Original text

Two States Watch For a Murderer. Jersey City, New Jersey; October 11, 1926. (Associated Press) While detectives kept vigil today at a certain room in a sordid section of Brooklyn, N.Y., hoping a murderer would come home, Hudson county was also scoured for "Joe," sometimes known as "Tony." Joe stabbed Felix Susczesny [sic] fatally last night and then plunged his knife into Andrew Zuilkowski. Whereupon he fled, and the few frightened men and women police questioned could not even give his full name. The three men drank together in a Steuben street speakeasy. Joe refused to pay for his "round," police were informed. Mrs. Sophia Rodztewlcz, tending bar threw them out. Then the stabbing took place. Felix lived nine hours, Andrew probably will recover. Police raided the place a few hours later and arrested Sophia's husband, John, on a charge of selling liquor. They also seized a varied assortment of the beverages the men had been quaffing.
