IAYE HIM A CLOSE CALL
of Bullet Retarded bj >lan
tucrlpt of Speech Which I'oriiier
Prealdent lielivers in Milwaukee
Despite Ilia Injury. — Assailant
Captured and Colonel Intervenes
to Prevent Lynching.
Colonel Roosevelt was shot In the
breast by a would-be assassin as be
entered the automobile in front of
_.0he Hotel Gilpatrlck at Milwaukee,
Wls., to start for an auditorium,
where he was to speak Monday night.
He insisted on going to the hall, there
quieted the crowd that heard he had
been shot, spoke from K:;io until
8:45 o'clock, though apparently
weak, and then was taken to. an
emergency hospital.
Col. Roosevelt's life probably was
saved by a manuscript of the sp*e< h
which he delivered. The bullet
struck the manuscript, which retard
ed its force as it passed through into
the flesh. His assailant was pre
vented from firing a eecood shot by
Albert H. Martin, one of Col. Roose
velt's two secretaries.
Col. Roosevelt had just stepped in
to an automobile when the would-ho
assassin pushed his way through tin-
crowd In the Street and tired Mar
tin, who was standing In the ear
with the Colonel, leaped onto the
man's shoulders and bore him to the
ground, ('apt. A. <) Girard, of Mil
waukee, who was on the front seat,
jumped almost at the same time, and
In an instant the man was overpower
ed and disaimed.
A wild cry of "lynch him" went
Up. Col. Roosevelt spoke to ttie peo
ple and told them to spare trie man,
who then was taken into tin- hotel
and held there until he was removed
to the police station. In spite of the
entreaties of phvsieians. Col Koo-t
velt insisted upon delivering his a!
dress. " 1 will make tlu-t spee< h or

Roosevelt bad assured himself the
aaaaMln was safe in ths hands of the
police he gave orders to drive on to
the auditorium.
They had driven hardly one of the
four blocks from the hotel to the ku-
dltorlum when John McGarth. anoth
er of Col. Roosevelt's secretaries, ut
tered a sharp exclamation and point
ed to the Colonel's hrest.
"lx)ok, Colonel,” ho said, "there Is
a hoie In your overcoat.”
Col. Roosevelt looked lown, saw
the hole, then unbuttoned the big,
blown army coat, which he was wear
ing, and thrust his hand beneath it.
\Vhen he withdrew it his fingers were
stained with blood.
Col. Roosevelt was not dismayed
b> his discovery.
"It looks ns though I have been
hit," he said, “but 1 don't think It is
anything serious.”
Dr. Si urrey Terrell of Dallas, Tex.,
Col. Roosevelt's physician, who had
entered the automobile Just before
it started off, insisted tlull the (Joi
nt el return to the .jiotel. He ’paid
ne attention to the- suggestion, as
soon as tln-y reached the building
Col. Roosevelt Wiis taken Into a
dressing room.
Dr. Terrell with the help of two
other doctors who were in the audi
torium came to the dressing room on
a call from th<- platform and made a
superficial examination. They agreed
it wu^h impossible to hazard a guess
as NT the extent of the Colonel's In-
jn/ies and that he should by all
means go at once to a hospital.
"I will deliver this speech or die,
one or the oluer,'’ was Col. Roose-
v< It's reply.
A large crowd packed Into the big
building and rhrrrcrt inndty as fie en
tered and without a word to Indicate
what had happened went to his seat
I'or several minutes the crowd, no
luitli of whom suspected that the Col-
ot -1 bore a bullet m his body, kept
up its elie- ring
Then. Mr t'oi-li-'U s stepped to the
flout of the platform and hold up his

The Gazette, published at Gas

Hugh C. 1-ong, an account of whose
experiences at Wagener, S. C., has
already appeared in this paper. In
publishing the letter the Gazette says
It believes that It will prove of great
interest to Long's friends in Gaston
County, N. C. Here is Long's letter
to the Gazette:
Columbia, S. C.
The Gazette, Gastonia, N. C.
My Dear Sirs: Please excuse me
for not answering your telegram to
me at Aiken. I have had an experi
ence that surpasses many of the sto
ries, hut it is too long to tell unless
1 had the time and a good typewrit
er, and my typewriter was torn up
by the druken mob. 1 do not care to
make a statement for publication
other than to say that I have done
only that which saved my own life.
H is much better for my defense than
the public yet knows. I will give
bond in a few days and take a trip to
North Carolina. I was so worried by
all kinds of callers in Aiken who
wanted to see me from curiosity,
wanted to give me money, cigars, etc ,
That I decided to come to the peni
tentiary night before last.
I have the friendship and sympa
thy of probably 77) to bu per cent, of
the best people of Aiken county, and
the mob was a drunken crowd incited
by eight or ten men who led them.
I don't care for any newspaper article
<>n the subject, only you may assure
my friends in Gaston County that 1
am all right now and will not be sub
jected to any punishment for the kill
ing and that I will be a member of
the next South Carolina legislature
I appreciate the Interest of mv
friends I w ill later Jell the whole
story and it would make a thrilling
novel hut just now- I am still suffer
ing somff from the secret assault and
for other reasons prefer to he (tub-t.
With many thinks.
