BOY ACCUSED OF
HORRIBLE CRIME
Chicago Lad Who Hacked His
Employer to Pieces With
a Ratchet.

Chicago.-Rudolph Gumoff, II years

criminal court to answer the charge
Of killing Jacob Lieb OF Chicago
Heights. his employer, with Ratchet.
During the recital OF the facts OF
the killing to the jury by Assistant
States Attorney Barbour an ordinary
sized hand Ratchet, still spotted with
the blood of the slain man. was shown
the jury. The state. because OF the
youth of the prisoner, waived the
death penalty, but demanded impris-
onment for life.
The boy was employed by Jacob
Lieb in the shoe repairing shop in Chi
cago Heights. according to the story
of the prosecutor. On the afternoon
of August piercing screams from the
little shop aroused the village. When,
some minutes afterward, two or three
men entered the place they found the
kitchen floor spattered with blood and
the body OF Lieb hacked to an indis-
tinguishable mass, while at the table
sat the boy who evidently had COM
mitted the atrocious deed. He had
just finished eating some soup. and
the empty bowl stood before him.
