on tie bench in the main hall while
the handcuffs were being removed,
but lie fell over and moaned ami
groined. As soon as the ruffs were

lmnedlntely proceeded to strip him
anl put on a new suit of clothes.

liken to the electric chair. Tile doctor
leclnrcd that the man was suffering
rotn fright and terror. 1ml said that

The collapse of the murderer was a
surprise. En route front Buffalo lie
showed no Indication of breaking
down. He talked some and expressed
his regret for his crime. He said: "I
ant especially sorry for Mrs. McKinley."
He reiterated his former statement
that lie had had no : complices, lie
says the handkerchief was not tied.
He went behind the Tempi' of Music,
arranged the kerchief so as to hide
the weapon and then took his place
in the crowd. Through .taller Mitchell
he sent litis message to his father:
"Tell him I'tn sorry 1 left such a had
