TO
KILL PRESIDENT

decided to lock him up as a matter
of precautlon. AS he was about
six feet tall and very powerfully
built, he called another man to his
assistance, and the two placed
Wetlbronner under arrest.
He was searched on the spot and
a 32 calibre revolver loaded In
every chamber, was found in hts
pocket. A search was then made
of the grounds and in the rear OF
the Presidents house footprints
were discovered In the mud. AS
they could not be accounted tor
and they seemed to indicate that
two trespassers had been proWling
about the grounds, the men on
guard telephoned to OYSTER Bay
for additional help and four other
secret agents, aud a couple o: town
constables went to the Hill.
A guard was established front
and back and on the lanes leading
into the main road.
Weilbronuer was then taken to
| Oyster Bav and incarcerated In the
village lookup.
This morning he was questioned
and from his answers 1t was plain
that he was demented. He will be
thoroughly examined later In the
day.
Weilbronner Is the SON of a Ger.
man truck driver wko lives with
his family OF tour sons and two
daughters, at Syossett, He Is about
2S years old and weighs about 200
pounds, The secret service men
have no doubt but that he intended
to kill the President, should he
have been able to reach him.
