CUT UP BY STUDENTS.
Body of Negro Who Tried to Defend
Mckinley on Dissecting Table

Philadelphia, March 27.-Before a
class of students at the Jefferson Medi-
cal college the body of James B. Par
ker, the negro who tried to defend
President Mckinley when he was shot
at Buffalo, was placed on the dissect-
ing table today. Parker died nearly
two weeks ago in the Philadelphia
hospital, where he had for some months
been a charity patient in the depart
ment for insane AS far as known he
had no friends here.
Parker struck the anarchist, Czolgosz
as he fired at President Mckinley, Just
year ago he became insane. Parker
never claimed credit for his act, but
said he was glad it fell to a negro tc
try to save the life of the president
He was a stalwart negro, more than
six feet tall, and was a native OF
Georgia The following story of the
shooting was signed by him:
'I was next in line behind Czolgosz
I tried several times to get in front OF
him, but he pushed me back with his
elbow. There was nothing in his ac-
tons to indicate what he intended do
ing. Just in front Of him was a little
girl She shook hands with the presi-
dent, and then came Czolgosz. He did
not try to shake hands with the presi-
dent with his left hand, as has been
stated. In his right hand he held the
revolver, wrapped in a handkerchief.
Seeing it. the president thought his
hand was sore and put out his hand as
if to take the anarchists left hand.
AS he did SO, Czolgosz fired twice. Ev-
erybody seemed to be struck with
establishment as they heard the shots
and no one moved for a moment, ex-
cept myself
Some way I did not lose my pres
ence of mind. I leaned forward and
strI1cJx him in the nose with nv right
fist, making his nose bleed, and with
my left hand I reached to take the
pistol from him. 1 missed the pistol
and grabbed him by the throat and
choked him. He raised his right hand
and pointed it either at me or the
president, I could not tell which. I am
sure that he meant to fire again. AT
that moment he up with his right
hand, with the burning handkerchief
in it, and the special officer grabbed
the pistol and took it away from him.
Then q marine jumped on the officer

and took the pistol from him, and the
crowd commenced to kick and pummel
him, thinking he had done the shoot
ing. A man whom I believed to be a
secret service officer gave Czolgosz a
terrible blow in the face, which threw
me and him down. Then the OFFICER
who was being attacked through mis-
take kept yelling to the crowd, I'm
not the man. I'm a special officer
There's the man over there pointing
to where I had Czolgosz on the floor

Considering that in the rast forty years
three Presidents have been murdered and
three Vice Presidents have succeeded
them, and that previously two Vice Pres
idents have become President through
death from natural causes, it Is surpris-
ing thai such Indifference is shown to
the vice presidency.
All statesmen of the first rank are am
bilious to become President, but when the
second Office is named they shake their
heads and try to move out of range The
reason, of course, is, not that the vice
presidency is not an important and digni1
fed Office, bur that it has come to be look
ed upon as shelf for political nonen-
tity. Once man becomes Vice Presi-
dent, his career is thought to be ended
though Theodore Roosevelt showed that
this is a mistaken notion. The feeling
is so strong that more than once political
parties have named for Vice President
men who were distinguished only for their
wealth and were known to possess no
ability that would enable them to become
