Warsaw, Ind, Sept 1J-An incident pre-
vious to the attempt OF Czolgosz to assas-
sinate President Mckinley came to light
here to-day and tends to show the would
be assassin had accomplices. Miss Mary
Simons, a daughter of w. H. Simons,
prominent citizen of Warsaw, has re-
turned from Buffalo. and states that she
voluntarily appeared before District At
torney Penny. through the advice Of
friends in Buffalo. She said:
Although l was not in the Temple of
Music when the president was shot, I
was within hearing distance when he
made his speech the day previous. I
noticed a red flag, about two feet in
diameter, wave in the crowd several times
and then disappear. I paid no particular
attention to it. The following day. after
the president was shot, I recalled the in
cident. and became convinced that it was
signal to Czolgosz from confederate"
Miss Simons related to District Attorney
Penny her story. which was corroborated
by her sister and Miss Myers, both of
whom saw tho red flag. That the authori-
ties attached some significance to her
statement is shown by the fact that she
was told not to mention the incident to
newspaper reporters at Buffalo.
