been heard of the couple until word
came of their arrest in Rochester.
When they had been missing for
week the police were notified. Then
it developed that Krumich had been
removing his clothes to his mother S
home on the pretext of having them
washed or mended. The HUM girl
was known to have worn another
dress under the black dress she wore
when she disappeared. The fact that
she wore a white fur about her neck,
although the weather was warm, at
tracted her mothers attention, but
the girl offered no explanation.
Krumich was employed as ship
ping clerk in an Irvington plant, and
the day he disappeared told his wife
that his pay had been held up. The
parents of Krumich and the HUM
girl We're questioned after their dis
appearance, but maintained they
knew nothing of the elopers' plans.
Miss HUM was also reported to be
engaged to John Eckenbush, of this
city, but the wedding was postponed
on account of Illness. Eckenbush had
given the girl a diamond engagement
ring.
After Krumich disappeared his wife
went to live with her mother, Mrs
Elizabeth Bokofzer of All Eighteenth
avenue. Krumich was married in
Harrison in 1911. His wife was
formerly Miss Anna Sherry. The
marriage took place against the
wishes of Krumiehs parents, and it
is said the religious differences be-
tween the two families continued up
to the time that Krumich disap-
peared.

RUSSIAN MUSIC
WON W|FE'S HEART
Ex-Columbia Professor Sued
for Alienation by Former
Jerseyman.
specIal 10 the Ereninr Star.

JERSEY CITY, Aug. 20.-How a
talented Russians music broke up his
home and won his wife's affection is
dramatically told by Marshal A. Bar
ney, a New York lawyer, in his $780,
900 suit against Alexander S. Chassin
fer alternating the affections Of Bar
ney's beautiful wife, Claire Bell Bar
ney, of 10 Britton street, this city.
Chassin was formerly professor of APP
piled mathematics at Columbia and
Johns Hopkins University.
Barney alleges that Chassin won his
wife's love while they resided in
Staten Island. In his papers he does
not question the moral character of
his wife, who is now living with her
step-father in this city, but says that
her heart went out to the Russian by
degrees every time he sat down to the
piano.
In addition to the Chassin suit Bar
ney has started another suit against
his father-i n-law, george Martin, for
$1,000 He charges that Martin SLAM
dered him, calling him a crook"
THE suit is too absurd to discuss"
said Mr.. Chassin today.
Mrs. Barney prior TO her marriage
was Claire Bell s,enographer in
Barney's office. She was then nine
years her senior. Although the en-
gagement was announced during the
summer of 1907 the wedding, which
occurred early in the fall, was kept a.
secret until Christmas.
In 1911 Barney was indicted by the
Federal Grand Jury in connection
with the failure of the firm of j. c..
Gavigan & Co, which was raided in
the Marbridge building by postoffice
inspectors. The three members of the
firm were arrested charged with US
ing the mails to defraud. The in
spectors failed to get Barney, but he
later gave himself up and was re-
leased in $500 bail.
In 1912 a search was made for the
assets of the Long Island Realty
Company, incorporated under the
laws Of Arizona for $12,000,0 900, but
nothing tangible was discovered. 1t
developed that Barney was the presi-
dent Of the concern and that Nc
Laren was the treasurer. The firm
seemed to do a good business, but it
couldn't be established that it owned
q foot Of land.

WATCHMAN HELD
AS AID IN ROBB|NG
BROAD ST. HOME
Special Policeman Helped Burg
larry of Lang Residence,
Prisoner Confessed.

In the arrest last night of Edward
Schwartz, thlrty-one years old, of
Sixteenth avenue and Tenth street. a
special policeman, employed as a
night Waterman by a number of
wealthy residents of South Broad
street, the police have cleared up the
mystery surrounding the robbing of
the home of Mrs. ]. K. Lang, at 99S
Broad street, from which hundreds
of dollars worth of solid silyerware
and jewelry was stolen early in this
month.
| Several days ago Lieutenant Harris
and Detectives 0'Gara and Corbitt
arrested Gustave Blomberg, who says
| he lives in New York city, on sus-
picion when they found him in Mar
ket street trying to dispose of a val
liable gold bracelet After a severe
grilling, which lasted off and on for
three days, the prisoner finally broke
down and confessed that he had
robbed the Lamb home. He said that
Schwartz had been his companion in
committing the crime.
Last night Schwartz was appre-
| hended. When taken before Acting
Chief Thomas CORDIALLY and confront
ed with the confession of Blomberg
he also broke down and made COM
plete confession. He told where most
of the loot had been sold. Today he
| is accompanying the officers on a
tour of Brooklyn to point out various
|, saloons where he sold articles of sill
I verware, the jewelry having been
pledged in Newark pawn shops.
The robbery of the Lang home was
first discovered by the detectives,
who found a cellar window open.
Through this they entered the house
and found that it had been ransacked
from cellar to attic The police COM
municated with Mrs Lang, who was
summering at Asbury Park. She
came to this city and stated that all
OF the silver and jewelry which had
been left in the place was stolen.
Among the articles reported stolen
was a solid silver service, valued at
approximately $500; numerous silver
spoons, forks and knives; a quantity
by Miss Gladys M. Brown, who lived
with the Langs, was taken three gold
bracelets and two breast pins set
with diamonds and rubies.
One of the most priced articles
which was stolen was a gold mounted
walking stick, which was presented
to Mrs Lang's father in-law, former
Mayor Henry Lang, during his term
of office, 1SS2-1SS4, by the Dominican
Fathers. The police know where this
was sold, and expect to recover it
today. The silver service which was
stolen was also presented to Mayor
Lang by admirers.
Acting Chief CORDIALLY, in commend
ing the detectives for the excellent
work they had done in capturing
Schwartz and Blomberg, stated that
he expected to fasten several other
burglaries on the two men, or espe-
cially on Schwartz.
Schwartz is said by the police to
have criminal record. His picture
is in the rogues gallery, he having
been arrested on January 10, 1910, for
breaking into a clothing store in
Washington street, near Market
street. At that time he was placed
on probation for one year.

CHARGE OF
DESERTION

T. W. Foreman, undersheriff, and j.
A. Thompson, deputy sheriff, have
taken Luther Denton, charged with be-
ing a deserter from the u S. army,
into custody and are holding him for
officers now on their way to Chickasha
from either Oklahoma City or Fort

Denton, it is said, has been tempo
rarily employed here in the Rock ISL
and shops. He is an artisan of high
class and can readily secure employ
ment. During his stay in the city he
has gone under the name of James r.
Gregory.

of relief on his face corroborated his
statement.
Denton is a clean, manly looking
young fellow and his conversation re
fleets education and intelligence He
is far above the average deserter in
personal appearance, habits and ambi
tions. Why did he desert? You will
have to ask Denton.
