WOULD BE ASSASSINS
TO ESCAPE TRIAL

Milwaukee, Wis. July 24.-John
Schrank who attempted to assassinate
Col. Roosevelt in Milwaukee, in Octo-
Der, 1912, probably never will be tried
on the charge of assault with intent
to kill, according to Judge A. c. Back
us of the municipal court, who today
received word from physicians in the
criminally insane department of the
state prison at Waupum to the effect
the Schrank is daily growing worse
from a mental standpoint.
The assault charge still stands
against the prisoner and he cannot be
tried until he had been pronounced
sane. Should the case ever come up
the point will be raised as to his san
ity when the assault was committed

We do not pray. or weep. or wall;
We have no dread,
No fear to pass beyond the veil
That hides the dead.
And yet we question, dream and guess,
But knowledge we do not possess.
We ask, yet nothing seems to know ;
We cry in vain.
There is no master of the Show
Who will explain.
Or from the future tear the mask
And vet we dream and still we ask.
Is there beyond the silent night,
An endless day?
Is death a door that leads to light?
We cannot say.

We do not know. We hope and wait
