The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1910-01-26

Through the first meeting yesterday at St. Vincent's Hospital of the sec ond and third wives of Jan Jankiewicz. the alleged would-be murderer of wife fNo. 8, Annie Moskil, wife No. 2 was persuaded for the first time of the No. 2 even now expects to become mother of the prisoners first born.
 Before meeting Annie Moskil, wife No. ? went to the county jail to see her husband Both broke into tears on the meeting, but relentless iron bars and closely woven steel screens pre- vented their embracing, or even so much as kissing.
 Present at the interview was Inter rreter August Bril- who has rendered valuable assistance to Sheriff FHawley and his deputies during the investiga- ton of the crime and career of Jan- kiewicz, alias Marock and his alleged aeconplice Bartoni Lasd.
 That Jankiewicz comes of family of considerable standing in Poland, and erab1e property came to the knowledge of the authorities yesterday, when it was learned. that young woman of Stafford Springs, Conn.,. has been des- patched by the up State authorities to Poland to have interviews with wife No. 1 and the father of the accused Marock.
 It is said that wife No. 1 was lured aboard a ship bound for Europe by Marock, alias TJankiewicz, and aban- doned as the ship left port, Jankiewicz fleeing with all her money. variously estimated at from $700 to $1,000. That 3 settlement was effected by payment I 111,r of Ixx !, father of the prisoner to .thes deceived girl is the story that has prompted the Stafford authorities to look into the European end of Jankiewicz' ope- rations.
 When, Deputy sheriffs Burr and Richards visited the home of Mrs. Jankiewicz in Ludlow and found there xii, they disclosed the story of the crime and the arrest of Jankiewicz and Laski. Mrs. Jankiewicz refused to believe them, She asked the off cers if she might visit her husband, and they told her they would let her know.
 Sheriff Hawley was not averse to al- lowing her to see Marock. and yester- day in response to a. letter from h. terpreter Brill, she, accompanied by a man living near her home in Indian Orchard, arrived here late in the aft ernoon They looked up Brill and went with him to the county jail.
 Marock was led into the cage-1ike corridor, to the massive and closely woven screen. through which persons visiting the jail are allowed to con- verse with inmates. <
 At sight of her husband, she broke into tears.
 .'Oh. Johnny, Johnny, what have you done?, she asked in Polish.
 ssJOhunU'' made no roSnnnSp bntr set up an accompanying vail. Crying, by the way, is an accomplishment in which Marock should take considerable pride. for he has wept and walled on he slightest provocation since his ar rest.
 Johnny soon recovered his composure enough to declare he was innocent that he had not married Annie MOskil in Hartford, and that the whole thing was pack of lies.
 The woman appeared to believe him, and on Sheriff. Hawley's arrival at the jail she expressed a wish to see the woman they said was in the hospital wife.
 Sheriff Ha wley Brill, the woman and her escort went to St. Vincent's Hos pital, where they found Annie Moskil apparently in tbe best of health save for the heavy bandages that still en- women were introduced by Sheriff Hawley Then they exchanged notes about the prisoner. and after a few moments wife No. 2 said she was con- vinced of the perfidy of her husband.
 Wife No. has admitted to the au- thorities that she heard of the hus- lands abandonment of wife No.-1, but not until she had been married for some time to the prisoner. She un- derstood some sort of settlement had heen effected between the victim and the father of her husband, hence the silence of the girl on her returning to her native lan1.
