Until this is done and the request
complied with. the prisoner will remain
in his cell at the police headquarters.
Judge Mellon announced that this
action was taken to determine imme
diately if the bullet which entered Col.
Roosevelt's body had been poisoned.
The judge said that his action was
prompted by memories of the bullet
which killed President Mckinley and
also by a personal desire to give the
surgeons at Chicago every possible aid
in treating Col. Roosevelt's wound.
Judge N. b. Mellon of the district
court Immediately after the arraign-
ment of Schrank, ordered Professor E.
w. Semer, head of the chemical de :.
partment of Marquette University. u
make a chemical test of bullets re-
raining in the would be slayer's re-
volYer.
Sehrank's arraignment caused little
excitement at the city hall. where
Judge Melons courtroom is located.
Sehrank, between two detectives,
who lowered a foot above his head.
was brought to one side of Judge
Melons bench.
District Attorney label read the
formal charge of attempted murder.
based on a warrant which he had
caused to be issued, this morning. In
reply to a question Schrank said he
had no counsel. The district attor-
ney said:
DO you want this case tried in
hurry. Schrank?"
Yes, SIR" said Schrank.
"All right" remarked Judge Mellon.
II think this disposes of the matter
SO far as We can go, this morning. L
will fix bail at $500, the maximum
under the charge upon which the prls-
oner has been arraigned.'
After Schrank bad been taken from
the ante room and down the elevator
from the seventh floor, buzz OF con-
versation filled the court room for II
few moments as spectators told each
other the identity of the light haired,
smooth faced young man.
Sohrank pleaded guilty.
The city detective bureau delivered
him to Sheriff Arnold of Milwaukee
county as soon as the brief arraign-
ment at Judge Neelen's court had
been concluded.
Sheriff Arnold took the prisoner to
the county jail, directly across the
street from the central police station,
where the prisoner had spent the
night. and Sehrank was given cell
near the deputies room, where a close
watch could be kept on him.
"In my survey of the prisoner, said
Sheriff Arnold, Il was impressed with
the probability that his act was that
of a brooding recluse and not the
crime OF a man agitated by fellows in
societies or clubs of an Anarchistic
or semi-Anarchistic character
It was said that Schrank would not
be taken into the criminal court TO
have sentence pronounced on him, Tor
a month.
This decision, Judge Neelen said,
| in setting the trial for the November
term, was prompted by the possibility
| of a serious change in Col. Roose-
| velt's condition.
1T is only reasonable to await the
outcome of Col. Roosevelts injury be-

said the judge.
