By the Associated Press DALLAS, Tex. February 26—S. P. Knox, 56-year-old Dallas real estate dealer, died late yesterday of cerebral hemorrhage, believed to have resulted from shock, shortly after Mrs. Alvie Bauman, 45-year-old widow, was found stabbed to death in her home. Knox was married and the father of several children. A blood-stained pocket knife and watch found near Mrs. Bauman’s body were identified by police_as belonging to Knox. Miss Cora Lee Payne, an oc- cupant of the house in which Mrs. Bauman lived, said Knox was at the house when Miss Payne left in the afternoon. Mrs. T. W. Matejka, a neighbor, told detectives she heard screams. Detectives sought a motive, saying they were convinced Knox was the slayer. i S. P. Knox, jr, and a maid found Mrs. Bauman’s body. The younger Knox said he went to Mrs. Bauman’s house to get his father'’s watch after Knox had_come home without it. Justice Ben Fly returned a verdict that Mrs. Bauman's death was due to stab wounds, homicidal.
