Stableman Kills Capitalist in San Jose Shooting
In San Jose California on October 26 Manuel Garcia, a stableman, killed Simon Romero of Monterey, a capitalist, and wounded Miss Belén Quezeda daughter of Francisco Quezeda, a minor Costa Rican official. Miss Quezeda’s life was saved when Mrs Ampreo Zelldon, a Costa Rican guest, leapt onto the assailant as he struck her.
