Polish Dude" Den d.

Pit'sburg, Pa, Jan. IL
Michael Rulinski, known as the
polish dude, who stranRled his
wife to death and then set fire to
the body and house to cover the
crime, committed suicide some
time last night by struggling him
self with a BEDFORD taken from
his bed in the county Jail. Ruin
ski was under sentence OF death
for the murder of his wife, but
the date of execution had not been
fixed. Since his conviction he
frequently asserted he would
never hang. Previous to his
wife's death his baby died under
suspicious circumstances, and he
WAS accused of killing it, bat the
authorities were unable TO fssten
the crime upon him. Rulinski
was well educated, always dressed
in faultless attire and was said to
have been a black sheep of a
Polish royal family.
