Two little girls, one ), the other 3
years old, sit in a tiny apartment at
% Broome street. gazing at a framed
photograph on the wall and weeping
as though their hearts would break
They are the daughters of Mrs,
Mary Berlinska, who was killed by
Adolph Kaba szewski at his apart
ment, 56 Charlton street, yesterday.
and their father has told them that
they will never see their mother again.
Six months ago Mrs. Berlinska left
her husband and her daughters Fam
ny and Jennie, TO live with Kabas-
zewski. so neighbors of the man say.
When the little girls missed their
mother their father, Alexander Ber-
linska assured them
Shell be back soon; don't worry
Time and time again Berlinska,
who is said to have known where his
wife was. but who hesitated to act
because of his children. has had to
repeat these hopeful words as his
little daughter have lisped out
why don't mamma come home?"
But last night, Berlinska, himself
overwhelmed with grief could not
keep from his children longer their
y
which happened yesterday when the
man who had taken her from her
horne, put a bullet in her and then
turned his revolver on himself.
"Your mama won't be back again."
Berlinska told the two wondering
children. "She's dead, but papa will
look out for YOU
Since then the children have been
inconsoable. The one memento of
their mother they have, outside of a
few articles of clothing She left be-
hind when she fled, is a single photo
graph of her taken of her in her
wedding dress. Before this shrine
the children have been IL fearful
worship all day.
To an Evening Star reporter, who
called at the Berlinska home today,
the father said that the picture of his
wife will always remain sacred to
his children.
"They will know her as their
mother who died. he said. nothing
more | shall never tell them why
she did not come back, and | shall
take them away from here before
they are old enough to learn any
thing about my wife's fate from
neighbors."
Adolph Kabszewshi, 2S years old.
who shot the woman, is in a critical
condition at the City Hospital from
his self-inhicted wound. Last night
he confessed to Plainclothesmen
Kaas and Cort, of the Fourth pre-
cinct, that he had murdered Mrs.
Berlinska, AS he told the story, the
shooting of the woman and his own
attempt at suicide was the sequel to
quarrel which started when Mrs.
Berllnska threatened to leave him
and return to her husband and chill
dren.
After hot words had been ex-
changed the man groaned from his
cot, Mrs. Berlinska drew a revolver
and pointed it at him. He wrested
the weapon from her grasp and fired
three shots. each taking effect. After
this, he said. he turned the gun on
himself. This story of the affair is
corroborated by the testimony of
persons living in the Charlton street
house.
Mrs Berlinska had first attempted
to break the ties that bound her to
her murderer when she left him last
MonGay and met her husband at her
home Berlinska agreed to forget
what she had done and to receive her
back for the sake of his children.
1t was not until yesterday that the
woman had courage enough to break
this news to Kabaszewski, and she
now lies dead as a result
Other stories of the murder than
that given by Kabaszewski are told
by persons whom the police have
questioned. Mrs. Susan Szaybkowska,
of 230 Springfield avenue, refuses to
believe that Mrs. Berlinska threat
ened the man with a revolver before
she was shot. She told the police to-
day that KabaszewslSi had told her
only yesterday that he intended to
kill Mrs. Berlinska If she adhered TO
her intention of returning to her hus-
band.
The recovery of Kabaszewski is
doubtful If he does leave the hos
pital, however, he will be immediate
