in from various parts OF the |
United States. At no time did |
he believe he was fatally in |
jured and after the removal of the bull |
let sent for his stenographers, dictated |
a letter and asked his chiefs about the |
condition of affairs at Homestead and |
Duquesne. Guards were placed at the |
door and admittance refused to all but |
officials of the company and immediate
relatives and friends.
Mr.. Fricls refused all medicine until |
o'clock, when he was given a sedative
and was soon sleeping soundly No
one was permitted to see him for an
hour before his removal to his home,
which took place shortly after o'clock.
His physicians announced on his arri-
val at home in the east end that he had
stood the trip well and showed no bad
effects from It,
Mr. Frick rested easily all through
Sunday. His temperature is 9s, and he
seems to be quite cheerful and conf.
dent of his recovery. Another cut was
discovered which was missed in the eX-
animation made Saturday. 1t is in his
left leg just below the calf, and al.
most severed the tendons. Mr.. Frick
complained of pain in the leg, but his
attendants imagined that it was of the
other wounds he spoke. 1t was care
fully dressed and relief followed. DIR.
Litchfed, who is IN constant attend
ance at the house, says that Mr.. Frick
is doing nicely, and unless something
now unlocked for occurs the patient
will be up and about in few days.
The news of the attempted assassina-
tion spread like wildfre, and in five
minutes after the shooting Fifth ave-
nue. from Market to Wood street was
black with people. When the fellow
was brought out of the building by the
| police officers to be taken to the
| Central station cries greeted the
officers of ''Shoot him. and
Let him have what he gave
| Fricll!' A better element helped keep
the assassin from mob violence. A
large crowd followed the patrol wagon
containing the prisoner to the Central
police station, and when the lookup
was reached the police were compelled
to shut the gates to keep out the peo-
pie. The prisoner was pale and so
much exhausted from his excitement
that he could not answer the usual
questions for several minutes. He was
taken back into the cell department
and Inspector McKelvey put him into a
cell.
When the prisoner recovered suffi-
ciently to speak Inspector McKelvey
questioned the prisoner. He said his
name was Andrew Berlsman, and his
age 20 years. He lived in New York
and was compositor, but he would not
state where he was employed. Se
came to Pittsburgh Thursday for the
express purpose of killing Mr.. Frick,
whom he considered an enemy of the
people.
At4 o'clock the prisoner in charge OF
Superintendent O'Mara, Inspector Nc
Kelvey and Detectives Shora and Coul-
son, was taken to the gymynasium in
the station yard to be photographed.
Seated in the chair the only action OF
the young man that indicated any
nervousness was q peculiar movement
of his jaws. This aroused the
suspicion of Police Surgeon
Meyer, who afterward made a
search and found small shell in the
prisoners mouth. The desperate man
refused to open his mouth and it was
necessary to choke him till he was
black in the face before he would give
the shell up. 1t was examined by q
chemist and pronounced dynamite
cartridge of the same kind used by
Lingg. the Chicago anarchist who
killed himself. 1t was considered {
miracle that Berkman was no
blown up
Berkman has undoubtedly been in tn,
city some time. He called at Carnegie.

worth, an employe, but the latter wa
out at the time. Friday he called agaiI
and inquired for Mr.. Frick. but he wa
: also absent. He also called Saturda,
morning, but went away before h,
could be invited into Mr.. Frick's Office
The would-be assassin, who nov
gives his name as Alexander Berl1
/ man, is still telling contradictor,
, stories. He stated that when he wa
ready, which would not be until afte
his transfer to the county Jail, h
would make written statement TO
: the press, and until then he woul,
$ refuse to answer any questions
He is slight man, % year
1 old, near-sighted, and wearing
glasses. His most peculiar feature i
e the mouth, which is large and sensual
D and has two curious flaps of fesI

S strong, his forehead eXcellently shaped
: and the ears stand out from the head
: The only fault to oe found with hi
n appearance is the shifty, furtiv
: manner in which he uses his eyes
c He would not be notable man in
