woman, and his father WAS half
Spanish and half negro from Johns
Island, off Charleston. He has been
living in Buffalo since last March,
and had for several months been en-
ployed in the Plaza restaurant, in
the exposition grounds. He got of

with the president, and WAS the man
Immediately behind tho assassin.
Parker considers Atlanta rs his
home, he having lived most Of his
life there, working in tho North at
intervals He says he only did his
duty, but does not relish the way
in which the secret service mon have
attempted to create tho impression
that they overcome the assassin. lie
only regrets that he was not allowed
to kill Czolgocz. "The 10000 white
people there ought not to have OK
pected a nigger to do it ALL" He
said: "Some of them ought to have
helped mo kill him; we would have
fixed him quick IN Georgia."
Parker is IN deadly fear of the
anarchists and says that he will leave
Buffalo soon because he is afraid
they will kill him.
