toward the terrace eager for d
glimpse of the prisoner. At po'
lice headquarters they were met
by a strong Gordon of police, which
was drawn up across the pavement
on Pearl street and admittance
was denied to any but officials
In a few minutes the crowd had
grown to thousands until the street
was completely blocked.
LYNCHING CRIES HEARD.
1t was at this juncture that some
one raised the cry of "Lynch him"
Like flash the cry was taken up,
and the whole crowd as if ignited
by single match thus applied,
reechoed the cry, "Lynch him."
"Hang him." Closer the crowd
surged. Denser the throng be-
came as new arrivals swelled each
moment the swaying multitude.
The situation was becoming eriti-
cal, when suddenly the big door
was flung open and a squad OF re-
serves advanced with solid front,
drove the crowd back from the
curb, then across the street and
gradually succeeded in dispensing
them from about the entrance to
the station. By this time there
were probably $4,000 people as
sembled in the vicinity of Seneca
and Erie streets and the terrace.
The crowd was so great that it be-
came necessary to rope off the en-
tire street in front of police
headquarters, and at late hour
tonight the police were still pa
trolling the streets in the neighbor-
hood in squads of three or four.
Inside the station house we're Dis
trict Attorney Penny, Superintend-
ent of Police Bull and other
officials. The prisoner at first
proved quite communicative, so
much SO in fact that little depend
ence could be placed on what he
said. He first gave his name as
Fred Neiman, and said his home
was in Detroit, and that he had
been in Buffalo about week. He
said he had been boarding at d
place in Broadway. Later this
place was located as John Nowak's
saloon, at Raine's 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 he had come to
see the Pan-American, and that
| his home was in Toledo. He had
been alone at all times about No
walks place, and had no visitors.
In his room was found small
travelling bag of cheap make. 1t
contained an empty cartridge box
and a few clothes.
REAL NAME DISCLOSED.
With these facts in hand, the
police went at the prisoner with
renewed vigor in the effort to OBJ
tain either a full confession or
straight account of his identity
and movements prior to his arrival
in Buffalo. He at first admitted
that he was an anarchist, in SYM
pathy at least, but denied stren-
uously that the attempt on the life
of the president was a result OF a
preconcerted plot of any anarchist
society. At times he was defiant,
and again Indifferent, but at no
time did he betray the remotest
sign of remorse. He declared the
deed was not premeditated, but in
the same breath refused to say why
he perpetrated it. When charged
by District Attorney Penny with
being the instrument of an organ
lied band of conspirators, he pro-
tested vehemently that he never
even thought of perpetrating the
crime until this morning. After
long and persistent questioning il
was announced at police headquar-
ters that the prisoner had made 8
partial confession, which he sign
ed. The mans name is Leor
| Czolgosz.
