Russell Medard Peters: Detroit Free Press (Detroit, MI), Sunday, 6 February 1949: Brawler dies as fight spills into street: A barroom fight that spilled out into W. Fort brought death to one brawler and a broken leg to the other under the wheels of a car early Saturday. Russell Peters, 32, of 6748 Paige, Van Dyke, was dead on arrival at Receiving Hospital. His opponent, Moses Mackey, 42, of 4034 Vinewood, was found to have a compound fracture of the left leg. They were struck by a car driven by Patsy Dettore, 36, of 10220 E. Outer Drive, who was exonerated by police. Witnesses said Peters, a tool and die maker at the Ternstedt Manufacturing Co. had quit his job Friday night and was in a bar at 6343 W. Fort in a quarrelsome mood. He and Mackey got into a fight that continued outside the bar and into the street. Peters' death raised the traffic toll so far this year to 29, compared with 18 at this time last year.
