As the evening shadows were falling last
night John g. Milburn, president OF the
Pan-Amorican exposition, reverenty ut
tered these words as he stood before the
house in which the nations patient was
fighting so bravely with death. And all
who have been at the Milburn residence
reflect the view that the battle will be
won and the prayers of the world VIII
be- answered.

been a victory. Faith in the outcome

The president is by no means out of

Queries at the home of President Mil
burn are fruitless. The street in the i'm
mediate vicinity of the house where the
president lies is roped off and guarded
by police, who will admit nobody. 1t
was announced earlier in the evening
that official bulletins would be issued at
regular intervals and upon these the
public must wait, as the physicians and
officials refuse absolutely to give out any
information
Made Partial Confession.
When charged by District Attorney
Penny with being the instrument Of an
organized band Of cOnspiratOrs he pro-
tested vehemently that he never even
thought Of perpetrating the crime until
yesterday morning. After long and per-
Eistent questioning il was announced at
police headquarters that the prisoner had
made partial confession, which the
prisoner had signed.
As near as can be learned 0T the
facts contained in the corfcssi-. are rs
follows:
The mans name is Leon Clolr z. F'
is Of Pclish-German extra tion. His
home is in Cleveland, whence lie has
seven brothers and sisters.
He is an avowed anarchist and an ar
| dent disciple of Emma Goldman, whose
| teachings he alleges are responsible for
yesterdays attack on the president. He
denies steadfastly that he is the instru-
mcnt OF any body of anarchists or the
| tool of any coterie Of plotters. He de-
clares he did not even have a confeder-
ate. His only reason for the deed, he
| declared, is that he believed the present
form Of government in the United States
was unjust and he concluded the most
| effective way to remedy it was to kill the
| president. These conclusions, he de-
clares, he reached through the teachings
Of Emma Goldman. Though his place Of
residence is still a matter of doubt
the minds of the officials they are in
clined to believe that Cleveland is cor
rect. The Cleveland directory shows a
large number of persons Of the name Of
Czolgosz, all within the radius of a few
blocks in the neighborhood of Hosmer
street and Acland avenue.
OniciaI Statement of Injuries.
Secretary Courtelyou makes the fol-
| lowing official statement of the presi-
dents injuries;
"The president was shot about 4
o'clock. One bullet struck him on the
upper portion of the breast bone glancing
and not penetrating; the second bullet
penetrated the abdomen five inches below
the left nipple and one and half inches

the bullet wound. 1t was found that the
bullet had penetrated the stomach. The
opening in the front wall Of the stomach
was carefully closed with silk sutures
after which search was made for a
hole in the back wall Of the stomach.
This was found and also closed in the
same way. The further course of the
bullet could not be discovered, although

No injury to the intestines or other abb
dominal organ was discovered.

In Midst of Protectors

The president stood in the center Of
the big auditorium. smiling and grnsping
cordially the hand Of every man and wo-
man who approached him. Gathered
about him were Gordon of United
States marines, several detectives, among
them Geary, solomon and Hennfelt,
of the Buffalo police. The detectives
were within three feet of Mr.. Mckinley,
watching closely every man who ap-
preached. They We're not expecting an
attack on his life; il is customary for de-
tectvcs to guard him thus whenever he
appears in public.
The young man moved slowly along the
narrow aisle which stretched through the
crowd. waiting his turn leisurely. He
held his handkerchief-covered hand with
the greatest care. The detectives saw
him and supposed his hand panied him.
They had not the faintest suspicion that
it clenchcd a weapon which was to
strike perhaps death blow to the man
whose life they were guarding. The
president shook hands with lady. The
young man moved up close to him, eager
apparently to grasp his hand.
just MS the president finished greeting

man. the would-be assassin sidled up tC

and shouting: Lynch him-lynch him
hang him--kill him." Some clutched at
the horses, others at the wheels Of the
carriage. The police and soldiers fought
back the crowd and the carriage galloped
away.
The escape Of the would-be assassin
from the hands Of the infuriated people
was in accord with the wishes Of the
president As the president sank back
in the arms Of Detective Gary and Presi-
dent Milburn, after the shooting, he
yasped the name Of his secretary, Cor
ielyou. The secretary bent over him.
"Be Careful About My Wife"
BE careful about my wife," he gasped

Then, writhing in the agony Of his
wounds, the president turned and saw
his attempted murderer helpless on the
floor beneath the blows Of soldiers and
detectives He raised his right hand,
stained with the blood Of his wound, and
drawing down the head of his secretary,
he whispered:

The young man who shot the presiden
had practically no difficulty in gettini

nature Of the reception made it possible
for everyone to get into the big tempt

AusnssIn Quickly Captured.

Then came cOmmotiOn. With the
leap of n tiger three men threw them
selves forward as with one impulse and
sprang toward the would-be assassin.
Two of them were United States secret
service men who were on the lookout and
whose duty it was to guard against just
such a calamity as had here bcfallen the
president and the nation. The third was
a bystander, negro, who had only an
instant previously grasped in his dusky
palm the hand Of the president.
As one man the trio hurled themselves
upon the presidents assailant. In
twinkling he was borne to the ground,
his weapon was wrested from his grasp
and strong arms pinioned his arms.
A murmur arose. spread and swelled to
n hum of confusion, then grew to babel
of sounds and later to pandemonium OF
noises. The crowds that a moment be-
fore had stood mute and motionless IN

The president, though well guarded by
United States secret service detectives
was fully exposed to such an attack as
occurred. He stood at the edge of the
raised dais upon which stands the great
pine organ mt the east side Of the mag
nilicrnt structure. Throngs of people
crowded in at the various entrances, to
gaze upon their well-hcloved executive,
perchance 10 clasp his hand, and then
fight their way ont in the good-natured
mob that every minute swelled and null
tiplied at the points Of ingress and egress
TO the building.
Ii was shortly after p. m. when one
of the throng which surrounded the pres
idential party a medium-sized man OF
ordinary appearance and plainly dressed
in black, approached as IL to greet the
president His right hand was bandaged
in a white handkerchief, as if the hand
was sore He was patient in line and
presented no appearance out of the or
dinary. He stepped briskly up to the
president when it came his turn, graspcd
the extended hand in his left hand and
pressed the bandaged hand against the
presidents body. There were two quick,
slightly muffled reports and wisp of
smoke rose from the bandaged hand.
The bandage was merely the covering OF
n revolver with which the dastardly
crime was committed.
For n moment there was silence-the
silence that follows the discharge Of a
bombshell. The president stood stock
still. n look of hesitancy, almost of be-
wilderment on his face. Then he re-
treated n step while pallor began to
steal over his features The multitude
only partially aware that something Sc
rious had happened paused in the silence
of surprise. while necks were craned
and all eyes turned as one toward the
rostrum where great tragedy was being
| enacted.
