Insisted on Going
To Hall for Speech.

DR.. Scurry Terrell. Of Dallas, Texas,
Colonel Roosevelt's physician, who had
entered the automobile just before it
started off, insisted that the colonel re-
turn to the hotel. He paid no attention
to the suggestion. however, and the ear
was driven on to the auditorium.
As soon az they reached the building
Colonel Roosevelt was taken into a
dressing room and his outer garments
removed. DIR. Terrell with the help OF
other doctors who were in the audito-
rum, came to the dressing room on n
call from the platform and made a SUI
perfcial examination They agreed
that it was impossible to hazard
guess as to the extent of the colonel
injuries and that he should by all
means go at once to a hospital.
Il will deliver this speech or die one
or the other" was Colonel Roosevelts
reply.
Despite the protests of his physi-

dressing room and onto the stand A

Il Wish I Had

re1oiced in secret.
Il wish l had been successful. If
were given another chance this after
| noon l would take better aim and kill
this man. He Is the most dangerous
man in the world today"
Schrank was asked II he felt no re-
greet.
Il regret that l did not kill him" he
replied That is what / feel. 1t was
| the greatest failure Of many failures of
my life.'
Schrank made incoherent remarks
about another completing his task.
He was asked If he meant that there
| was an accomplice who would try to
shoot the colonel
Il did not say there was an accom-
plice. except that all men who know
what this country wants and what
Roosevelt wants are my accomplices. !
| mean there are many men who know
what this one mans ambitions are
They will see to 1t that he never real

Schrank protested that he had not
! been actuated by personal motives in
his attack upon Colonel Roosevelt. He
said that his hatred OF the ex president
dated back to the time when he was
police commissioner OF New York city,
and compelled millions to obey the
Sunday closing law
The proclamations addressed to the
people Of the United States were found
In Schrank's pockets. In them he
claimed to have been inspired to kill
Colonel Roosevelt by visions Once he

AS Colonel Roosevelt was leaving the
Hotel Fitzpatrick shortly after o'clock
last night to. start for the auditorium.

crowd pressed around him. cheering
and attempting to shake his hand The
colonel stepped into the car, stood up
and waved his hat. AS he did so.
Schrank raised his pistol and fired.

secretaries. who was standing beside
him, jumped over the side of the auto

Here he is, colonel; take look at
him." Martin said.
Roosevelt looked curiously at the
shivering little maniac. and as the
crowds anger grew, raised his hand
and shouted:
Stop! stand back! Don't hurt him. "
The crowd moved back with military
discipline, and Martin and Captain
Girard, of Milwaukee, who was with the
party carried Schrank into the hotel
and called for the police.
Colonel Roosevelt was then besieged
with questions of whether or not he
was hurt.
NO" he responded missed me that
time I'm not hurt n bit"
No one in the party seemed to real
iZe that Roosevelt had been shot, and
when the colonel learned that the police
had taken charge of the man who had
shot, he ordered the motor car to pro-
coed 20 the auditorium. AS the car
got under way. one of Roosevelt's sec
retaries uttered cry and pointed to
the colonels breast

Roosevelt, today pleaded guilty to a

Il am guilty as charged. That is all |

Judge n. B. Neleen, in police court,
asked him to plead.
The plea in police court amounted to
a plea on arraignment. The court Is
without power to sentence to the peni-
tertiary. Accordingly plans were made
to transfer Schrank hastily to a guard :
ed chamber in the municipal court,
where he will be asked to enter his plea
again. If he does so, he will be given
the maximum sentence of fifteen years
imprisonment 1t Is expected that he
will begin serving his term in the state
