or the multitude which witnessed
or bore part in the scene of turmoil
and the turbulence, there was one mind
which seemed to retain its equilibri.
um, one hand remained steady, one eye
which gazed with unflinching calmness
and one voice which retained its even
tenor and faltered not at the most crit
ical juncture.
They were the mind and hand and
eye and voice of President Mckinley.
After the first shock of the assassin s
shot he retreated step. Then, as de-
tectives leaped upon his assailant, he
walked slowly to chair and seating
himself, at the same time removing
his hat and bowing his head In his
hands. In an instant Secretary Cor
telyou and President Milburn were at
his side. His waistcoat was hurrldly
opened. the president meanwhile ad-

General |. w. Buchanan started for the
Milburn residence to forstall any in
formation that might reach there by
telephone or otherwise. Luckily he
was first to arrive with the information
The Niagara Falls trip had tired Mrs.
Mckinley, and upon returning to the
Milburn residence she took leave of her
nieces, the Misses Barber, and the
presidents nice Miss Duncan, as we'll
as her hostess, Mrs. Milburn, and went
to her room to rest.
Mr.. Buchanan broke the news as
gently as possible to the nices and con-
suited with them and Mrs. Milburn as
to the best course to pursue in break
ing the news TO Mrs. Mchinley. 1t was
finally decided that on her awakening
or shortly thereafter Mr.. Buchanan
should break the news to her, II in the
ed and after hasty consultation 1t
was decided to remove the patient to
the home of President Milburn. This
was done, the automobile ambulance
being used for that purpose.
While the president was being borne
from the exposition hospHal to the Mil
burn residence between rows OF onlook-
ers with barred heads, far different
spectacle was being witnessed along
the route OF his assailant's journey
from the scene OF his crime to police
headquarters. The crime was commit
ted so quickly that the prisoner was
safely landed within the portals OF the
police station and the doors closed be-
fore any one was aware OF his pres
ence.
District Attorney Penny, Superintend-
ent of Police Bull and other officials.
The prisoner at first proved quite COM
munlcative, so much so, in fact, that
little dependence could be placed upon
what he said. He first gave his name
as Fred Nieman, said his home was in
Detroit, and that he had been in Buff
falo about a week. He said he had
been boarding at a place In Broadway.
Later this place was located at John
Nowaks saloon. Raines Law hotel,
No. 1918 Broadway. Nowak, the pro-
prietor said he knew very little about
his guest. He came there, he declared,
last Saturday, saying that he had come
to see the Pan-American exposition.
and that his home was in Toledo. In
his room was found small travelling
bag of cheap make. 1t contained an
empty cartridge box and few clothes.
With these facts in hand the police
went at the prisoner with renewed Wig

Nevertheless his garments we're has

stream of crimson was seen to wind its
way down his breast, spreading It's tell

worst fears were confirmed.
As soon as the crowd In the Temple
OF Music had been dispersed sufficient

tomobile ambulance and taken TO the
exposition hospital, where an examinar

was summoned and within a brief per-

AS near as could be learned tonight, the
facts contained In the confession are as
follows:
The mans name is Leon Czolgosz.
He Is of Polish German extraction.
His home is in Cleveland, where he has
seven brothers and sisters. He is an
avowed anarchist and an ardent discip-
le OF Emma Goldman, whose teachings
he alleges. are responsible for today's
attack on the president. He denies
steadfastly that he Is the instrument OF
any body OF anarchists or the tool of
any coterla OF plotters. He declares
he did not even have a confederate.
His only reason for the deed, he declar.
es, is that he believed that the present
form OF government in the United
States was unjust and he concluded
that the most effective way to remedy
1t was TO kill the president. These
conclusions, he declared. he reached
through the teachings OF Emma Gold
