Charged with Robbing Girl He Was to Wed

Woman Says Man Left Her, Taking Her Jewelry After Turning on Gas. Camden's police yesterday were apprised of the capture of Michael Sawicki, aged 26 years, of Eighth and Poplar streets, as a result of charges made by Miss Adella Pitkiewicz, aged 24 years, of 1126 North Eighth street, Philadelphia. The man is now locked up at Central Station pending requisition on a charge of larceny. It is alleged by the young woman that Sawicki, whom she had known three weeks, prevailed upon her to go to Camden, where he said he would get a marriage license. He took her to a furnished room house at Fourth and Washington streets and remained until Tuesday night. Then he said he had to go out for several hours. The young woman declares the man asked her for her jewelry so he would be sure she would not run away. She avers she gave him a chip diamond necklace, several bracelets and $20 in money. As he left he went toward the gas jet and the significance of this was learned later, for the young woman asserts she found the man had turned on the gas and had it not been for the windows being raised she would probably have been asphyxiated. It was when the woman of the house heard the young stranger calling for help that her plight was discovered. Detective Captain Schregler had Detective Stanley and Policeman Miloch get her story and since then a search had been made for Sawicki. His whereabouts were learned by the young woman and she quickly notified the police so that his arrest followed.
