Norwich bulletin., 1912-10-16

that city former Senator Albert Rev. eridge of Indiana was sent after a con- ference with the candidate with mes- sage that the colonel insisted be read.
 No Political Plans Made.
 No arrangements for the future plans of Colonel Roosevelt were made today. All such action depends upon the length of time demanded of him by the physicians.
 Until the ultimatum of the doctors against callers, tbe corridor outside Colonel Rooseveit's room was filled with those coming or. going, and with those who sought to extetd any aid that might be useful. After the order was issued the corridor became as qui- ct as on days when the roster of pa- tients contained no name so well known as that of the colonel.
 Out in the corridor all afternoon watch was kept by patrolman, and here the small band of attendants gath cred, and from the discussion a new light was turned on the actual story of the attempted assassination
 Saw Pistol Before Shot Was Fired.
 It was discovered that Martin, the secretary that seized the assailant, saw the pistol before the shot was fired, and that the weapon was dis charged just as he flung himself upon Schrank. Powerful of build, he was forcing Schrank's neck back till the assailant was gasping for breath. Henry F. Cochems, who had arisen from his seat iR the automobile, shout ed several times:
 Don't kill him, John; don't kill him, John."
 Colonel Laughs Over Incident. Martin, wrestling the pistol from Schrank and holding the assailant in a grip fast rendering him unconscious, I shouted back, resentfully, My name is not John."
 The colonel laughed at the incident and recalled it today. The patient was | interested in the notices hanging on | the wall of his room. which he in spected when he walked to and from the rooom in which an X-ray photo graph was taken of him. He gazed long laide A. Proctor's "Sailorboy, which ornamented the anteroom. It read: Judge not the workings of his brain, And of his heart thou canst not t-see; What looks to thy dim eyes a stain l In Gods pure light may only be. A scar brought from some well known field,
 1, Where thou wouldst only faint and yield"
 Apostolic Benediction from Pope.
 Sisters passing quietly along the l hallway crossed themselves and mur- mured prayers when passing framed l aostolic benediction signed by Pope Plus, asking divine favor on Dr. J. B, Murphy, chief physician at the col onels bedside and any patients he might have within these walls.
 Colonel Roosevelt talked little today 1 of the assault. Most of that discussion was with those who called on him.
 Colonel Examines His Wound
 He asked seriously how his wound booked and leaned his head forward | from his half sitting posture and sur- veyed 1t himself.
 That doesn't look bad, doctor" he said. What do you think?'' I That, as it is, doesn't bother LIE, responded Dr.s Murphy, nodding to his l fellowos, Dr. Arthur Dean Bevan and Dr. Terrell, who accompanied him.
 Tt is what you do to it."
 Most Refreshing Rest for Week.
 The patient looked up interrogative- ly, and was informed by the doctors by way of precaution, that he had bet ter see no one so that the rest would remove further any possibility of a set back. ,EIe was disappointed for a few minutes, but the examination beins over, and pint of butternilk having been ordered, he reached again for hi: books and smiled "All right : An hours sleep kept up his goot spirits, and he said it had been ths most refreshing rest he had enjoyed for week.
 This will give me good rest up
 anyway" he said, 'and if must sta!
 here, suppose I might as well mak, the most of it.
