatives had be- | come intoxicated. A small knife, | believed to have been used by Fauste | was recovered by the police. Quan- der is in a critical condition at New Iaven hospital.
