f1ttsOurg, Oct. 12.-Chief County
Detective George HI. Wagg. ner yester-
day sent Detectives Phillips and Nc
lntosh to Mount Pleasant to be on the
lookout for Martin Shulick, who killed
his wife yesterday morning at their
home. in Charlton. Shulick has $500
deposited in q bank at Mount Pleas
ant. II he follows the habits of Poles,
Chief Waggoner reasons, he will call
at Mount Pleasant for the money be-
fore attempting to escape from the
country. He also has $500 in Clair
ton bank, near the scene of the kill
ing, and this is guarded, too.
Guard Many Points.
Many other points are guarded. He
has not drawn his pay from the Car
negie Steel company and the county
sleuths last night are said to have
discovered several new clews. One
story given them was that Shulick
boarded freight in Charlton, rode a
few miles below the town, alighte i
and hid in swampy part of the
woods. The Clarion police and coun-
ty men examined the ground, but
found no trace of the fugitive.
Chief Wag~oner's investigation yes
terday developed the fact that Shulick
was desperate through his failure to
ascertain the name of the man Of
whom he was jealous. He is also said
to have been unable to secure evil
dence against his wife, but the sim
pie suspicion is believed to have in
famed his mind more and more until
hime to the deed for which he is now
hunted.
Was Insanely Jealous.
When Shulick became afflicted with
the haunting phantom Of rival is not
known, but for weeks. he had gone
about the vicinity Of his home in First
street. Charlton, seeking "tlle man.
Neighbors told the detectives they
found no reason to suspect Mrs.
Shulick, and Josephine, their 7-year-
old daughter, knew of no cause for
her fathers jealousy.
And the wife pleaded innocence
when he accused. He spent hours at
the time striving to wiring from her a
secret she swore she did not possess.
At times the frantic man, bursting
from a spell of tactiturnity, is said to
have turned upon her and shouted: /:
what is his name? I want to know
his name"
SOftened by Children.
She could not divulge the name of
specter that was real only to her
husband, and told him so. On these
occasions little Josephine and the
other children, Helen. aged 4. and
Emma, aged 1, would become fright
ened and cry. Their tears would
soften tne;r father and lie would lapse
into silence. Not always. though. for
the wife sometimes complained to the
police, whom she consulted more for
advice than to invoke the law. When
Chief Carbaugh suggested that she
make an information she refused, al
though she said Shulick became SO
violent at times that he beat her.
At lunch Friday, according to jose
phine, Shulick again broke out. This
time he would not be silenced by his
children's tears. He was determined
to get the name of ''the man." In
stead of returning to work at the
furnaces, he put his wife through a
distressing and gruelling cross-exam-
ination. All the afternoon he stormed.
Prayed Before Murder.
When night came Mrs. Shulick put
the two younger children to bed in an
adjoining room and Josephine crept
into her mothers bed. Shulick sat at
d table and read his prayer book by
the dim light of an oil lamp. Sup
posing the row was over, Mrs. Shulick
lay down alongside of Josephine.
Shultck prayed all night. Until
or o'clock the woman watched him
from the bed, but at last, assured of
peace by his silence, fell asleep. jose
phine was more suspicious and re-
mained awake.
Commits Deed at Dawn.
Just as dawn was breaking, the
child said. her father arose. dressed
and went into the kitchen. He re-
turned in a few moments with q
heavy griddle. advanced rapidly to
the bed anG struck his wife a terrific
blow on the head. Josephine cried
out, but Shulick struck his wife again.
