_ 0)L ROOSEVELT HURT
BV INSANE MAN'S SHOT
ATTACKED BY DEVESTED NEW
YORKER.
IV hen Address is Finished, Candidate J

Would-be Assassin.
Milwaukee. Wis., Oct. 14.?Cel.
Koosewlt was shot in the breast by
an assassin as he entered the autoin
front of the Hotel Gi'patrickj
to start for an auditorium, where he !
was speaking tonight. He insisted on !
going to the hall, there quieted the
crowd that heard he had been shot,j
spoke from 8.20 until 9.45 o'clock,!
though apparently weak, and then was-,
taken to an emergency hospital. j1
The X-ray of Col. Roosevelt's wound j
showed that the bullet lodged in the ;
chest wall and did nor penetrate the i
> lung. The wound is not considered
serious. 1
The bullet struck a manuscript of
the speech which he delivered tonight,
. and this probably saved his life. 1
After an hour's questioning tne as- j
sassin gave his name as John Schrank
of 370 east Tenth street. New York. '
From notes found in the prisoner's j
pockets it is evident that he is demented
on the subject of the colonel's !
seeking a third term.
Col. Roosevelt, left the hospital at ;
11.23 p. m. He was able to walk unassisted.
"I am feeling fine," he said.
He will leave for Chicago before 1
midnight.
Henry F. Cochems seized the man
and liela him until policemen came up.
A mob surged around the prisoner 1
who apparently is mentally upsec on
the subject cf Roosevelt's running for
another term as president.
The man, who is small of stature,
adinitted firing the shot and said that
"a ,ai lc";k'i? r fcr a l*ii:\l t rm
ought to be shot."
In notes found in the man's pockets
at the police station were statements

who had said, indicating Ooi.

the clothing of the man who did the.

fired. (
Martin leaped over the car a second f
after the bullet sped on its way. Col.
Roosevelt barely moved as the shot 1
was fired. Before the crowd knew 1
what had happened Martin, who is "t
six fret tall and a former football <
player, had landed squarely on the
assassin's shoulder and had borne him
to the ground. He threw his right arm
about the man's neck with a death- (
like grip and with his left arm seized i
the hand that held the revolver. In j i
another second he naa disarmed
man. | ]Ool.
Roosevelt stood calmly looking i (
on, as though nothing had happened, h
Martin picked the man lip as though ; <
he were a child and carried him the ,'r
few feet which separated him from j
the car almost to the side of the col- 'q
onel. j"\
"Here he is," said Martin. "Look ]
Lit him, colonel." j i
Crowd Enraged. j t
All this happened within a few s^c-;
onds and Col. Roosevelt stood gazing ' (
rather curiously at the man who at- g
tempted his lit^ oeiore me siumum (
srowd realized what was. Then one ' c.
angry growl went up. f
"Lynch him. Kill him." cried a hunc
3red men. The crowd pressed in on ( ^
them and Martin and Capt. Girard, |
who had followed Martin over the
side of the automobile, were caught j
with their prisoner in the midst, of t
1 ' J 1 " '* ? J .1 ^ J % % % S\ *> |
a struggling inrong ui uwuucucu mcu. j
It seemed for a moment that he j
would be torn to pieces and it was ,!
Col. Roosevelt himself who intervened '
r
on his behalf. |
I.;
He raised his hand .and motioned to
che crowu to fall back.
"Stop, stop," he cried; "stand back; f
don't hurt him." ' ^
The men in the crowd at first were j
not disposed to heed his words, but1 f
at length fell back and permitted1 1
Martin and Capt. Girard to carry the , f
man into the hotel. ,-?
After a short struggle the a?sassin e
gave up ard was carried without re-1sistance
out Qf the reach cf the crowd. I
"Are you hurt, colonel?" a hundred,
voicss called out. ! c
i
' Oh, no," he responded with a's
smile; "missed me that time. T'm ]
not hurt a bit. I think we'd better be' i
going: on." he said to the members of't
his party, "or we will be late." i c
L
Didn't Know ile Was. j *
Xo one in the party, including Col. j *
I
Roosevelt himself, entertained the;
slightest notio.i that the colonel had j'(
been shot. He felt no shock or pain
at the time and it was assumed that j'(
the bullet went wild. As soon as CoVj'S
Roosevelt had assured himself the! t
assassin was safe in the hands of the I ?
police he .cave orders "to drive on to . i
th? auditorium. i t
They had driven hardly one of the i c
four blocks frcjn the hotel to the j ?
auditorium when John McGrath, an-j c
ot:i?T of Col. Roosevelt's secretaries i 1
nt xre'l a short exclamation a-id point- j *

"Look, colonel," he said, "iliere is a

"quietude is absoluteiv essential." | 1

that it was not yet necessary to probe j

Chicago. Oct. ltf.?At 10 o'clock Col.
Roosevelt was visited by J. B. Murphy,
head surgeon in charge of the case,
Dr. Terrell and Dr. McCauley. The
examination resulted in thoir an
nouncerii nt that the condition of the
patient is normal at present and th^i>
is no'indication of sepsis in the wonnd
or of pleural complications.
Chicago, Oct. 1?>.?The first x-ray
plate which definitely showed the lv.ilrlet
in Col. Roosevelt's chrst was developed
late this afternoon. The bullet
is khown partly imbedded in fracture
in the fourth rib, a-)0i't four!
inches from the sternum. Th^ bullet j
is much flattened and spread out of j
shape. It. is crushed into the upper!

of bone project near it. The radio-j
graph shows an extraordinary spread j
nnd arch to the uninjured ribs, indi-:
iting the unusual size of the colonel's |
' and development of his chest. |
The position of the bullet is at the
' ?r corner of a right angle trianthe
apex of which is in the middle
'f ternum, perpendicularly opposite
fli< missile, and the other corner of
.vh ^h is the supra-sternal notch.
V.-;.-es laid on Col. Roosevelt's bare
clust to form a guiding line on the!
plate show the exact location of the
bullet with reference to the ribs and
sternum.
Won't Toll.
The -surgeons in charge of the case j
from the first have refused to state j
in any manner whether the flesh was
lacerated in the passage of the bullet.
Xo information on this point can be
obtained from the plate.
Asked tonight, when the radiograph j
was finished, if the wound was lacer-j
ated, Dr. Terrell, who had been left j
in charge by Dr. Murphy and Dr. Bev- j
an, said:
"This is a point on which we have !
'.given no -t?.r<?:uent and vi'l not give!
a-y at present. I can not say any- j
"bin2: as >o rlie character of the w~und. j
'The bullet ranged mwaru ana upward
after it struck the colon el's right
side beside the nipple on his right
'breast," Dr. Terrell said. "Its course j
probably was aff cted by the objects
fhrough which it passed. The radio.
does not clearly show its exact
p_t present. According to examinations,
the bullet is from four to
;::chc? Welow the surface and in
reaching its present position made a
slanting wound from six to .-even
inches Ions."
