Immediately.
Find Revolver Buried.
Bogwilo was willing to help the po-
lice clear up any details of the tragedy.
He was taken by Chief of Police O Hare
to the scene of the tragedy where he
found for the officers the revolver with
which he had fred the fatal shots. He
had buried it in the ash heap at the
rear Of the home just after the shoot
ing. He made no attempt to tell where
he had hidden during the three hours
,, that the police had searched the city
and was very reticent in talking of
the affair. It IS believed that he will
have some statement to make later in
the day. He is now held at the County
Jail awaiting preliminary hearing in
the Municipal Court.
Talks to District Attorney.
| This morning BogwiIo told the story
/ of the tragedy to District Attorney
Peter Fisher, Jr., when he was seen at
the cell in the county Jail. His story
in the main was very similar to that
told by the children and neighbors.
Bogwilo said that he had secured the
revolver in Chicago several weeks ago
and had carried it because Of fear that
Big Frank might kill him. He said
that he had been in the garage at the
rear of the home Sunday afternoon and
when he went into the house, his wife
had begun t. quarrel with him over
their domestic troubles,
BogWilo said that she recalled an in
cident at Bonds Woods and that she
talked about the divorce proceedings
and the arrangements for the division
of the property. Then she insisted
upon BogWilo leaving the house in
order that she might 60 on the auto
mobile trip.
When the man came for her, she
opened the door and walked out J. said
Bogwilo, II got mad then, pulled the
revolver out of my pocket and shot. !"
District Attorney Fisher said that he
expected to have him arraigned in the
Municipal Court this afternoon.
Was Good Workman.
Jealousy appears to be the cause Of
the tragedy Sunday afternoon. Bog
wllo was an excellent mechanic and
was well known at the Nash Motors
Company. He came to America many
years ago from Austria where he had
once served in the army Of Emperor
Joseph. He was mil hammered man
but was desperately in love with his
wife and his children. He very rarely
drank, never gambled and had spent
nearly all of the large wages that he
made in caring for the children.
The first intfmation of trouble came
several months ago when Mrs. Bog
wilo fled the claim in the divorce courts
|charging her husband with cruelty and
ne fled q cross complaint charging in
fidelity. It is saiS that Bogwilo had
made every effort to bring about
reconciliation with his wife and even
during the time that they have not
lived together had provided well for
the children.
In Police Court Recently.
The tragedy was not entirely unex-
pected by the police. Only recently
the BogwfTos had been iii court over q
quarrel which had occurred in Bonds
Woods. AT tha5 time ii was brought
out that BogwiIo had found his wife
in the company with the man known
as big Frank in the park. When
Bogwilo demonstrated with his wife.
the man interferred and cruelty beat
him. This Incident had lead the 20
lice to believe that It was not the end
of the troubles but since that time
Bogwilo had quietly lived his own life
and only tried to help with the care of
the children. The, -four orphans while
they tried in every way to shield the
name of their mother, clearly showed
their affection for their father.
The "Big Frank who has featured
prominently in every appearance of the
Bogwilos in Court wa sidentified by
the court records as George Facenko.
He is not now residing in Kenosha as
a result of the Bonds Woods incident
butts said to have been a visitor in
Kenosha frequently.
ICOS wiz was Dbl dlSueQ Ill Tie MUM
cipal Court late this afternoon on
charge of murder Through his attor-
ney, R. V. Baker, he waived examina-
ton and was held without bonds for
trial at the October term of the Cir
cult Court. Attorney Baker said that
the defense would be insanity
Corner Truman T. Parker and Dis
trict Attorney Fisher were of the opin-
ion this morning that an inquest into
the shooting had been made unneces-
sary because of the fact that Bogwilo
admits firing the shots and because it
was seen by the deaughters. The flu
neral services, which will be made pri-
yate, will be held tither at the st.
Andrews Mission or at the Hansen
Chapel as soon as complete arrange
ments can be made.
