worn out by long period of exacting
labor. l set out for Philadelphia with
the purpose of spending a few days ut
Atlantic City. When l reached the
Broad street station in the Quaker
City was startled by number of po-
licemen crying my name. l stepped
up to one, who pointed to boy with
an urgent message for me. President
Mckinley had been shot at Buffalo.
and my presence was required at our
Philadelphia office at once. A mes
sage had been sent to me at Trenton,
but my train had left the station pre-
cisely two minutes ahead of its ar
rival. Handing my baggage to hotel
porter, 1 jumped into cab and dash
ed away to our office. l remained
there until dawn of the following
morning.
The opening pages of the story of
the assassination were badly written,
and I ordered substitute prepared.
An inexperienced reporter stood beside
President Mckinley in the Music hall
at Buffalo when Czolgosz fired the IA
tai shot He seized neighboring tele-
phone and notified our Buffalo CORE
spondent and then pulled out the wires
In order to render the telephone a
wreck, so that it was full half hour
before any additional details could be
secured.
I ordered competent men and expert
telegraph operators from Washington,
Albany. New York and Boston to hur-
~ to Buffalo by the fastest trains.
All that night the Buffalo Office was
pouring forth a hastily written but
faithful and complete account Of the
tragedy. and by daybreak relief force
was on the ground. Day by day
through the long vigil while the presi-
dents life hung in the balance each
incident was truthfully and graphical
ly reported. In the closing hours of
the great tragedy false reports of the
presidents death were circulated for
the purpose Of influencing the stock
market and to counterfeit them Sec
rotary Cortelyou wrote frequent sign
ed statements giving the facts to the
