would make her sorry"
From another source It was learned
that Mrs. Schidlofska had been griev-
ing of late because her husband wore
a woman's ring and because he refused
to tell her the name Of the woman who
owned 1t.
Mrs. Schidlofska had an aunt, Mrs.
Gervirdnian, living here. This woman
expresses the greatest establishment at
the murder. She said there never was
any cause to suspect that the couple
were not happy. At the house which
they formerly occupied in Montello it
was learned that they gave up their
rooms. last Wednesday, and packed
their goods intending to go West. AS
fas as the neighbors could tell there
had never been any trouble between
husband and wife. They say that they
departed together last Wednesday. af-
ter their household effects had been
removed.
During the forenoon Investigations in
the Polish colony disclosed evidence
that Schidlofska had been paying at
tention to woman not his wife and
that this woman. also a Russian, had
talked about going West. 1t is alleged
that Schidlofska and his wife and this
woman and her child were together in
BOSTON, Wednesday, and that they were
seen at the South station taking a
train. On the train, however, Schidlof-
ska left his wife and went into anoth-
er car with the woman and the child
whereupon, It is said. Mrs. Schidlofska
left the train and returning to the
waiting room in tears. Subsequently
Schidiofska returned to the car where
his wife, had been and not finding her
left the train to search for her. These
facts led the police here to form the
theory that Schidlofska desired to get
rid Of his wife.
Those for whom Mrs. SchidlOfska had
worked speak high of her. Mr.. Wilde
said that she was of exemplary char
acter and very careful and prudent.
This led to an investigation which re-
yelled the fact that a sum of money
which she had accumulated and which
was deposited In the Brockton Savings
Bank was withdrawn, last Tuesday,
and the account closed. The savings
bank officials decline to state what the
amount was, but according to the rules

than 5000. A friend Of Schidlofska. to-
day, said he had seen tickets for Call
fornia which the man had bought. He
understood they cost $l42. The express
man who moved the goods from the
house to the Montello railroad station
said that Schidlofska told him many OF
them belonged to Mrs. Schidlofska
which was taken as corroborating the
statement that she expected to accom-
pany her husband to the West.
The police are firmly Of the opinion
that robbery was the motive for the
murder Of Mrs. Schidlofska. Mrs.
Stephen Wilosky. Of 81 Ashworth
street, this city. with whom Mr.. and
Mrs. Schidlofska lived for three months
after their marriage. Feb. 10 last, ex-
pressed the belief that the murdered
woman had saved nearly $1,000. She
says that Mrs. Shidlofska made over
$3.50 to her husband, and that he had
frequently tried to induce her to place
all her money at his disposal.
The police have learned that Schid-
lofska shipped trunk and box to Bos-
ton and thence to Los Angeles from
Monticello, Wednesday, July IL.
