Flees to District Attorney
Whitman's Office.

Peter Madden. charged with robbery,
escaped twice yesterday from under the
noses Of the officials at the Yorkville po-
lice court The first time he mingled with
the crowd in the courtroom and calmly
walked out.

the police, was charged with robbing Mrs.
Archie Ingram, collector for the Phipps
model tenements, last Saturday. She
identified him as the robber, on which
he called on all the saints to witness that
he was innocent
After making his first escape Madden
rushed into the District Attorneys office
exhausted. i've got to see Mr. Whit
man" he painted. ITS matter OF life
and death.
Assistant District Attorney Colnan ard
Lloyd Willis. the District Attorneys sec
rotary, took him in charge and listened
to his story. After being assured that ne
would not be convicted if innocent. he
agreed to 60 back TO court. Deputy Com
missioner Rubin sent a detective 10 escort
Madden back.

detention pen to await his arralSn-
ment on a charge not only of robbery
but also of escaping from the custody OF
the police Madden, who is slender and
extremely agile, clambered up the net
work of iron bars. squeezed through
narrow space at the top Of the window
and dropped into the magistrates private
hallway.

the largest deposits in its history. This
increase is said TO be surprising on ac-
count OF the letting down in business. but
The effect Of this is expected after the
fret of the month, when II is thought
Withdrawals will be heavy.
Because OF the rise in market value OF

SPURNED, He KILLS
MARRIED WOMAN
Then Man Faces Crowd and
Shoots Himself-Victim's
Husband Near.

In front of a crowd Of people, who
had been listening to the quarelling'
Alexander Kramski fired two shots
into the breast Of Mrs. Anna Rafalo-
wicz at Wythe av. and Grand st.
Williamsburg, last night, and then. as
men sprang toward him, put bullet
into his own right temple and fell
diving across the body of the woman
who had just refused to leave her
husband for him.
Mrs. Rafalowicz was the wife OF
Kuzma Rafalowicz, an employe Of the
Department of Docks, living at IS
Grand st. She was a handsome Rus
sian, thirty-hve years old. Kramski,
also a Russian. was infatuated with
her.
a few moments before he shot the
woman. he was heard TO beg her 20
fee with him.
Kramski. who was thirty-eight years
old was janitor at 297 Kent av, Will
iamsburg. Three weeks ago he sent
his wife with their five small children
back to Russia to spend the summer
with her people. Since then he had
been annoying Mrs. Rafalowicz and
her husband had warned him to keep
away.
Rafalowicz. who was in his home,
heard the shots and ran to the street.
He had no suspicion il was his wife
who had been shot. He was one in
more than a thousand people rushing
to the spot. and with them was driven
back by the police
When Rafalowicz heard some woman
scream that it was pretty Mrs. Rafa!o-
wicZ who had been shot dead, he
franticaly burs through the crowd
The police had difficulty in restraining
him until Kramski had been lifted into
the ambulance and driven away TO
Williamsburg Hospital. Rafalowicz
vowed he would kill the slayer
Two years ago, before his family
came from Europe Kramski boarded
with the Rafalowiczes. He wanted 20
return TO them after sending his wife
and children back 10 Russia last month
RafalOwicz would not have him.
Last night Mrs Rafolowicz went out
on an errand about s o'clock. Kramsli
must have been watching for her. lie
was seen TO stop her on the north
east corner Of Wythe ave. and Grard
ST., in sight OF her home.
Among those who saw the pair was
Hyman Tomerantz, Of 1868 Brook av.,
Bronx, who was going 10 visit his
fiancee. He heard the woman upbraid-
ing the man for forgetting his wife and
little ones.
When Tomerantz saw the revolver
he sprang toward Kramskf The woman
fell at his feet. Before Tomerantz and
others could grab the man, Kramsld
threatened them with the revolver.
They halted for an instant, and as they
did so Kramsld fired. the bullet enter
ing his temple.
