THE PRISONER SAFE IN JAIL.
While the wounded President was be.
ing borne from the Exposition to the
Milburn residence between rows of
onlookors with barred heads, a far differ
ent spectacle was being witnessed along
the route of his assailants journey from
the scene Of his orime to police headquar
tors. The trip was mado so quickly that
the prisoner was safely landed within tho
wide portals of the police station and the
doors closed before any one was aware of
his presence.
The news of the attempted assassina-
tion had in tho meanwhile been spread
broadcast by tho newspapers. Like
wildflre it spread from mouth to mouth.
Then bulletins began to appear on the
boards along Newspaper Row, and whom
tho announcement was made that the
prisoner had been taken to police head
quarters, only two blocks distant from
the newspaper section, the crowds surged
down toward tho terrace eager for a
glimpse of the prisoner. Atpolioe hoad-
quarters they were met by strong COR
don of police, which was drawn up
across tho pavement on Pearl street, and
admittance was denied to any but off,
cials authorized to take part in tho OK
animation of tho prisoner.

In few minutes tho crowd had grown
from tens to hundreds, and these in turn
quickly swollod to thousands until tho
street was completely blocked with q
mass of humanity. 1t was at this juno
ture that some one raised tho cry of
"Lynoh himln Like flash tho cry was
taken up and tho whole crowd, rs if
ignited by tho single match thus applied,
ro-cchoed tho cry, "Lynch himp "IIang
him" Closor tho crowds surged for

doors were flung open and squad of
reserves arrived with solid front, drove
the crowd back from tho curb, then

FIFTY THOUSAND ENRAaED CITIZENS.
BY this time thoro wero probably sc, 600
people assembled in the vicinity of Pearl,
Seneca, Eric stroots and tho Terrace.
The crowd was 30 great that it became
necessary to rope off tho entire street
in front of police headquarters. Inside
tho station house were assembled District
Attorney Penny, Superintendent Bull,
Capt. Reagan and othor officials.
The prisoner at first proved quito COM
