delay in bringing Charles E. Hansen to
trial for the murder of Patrolman Luka Fitzpatrick may secure the convicted murderer's freedom under the four term act, the prosecutor is taking no chances on letting the man escape punishment on an old charge of burglary that has been pending against him. The burglary was committed Oct. S, 1906 and yesterday the state's attorney went before the grand Jury and secured an Indictment of Hansen on this charge, promising to start the trial at once. A special venire probably will be called, as the talesmen now on duty under call for Jury service In the criminal court are too well acquainted with Hansen's record to qualify in the case. The indictment charges that Hansen robbed tho store of Charles Seeberg, 2436 One Hundred and Fifteenth street, of watches, revolvers, and knives. An indictment accusing him of bringing to Chicago the proceeds of a burglary in Council Bluff, la.; and another on a charge of assault, preferred by Patrolman Birch, who captured Hansen on the day of the Fltzpatriclc murder, were also returned against him.
