MOTHER SAVED
THREE CHILDREN
Murderous Husband Wanted
to Kill the Witnesses OF
His Crime

Philadelphia, Aug. 20.-While three
children. whose lives he had threat
ened only a moment previously look
ed on, Bartho Bednarsky, 40 years
old. formerly of this city but recently
of Buffalo, N. Y, shot and killed his
wife. Margaret, 80 years old, today in
her apartments at S27 North Franklin
street, and then placed the muzzle
of the revolver into his own mouth
and ended his life.
That the lives of the children were
spared, was due to the heoism of their
mother, Mrs. Mamie Willchinzsky,
Mrs. Bednarsky's most intimate friend
who was in the apartments during the
quarrel between the man and his wife,
which proceeded the shooting
AS the crazed man rushed toward
her three children. Lilly. years old;
Stanley, years old, and Stephana,
10 years old. with "A calibre revol-
yer pointed at them and with his lips
muttering wild curses. Mrs. Willchin-
zsky rushed to meet him, to save her
children, if possible, and struck his
arm terrific blow The man lost
his balance and fell sprawling to the
floor.
In the next instant he had regained
his feet and. Tightening the clutch
on the revolver, rushed into an ad-
joining room. where his wife stood
trembling. Without warning he rails
ed the big revolver and pulled the
trigger twice. The woman sank to
the floor. blood flowing from wound
in the left side near the heart and
from her head. AS she fell an image
of the Virgin Mary crashed to the
floor and was covered by the blood
of the dying woman.
With maniacal laugh the murder
er turned and looked at his wife and
then glancing toward the children
walked calmly back into the kitchen
in the rear of all the apartments.
They followed. and peering in the op-
en- doorway, saw him put the barrel
of the gun to his throat and pull the
trigger. The bullet came otu through
the top of his head.
The shooting created a panic in the
dwelling, which Is used as an apart
ment house, conducted by John Social

men and children. and at the report
Of the three shots and the screams
Of the women and children in the
room there was mad stampede for

both had died instantly. Their bodies
were removed to the morgue.
Fear of falling prey to the law and
the inability to persuade his wife to
flee with him to escape punishment
was responsible. according to the
dead woman's friends. for the tragedy.
The shooting ended a tempestuous
matrimonial life of the Bednarskys.
Panic In House.
Ten years ago Margaret Bednarsky
came to this country to begin life
anew and for herself. She left behind
her husband, prisoner in a Russian
Jail. Stung with the disgrace and
humiliation of such an experience,
the woman, who was essentially hon
est and religious, decided to take
drastic step and leave him forever.
He followed four months ago. upon
being released from prison. where he
served term for robbery. He came
to this city, played upon her pity,
made vigorous protestations of his de-
sire to live a better life and secured
her consent to return to him.
The provision which she made was
that he should find work. She at the
time was supporting herself through
work In a restaurant. He went to
Buffalo and wrote her that he had OBJ
tained employment. She went there
only to find that he did not have any
work. and what was more tragic to
her he had gone back to his old life
of lawlessness, only few days pre-
viously having held up a man and
robbed him of s132.
Heartbroken and discouraged, the
woman made her way back to this
city and took up her own life. I'M
ploring letters poured in upon her
from her husband. but she remained
immovable. Finally he wrote that
he was in a tight place in Buffalo
and that he was going to slip away
and come here He warned her that
if she did not receive him he would
kill her.
He arrived early today, simultan-
eously with one of the victims whom
! he had robbed. Carroll Fabian, who
1t is alleged, Bednarsky robbed, had
trailed him from Buffalo here and
when the shooting occurred was at
the city hall. then swearing out a
warrant for his arrest, on the charge
of highway robbery.
Intercepts Wife.
Mrs. Wellchinzsky says that Bed
narsky knew that he was trailed and
in hot water. He went to the apart
ment house at 5 o'clock this morning,
and after failing to obtain admittance,
hid in the neighborhood until his wife
emerged to go to work. Then he ac-
costed her.
She was badly frightened and under
threats returned to her apartments ON
the third floor of the house. The hus-
band stormed; the wife remained
dumb. To his declarations that he
would kill her unless she took her
savings and fled with him she said
nothing. Not until he attacked her
motives did she speak. and then she
blazed forth in passionate outburst.
| The fury of the woman first startled
the man and then maddened him fur
ther. He whipped from his pocket
the revolver.
He did not turn his weapon first
upon the object of his rage, but upon
the children. innocent witnesses Of
the entire scene. His object at first,
1t is believed, was to kill the chill
dren and their mother and thus get
out of the way all the witnesses to
the Staying of his wife.
