SCHRANK FAMILY
SUFFERED FROM
T
Grandfather and Father of the
Roosevelt Assassin Were
Both Afflicted.
HIS LIFE IN NEW YORK.
Always Moody, He Brooded
Constantly Over Deaths of
Aunt and Uncle.
For at Inast three urnoratlons
there has been a taint of insanity In

Hooaevelt'i aesaasln.
Schranks grandfather, a rich Ba
varian brewer of the same name,
vas almost a lvnatlc before ho died. J
The same uncoundnrsn cropped out In
Sehrank'g youthful father. The son,
known from boyhood In many sec
tions of the east side and In Hrook-
lyn, was a taciturn, moody, morose,
brooding character. lie had fo Inti
mates. A few members of his imme
diate fumlly he appeared to love to
Idolatry. He had no politics, lie
waa not a professed Socialist. People,
who know him best say he is only a
crank.
In all S'rhrank'a rarrer not nn Inci
dent has oeen nnrarthcl to explain his
hatred of Col. Roosevelt, Which seems
to have developed after the death, last
year, of hli uncle, Domlnkk riammuiiK.
Sitting In the back room of the White
House Hotel at No. lraj Canal street,
where he lived from last May until
July, lehraok drank moodily by hin,-
elf and looked up at the pictures of I
four Presidents of the United States, j
One was of Lincoln, one was of Gar- I

SCHRANK.
For 1 years the boy attended the
puM'c schools, anil wnen fifteen becamo
bartender In his uncle's saloon. In
1902, the Flnmmangs moved to East
SUteentli street, and Flam man I an
nounced that he had given his hiitlni ,
to his young nephew. Great was the
peculation and wonder when the new
name over the door was John .Shrank
Instead of John Flammang, The old
people then moved to No. IW Baat
Eighty-first street, where they had
bought a house, and Schrank lodged
with a family named Zelgler, over j
his siloon.
The new owner made no friends.
Neighbors say that at that time he
regularly received remittances from
Europe. JUS eaucatiun siijini mm in ;

Oerman fluently, and at times was a
(uislator for the Staats Zeltung.
M...I. 1',, ...1,1. ,,, ,.t the i
(inn. DaaUra' Association, says he .
remembers SrhraJik as a young leuow
irho was "a little off In his head."
That he had some social Instincts is
Indicated by the fact that ho was a
member of the Hungarian Club at No.
431 Eaat Thirty-first street.
Eventually Schrank sold his business.
Anna Flammang died In 1007. Schrank
waa beside himself with grief. He had
attended her with great devotion. Phy
sicians at the Presbyterian Hospital
aid she was goiag Insane. Schrank,
In hysterics, refused to leave the room
In which her body lay and had to be
put out After she was burled 'n Ever
green Cemetety, Brooklyn, he spent
days beside her grave. Another aunt,
to whom he had transferred his violent
affection, died in 1911, and about the
same time Domlnlck Flammang died,
leaving Schrank worth 136,000.
MOVED TO BROOKLYN TO BE
NEAR CEMETERY.
(trhrank lived alone In the Elghty-firot
treet house, shut up and brooding
again. He disappeared one day. None
of his old Tenth street acquaintances
heard of him after that until the news
came of hla attack on Col. Rooaevelt
ehrank, however, only went to Brook
lyn and took lodging at the 'Old Home
stead," a little hotel a Cooper and
Centra streets, convenient to the ceme
tery, where he still spent hours at his
aunt's grave. He lived at '.he "Old
Homestead" until last January. Shortly
bsfore leaving he asksd Edward Lurln
ger, the manager, to be his agent and
collect the rents at the Eighty-first
street house. He frequently received
letters from Germany, but never di
vulged their contents.
In February Schrank. appearing to
have suffered severe reverses, went to
work In the saloon of Edward Haber
atroh and Theodore Thumann at No.
H Flushing avenue, Brooklyn. He car
ried only a shabby big, and bis moat
treasured possessions ere the photo

MANNER.

House. "H had a calm face, t quiet

' Jicrnard Berger. who came to own
8chrank's former saloon, remembers his
Doming there on a visit about four yt-ira
ago.
"One of the men present, who knew
Echrank well." said Mr, Berger, "usked
him where he wan living, and I think
he said he was staying with old Klam
tr.ang, bis uncle. Xn one said anything
to me about his being a Socialist then or
any other time, although I th'nk some
one In the party that day expressed the
opinion that the Socialists would rule the
Country some day. I 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
iy he Is sure Schrank never even men
tioned Roosevelt.
Schrsnk'a Eighty-first street house 1s
now In the name of F. P. Hummel, an
attorney, who lives at No. 24 Marble Hill
avenue. Mr. Hummel declines to say un
der what circumstances he became the
owner of the house.
WOMAN STILL HAS THE UNCLE'S
ASHES.
Mrs. Margaret Daxeklng, who has an
undertaking room at No. 176. East Tenth
street, still has in a Jar the ashes of Mi
Flammang, and told to-day of S-hrank's
bchAvlor at the time of his uncle's
death.
"The young man was terribly ner
vous," she said. "He walked up and
down the floor so fast and so many
times that the men could hardly go
on with the funeral. He talked and
muttered to hlnnelf, and .lust 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 weeka later Schrank he comes and
pays the bill, but he never says a
word about the ashes, and they are
here yt."
Thuruan, Juai and severs! others
heard from Schrank that he had i sis
ter and brother somewhere In Hrook
lyn, but the police have been unable
to locate them. Just says Schrank
gave his brother's name as Charles, and
said he lived near Cooper and Myrtle
avenues.
A visit by detectives to Iaurlnger's
hotel In Cooper street unearthed a v illse
left there by Schrank last January. It
contained a photograph of Schrank.
a number of letters In German and
English, some memoranda, mortgages
and deeds. Schrank'a last appearance
there was Sept. 22 The police also
learned that Schrank had borrowed tl'.o
from a man whose name Is withheld,
This Is the money on which Schrank Is
