nue.. on this theory the sleuths of the

on the reports OF trouble between Mano
and them over Manos making misrepre-
sentation with regard 10 a candy store ne
sold the Greeks The Greeks described
themselves as George Capenake and John
Brandrakes.
The police base their suspicion against
these two men on the bit OF gossip that
was brought 10 them by T.. B. Goddard OF
455 West Twenty first street who assert
ed that he has overheard a certain Greek
restaurant keeper by the name OF Demos
say that he would be willing to give ca
penake and Brandakes all the money they
wanted TO run down and punish i'm their
own way Jack Mano.
Goddard was taken to tho morg1ie,
where he Identified the sack I'm which the
body was found as being one from Mano's
shop. lie also viewed the remnants of
the body OF the murdered man and said
he believed that IL was the body OF Mano.
Capcnakc and Brandakes. when ques-
toned. said that Mano had defrauded
them out Of $500. They denied they had
ever asked Demos TO help them get
Mano. or that Demos had ever volunteer
cd 90 assist them I'm getting revenge on
the man for the deceit he has practiced
upon them.
Demos last night denied that he had
ever made the statement credited to him
