with alarm, but the wounded man con-
tinued to assure them that his injuries
were trihing. This dramatic scene
upon the little platform was enacted in
the midst of a terrible tumult, which
continued uninterruptedly for many
minutes.
When the secret service men and the
colored man first threw themselves
upon Czolgosz, the assailant of the
president, and pinned him to the floor
lest he should try to use the revolver
again, twenty more men hurled them
selves upon the scrambling quartet and
buried Czolgosz from sight, Every
man in that struggling, crazy throng
was striving to get hold Of Czolgosz,
to strike him, to rend him, to wreak
upon him In any way the mad fury
which possessed them instantly they
realized what he had done,
The greater part Of the crowd was
stunned for an instant by the enormity
of the crime they witnessed, but when
the reaction came they surged forward
like wild beasts, the strongest tearing
the weakest back out Of the way and
forcing themselves forward to where
the prisoner was held by his captors
An the time tumult OF sound filed
the place, a hollow roar at first, pune
tuated by the shrleks Of women, SWELL
ing into a medley Of yells and curses
Men said unintelligible things as they
pushed and crowded toward the center
of the swaying mob. They wanted to
lynch Czolgosz, whoever he was. They
wanted to see him and they shouted
vainly at the police officers in front to
drag him out.
Mad EfIort to Get Revenge.
A little force Of exposition guards,
penned in by the clamoring mob,
fought desperately to hold their pris-
oner from the bloodthirsty crowd.
They had Czolgosz safe and fast. His
revolver had been wrenched from his
hand In the instant that Detective Ire
land fell upon him and he was helpless,
bruised and bleeding. His face was
cut when he was thrown to the floor
and a dosen eager, vicious hands had
struck at him and reached him oveA
the shoulders of the officers. Slowly,
very slowly, the little force Of police
made their way through the crowd
dragging the prisoner between them.
They were determined there should be
no lynching. Things were bad enough
as 1t was and lynching would have
been the crowning horror Of the day
From outside the building, where the
news had spread from lip to lip, more
thousands pushed and jostled and
shouted in their eagerness to enter the
building. Those inside were strug.
Cling In two directions-the more
timorous to escape from the place be-
fore a stampede should crush out theii
lives and the hot-headed to reach Czol
gosz-only to reach Czolgosz was theil
ono idea.
On the stretcher of an ambulance
which had come changing to the dool
the president was tenderly carried
from the building and borne in thu
ambulance to the emergency hospital
near the service building, within thu
exposition grounds Though this take
! long in the telling, probably It was no
