August Hetzke.

Little Murders:
From Defenders and Offenders:


August Hetzke.

"This individual was convicted in Chicago, Ills., of murder in the first degree, he having beaten his little step-son to death. He was always most cruel to the child and on every opportunity treated him in an inhuman manner. The child’s suffering only seemed more to anger this brute, until at last he beat him to death. The case caused a great deal of excitement at the time in Chicago."
 


Defenders and offenders. New York: D. Buchner & Co., 1888.
