 Fairfield well in their possession Jo- 1seph Marock, husband of the pretty
 26-year-old victim, and his accomplice Bartoni Laski, are being hurried to
 Bridgeport on an express. train from Springfield this afternoon. They were
 captured this morning by the Spring field police, while Sheriffs Burr and Richards were watching the banks in Salem and Chicopee where the girl had money.
 Immediately on reaching this city the twain will be hustled to Fairfield. arraigned before Justice Bacon Wakeman, and Prosecuting Attorney Clitus H. King will ask that they be held for assault with intent to mur- der. It is expected that they will be taken to the next session of the crim- inal Superior court on a bench war rant. for the temper of the county officials following the discovery iof the frightful crime is such that no delay will be suffered.
 Baggage check No. 66, presented at the Springfield Union depot at 10 o'clock this morning, gave the cue to the police who waited for the ap- pearance of the. men. They were seized, hustled to police headquar- ters, and held pending the arrival of the two Fairfield county deputy sher- ifs, Louis E. Richards and David s. Burr, who had hurried to Springfield last night, found the trunk there, and the Springfield police to keep watch while they visited the ad- joining towns to cover the banks
 Sheriff Richards at once telephoned Sheriff Hawley of the fortunate out come of the chase, and later phoned second time that the, men had con Sented to waive the formallty Of reQul- sition proceedings.
 Up all night, the two deputy sheriffs had not even waited to Eeat breakfast in their anxiety to unSarth the two missing men, and they sacrificed an opportunity to return by an earlier train to get something to eat. They planned to leave Springfield at 2:20 and reach Bridgeport at 4:19.
 Baggage check No. 66 proved the ur- doing of the two men. They boue ht two tickets for Sprinfigeld at the local station Saturday evening, just before o'clock. When the girl told her story to the authorities yesterday. she said her trunk was left in the Bridgeport depot, while the two men went with her to Fairfield The police at once took up the clue and~ found on ques- tioning the baggage men the trunk was checked out for Springfield. Cap tain Arnold and Sheriff Hawley ad- vised pursuit of the trunk as the best means of tracing the men and the two deputy sheriffs set out late yesterday afternoon Nothing was heard from z111,f n'o1nok ff1iS rn- ing it was learned that their mission had been successful.
 The police and county authorities are determined to make a searching 1n- vestigation of the records of the two men. for they are convinced the whole affair was premeditated for weeks, and that the throwing of the girl into the we'll was not matter of chance, but more likely the result of well laid plan and a survey of the territory into which the unsuspecting young wife was led under cover of darkness.
 They believe the men are criminals of the worst type. and suspect that their careers, if closely followed. will disclose other crimes and the opinion is even ventured that the arrest of the two men may disclose other murder mysteries. That the men were cap- tured was due to their belief that they had succeeded in murdering the gil, and relieving that the dead could tell no tales they were not at all anxious to conceal their movements.
 The condition of the young wife is regarded as highly promising. She is resting comfortably and her unusual y robust construction will no doubt pull aer throueh her terrible ordeal. The doctors fear pneumonia as a result of exposure. but up to a late hour this afternoon no marked symptoms of the 1isease had manifested itself. They are hopeful of saving both her feet, llthoueh they are so badly frost bit ,en that it is doubtful whether she will De able to save them.
 The story told hy the girl is one of he most remarkable in the criminal 'ecords of the State She says she net Joseph Marock three months aoo. when he worked in a wire mill. She vas doing homework in Chicop e. Mass, and had been in this country or seven years. Three days ago they eft Chicopee to be married in Hart ord, Conn.,, where city official tied 1 he knot. They returned to Massa- | ,husetts, and on Saturday morning anne to Bridgeport. Her husband left ! Ter at the station saying he was go- business, before the two left for New York to board a steamer. He repre- | ented himself as the owner of small | arm across the sea, and he was go- ng to take his bride back to her na- i've home. in Poland.
