NO A TTACK ATM'KINLEY TOMB
CAPTAIN OF THE TROOPS ON GUARD

Canton. Ohio, Sept. 50-The officers and men of
Company g OF the 14th United States Infantry on
duty at West Lawn Cemetery, guarding the resting
place Of President Mckinley, worked diligently to-
day Investigating the strange story in which De
Prend. the private who was on duty at the top of
the vault Sunday night, figured prominently
The same reticence, imposed by military regua-
tions, which prevented the officers and from
making detailed statements con erning the Incl
dents last night operative to-day. From inter-
views with all the commanding officers several
non-conmissioned officers and A number of pri-
Yates, the following gathered:
All the commissioned officers and officers of
the company in general accepted fully the story
lated by De Prend last night, and really believed
that the providers about the vault with
good purpose. To-day only of the commissioned
officers adhered to the belief that attempt had
been made upon the sentinel for ghoulish purposes
He said ut the real thing. 1t prompted
by the pure cussedness of some people who thought
TO bring reproach upon the nation by doing damage
to the resting place of the dead President
All the men who were seen expressed the belief
that De Prend acted in good faith and that he
lated only what he believed to be the real crcun-
stances With the captain and others he went
the details of the whole affair at least dozen
times and, it is said, he did vary in a matter
of Importance. Particular inquiry was made to
his sobriety at the time, and it is said that ii is
established beyond all reasonable doubt that he
not been drinking and that he was in his normal
sentinel was overweight by the loneliness of his
position, that his nerves were overtaxed and that
imagination contributed of the details re
lated in good faith. The post regarded by all
particularly isolated and depressing to the men
guarding it at night and it is understood that
sentinels will be stationed the point In the
future
Captain Biddle authorized this statement:
I think the sentinel deceived himself as to the
occurrence. I do think actual attack as re-
lated by him. occurred. When daylight came
evidence of struggle found.
The matter has teen reported in full to General
Otis at Chicago, commanding the department
which the guard is attached. Whether there will
be formal inquiry into the matter remains for
General Otis to determine Officers the Gene
terry expressed the hope that inasmuch actu-
al harm had been done. formal action would be
taken.
The usual guard and patrol were on duty to-day.
Last night, after the story of Du Prend, the force
was increased by the addition of ten Leuten-
ant Ware arrived from Fort Wayne Mich, to-day,
and relieved Lieutenant Avery. who went back to
the fort.
