SCHRANK FAMILY SUFFERED FROM INSANITY TAINT Grandfather and Father of the Roosevelt Assassin Were Both Afflicted. HIS LIFE IN NEW YORK, Always Moody, He Brooded Constantly Over Deaths of Aunt and Uncle. For at least three generations there has been a taint of insanity in he family of John Schrank, Col. Roosevelt's assassin, Schrank’s grandfather, a rich Ba- in brewer of the same name, was almost a Iwnatic before he died. The same unsoundness cropped out in Schrank’s youthful father. The son, known from boyhood in many sec- tions of the east side and in Brook- lyn, was a taciturn, moody, morose, brooding character, He had no inti- mates. A few members of his imme- diate family he appeared to love to idolatry. He had no politics, He was not a professed Socialist. People who know him best say he is only a crank. In all Schrank's career not an inc!- dent has been unearthed to explain his hatred of Col. Roosevelt, which seems to have developed after the path, last year, of his uncle, Dominick Flammang. Sitting in the back room of the White House Hotel at No. 156 Canal street, where he lived from last July, Schrank drank moodily him- self and looked up at the pictures of four Presidents of the United States. One was of Lincoin, one was of Gar- field, both victims of assassins. The m May until by ird was of Grant; the fourth of osevelt. Night after night, accord- to Gustave Just, the , proprietor, Ihrank would sit in this room, drink- Ing, brooding, looking at t pictures. ominick and Anna Flammang came to America twenty-nine years ago, dringing with the a boy. Fi mang | opened a saloon at No. 70 East Tenth street, and lived upsiairs. The boy was known as John FI nmang, and the thrifty Germans In th neig hood understoo. tat the ammangs had brought him from his grandparents’! home in Germany. YOUNG @LAMMANG WAS JOHN SCHRANK. For six years the boy attended the pubic schools, and when fifteen became bartender in his uncle's saloon, In 192, the Flammangs moved to East Sixteenth street, and Flammang an- nounced that he had given his businss to his young nephew. Great was the apeculation and wonder when the new name over the door was John Schrank instead of John Flammang. The old people then moved to No, !% East Fighty-first street, where they had bought a house, and Schrank lodged with a family named Zeigler, over his saloon. The new owner made no friends. Neighbors say that at that time he regularly received remittances from Europe. His education stood him good stead, He German fluently, and at times was a fansiator for the Staats Zeitung. jomas Harris, then President of the he Dealers’ Association, ‘That he had some social instincts {indicated by the fact that ho was @ member of the Hungarian Club at No. 43 East Thirty-first street. Eventually Schrank sold his business. Anna Flammang died in 1907, Schrank ‘was beside himseif with grief. He had attended her with great devotion. Phy- eicians at the Presbyterian Hospital aid she was going insane. Schrank, fm hysterics, refused to leave the room dn which her body lay and had to be put out. After she was buried in Ever- green Cemetery, Brooklyn, he spent Gays beside her grave. Another aunt, to whom he had transferred his violent affection, died in 1911, and about the same time Dominick Flammang died, leaving Schrank worth $25,000. MOVED TO BROOKLYN TO BE NEAR CEMETERY. @chrank lived alone in the Eighty-firet street house, shut up and brooding again, He disappeared one day. None of his old Tenth street acquaintances heard of him after that until the news came of his attack on Col, Roosevelt. chrank, however, only went to Brook- Syn and took lodging at the “Old Home- stead,” a Mttle hotel a Cooper and Central streets, convenient to the ceme- tery, where he still spent hours at his aunt's grave, He lived at the “Old Homestead” until last January. Shortly before leaving he asked Edward Laurin- ger, the manager, to be his agent and collect the rents at the Elghty-first street house. He frequently received letters from Germany, but never di- vulged their contents. In February Schrank, appearing to have suffered severe reverses, went to work in the saloon of Edward Haber- \ stroh and ‘Theodore Thumann at No, 246 Flushing avenue, Brooklyn, He car- ried only a shabby bag, and his most treasured possessions were the photo- graphs of @ man and a woman. He tried in two positions, failed in both ‘and was discharged. Jn Murch the saloon proprietors were served with a summons in @ suit brought by Schrank for $11 salary, The sult went to trial March 4, and every day while it was in progress Schrank would appear at the saloon or at the offices of the proprietors’ attorney and demand his meney, On Darch 4 o verdicg wes rentered againet , in} spoke English and) GLADYS VIRGINIA WATSON PHOTO BY BRADARY.

He would come in and Ket his beer, and sit in the room and quietly watch the other men, I never Was so surprised In my iife as when I j heard he had snot Roosevelt." ‘Bernard Berger, who came to own Schrank's former saloon, remembers his coming there on a visit about four years azo. “One of the men present, Schrank well,” said Mr. Berger, “asked him where he was living, and I think he said he was staying with old Flam- mang, Its uncle. No one sald anything to me about his being a Socialist then or any other time, although I think some one in the party that day expressed the opinion that the Socialists would rule the country some day. I can't recall wheth {er or not it was Schrank who sald t Mr. Just confirms the statement that Schrank was never head to talk about socialism or politics in any form. He says he {s sure Schrank never even men- tloned Roosevelt. Schrank's Eighty-first street house 1s now i the name of F. P. Hummel, an attorney, who lives at No, 4 Marble Hill Javenue. Mr. Hummel declines to say un der what circumstances he became the owner of the hou; WOMAN STILL HAS THE UNCLE’S ASHES, Mrs. Margaret Daseking, who hes an undertaking room at No. 276 Bast Tenth street, still has in a Jar the ashes of Mr Flammang, and told to-day of Schrank’ behavior at the time of his uncle’ death. “The young man was terribly ner- “He walked up and down the floor #0 fast and so many times that the men could hardly go on with the funeral. He talked and muttered to himself, and just walked and walked and walked. He got the embalmer so nervous he couldn't do his work at all. He had the old man cremated, and I brought the ashes here. Two weeks later Schrank he comes and pays the bill, but he never sa: word about the ashes, and they are here yet.” Thuman, Just and several others heard from Schrank that he had a sis- ter and brother somewhere in Brook- lyn, but the police have been unable to locate them. Just says Schrank gave his brother's name as Charles, and said he lived near Cooper and Myrtle avenues. A visit by detectives to Lauringer's hote} in Cooper street unearthed a valise left there by Schrank last January. It contained & Photograph of Schrank @ quiet in who knew 0 a number of letters in German ani English, some memoranda, mortgages and deeds.
