The Scene rs Described by People Who
Witnessed It.

Witnessed lt.
There were several laborers and officers In tho
Capitol grounds who witnessed the shooting.
When the van passed through the grounds,
one OF these officers says, they noticed
the strange avenger, mounted on a splendid sor-
rel horse, riding near the van. His pres
ence was remarked especially, and one OF the by
ISLANDERS said: ~ believe that man is going 70
shoot through the side cs the yan.n The man
then had pistol in his hand 1t was observed.
also that the officers in charge OF the van ap--
peared rather careless When the van had
passed through the Capitol grounds and
emerging into East Capitol street. the stranger
rode up to the right side OF the van, leveed his
pistol and fired. The loud report threw the
guards at once into state OF great excitement
The driver Jim Leonard, leaped down from his
seat, but at once remounted it. Meanwhile the
stranger spurred his horse and sped away az
aquick gallOp in a northerly direction, along LIST
street. The van was driven rapidly after him for
some distance, and then turned back. The police
man in front fired at the fleeing man, who rode
like an Indian, dropping down upon the side OF hts
horse, SO that he could not be shot.
