Schwartz Arrested for Higamy, and
strongly Suspected of Robbery
and Murder.
CHICAGO, Dec. 6.--Henry Schwartz,
formerly of Philadelphia, is now in
the county Jail here charged with
bigamy. He is strongly suspected Of
being the man guilty of the daring
robbery OF the Rock Island express
train last March, when Kellogg Mich
olas, the express messenger lost his
life, and $37 900 was stolen from the
express company's car. Schwartz for
two years has been brakeman on the
Rock Island road. Friday night, as he
came into the depot with his train, al
officer took him by the arm and
marched him to the Harrison street
station. On Saturday he was ar
raignej for having married a wife in
Philadelphia seven years ago, and
with having married q Chicago woman
two years ago. At his own solicitation
his case was continued in $4,000 bail
until December IA. At first he main.
tanned a logged silence, but now
volubly alleges that the Rock Island
Company does not carc whether he
has one wife or a hundred, if he o.
some one else can be sent to the peni'
Tertiary for the robbery of the express
car. He confesses that he has spent
much more money than he has earned
or could have received from home, but
he is not ready to tell where the money
came from. As brakeman, Schwartz
was one of the crew OF the Inflated
train to which the messengers cal
was attached. No suspicion was
directed toward him at the time,
When in compliance to telegraph
instructions Schwartz was return
ing to Chicago to attend the in
quest, the conductor of the trair

which Schwartz was seated, a BLACK
hand bag, which some one had tried
to force down the closet pipe. 1

was a piece of paper that looked like
part of a check. Schwartz was notice
ably confused by the discovery. Var
