TALKS SUICIDE After Night in Long Island City Jalil She Declared She Would Kil Herself Sooner Than Re- main in a Cell. ROCHE, HUSBAND NO. 2, HUSTLES TO FIND BAIL. Defense on Trial Will Be that She Was Hypnotized and Forced Into Her First Mar- riage at Pistol Point. Margaret Familton, the girl bigamiat, of Whitestone, L. I.. wan arraigned this afternoon before Magistrate Healy the Flushing Police Court. She was in- Aicted yesterday by the Queens County Grand Jury and later arrested in her home and taken to the County Jall tn Long Island City, where she spent the aight. She was accompanied to court to-day only by her father and the detective- vergeant in whose custody she was. Not even her counsel present to dlead for her, She had spent the night n Jail weeping and shrinking from the ‘aunts of several women cell mates ac- used of e crimes, She was utterly xbausted from weeping when arralgned nefore Magistrate Healy, She almost went down on her knees to the Court, bexging that she be not sent back to « cell. She deciared sobbingly that she would commit suicide rather than suf- fer the terrible humiliation of {mprison- ment again. Neither Bridegroom in Court. Neither Frederick Kirkman, the elgh- teen-year-old boy who married the girl ‘ast Sunday, nod Edward Roahe. the young medical student she was wedded to on the following day,were in court. Young Roohe, !t was learned, was making fran- tle efforts to secure @ bondsman, In re- sponse to the plea of Mr. Familton Mag- strate Healy reduced the bail fixed last night from $1,000 to $500, Mr, Familton, however, was unable to even furnish Mat sum. He declared that he would feoure a bondsman to-morrow and grayed that his daughter be paroled in ais custody. “If she is placed in a cell again I fear that her mind will give way.” sald the father. Magistrate Healy granted the request and the young woman was pa- trolied until to-morrow, when she will be arraigned for a formal pleading. It was reported Inst night that the commitment papers upon which this strange young woman was Imprisoned were irregular, and therefore the warden of the Queens County Jail was lable to @ suit for heavy damages for making her a prisoner. The frregularity con- sisted in the fact that the papers were not signed. The District-Attorney ex- plained to-day, however, that as fas the young woman was cl the commission of a felony It made no difference whether the papers were igned or not. Husband No. 2 Hw ath. When the warrant for the girl biga- mist was issued last night her bail was fixed at $1,000. Her father and Edward Roche, the young medical student, to whom Miss Familton was married the day after she decame the bride of Fred- erick Kirkman, endeavored early to-day to secure bail as soon as the arraign- ment proceedings came up in Magistrate “S Healy's court, but falled. Young Roche is the son of a wealthy menufacturer of Cincinnati, He was a student at Foniham College for some time, but withdrew before graduating In order to study medicine. He ts now at- tached to the hospital corps at Willet’ Point. He is still ardently in love with the young woman and declares that he ‘Wil do everything In his power to make their marriage contract binding and have the earlier contract by which she ound herself for life to Kirkman set “aside.

She will have to prove these facts tn the face of a declaration by the Rev. Dr. Thorpe, who married her to Kirk- men last Sunday. Dr. Thorpe says that there was no evidence that the gir) was being forced into the marriage by threats or by any other influence which the coult not have resdily combated, Kirkman asserts he made no sucn threats and ridicules the idea that he ® Possonsed of any hypnotic powers.

MAN ACCUSED OF Girl Herself, Together with Friend Who Located Her Place of Imprisonment, Is Spirited Away from the City. All hope has been giver up >; police of punishing the man who lured pretty, alxteen-year-old Julia Unger- heur away from her place of em- ployment and kept her prisoner in a Dasnment at No. 23 Second street Adam Levinsky, the man who was accused by Julla and her girl friend Anna Weinzebneck, was acquitted in Yorkville Court because neither of the girls were on hand to testify agninst him. They had been spirited away taken to some other State, and Levin- sky walked from court happy and smiling. a free man. The experience of thee two sixteen: | year-old Russian girly proves two things. First, that the infamouw “oadet’* system ts not dead in New York. and that the “cadets have added robbery to their other ways of getting money and are responsible for many of the recent mysterious robberies have puzaled the police. Wonld Protect Her Friend. Two months ago the two girls to this country from Russia. Anna was the Barge Office by one of the and soon was leading a life that was anything but honest, Pad herself, she determined to protect Julla, Her own experienced had cost her dear. Her friend should not suffer as she bad suffered. When Julia disappeared, J. Eliner, a Gruggist, of No. 108° Stanton street, asked the police to find her. He had engaged this fresh, rony-cheeked Rus- sian girl to care for his children, liner knew whe had no friend and few ac- Quaintances in America and he feared for her safety, He had read of the “cadet system." Gearch as the police would they could wet oo trace of this girl. ‘When the police failed Anna became & detective, Night and day she watked the etreet. She was looking for Levin- sky, whom she had known, She camo upon him at last going to his home in the early morning, She saw him enter the basement at No. 23 Second street, and, listening, she heard the voice of a kirl and recognized !t as that of Julia. ‘When the police came, sent by Capt. Mobermott, of the Fifth street etation, they found Julia in a pitiadle state Levinsky, protesting Innocence, was ar- rested, and next day in Yorkville Court pleaded not guilty. Julla told of being lured to the base- ment at No. 2% Second street, and threatened with death by polson should she cry out for help. Anna told how she hed found her. Magistrate Breen continued the hear- ing until last Saturday, and held Le- vinsky In $1,000 bail, Both Girls Missing. On Saturday it wan discovered that both girls had been spirited trom New York. Money had been sent them from some unknown source, and under threat of death they had left the city and State, Again Levinsky ssid he was innocent, that he was being persecuted and again the hearing was postponed until yester- day. “Find the witnesses," Magistrat Breen said to an Assistant District-at- torney and to Detective Keenan, who had arrested Levinaky. “This man stands eroved guilty.” Search as would the police no trace of the missing girls could be found When the case was called yesterday Levineky, smiling, confident, al- lowed to go free. 7 Levinsky 1s not the sort of man in ap- pearance calculated to fascinate women His face is pitted with emall-pox, his shoulders are stooped and his eyes are watery and greenish, that bespeak of sleepless nights and dissipation. But his manners are good, and his clothes good, and he is regarded a @ god fellow io certain quarters. Levineky hurried from the court and went to the Second street address. “You sec, 1am fn@ he told Annie Peters, a woman who occupies one of the rooms in the house. “They couldn't keep me, Sure, they couldn't. Phat Julia girl is love with me. She’ mine. She's got t to go aw: hasn't she? Here's a letter 1 just got from her. She ain't hanging around here, She's out of town.” ‘Levinaky then drew forth a letter and showed it to the Peters woman. It was from Julia, The Peters woman saw tne nature, DUt Gd not see its contents, nor did she see the postmark. With the ald of J. Eliner, the drug- gist, at No. 3 Stanton mreet, a re- porter for The Evening World to-day learned to what extremes “cadets” go to obtain a hold on young girls. Mr. Eliner also tells of the way these girls are made to commit thefts, and ail crimes by which profit can be made by the gang. “I employed Julia,” said Mr, Etiner, “when she came here s short while ago. She was pretiy and healthy, and I believed she would be a good nurse for my children, She was a good girl, too, until those cadets learned about her. You should see how they tried to en- tice her to the streets away from my house and my influence. First they would send her telegrams which were begus on the face of them.
