Show GIO MURDERER WASJi OGDEN Information, which has Just reached this city in tho form of newspaper accounts of the recent shooting of two police officers in San Francisco by a Greek leads local Greeks to believe be-lieve that Paulos Prandoegos, who shot ' down Charles F. Castor and Thomas Finnolly in cold blood Sunday morning, may have been In thlB city but a short time before he went to California. This theory Is further strengthened by the fact that tho nssassln was employed em-ployed on railroad construction work at Spring Valley, AVyo., a small town near Evnnston, for several months during the past year. It Is known that many Greeks employed on the Union Pnclflc 13 that locality were secured through Ogden employment agents. There seems to bo a general doubt among local Greeks, however, that Prandoegos Is the correct name of the man now hold for murder in San Francisco Fran-cisco Several prominent Greeks who have been engaged in the employment agency business hero were shown a plcturo of Prandoegos, and whllo none recognized tho namo as being that of any of the men they naa ueau wim, ono was reasonably certain that ho recognized by the picture a man who was In Ogden seoral woeks ago and departed for Sacramento In tho hopo of securing railroad work. It is claimed that the man arrived In San Francisco on tho Saturday previous pre-vious to the fatal shooting, which occurred oc-curred at tho Ferry building last Sunday Sun-day morning. The Condos brothers, who claimed that Prandoegos shot their uncle back In their native land, learned of tho man's presenco In San Francisco and searched all Saturday night for him. On the following morning morn-ing one of the brothers saw him buying buy-ing a ferry ticket, and. fearing ho would oludo them, asked an officer to arrest him. Then tho Bhootlng occurred. oc-curred. A local Greek, who haB met more than one thousand of his countrymen while acting as a labor agent In Og-don, Og-don, was out of the city yesterday and could not bo questioned regarding Prandoegos. Friends of this man state that If tho murderer has boon In Ogden Og-den this particular employment agent would havo met him. |
