The man is without doubt dement,
ed. Two insane proclamation"
were found on his person, in which
is set forth that it was his duty to
kill any man who aspired to a third
term.
Quick action on the part of by
ISLANDERS alone saved him from sud-
den and violent death.
He was hustled to the police sta
ton, where he first refused to give
his name and reiterated time and
time again that he was justified in
killing the colonel and was sorry
that he had not done so.
He said that he had been trying
to get chance to fire the shot that
would remove Roosevelt from the
world for long while, but had been
unable to get an opportunity.
Admitting his guilt in district
court to charge of assault with in
tent to kill and murder, and waving

procedure did not consume more
than a few moments, Schrank mere
shot Roosevelt and waving prelimi-

bail was fixed at $500, which he
was unable to furnish.
The penalty called for by law for
Schrank's crime is from one to fif-
teen years.
While the questioning was going
on the crowd began to gather up
around the bench. Before the depu-
ties noticed them there were several
scores of persons gathered close to
the prisoner. There was no violence
even suggested, for the crowd was
only curious one. After the crowd
had been forced back to their seats
the prisoner was led back to the bull
pen" Here he sat alone, the other
prisoners croWding away from him
as one would from a snake.
The letter which was found on the
man who fired at the eX-president is
clearly the work OF an unbalanced
mind. 1t is in a neat, careful hand
writing, but the misspelling of one
or two words shows that it was writ
