ONCE SOUGHT PRESIDENT.
SOCIALIST SHOOTS NAN.
Fatally Wounds Merchant-W Vas
OUerpo5cered an Wyhite House.

Pittsburg, Oct 3-Anthony w. Oleson, who
shot Hugh Hamilton here to-day is thought
by Superintendent Alexander Wallace of the
police to be the same man who tried to reach
President Roosevelt on Monday afternoon, Octo-
ber s. 1908.
superintendent Wallace thinks that the Oleson
now in Central Station is a former resident of
Minneapolis, and that on the date mentioned
he entered the lobby of the White House armed
with a revolver and knife. When discovered by
Secret Service men the put up a fierce
fight, officer Cissel being wounded. Investiga-
ton October g. 1893 developed that the man
was anarchist and that he was known as
Peter Elliott and Peter Oleson. He was COM
mitted TO an insane asylum and escaped, being
next heard of in Ohio, The Youngstown (O)
police wired here tonight that they believe
Oeson could throw considerable light on the
murder of a woman supposed to be his wife
ago. OIeson answers the description Of the man
wanted by the Ohio officials Oleson is a ma
chinist
Oleson fatally wounded Hugh Hamilton, of
Greensboro. Penn, at to-day in front of
the Merchants Hotel in Watet-st Oleson fired
four shots into Hamilton's body. after which
he caused disturbance in the surrounding
streets He was finally placed under arrest.
The cause of the shooting is known. The
police found several socialist pamphlets and a
Washington railroad ticket on Oleson's person
In his deposition Hamilton said he had never
seen OleSOn before The latter admitted to the
police that Hamilton a stranger, but re-
fused to give a reason for the shooting.

that it was in the nature of Rafties
