The most remarkable part of his features is his eyes. They are red-rimmed, blue and watery.

I expected that I would be torn to pieces before I would have time to fire at myself, even if I had planned suicide. "My intention was to shoot repeat edly at Roosevelt until I knew he was dead, and by that time it would have been too late for me to do anything to myself or for myself.
