HIS LIFE IN NEW YORK.

For at least three generations
there has been faint Of insanity in
Nhe family of John Schrank, Col.
Roosevelt's assassin.
Schrank's grandfather, a rich Ba-
varian brewer of the same name,
was almost lpnatic 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
Ign, was taciturn, moody, morose,
brooding character. He had no inti-
mates. A few members OF his imme-
date family he appeared to love to
idolatry. He had no politics. He
was not professed Socialist. People
who know him best say he is only q
crank.
In all Schrank's career not an Incl.
dent has been unearthed to explain his
to have developed after the death. last
year. OF his uncle. Dominick Flammang.

House Hotel at No. l56 Canal street.

WOMAN STILL HAS THE UNcLE's
ASHES.

Mrs. Margaret Daseking. who has an
undertaking room at No. 276 East Tenth
street. still has In a Jar the ashes OF MI
Flammang. and told to-day OF Schrank's
behavior at the time OF his uncie's
death.
The young man was terribly ner-
vous." she said. He walked up and
down the floor so fast and so many
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 says a
word about the ashes. and they are
here yet"
Truman. 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 brothers 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 val!se
left there by Schrank last January. II
contained photograph of Schrank,
a number of letters in German and
English. some memoranda, mortga ges
and deeds Schrank's last appearance
there was Sept. 20. The police also
learned that Schrank had borrowed $3.50
from man whose name Is withheld.
This Is the money on which Schrank Is
supposed to have been able to folio W

For six years the boy attended the
pubic schools, and when fifteen became
bartender In his uncle's saloon. In
1907, the F'lammangs moved to East
Sixteenth street, and Flammang an
nounced that he had given his businss
TO his young nephew. Great was the
specu.ation and wonder when the new
name over the door was John Schrank
instead of John Flammang. The old
people then moved to No. !'7 East
Eghty-frst street, where they had
bought a house. and Schrank lodged
with family named Zeigler. over
his saloon.
The new owner made no friends.
Neighbors say that at that time ne
regularly received remlttances from
Europe. His education stood him in
good stead. He spoke English and
: German huently. and at times was

\, remembers Schrank as q young fellow
who was "a little of In his head"
That he had some social instincts Is
indicated by the fact that no was
member of the Hungarian Club at No
- East Thirty-frst street.
Eventually Schrank sold his business.
Anna Flammang died In 1907. Schrank
was beside himself with grief. He had
attended her with great devotion. Ply
sicians at the Presbyterian Hospital
said she was going insane. Schrank.

NEAR CEMETERY.
echrank lived alone in the Eighty-hrst
street house. shut up and brooding
again. He disappeared one day. None
of his old Tenth street acauaintances
heard Of him after that until the news
came Of his attack on Col Roosevelt.
Schrank, however, only went to Brook
Y N.yn and took lodging at the "Old Home
stead" q little hotel Cooper and
Central streets, convenient to the ceme-
terry, where he still spent hours at his
aunts grave. He lived at The "Old
Homestead" until last January Shortly
bsfore leaving he asked Edward Laurin-

collect the rents at the Eighty-hrss
street house. He frequently received
letters from Germany. but never d.

Bernard Berger. who came to own
Schrank's former saloon. remembers his
coming there on a visit ABOUT four ears
ago.
"One OF the men present, who knew
Schrank well.' said Mr.. Berger. asked
him where he was living, and I think
he said he was staying with old Flam-
mang. his uncle. No one said anything
to me about his being 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. l can't recall wheth-
er or not It was Schrank who said this"
Mr.. Just confirms the statement that
Schrank was never head to talk about
socialism or politics in any form. He
says he Is sure Schrank never even men,
