VICTIM STABBED TO DEATH IN
THE STREET AS A RESULT
01‘ A STRIKE 1N THAT
CITY.
STAMFORD, Feb. 23. —Theodoras
Manox, a Greek, aged about 45, was
the victim of a fatal stabbing alfray
and his assailant, John Kostos, another
Greek, is under arrest for the crime.
The murderer practically confessed. to
the deed after he was arrested.
The affair took place at 7:30 o’clock
last night as Manox was walking on
Manhattan street. Kostos came along
in' the opposite direction and without
Stabbed
Manox four times. One wound was
in the left arm, two in the abdomen
While the other one was in the right
breast, near the shoulder. This last
wound was the fatal one, as an artery
was severed and Manox' died 15 min-
utes later. The murderer fled, but an
hour later was caught by Police Offi-
cers James Lunn‘ey and Michael Galo
as he was walking leisurely along Mill
Both men had been employ ed in the
.fur shop of Jonas & Naumbe1 g, and
Manox was the leader of a strike which
1 1:1 we?"
took place there sometime ago. It is
said that since then there has been ill
feeling between the two men.
When the stabbing took place there
were many people on the street who
were witnesses of it and word was at
once telephoned to the police who lost
no time in acting. A good description
of Kostos was given and with this the
police were soon able to land him:
When brought to the police station
the murderer appeared to be very in-
diflerent and said:
“I tell you What it is, he hit me and
I hit him and I don’t .care if I am elec-
trocuted. ” _ . 1' I»
The murder created a great deal of
excitement all about-"3the city, follow-
ing as it does so closely another fatal
affray between the fereign element here
and for which crime an Italian named
Vaccaro is now awaiting trial befo1'e,.fi~'
the superior' c‘dii'rt‘ou acharge b‘f“m1‘i1-"z

Kostos will probably be arraigned be-
fore the city court for a hearing. ' as
