ception, not only by the crowd outside
within. He was cheered necessarily
from the moment he left the chamber
of commerce until he took the carriage
for the theater.
When Santo was within few feet of
the carriage he waved paper as if in
tending to present petition, and thus
threw off their guard the persons near
est to the president. He was seized
just as he was about to jump from the
step, and had but half drawn the dag
ger.

crowd caused the confusion which gave

seized and surrounded. But for the

would have been torn and trampled to
death on the spot As soon as the
police extricated him from the hands
of his captors they hurried him of to
the station house.
