KILLED IN "BLACK HAND" PLOT.
Fourteen-Year-Old Boy Shot by
Chicago Policeman.


Trapped just as the eliminating
point in a scheme to eXtort $4,000 by
"Black Hand" methods in Chicago, Ru-
dolph Berendt, only IA years old, He'd
in an effort to escape the detectives
who were on watch for him and was
land low by a bullet from the revolver
Of Detective Philip Heinrelch Of the
Sheffield avenue station. He died at
the hospital an hour after he had been
shot and after making a full confess
sion. in which he implicated his cous-
in, Alfred Haase, a year older than
himself.
The tragedy which ended the wild
boyish plot took place at Grand avenue
and Desplaines street shortly after .
O'Clock Wednesday night, just after Rrl-
dolph had received from s. +. Gross
field, wholesale grocer at 1875 West Ran
dcLph street. two packages supposed
to contain the $4,000 which had been
demanded of him.
Grossfeld received the first demand
for the money on June IA in a letter
in which he was informed that unless
he produced the cash within two days
he and the members Of his family
would be murdered. He was also warn
ed that he would be tortured and
killed If he notified the police. The
letter was followed by several tele-
phone calls, the last two of them Wed
nesday, when Grossfeld was told to
bring the money that night and that
failure to do so would mean death to
him.
The police were informed and 1t
wss arranged that Grossfeld was to be
at the appointed place with two dun
ny" packages, apparently ready to
urn over the money. Several detect
ives were detailed to be in the vlcin-
itv. Unconscious of the ruse, young
Berendt walked up to Grossfeld, placed
a revolver against his side and told
him to hurry and hand over the money
Accepting the two packages, he turned
and ran in the direction Of Austin av'
enue, paying no heed to the shouts OF
the officers to halt. The second shot
inflicted the wound from which he
died.
