The Hankins Brothers in a Tight | “°s™s Piace Before the Grand Jury. Gecige, Jeff, and Al Forced to “ Give Esch Other Away.” A Pitiful Story of the Misery and Ruin They Have Wrought. Btate’s Attorney Reed Explains His Share in Securing the Indictments. _ THE HANKINS BROTHERS, ‘HOW THEY WERE DNDICTED. ‘The Grand Jary, during their session of the past two weeks, have made it hot for the sport- ing tratemity, having indicted over twenty of the more proizinent gamblers of Chi esrve great credit in their manner of procedure in gaining evidence sufficient to indict the pro- prietors ef the various gambling-houses, as well as the ‘kids who are known as dealers, and deal thecards in the multitudinous games as played in nese gilded palaces of crime, from “red and white” down to the more fascinating and treacherous American game of faro. During the November term of the Criminal Court Judge Booth, then onthe bench, inaugurated a war againsé these offencera, brt it was with difficulty that suffi- cient avidence could be procured to indict these disreputables before the Gracd Jury. The pres- ent jury, however, despairing of any assistance at the hands of the police force, who are thor oughly .cognizant of the transactions of the gamblers, and well acquainted with the enormity of their ‘evil influence, have pursued a different plan of action, and, as a result, have succeeded m . RETUBNING TWENTY-THREE BILLS against the most notorious of the profession. Yesterday's Tnrsune gave the names of the more promment of these professtonals against whom true bills were returned into the Crimizal Court the day befcre, among them being the Hankins brovhers, who are familiarly addressed by the frequonters of their gambling-rooms as George, Al, sud Jeff. An unsuccessful attempt pas neretofore been made to indict these men, snd it seemed impossible to obrain the necessary tuformation to prove them tobe the owners nf the c-teblishment presided over by them, They havo exch of them) been summoned before juries to testify put as the common Jaw provides that no man van be compelled to criminate himself in giving avidence, the Hankins brothers have invariably xvoided being mdicted; but, at lest, through the sndeavors of the present jury, they have been “checked,” and it is more than probable that the next move will ‘‘mate” them. It has long been A WELL-ENOWN FACT that these gamblers were running what is termed gs the most genteel, and perhaps the beaviest and most succsssfol house in the city. It was also imown that in their house daily could be eeen the speculator attempting to retrieve a portion of his losses sustained daring the day by an unfortunate transaction on ‘Change, and invariably getting in deeper. Here, was arraigned before his employers. and con- feesed to ‘them his guilt. The wife was ac- quainted with her husband's crime, aud stepped forward snd offered to mortrage her home in erder to savoher husband. The mortgage was given, and, upon good promises from the young man, he was forgiven and retained in his po- sition. The desire, however, for gaming had taken such a hold upon him through the influ- ence of the sparkle and excitement met with at table, that he AGAIN BECAME A VISITOR at the Hankins house, and again lost. From that moment his doom was sealed. By misrep- resentationa to his wife, he mortgaged piece by piece the furniture in their little home, till final- ly, in order to meet the mortgagas as tnev be- came due, he again purloined from his employer some few hundred dollars, and, ss before, the Henkins brothers ft it. This second robbery was discovered, and he was arrested by an officer of the law, and incarcerated in the County Jail. The wife, paralyzed with grief, knew not to whom to look for sympathy. The mortgages were foreciesed, and she, with her little one, was TURNED OUT OF HOUSE AND HOME upon the cold charity of the world, and that too, when sho was soon to usher into existence an- other helpless babe to share the disgraco of the father. The wretched man is now awaiting his trinl before the Criminal Court on the cli of larceny, while the innocent mother and her help- Jess child are objects of charity. Is it a wonder that the Grand Jury found cause to indict the Hankins gamblers? For thia action on their part they deserve.the thanks ot the community. __ The Grand Jury are determined that thoy will not leave any means in their power left undone to indic: every gambler in Chicago, and will con- tinue in ther good work thus begun until they shall all be wiped out. a 0, and de- | THE STATE'S ATTORNEY'S ASSISTANCE. ‘HIS SUGGESTIONS TO THE GRAND JURY. Orricr or Stats’s ATTORNEY, ‘Cuicaao, Jan, 16, 1875, } To the Editor of The Chicago /'ribune: Sms: AlthonghI much dislike to answer st- tacks upon my official conduct, I deem it my duty to correct a statement in Tae Tamune of this morning, concerning tho indictments ro- turned by the Grand Jury against persons for keeping gambling-houses. You say:. “The Graud Jury found these bills without the assist- ance of the State's Attorney or tho police.” This is. not true. On the th inst. I sddressed a lotter to the jury, in which I suggested s method for -obtaining tho necessary evidence. This method was substantially followed by the jury, as Iaminformed by Mr. Callaghan, the fore- man, who is the well-known law bookseller. It is trae that I have not been personally present ‘with the Grand Jury, but my assistant, Mr. Birch, has been with themeveryday. While the Grand Jury bts been in session I bave been busy trying criminsl cases in the Criminal Court. I could not well be in both places at the same time. The following is the letter which 1 addressed to the jury: EN: Intamuch as Jadge Orrice or Stare’s ATronxEY, Catcaco, Jun, 7, 1875, ‘Williams called your attention to the gambling-ouses in this city, and requested you to investigate the subject and to presunt by indictment the keepers thereof ; and inasmuch as itis always difficult to secare sufficient legal proof to convict in such cases, I desireto aid you to the best of amy ability, and offer you the following suggestions : ‘Firat—General reputation that a person is tho Eseper of s common gambling-house is not Jogsl evidence, and a verson cannot be convicted such evidence, ‘The evidence must show that he in 0 way acted 38 or held himself out ss such. If the evidence thows that s person deals the or in any other way or manner sids or assists in koep- ing or ranning the room, and that the room or placo ja 3 common gaming-house, then such person or per sons is a Keeper of a common grming-house within the meaning of the law, although he may not be the actual keeper or owner thereo!. ‘Second—I saggest that you send for Capt, Buckley, of the South Side; Capt, Ellis, of the West Side; and Capt. Gund, of the North Side police forces, and got from them the number and street of the common geming-houses in their respective divisions, and the names of gamblers and otoer persons who ‘frequent such houses, and then subpana such gamblers and persons before you, and ascertain from them, if pos- giblo, who are the kecpers within the meaning of the Jaw as above indicate. ‘These are only suggestions of a method whereby you mzy get the necessary evidence. Yoa of course-have the right to adopt any other plan or course of proceedings to get the necessary ev- idence, It {s lawfal to show by general reputation that a house is a common gaming-housa, but not who is the keoper thereof. Youre, etc. To the Grand Jury: GENTLES Yoo, could be seen the sons of wealthy parents frying their lock, and losing taeir hundreds to satiate the uneatiable appetite of the ‘tiger.’” Yo this honse can be traced ‘TES RUIN OF MORE THAN OXE LITTLE FAMILY, who Tare’ once surrounded with luxury and pleasar.,, but sho to-day are poverty-stricken, and the huss::2d and father occupying a crimi- ‘pal’s cal! in the Connty Jail, awaiting histrial for larceny ¢f mosey from_his employers, taken to gamble vith at the Hankins house. with the Zain hops of meeting vith a streak of Inck, that would erable tim to replace former losees, until finally his crime was discovered and the employo srrested and thrown into prison. This is only one ont of many brought about through the evil | influence of the Hankins’ huose and others of thstilk. The Grand Jury, with this knowledge, @etermined to pat a stop to the influence of that bousa, and, with this determination, George ankins was sabpensd to appear before them. This member of the firm was not asked if he ewned the house, brt was requested to inform the jury if his brother Al did not have an inter- zat in the profits of the concern. Tho wituess DECLINED TO GIVE AN ANSWER, wherenpon he was informed he could go to jail and make up his mind whether he would remain there the balance of the winter, or come down with the desired information. After some hesi- tation be concluded that the only way out nas to answer the interrogations, and informed the ju- ry that Al Hankins was an interested partner. Al was sent for, and he wss put through the samo process in order to gaiu evidence that would indict Jef. He, like his illustrious broth- er, Was FORCED TO GIVE UP and give away bis brother Jeff to xeep himself outof durance vile. In this manner Al and Jeff ‘were fixed, and then came Jeff's turn, in order to have the company of their brother George. Jeff, like the two brothera who hed precsded Tum, was given his choice of prison fare for some months to come, or give away George. It came bard with the boy, but that jury was inex- orable, and demanded that he ‘MAKE UP HIS MIND IN HASTE, should commit him to the or Judge Williams Inndh; care of Jailor Hand, where he x meet in sweet communion with; Father Forban, Blennerhessett, Cullum, Sud Bittenhouse. Jef! was not long in deciding, and through him was obtsined the fact that George was also an interested partner in the Henkins house. With this knowledge obtainet, the jury were enabled to indict the trie, and. tne bills were returned as stated above.

It is that of a core well-to-do end intelligent youzg man, who, two short years aga, was wedded to an amiable and accomplished young lady in Canads.

To the Editor of The Chicavo Fribune: Guicaco, Jan. 16.—Sm: I regret to notice in this morning’s TEmuxe a paragraph, under the heading ‘Gamblers Indicted,” which does in- justice (I have no doubt unintentionally) to the Srate’a Attorney, Mr. Reei. I have had fre- quent ocession jatelr, im my capacity as Fore- maa of the Grand Jury, to solicit Mr. Reed's ad- ! vieo and assistance, and havo invariably found him willing, and even zez:on8, todo sllin his power in bringing the clase of offenders referred toto justice. His dutiea in the trial of cases after the in- dictments sre found necesrarily prevent his being present during the scesious of the Grand Jury, but he 1s well represented by his very efficient assistant, Mr. Birch, who has evinced a capacity and constant zttention to the daties of tbe office which entitles him to the gratitude of the law-abiding citizens of Chicago.

Bradley, and he isa nephey of the late incumbent of the Sheriff's of- fice, and yet his wife, Nellie, will have none of him. She said so at least in her bill filed to ob- tain adivorce. In 1868, she remarks, in the first place, she gave her maiden affections to Tim, 8 Methodist minister by the namo of Sut- terfield being. employed to tie the matrimonial knot. She is particular in these little circumstances, in hope perhaps that sho may cause a last sigh of remorso from tho faith- less Timothy when he remembers how ardently he protested that sho was without an equal among the sex, aud when he so solemnly prom- ised to forsske ali others for hersake, But he did not. For several months past the cunning man has been in the hadit of going away for two or three days at a time, giving as an excuse the threadbare plea of business. But Nellie thinks it was moro pleasure than business that called him away, and alleges that the charms of a neighbor, named Nellio Bf. Curtis, were the attraction. She re- monutrated with him, and he replied with oaths, and threatened to leave her forever. Time wore on, and Tim and the false Nellie grew careless in their fancied security. until the latter's caro- lessness made known tothe wife the extent of her husband's guilt. Nellie No.2 was in the habit of corresponding with her aflinity, and left her loving epistles ia the bara, where thy could get them when he went to milk. But by some accident Mrs. Bradley happaned to go nest-hunting to the barn, and there discovered indubitable proof tha: ber husband had-been nesthiding. She saw 2 package of thirty lotters, evidently not written by her, but directed to Tim. {n a moment of oxcussble excitement, shoso far allowed ber curiosity to overcome her -natural politeness that -she opened the epistles. Then, with 8 courage remaikablo in her, for of course there was n0 curiosity, she opened another, and another, until she had gone through the whole. Sbe thon started for the house, and the expression on her face would have ratber sstaulsbed her husband bad he seen it. Patting on her “ things,” che took the shortest ath for the residenco of the faithless usurper. Curtis was there, and received a fall ac- count of her daughter's shortcomings. 7 Bat this is only half tho story. Not only did ‘embrace every opportunity to break his vows: at home, but he bad the hardihood to g0 to camp-meeting at Desplaines, last fail, where he again proved faithless. Then he attended the Exposition in October Jast, where his attention was confined to only one obfeck. and that was not seen bythe majority of Expositton-goers. In November ‘he went to the Exposition again, tot lmited his admiration to the study of a living picture, instend of a gallery of imitations. Bat, though he bas proved such = Lovelace, he has sueceeded in gathering up & goodly share of worldly yealth, in sheep, oxen, and Isnd, and, ss Nellie cannot have his affeo- tions, she is determised to get possession of. some of his money. Lest, however, he ubould be disposed to thwart ber in her pursuit, she aske for an injunction to prevent him selling off his property unt she be awarded a shace.

The Examination into the Ruotz Mur- der Concluded. The Wives of the Accused Oorrobo- tate Their Statements, There Being Nothing Against the Boys, They Go Free. The Usual Verdict Returned, ‘The Coroner's investigation inte the ciream- stances connected with the death of Fred Rustz, who was found murdered on Goose Island Mon- day, wes resumed at the Twelfth Precinct Sta- tion yesterday morning. As on the previous day, the Police Court rcom was fall of spects- tors, who listoned very attentively to the evi- doace. They laughed two or three times at lu- diorous remarks of witnesses, and were told they would be turned outif. they did not keep qeiet ; but did not exhibit sympathy either for or against the accused, except whon the verdict waa returned, when a few applanded. It will be noticed that the wives of the prisoners cor- roborated ‘their statemonis in every particular, and, being too ignorant to concoct such a story, what thoy said is unquestionably true. The only evidence of a criminating character was based upon hearsay of supposition and influence, nothing whatevor being elicited to fix the crime upon Fred. Ruetz, Jr., John Ruetz, the sons of the deceased, or John Kurt, his sou-in-law, GUSTAVE ADOLPHUS RUETZ was the first witness called: Live at No. 193 Franklin street; am # carpenter. I built a house for old man Ruetz last summer; he was 0 ignorant man, but worked hard. Ono morn- ing, when I had the house under cover, he was ing, and he told me that his wife wasdead. He said to me at another time that his son-in-law haa Psaid: “Youd— old dog, if you get married and give your property to another woman I will kill you;” that Kurt was drank at the time, and abused.him. Afterwards, when he had nearly finished the house, the younger son (John) came there twice a weei, and told the old man that ho had found a woman out in tbe country for him to marry, and tho deceased replied that he did not want to get married for a year; that he he conld not. cook and wanted to, a5 watch the houso all the time. Tho old man told me subsequently that he had seen the woman, aad that he had known ber in the Old Country.’ He appeared to be on good terms with John, but not with Frederick snd Enrt. The desth of the “old woman” did not seem to affect any of them; some hours elapsed before they came around to fix ber. Atthe time the “old man” told me what Kurt said to bim, his face was soratched, and he said Kurt did it. He also ssid that Fred and Kart were ‘against him,” and did not want him to use his money in building the house. STEPHEN RUHBESG sworn: I jive at No. 37 Krocgor street; am a laborer; know Fred Ruetz; have lived in his house since September last. I helred him slaughter hoga in December; could not give the date; they were knocked in the head first, acd then stack them witb a knife, and cat them up with a hatchet [the bloody hatcho: shown]. I am eure that was the hatchet used. I don’t know what became of it; could not tell whether any blood got on to it, I have often seen Fred with bis father. They were good friends, «I heard Monday afternoon that the old man was dead. have no ides how he could have gotten to the place where he was found. The “old man” visited Frea very often Sunday, Fred went out of the house at 6 o'clock Monday morning, and I did not seo him uutil the evening. I saw him the last time before about 5 o'clock Sunday evening. I did not see the old man at the houso Sunday. I saw scratches on Fred's face Sunjay morning. By a juror—Q.—How the devil do you know that is the hatchet? A.—I think it is. Wo killed the pigs ‘about eight dare in December.” I ne!ped Tred Sunday to fetch coal into the house. [did not see him drink beer or whisky ; that was Saturday. DE. HENROTIN, the County Physician, then rubmitted s written statement, containing the result of the post- mortem examination, the substance of which was published yesterday. Ho had no doubt that there was blond on the hatchet, but it was difli- cult to tell whether it was human biood or that of an imal. Blicroseopics! experts could givo an opinion, but it would be merely an opinion ; and hoe did uot think there was sufficient blood on the hatchei to enable one to give an opinion astoitscharacter. ‘the stains on the inside of the coat were also blood. That on the hatchot was recent, bathe would not swear as to the time ; it might have been there s month or only afew days. Ifa hatchet with blood onitlay in a protectant place, the stains would remain fresh a ing time. M23, FRED RUETZ, sworn: .

Q.—When you saw him Monday night had bes ‘Last Saturday my husband was drunk, and I wanted him to take the baby out, or to unload cosl from a wagon. He wouldn't do it, andI picked up the stave of a barrel and struck him “two or three times on the cost.” He said he ‘would break my face, and I scratched him in the face, and threw some dishwater on him. He slept on tho lonuge Saturday night, as the baby was very low. He went out in the morning, and came back about 1 o'clock. Towards evenme, he ‘went out, and came back with the kerosene. He kissed the baoy, and spoke to me, saying I must cover up, ab it was pretty cold. I told him to go away and mind bis own business, as I could get along. I was mad at him still. He slept on the lounge all Sunday night. I was up several times with the baby, and saw him. He went out be- tween 7 and 8 o'clock Monday morning. He took the baby to the doctor's, and just after he came back a man came in to see him (Kurt), and suid something in sacha bawling, crying way that I did not understsnd it at first. We killed the hogs about five weeks ago. I think ho ased the hatchet (the bloody dne) to chop wood, ae it was the best one he had. He thought more of his father than he did of me. I know that, because he told meso. He told me that he hoped he would got marricd, 80 as to keep him out of saloons. I had nothing to say about it. I told the old man to do as he pleased about it. I never spoke more than twelve words with Kurt. My husband was not on good terms with them, The old man told mo his other chil- dren were mean to him on account of his want- ing to get married. I never spoke to them about it. The last I saw of the old man, he was at our house Sunday a week. I think my husband most have had with him $80 or $90. I have known bim to often have over $100. I never heard that Kurt whi the old man. One Sunday the old inan told me that he had been invited to his youoger son's (John’s) house, snd that Kurt was to be there, and they were to “handle” him; but he did notgo. Idonot know what he meant by it. I heard of the murder from Kurt.. He was grieved, and beat his bead against the door, aud didn’t “speak the words.” I told him to say what was the matter, and not be ‘ mooing like cow,” and then he said father was all cut up, that his head was cut, aod his costand shoes cut. My husvand got’ into the wagon with him and went away, having on the clothes he had worn Saturday and Sunday. When he céme home he said tothe man who had helped him to kill the pig, *‘ Of all the horrible sights I ever acen was my father cut up.” He siso said he would offer a reward to find out who did it. : ‘my.

This wae all the testimony available, and at half-past 12 o'clock the jary retired to make up their verdict. They were out two hourz and 8 half, some being disposed to hold Kurt alone, and others only Frederick Ruetz, all agreeing that John was not implicated by the evidence. ‘They finally came to the conclusion that none of them could be convicted, and accordingly re- turned the following verdict : ‘We, the jury, find that tho said Frederick Ruetz came to his death during the night botween the 10th and 11th of January, 1875, from injuries snd wounds received, produced by a sharp instrument in thehands of an unknown mun tothe jury; and we, the jury, find further to discharge John Ki John suetz, snd Froderick Ruetz, Jr., from prison, having not found any evidence against them, Tho prisoners were immediately released from custods by Capt.

A large number of the porsona! friends of Sheriff Agnew congregated at the Hatch House Jast evening, for the purpose of presenting him with s badge of office, symbolical of their liking for him as a man and asa public officer. Among those who attended were the Hon. W. W. O'Brien, Jono M. Rountree, Mr. Philip Con- ley, Mr. John Comiskey, Mr. Peter Hand, ex- Sheriff Bradley, Mr. Clark Lipe, Mr. Gustavus Korn, Ald. Tom Foley, Mr. Sheldon, Mr. Andrew Corrigan, Mr. Michael Malloy, and many others. ‘The presentation was made in the reception parlor of the hotel, which was crowded to its utmost extent. Tho badge was pre- sented by John F. Finerty, who made gome remarks apropos of the occasion. Mr. Aguew replied in 2 very neat speech, in which he judiciously avoided politics, and dealt with the matter simply in » social and personal sense. He hoped always to maintain the same Lappy rela- tions with the friends who surrounded him. . ‘The badze, which is a five-pointed gold star, with a maguificent solitaire diamond set in the centre, was designed by Mr. John Parkes, and executed by 3ir. Joseph Lief. It is a splen- did gift, and is solid enough to last for centur- ies. “ Sneriff of Cook County " is enameled on its front, and the name of Mr. Agnew and tho date of presentation are evgraven on the rear. When the presentation ceremoaial had con~ cluded, Ald. Corcvran, proprietor of the hotel, invited the party to partake ofa very elegant sup- per, specially prepared for the occasion. Tho Alderman did the hovors, and the sparkling vintage of Chamyagne freely graced the board and lent zeat {othe entertainment. Of course the iaevitable oration was loudly called for, and Messrs. O’Brien, Rountree, Conley, and Comis- key responded in happy terms. ‘This ended the “regular exercisor.” and thereafter, until far tuto tho ‘wee sma’ hoars,” the party enjoyed thomselves in a manner that showed them to be “at peace with all the world and the rest of mankind.” As sn approprinte form of relief for the grase- hopper victims, the Isdies of Detroit have con- cluded to give a “‘ hop.” MARRIAGES, “WOOD-PARKER—AL Jaclaon, Mich., J n. 13, by sae Reve Mose Sats, Naatos Wood af Chicky Diary A.
