man that he could not see the presi-
dent just at that moment as he was
engaged, but that he might possibly
arrange to see him after a while. In.
stantly, the man having been recog-
nized, a hurry call was sent for a
police van. "a as.
Scarcely had the call been sent
when Elliott became violent. The
officers and attendants, after a brief
but strenuous struggle, overpowered
him. Officer Cissell made an exam1,
nation of his pockets, but found only
a pair of shears and a large penknife.
The man became quiet, but refused to
leave the White house until he was
forced to do so. The officers conveyed
him to the police van, which by that
time was waiting at the gate of the
White house grounds. The struggle
in the van occurred almost immediate
ly after Elliott had been placed in
the vehicle. He drew his revolver
from a pocket which seemed to be an
enlarged watch fob. AS that is a most
unusual place in which to carry a
pistol, Officer Cissell, in his hurried
search, had overlooked the weapon.
The pistol vas an ordinary bulldog
fi%ve-shooter of cheap pattern.
Taken to Hospital.
At the emergency hospital, where
his wounds were dressed, Elliott said
that he was a Swede, and that his
home was in Minneapolis. From the
hospital the man was taken to the
First precinct police station and in
carcerated in one of the detention
wards. An official examination as to
his mental condition will be held.
At the st. James hotel it was said
that Elliott arrived there last Wednes-
day evening. He registered as P. O.
Ell, New York. He had no baggage,
and paid for his room in advance. He
conducted himself about the hotel in
a quiet, gentlemanly manner, and no
body with whom he came in contact
imagined that he was insane.

Ellis said he had spent one winter

| three rich halls while gambling, but
had not made much of anything since
then.
When asked what he had done after
leaving Cripple Creek, he shut up like
a clam, and intimated that the news.

that was dangerous. Then, seeming to
think better of what he had said, he
pledged the reporter to the strictest
secrecy regarding his presence in Salt
Lake city, and declared that he had
met a number of people here whom he
knew, but that they had not identi.
fed him.
Elliott or Ellis is a very muscular
man, a noted thief-catcher, who, as
marshal of Cripple Creek, took some
of the most notorious outlaws that
ever infested the mining camp.
He was always, while in Colorado,
| considered a nan without fear, and
volunteered his services in the more
desperate cases where outlaws were
| to be hunted down.
He was for a time n of the deputy
sheriffs of Ell Paso county, Colorado,
before Teller county, which contains
the Cripple Creek mining district,
was taken out of it, and Bowers, who
was then sheriff of the county, con
sidered him a very brave and reliable
officer.
Elliott. or Ellis, vas a very clear
headed man while in Colorado, and his
Judgment was considered good. He
was also deemed a professional wit
ness, and the side that he was on
was considered fortunate.
When seen in Salt Lake he appear
| ed to be weak, eneryated and ratified,
like a man who had been on a long
spree, and very much unlike himself
in that respect.

ARRESTED BY GUARDS AFTER
FIERCE STRUGGLE.
TRIES TO SHOOT OFFICER
Crazy Man and Policeman Sustain
Bad Wounds During the Me-
lee That Ensued.

Washington, D. c., Oct. ga des-
perate hand-to-hand encounter with
an armed insane man who was deter
mined to see President Roosevelt oc.
Cured in the vestibule of the White
house shortly before noon today. The
man, who gave his name as Peter
Elliott and his home as Minneapolis,
was overpowered by the officers on
duty at the White house entrance and
carried to a police van which had
been summoned. He was placed in
the van in the custody of two officers.
Seeming to realize for the first time
that he was under arrest, Elliott be.
gan a furious struggle with his cap
tors for liberty. He drew a revolver
and attempted to shoot Officer James
Cissell.
The officer grabbed his hand and
wrenched the weapon from his grasp.
Elliott's struggles were so fierce, how.
ever, that the two officers in the
cramped quarters of the van were un-
able to overcome him. Officer Cissell
then drew his revolver and fired two
shots to attract attention.
Cut in Struggle.
Chief Usher Thomas Stone and Off.
Ger Parker, of the White house force,
who had assisted in carrying Elliott
to the van, attracted by the shots,
rushed back to the vehicle and assist

gle within the van Elliott had broken
a glass panel with his head, severely
cutting his head and face. Officer
ACissell sustained a serious cut on his
right arm, two inches or flesh being
cut out of the feshy part of the arm.
He suffered considerably from loss OF
blood, but his injuries are not serious

Ellis Well Known as Marshal o.
Cripple Creek.

Salt Lake, Utah, Oct. 6.-Peter Ellis,
alias Peter o. Elliott, is believed to
be the former marshal of Cripple
Creek. He was a Salt Lake visitor
three weeks ago yesterday and in
talk with a newspaper man with whom
he was well acquainted said that he
had just returned from the Klondike
and was On his way to see the presi-
dent to get a job in the department

The letter was singned peter ELL
the statement being made Immediate
ly under the signature that the writer
was registered at the hotel as Peter
Elliott. 1t was evident to Secretary
Loeb that his correspondent was in
sane and he issued directions at once
that the officers on duty both at the
White house and at the executive
offices should be on their guard
against him. The photograph was
turned over to the secret service
officers.
Nothing was seen of the man un-
til yesterday, when the president at
tended morning services at Grace Re
formed church. Elliott appeared near
the entrance to the church and made
an effort to speak to the president,
but he was foiled in his endeavor by
the secret service officers. AT that
time Inc man manifested no symp.
toms of insanity and quietly left the
vicinity of the church when ordered
to do so by the officers.
About 10 o'clock this morning he
appeared at the executive offices. En-
terlng the vestibule he inquired for
President Roosevelt. One of the door,
keepers asked him why he wanted to

"Oh, just for fun" he responded.

Elliott was told to return next
month. He smiled and walked away
not offering the slightest objection to
the rebuff which he had received. His
appearance attracted very little atten-
ton and he gave no indication at that
time of insanity.
Officers on Watch.
All the officers both at the White
house and at the executive offices,
however, were warned to be on the
for the man and not to take
any chances with him. Shortly before
II o'clock Elliott walked up to the
main door of the White house, step
ped inside and inquired of officer
Clssell if he might see the president.
Chief Usher Stone and Officer Parker
were standing just within the vesti-
bule at the time. Mr.. Stone told the

The judgment continues: .In the for

surrounded not merely with poetic, freely
invented collateral details, but are closely
connected with the basest and most repre-
hensible human conduct. The erring Mary
believes she can influence Jesus by her
beauty. while the high priest hopes to
seduoe Him by her allurements. The
intrigue between Judas Iscariot and Mary
and the jealousy OF the former contribute
to the betrayal and crucinIion Of the Sa.

repentant Mary consider It possible that
