newspaper Office. transacted his business.
which occupied him about Ave minutes. and
| then came out.
As he was leaving tho building he saw Berk-
| man come down and speak to the man whom no
had left standing in the doorway. The man took
u parcel wrapped in brown paper from his
pocket and handed it to Berkman. who then
started up stairs again. Tho assassination
was attempted within three minutes after this

and that with this evidence and other evi.
denco that they can get when the man Is cap.

and with which it was plain he intended to kill
himself He thought. he said. that 1t most

found that there arc q good many men in this
| conspiracy. and that the assassination OF Mr..
Frck was deliberately planned. though tho
plan WAS bunglingy carried out. This man
