EIGHTY-EIGHT MURDERS
BRIGANDS’ ALLEGED CRIMES Reed. 10.30 a.m. ATHENS, Sunday. A detachment of police has gone to Varna, the Bulgarian Black Sea port, to extradite three survivors of a Greek band of brigands, allegedly guilty of 88 murders and of terrorising the countryside around Janina for years. It is further alleged that early in 1928 they attacked a mail van, killed the eight attendants, and stole a considerable sum of money. They were arrested at Athens, but escaped after killing three detectives and subsequently established a lucrative grain merchants’ business in Bulgaria before their second arrest.
