 CHICAGO, Dec 21-Five men and the police in connection with the brutal murder yesterday of J. H. Logue, the diamond merchant. At least two of the prisoners, Clyde Stratton and H. r. Hampton, are responsible for many crimes committed recently in Chicago. the police believe, but no link has been discovered that appears to connect any of the suspects directly with the slay- ing of the diamond dealer
 In Hampton's pockets were more than a dozen blood stained cards and in travelling bag taken from the flat which Stratton, Hampton and two wo- men suspects were living. a long blad- cd knife spotted either with rust or blood was picked up. Both will be analysed by chemists
 The officers continue to work on the theory that Logue was murdered for revenge or killed by a maniac, and that the brutality O. the crime makes the later theory strong. In connection with the belief that an enemy killed Logue the police are fol- lowing closely every clue which seems to point to woman in the case" Every article of clothing owned by the four woman suspects is being ex- amined carefully to discover if pos sible, the underskirt from which was taken the strip of cloth that was used as a gag on Logue.
 The prisoners now held are Clyde Stratton. a college man and a mem Der of a Greek Letter Fraternity wanted in Columbus, Ohio, for es- caping from prison after being sent enced 10 five years for safe blowing and believed to be one of the auto bandits who terrorized Chicago for several weeks.
 H. P, Hampton. alias Harry B. Ho- ward. alias Michigan Smithy' who asserts he is a real estate dealer from Pelican Lake, Wisconsin. was identi- fled today by Wilbur c. Salter. as the man who in 1905 held up a Pere Marquette bound for Chicago and who was once arrested at Kansas City, Mo, for operating a confidence game.
 Margaret Johnson, says she is the wife of Toronto Jimmy" who is now serving a twenty years sentence in the Wisconsin prison for safe blow ing and who assisted Johnson to break jail at Rochester, Minn.
 Mrs. H P Hampton, who says she is the wife of one of the men pris- Oners.
 Charles Duffy, a chauffeur, who is said to have driven an automobile for the bandits on their raids.
 Frank Williams, alleged to have lived in a Clifton avenue flat where Stratton Hampton and the two wo- men resided.
 Edna NJ. Collier, another roOmer at the flat whom the police say is not thought to have been implicated in the robberieS.
 Clifford Dyslin, another chauffeur. who is said to have driven for the bandits.
 A woman reported to be the sister of the wife of Toronto Jimmy"
 The flat in which Stratton, Hamp- ton and the two women were arrested last night resembled an arsenal. Revolvers, ammunition, burglar tools of many kinds and a quantity of dynamite was discovered. There also were many jewels, but their value has not been determined. The pris- oners say the jewels are of little worth.
 Lieutenant Larkin expressed tonight the belief that Logue was murdered because he refused to receive stolen goods from the gang It also was suggested that the killing was the di- rect result of quarrel and the rob- bery, if one was committed was af ter thought. Stratton, who is regard ed as the leader of the auto bandits is a well educated man. He refuses to give his correct name to the police He further boasts that if he is re- turned to the Ohio prison from which he escaped he will soon be free again. He stoutly maintains he knows nothing of the LOgue slay- ing
