CHICAGO SLASHER CLAIMS FIRST FA TA LIT Y:

Suspect h
CHICAGO (AP) - The "subway
slashers" who have slit the throats of a
doen people beneath the streets of
dontowni Chicago have claimed their
first fatality,, and police arrested a
suspect early yesterday carrying a
bloody knife.
the attacks have all occurred over
the past three weeks,, and the victims
have been slashed during the dark
hoUrs; when many travelers shun the
subway tunnels out of fear of violence.
THE LATEST victim, 64-year-old
Joseph Ardell; was waiting on a plat-
form at about 11:15 p.m. Wednesday
when his throat was slit by an assailant
who police said may also have robbed
hin.
Several hours after Ardell was found
dying, police apprehended 24-year-old
James Ford, who reportedly was
bothering another transit passenger.
The suspect, police said, was carrying a
knife and money, both stained with
blood.
"WHoever did this has to be insane.
This poor guy couldn't have had $5 on
him," Police Commander Paul
McLaughlin said. "He was just a
working stiff. It seems that's all they
(the slashers) are hitting - poor
people.
AUTHORITIES SAID they were
trying to summon the 11 previous vic-
tims to a lineup to see whether they
could identify the suspect.
-They also were trying to round up
transit system personnel as well as two
iuiddle-aged couples believed to have
witnessed the attack on Ardell. A ticket
agent reported that the couples,
carrying suitcases and believed to be
from out of town, came to her and told
her Ardell was lying bleeding on the
platform, but they left before police'
arrived.
 We are going through all our recor-
dsto find every witness that I can find
and every person who has been robbed
and get them to show up," said
homicide Lt. Mike Hencke.
THE ATTACKS have become known
as the work of the "subway slashers,"
but homicide detectives refused to say

eld in subw
whether there is more than one suspect
or if they believe all the attacks are
related.
The victims were stabbed in robbery
attempts during late-evening or early-
morning hours in the subway tunnels.
All the attacks were in the Loop area or
Near North Side.
All of the victims received cuts to the
throat of varying severity, and some
were robbed of cash and other items.
Two of the victims, men in their 40s,
were left in serious condition.
SINCE THE assaults began, police
have stepped up their patrols of the
subways and have started using dogs.
Capt. William Wilson said there were
witnesses who reported that two men.
approached Ardell. And authorities

ay slaying
have said the assaults may have been
committed by two South Side brothers
described as muscular black men in
their mid- to late 20s.
"I will not say they are the work of
the same man and I will not say they
are not the work of the same man or
men," Hencke said.
Police said Ardell, who walked with a
cane, may have been on his way home
f from a late-night job.
McLaughlin, who believes the attacks
are related and are the work of two per-
sons, said transit workers tried to ad-
minister first aid to Ardell to no avail.
lie said Ardell's cane and wallet were
found beside him, but it was unclear
whether anything was taken.
