More follow- up on `Call Northside 7. His ex- wife) Helen Majczek visited Joe Majczek in jail whenever she could. They were still very much in love, but Joe convinced Helen that they had to get a divorce. For seven years Helen and her son Joey barely survived. She was still a proud woman who only accepted help from her parents when she had to. But what she needed was a man she could be with and Joe realized this. His only son needed a father. Joe wasn't due for parole until 1. After waiting seven years for her husband's release, Helen divorced Joe. A few years later she met Ed Bartosiewicz whom she later married. Several years later they had a baby girl. When Joe was released from prison in 1. Joe was not bitter. He figured he still had a life to live and would make the best of it. But time was not going to be kind to Joe. It seemed that bad luck was going to be his pal until the end. A state legislator that sponsored the $2. Joe now demanded a kickback of $5. Joe paid him the money, after he threatened to thwart Joe’s upcoming pardon from Governor Green. In June 1. 94. 8, Helen divorced Ed Bartosiewicz. Joe and Helen remarried and moved to Oak. Lawn, Illinois were they had two more sons. Joe lost several jobs when his employer found out that he had served time in prison, or never got past the interview if he mentioned his prison time to the interviewer. When he did find a decent job, he was always worried he would lose it. Joe still kept in touch with Ted who moved to California and had changed his name to Marcin. Ted later got a job driving a truck. As Joe aged, simple things gave him pleasure such as his morning visit to White Castles Hamburgers or, if he was lucky, he could slip away from the house and golf nine holes. Ed was still a part of the family and Helen. Ed’s daughter was getting bigger and Ed came around more frequently to see her. No one had asked for the way things had happened, and Joe knew Ed still loved Helen.

On special occasions, Ed would take Helen out. How can you condemn this situation? EXHIBIT: Global Prosperity Group/ Investors International (IGP) Introduction. At the bottom of multi. Helen never figured things would get this crazy with Joe’s early release from prison. This tug of war with her heart was the aftermath of a justice system that failed them miserably when they were young. Joe was now sixty- eight. One summer day, in July of 1. Walgreen’s drugstore, Joe drove past the intersection of 1. Kilbourn Street. No one knows exactly what happened, but Joe was involved in an accident that killed a young man on a motorcycle. It was a very graphic accident that really affected Joe. Afterwards, he was scared of going to the trial. He couldn't sleep at night and began to have nightmares: similar to the ones he had in jail. He suffered a mild heart attack. Within a few years, Joe became withdrawn from the world. He would look at a person, smile and ask how they were, but his memory was slipping. His symptoms resembled Alzheimer, but if you looked deep into his eyes you felt something different. Joe was taking off whenever he had an opportunity. Helen did all she could to stop him, but neither of the sons lived at home any longer and he was getting too hard to control. One day Ed and Joe's son Jim found Joe picking us sticks off the front lawn of an apartment building several blocks away; like he would do at home. He placed these sticks within the apartment’s doorway and made a neat little pile. Thirty- four years later, Joe was institutionalized again, but this time in the Manteno Mental Institution. Helen visited Joe once or twice a week, relying on one of her sons or Ed to drive her. She loved doing little things for him like cutting his nails or trimming his eyebrows. Joe would be taken to one of the many empty rooms nearby so he could walk around freely for the exercise. Joe would think he was back in prison and . He would walk in circles alongside the wall over and over and over as if he was back in a prison yard. Ted, who had been responsible for Joe getting into trouble in the first place, committed suicide in April of 1. He wrote Helen a letter just before he died which read: When one gets to be over seventy and slowly degenerating, losing his eyesight and getting senile and being unproductive, it is time to . When it is completely worn out, one must junk it. So I decided it is time for me to go to sleep. Death to all of us is, of course, inevitable, so I would like Joe and thousands of others suffering daily in institutions or convalescent homes. I deeply regret causing you and Joe all the trouble we encountered for something of which we were innocent. Just tough luck Helen. My most fervent best wishes for a happy remainder of your life Helen. Goodbye, Ted Joe died May 2. An article quoted Jack Mc. Phaul, . What I think should be said about him is something maybe nobody's ever said, that he was largely responsible for his release from prison. He went to prison an innocent man and instead of being bitter and fighting, he went back to school. He finished his education, took college courses by mail, learned typing an shorthand, and became the clerk in a prison hospital. Without Joe doing all these things, his mom would never have had the history of the case to give to the reporter. My younger brother is dying from cancer. Times in Chicago read: . So she scrubbed floors at a downtown office building and saved her money until she had $5,0. The ad caught the eye of two veteran reporters of the Times - Jack Mc. Phaul and James Mc. Guire - who, as Mc. Phaul recounts in . That the jury wasn't told that Walush had originally told the police she could not identify the holdup men and had no suspects in mind. Indeed, that Majczek, who was on probation at the time for a neighborhood robbery that netted him $2, had been put twice on a police lineup - and twice Walush had failed to pick him out as a suspect. Also, that she later gave the police another statement that she had recognized one of the robbers as a neighborhood acquaintance named Ted. That when word went out on the streets that Ted Marcinkiewicz was wanted as a murder suspect, he panicked and hid out in the home of Majczek, who happened to be a boyhood friend. That when police came looking for Marcinkiewicz at Majczek's house, he reportedly said: . I have nothing to hide. Molthrop, who had presided over the case, that Majczek had been framed. Convinced now that justice had been miscarried, Molthrop accused Walush of perjury and vowed to push for a new trial . His story was splashed across the front pages of daily newspapers. After all the evidence was presented to the Illinois Department of Corrections, Gov. Green granted a full pardon to Majczek. Majczek walked out of prison and, as compensation for the 1. Somehow all the attention was focused only on Majczek, but five years later Marcinkiewicz was also freed after the courts formally determined he, too, had been denied a fair trial and that his constitutional rights had been violated. Why the convictions of two innocent men? Mc. Phaul notes that six murders had been committed in the city during the week Lundy was killed, and that with the Century of Progress exhibition scheduled for the following spring, business leaders became fearful of what the violence might do to the city's image. After his release from Stateville Penitentiary, Majczek remarried the wife he had divorced when he was sent to prison, moved to Oak Lawn and worked as an insurance broker. In 1. 97. 9 he suffered severe head injuries from a car accident and had to be confined in a sanitarium, where he died in 1. Marcinkiewicz changed his name to Ted Marcin and moved to California. With his eyesight failing and fearing that he would be committed to a convalescent home, he committed suicide in 1. Tillie Majczek, the woman who believed so strongly in her son's innocence, died in 1. January 9, 1. 99. It was the first time in Illinois history. Saved was 3. 6- year- old Joe Majczek. Cops and higher- ups had railroaded Joe into 9. Stateville Correctional Center for slaying police officer William D. Lundy in a Stockyards district speakeasy in a Depression season rife with cop- killing. But they had not counted on Joe's mother Tillie Majczek, a Polish cleaning woman whose dogged efforts to deliver Joe from miscarried justice would become compelling drama. We know it now because of the mesmerizing 1. It falls within director Henry Hathaway's '4. He learned she had been running the notice for all of Joe's 1. Stateville, raising the reward as she increased her savings from her work. She and Joe's father lived on his earnings in the yards. The story was passed on for rewrite to Mc. Phaul, who whimsically rounded it out with a bit of Kipling's . And the points they would make in a series of articles during 1. Mc. Phaul was impressed that Joe Majczek and a witness swore that Joe's judge believed him innocent and had promised a new trial. Though the judge died two years after the trial, he'd had time to make good on this assurance but hadn't. It came to light that the judge, who sat on a superior court, had been threatened with removal from the Democratic ticket if he pursued the Majczek matter. He complied but six months after the trial he was not reslated anyway. The film avoids the real tale's Chicago political odor. Cobb); the judge's tragedy is left on the cutting room floor. But alike in fact and film was Majczek's lawyer, also deceased by the time the paper investigated. A one- time mouthpiece for mobster Hymie Weiss, he'd been shot up in the 1. Al Capone hit that felled Weiss forever, the lasting pain from which may have sent him to the bottle. In any case, defendant, bailiff and even the bench noted his intoxication during Joe's trial. The Majczeks paid him $1,0. An unreliable witness. The police and prosecution pinned Joe's guilt on his identification by the lady who owned the speakeasy where Lundy was killed. Immediately after the shooting she told police she wouldn't be able to recognize the killers because she'd fled to a closet when they approached. Then her memory changed.
