Will HOLD TRIAL
AFTER ELECTION
Prosecutor Says Schrank's Case
Will Come Up Then.

Milwaukee, Oct. 16.-State's Attorney
Winfred C. label of Milwaukee coun-
ty, definitely announced that John
Schrank, Colonel Roosevelt's assail-
ant, would not be brought to trial un.
til after the national election, Nov. s..
He said the trial would be opened
some time between Nov. II and Is.
Mr.. label, said to be the only So
cialist states attorney in the country,
gave three reasons for his decision to
put off the trial for one month.
He said, first, that it was only rea
sonable to await the result of Colonel
Roosevelt's injury before placing
Schrank on trial; second, he said he
had no desire to unduly crowd the de-
fendant, and third, gave it as his opin
ion that it would be unwise to cell the
case during the final struggle in the
presidential campaign.
''It is my desire to try this case
Justly and expeditiously," said Mr..
label, land this will be done, but We
wish to avoid having the plain GRIM
inal aspects of the case in any way
involved in the national political sit
uation. 1t would not be fair to any of
the people involved to do so. If we
went to trial before election day it is
almost certain that the matter in one
way or another would be dragged into
the campaign by one or another of
the big political parties"
Taking up discussion Of the case
as viewed by him, the Milwaukee
county prosecutor declared as far as
surface indications went, Schrank was
sane.
"If Schrank is insane" said Mr..
label, ut seems that there is method
in his madness when he selects for
the scene of his crime state where
there is no capital punishment"

New York, Oct. 16.-Gamblers and
