HICKEY LEAVES FOR KETCHIKAN ON we in SEAPLANE MITKOF| raignment of Guiseppi Zangara. He was brought to the court room without shackles and appeared nonchalantly. Three lawyers were appointed to represent him. Zangara was then returned to his jail cell. The courtroom was crowded. The police forcibly ejected an unidenti- fied man who attempted to loiter near the prisoner. The man was not arrested. The attorneys appointed asked for a Medical Association sanity examination. Counsel Not Wanted Arraignment of Zangara in the County Criminal Court was halted yesterday when it was found that the assailant of Roosevelt was not represented by counsel. The court stponed arraignment until today, saying 1t would appoint an at- torney to represent the man. Zangara was indifferent in the matter, “You are the judge, and can do as you please,” he said. “But I don’t want anyone to help me.” The State is determined that Zangara, short, beady-eyed man who “hates” governments, will have every legal opportunity to defend himself against any charges. He still has, he says, “beeg paints in the stomach” and thinks he should kill Presidents and Kings. Zangara again declared today he is not an anarchist and does |not belong to any such society. He is an immigrant Italian by birth and an American by adop- |tion. Rumore circulated last night and early today that an attempt would |be made to take the would-be as- sassin from the officers and lynch him. Extra precautions prevailed around the jail and extra guards accompanied him to the court house this forenoon at 11 o'clock when he was to be arraigned.
