ί PODERJAY LAYING ; PLANS TO REWED * > ; Sure of Acquittal in U. S. on; I Bigamy Charges. Says I Austrian. * By the Associated Près». BRENNER PASS. Austrian Frontier, ' January 12.—"So sure am I of ' acquittal In the United States," Ivan ' Poderjay said at this frontier station today, "that I am now making plans * to return to Europe and marry Su if ranne Ferrand." f The self-styled former Army cap » tain, en route from Austria to New r York to face trial on bigamy charges, t termed the accusation against him I "ridiculous," asserting "I'm a bach elor." ; Seemingly confident the American courts would absolve him of the big amy charge and investigation would clear him of any blame for the dls i appearance of Agnes Tufverson, New ' York and Detroit attorney, immedi i ately after their marriage in NçW York. Poderjay said: "It is true that I was married to Suzanne Ferrand. But then the au thorities declared our marriage void \ for technical reasons." Living Near Paris. » The French woman, with whom he r was living at the time he was ar f rested in connection with Miss Tuf , versons' disappearance, has been liv ing quietly near Paris since Austrian authorities released her from custody, Poderjay said. "This time we shall see to it," he said, firmly, "that all legal formalities ι in connection with his proposed re marriage) are observed. I look for ward to a happy future." Poderjay, who police say has had at least three wives, exhibited the ' -*ime self-possession and cocksureness that characterized him when he was first arrested six months ago. From the subject of the bigamy charges on which Austria granted his extradition, and the mysterious dis appearance of Miss Tufverson. he jumped to the topic of patents and ■politics. "I adhere to my idea of pan-Euro peanism," he said, "and international peace." Concerning his patents, he iaid: "I have 25 patents on various devices registered in all the cultured itates of the world. I shall devote my time to development of these after the American courts liberate me from this absurd charge of bigamy." Licenses as Evidence. Although Jacob von Weisenstein, New York detective, who will accom pany Poderjay to the United States, has in his possession copies of mar riage certificates showing Poderjay was married not only to the Ferrand woman, but also to Miss Tufverson. the prisoner clung to his assertion that he is still single. "As far as Miss Tufverson is con cerned," he said. "I can only say that ' we parted good friends when I left * New York. » "She agreed to go her way and I * my way. I have no idea as to what r became of her, but I'm certain she φ is still living." Φ As the Italian train drew out of the station into the snowbound Italian „ Alps, Poderjay waved good-by to the Associated Press correspondent. "I hope you'll send me copies of * the photos you took of me to the » prison in New York." he cried. El'ROPE SUPPLIES EVIDENCE. r Detective Ssys Poderjay Has No * Chance to Be Acquitted. * VIENNA, January 12 (/Pl.—To Ivan 0 Poderjay's assertion that he is still Φ single, Jacob von Weisenstein, the de t tcctive who will take Poderjay to New York to face bigamy charges, to * day retorted: "It's the swan song of a braggart." "Poderjay may dream of the New .*· York courts' liberating him," the de tective said, "but his dream won't be realized because we've got the goods on him." „ The New York detective, who will leave Vienna tonight for Genoa to take Poderjay into his custody aboard the liner President Polk, said he had gathered considerable evidence in Eu rope to support the American charges * that Poderjay. when he married Agnes ' Tufverson at the Little Church Around the Corner in December, 1933, was al ' ready wed to another. > Included in that evidence, he as v ierted. is a photostatic copy of a mar „ riage license issued in London show ing that Poderjay married Suzanne Ferrand, French woman, there in March, 1933. and copies of Austrian police records proving Poderjay and the Ferrand woman registered in Vienna as husband and wife.
