Chicago January S.--In spite OF
wide publicity; In spite OF re-: Gluten
by the unccguid, In spite Of all en-
ieayors of the police force TO cover
the assigned districts and protect the
people, the reign or crime goes on
practically unchecked and murders aud
robberies multiply.
Never In the criminal history OF
Chicago have SO many crimes been
committed without arrest of the guilty
One OF the most puzzling crimes
was found in the discovery OF an url-
identified man in the shadows OF .
building at North Halsted and Way
men streets, with two bullet holes In
his left breast
The fact that he was shot twice was
considered as good proof that he did
not fire the bullets himself.
! All the Identification possible In the
case OF the dead man was made
! through a key to a rooming house at
/ NO W van buitn Sllsttt Whth1 hS h1i
| registered as "A. Smith
Beneath his hand, which apparently
held It until death, was postal card,
with no postmark and with some words
IN strange language written upon

| So far Captain Haines has obtained
four transIations, one by Pole. whose
version IL as follows:
"That low woman done this. Wiadys-
lava Cebutska."
! Two theories are entertained con-
cerning the meaning of the writing,
several words OF which cannot be
translated.
Detectives were assigned 10 an in
vestigat on on the theory that the man
rad been threatened with death and
,asl carried the postal card With him.

who may have been told Of his fears

The address side of the card bore
the name, Alexander Slivlneky. No.
1901 Latin street." Captain Haines
sent men to that address and 1t was
found that the man who had moved
into the house yesterday could not re-
cognlze the card as from anyone he
knew
The man at the address said his
name was DukinslSy and not Sliviusky,
but Captain Haines believes that the
lddre. could be read either way.
In the Plymouth court case, Saliva.
ore Annoyino was unconscious from
he effects Of wound in the head and
smoke which filled his room.
When Detectives Mccarthy and
Howe broke into the apartment they
were unable at first 20 see the man.
Cropping their way about The room,
they stumbled over the burning bed.
AnnovinO was then dragged out into
the hall and the FIRE Department was
summoned. The man rega ned con.
sciousness. bot refused to give an eN-
PLANTATION as 10 how he sustained the
wcund or as 10 whether he had az
tempted suicide by shooting and then
tried 10 cremate himself
No revolver was found. but beside
he bed was a pan of water. red with
the mans blood. Annoyin0 is 80 years
old and fruit peddler.
Mrs. Natalia Annovino was found at
the home Of some neighbors near her
home and taken TO the Harrison street
police station. Through an interpret
er. she said:
My husband worked nights This
morning he came home a. usual He
went 10 his room. and ! went 10 visit
some friends That j. all ] know

The police liberated her
