 from generation to generation. the pitifuI nleading for life of a man who watched his wife shot by the hand of a rnad-naan, and bravery almost amounting to recklessness charac- terized one of the most spectacular murders ever committed in this city
 Julius Cososi, an empIoye of the American Tube 6 Stamping Co, living at g Lesko court, and his wife were almost instantly killed. shortly after six o'clock last night by Michael Far kasti of III Hancock avenue, a work CT in the Bryant Electric Co. The murderer was apprehended by Samuel. Greenbaum, a peddIer landlord who in the face of death rushed up into the room and ordered the murderer in whose hands the smoking revolver was still oufstretched towards the vic-. tirn, to lay down the weapon and sub init to arrest
 From the position of wounds. and the position of the dying man when Greenbaum rushed into the room, it is evident that Farkasti first, shot the woman and then turned the gun upon her husband who shot through the jaw sank upon his knees and begged for life. As he was in. that supp1iant position the murderer again fired, the bullet entering the shoulder As he stilr pleaded for fife. the murderer fired third time. Realizing that he must diese Csosi crawIed to the side of his wife and prayer for her soul as Greenbaunn en- tered the room. He died while Greenbaum was taking the gun from the hands of Farkasti.
 The shooting is the result Of a feud that has caused considerable quarrel fI, i past few months. On Monday Mrs. Farkasti visited the Csosi's at their residence. According to the state ment made by the murderer, the Csosi's spoke depreciatingIy of the blood in him. Csosi told his wife that if he had the same blood in him he. would return to the old country shoot. his brothers and then blow his own brains out Mrs. FarkasH returned home and told her husband about it. He brooded over this since that time and yesterday deterInined1to to visit the Csosfss and make them apologies.
 He went to work at the Bryant ETec- trfc Co. as usual yesterday morning. and returned home at noon for din- ner, but the wrong the Csosfss did him so preyed upon his mind that he was unable to return to work. In the afternoon he went to a store near the depot and purchased a .32 calfbre revolver and a supply of cartridges.
 
 dering about the town for some time decided to go to his home and de- an apology
 He arrived there about { o'clock. and as he entered the door he alleges that Csosi and his wife rushed at him over the head and his wife scratching his face. The new Insult enraged him. He sprang to the side Of the room, and before he could be. stepped drew his revolver and taking quick aim shot Mrs. Csosi through the head, and while the distracted hus-s band was pleading over Mrs. Csosiss 1ifeless body, shot him again and again
 Samuel Greenbaum, a pedd1er who lives on the ground floor, was sitting at the supper table when he heard the shots. Rushing up the stairs, he burst into the Csosi apartment. and found Farkasti standing over the bodies of Csosi and his wife. the snok- ing weapon held in his hand Farlas- Ii did not see Greenbaum enter the room. He stood as if in a trance,t looking down at the two whom he had murdered
 Taking the situation in at a glance. IGreenbaum quickly placed his right hand at his hip pocket, and demand i ed the murderer to give up his weap- on. He had no gun himself but he saw that the only way was to intirnf- date the now half crazed man. At first F'arkasti looked at Greenbauzn and started toward the table in the middle of the room to which Greer baum pointed. Once he stopped and raised the weapon, but, Q command from Greenbaum caused the nurd derer to hesitate and he laid the revolver upon the table.
 Greenbaum marched the man out of the house and down the street to the yFhird Precinct police stationA KEe created a mild sensation when he ap- preached the desk. saving, ssTl1is man just killed two people in my house, and hurry call was sent for the ambulance Dr. Beaudry responded land after an examination of the bod ies declared death had in both cases been almost. instantaneous Medical Examiner Garlfck was notified, and gave permission to remove the bodies to the morgue. The murderer was transferred to police Headquarters where a statement was secured from him with the aid of court inter- preter.
 In his statement Farkasti declares that the feud had it's origin last De ceInber when he refused to buy sCsosi's furniture when the latter intended go- ling to Europe. III feeling sprang uu because of this, and the Farkasti's thought it better to move to Hancock avenue The two families were still on visiting terms and the wives were often out together. Recently Mrs. Farkasti began telling of many ur- pleasant things that Csosi said about his brother-iR-1aw.
 When questioned last night the mur- derer was unconeerned and did not seem to realize the enor1nity of the crime several times he asked f1is questioners how his victims were. When told he seemed uncor4eerned and
