Mrs. Jane Root made the charges at an inquest into the deaths of Mrs. Hazel Beckner Root, believed to have been the fugitive’s most recent wife, and her daughter, Hazel, 10. They were killed a week ago when Root’s automobile plunged 30 feet from a railroad viaduct. Police said they had learned Root fled from the scene of the crash, reg- istered under a false name at a hos- pital for treatment of minor injuries, and did not attend the funerals. ‘There were life insurance policies to- taling $5,000 on the lives of Mrs, Root and her daughter, relatives said. Mrs, Jane Root said she married Root five years ago in Blue Island, & Chicago suburb, and that they never were divoreed. She said he tried sev- eral times to end her life in automo- biles, on one occasion steering his car over an embankment near Spencer, Ind Each time, she said, Root. leaped from the car in time to escape but she suffered serious injuries in one acci- dent. He told her, she related, he had escaped from the federal peniten- tiary at Leavenworth, Kas, and that previous wife and her mother were killed in the crash of an automobile he was driving. Root deserted her a few months after their marriage, Mrs. Jane Root said, adding that she believed he had been married “at least several times since then without ever obtaining a divorce.” She said he told her: he had been married at least three times before he wed her and that one of the wives lived in Greencastle, Ind., under the name of Rootkowski, his right but seldom-used name, Lynner, Thoresen, Langer Pushed for Governor’s Fight (Continued from page One) tures on petitions for the initiative and referendum.
