| tin box affair, to this city, and it re- mained in the baggage room while she spent the day in the railroad station, waiting for her husbands return till nightfall. Tn the trunk was a pass
 book on the Salem, Mass, savings l bank, with credits amounting to $236, | and also draft on a Choicopee bank for $360. She had, a purse with SIS | in her bosom
 l Towards night all Marock returned she says, with a companion she knew as Sid" Sid is believed to be none other than the fellow prisoner of Ma rock. under the name of BartOni Las Xxi. The three boarded a train for Fairfield, leaving the trunk in this city, reached the town at 6:0S. They started walking through the country, she says trudging through the snow drifts in a territory with which she
 was wholly unfamiliar, her husband
 representing he had business there.
 Reaching desolate section, she says the men without warning attacked ! her, choked her and beat her into in i sensibility. The next she remember ed is the chill of the well water rous- l ing her from her, insensible condition, l She heard her husband and his com
 rade at the top of the well, saw them 1 peer down, and begged them to help
 her. For reply they sent a shower of snow over the crub, and then van- l ished.
 The well is on a hill of al farm | occupied by William Ferris, well
 known teamster of Fairfield, on the l Mill Plain road, not far from the l Greenfield Hill country clubs home. Ferris feared the pipe running from the well to his home would freeze in the intense cold, and on retiring Sat- urday night left the water running
 to prevent the bursting of the pipes, l Sunday at 10 o'clock he and his son ' uya 1ch drif n Up to see how far it had been depleted | during the night, and on nearing the | excavation heard the moans of the won an. The well is a big excavation, seven feet in diameter, and 28 feet deep. A coating of ice had formed over it, and the snow. drifting in had
 banked up in sort of wall extending up several feet above the icy rim. Ferris heard the cries of the girl as he approached, and hurrying to- the edge, he saw the girl, clinging to the pipe and crying from exhaustion and girl, who was able to talk despite her awful experience, and while his wife telephoned to neighbors to summon help, he rigged up an improvised der- rick.
 He tossed rope down to the girl, waist lest the thin ice upon which she was standing should give way. Then he succeeded in hauling her up | to the level, and he and others car ried her to the Ferris house, 900 feet l distant Mrs. Ferris removed the woman's frozen garments, wrapped her in blankets and bathed her swol- len limbs first in cold water, and then | in camphor. Dr. J. l.. Hetzel of ] Southport soon arrived, and he took charge of the sufferer. On his ad- vice she was later removed to St. Vincent's hospital.
 The girl told her story to the Fer ris family and sympathizinz neighbors who gathered to render what assist ance they could. She said she was 26 years old, her maiden names was An nie Moskil. and she was a native of Poland. She was not anxious to mar ry right away, but Marock insisted and on Thursday they went from Chi copee to Hartford, where "a lawyer" she said, probably a justice-of-the- peace, had welded them. They spent the night in Hartford, and returned to Springfield Friday. She returned to Chicopee to get her belongings, and he and his companion met her late Friday night in Springfield. They boarded a very late train, reaching Bridgeport about 5:30 and the two men set out leaving her in the sta- ton.
 When they returned late in the afternoon they said they were going to visit cousin of Marock, who was employed on the place of very rich man near Fairfield. She bought the three tickets, and they reached Fair l field at 6:0S. When they crossed a 1 little bridge near the Ferris home, a mile from the Fairfield depot, they took a back road skirting the Ferris | place, and led the girl through lots. | When they reached the side of the | we'll they attacked her. She says her I,,,- of% fr0 from her, tried to throw her down | the well, but failed, and then turn l ing to his companion, asked for help. | The comrade refused for moment, | then seized the girl and threw her over the edge of the yawning hole. | She broke through the ice, but crawl ed back upon it, and cried for help. Friday morning MT. Ferris had used | a kerosine torch to thaw a pipe con- | meeting the we'll with his house, and | it was covered with oil smoke. In | her efforts to climb out on the pipe | the girls hands and face were so badly begrimed that she was first L thought to be a negress when her \ rescue was effected.
 As she told Ferris her story, and | recounted the contents of the trunk she said her trunk check was gone | along with the purse her husband had | torn from her. He at once called | Selectman Fox by telephone, inform ed him of the crime, and gave him | the girls story. Fox notified the | local and county authorities, and | work of pursuing the two men was soon under way.
 Ferris says he could plainly see the | tracks of the three people approaching the we'll through the snow drifts. The | tracks of the woman could be plainly discerned in the snow, much smaller than those of the men, and at the | brink could be seen the evidences of the struggle.
 The police are confident the two prisoners, or one of them at least, is thoroughly familiar with the neigh borhood in which the crime was com mitted, and believe that the long ab- sence of the two from the young wife | is to be explained in their looking over the ground to see that there was nothing to interfere with their dis posing of the body as they had plan ned.
 eff anyone should deliver them to me with a rope around their necks and tied to an automobile, I would be satisfield," said Sheriff Hawley in conversation with Captain Boyd of | the Springfield police department over the long distance wire this morning, in talking about the successful cap- ture of the two d-be-murderers in Springfield. Later Sheriff Louis Richards broke in on the wire and
