PAGE FOUR ATTEMPT TO ASSASSINATE ROOSEVELT (Continued from Page One) have nof been injured. I shall be grateful to you for news of Mayor Cermak’s condition.” The president-elect replied: “I deeply appreciate your message. Mayor Cermak is resting but his con- dition is still serious. I will wire you in the morning after I have been to the hospital.” A gruelling examination of the swarthy complex- ioned, stocky’ built assassin by secret service men and Miami officials brought out a disconnected weird story. ~ “According to their account Zangara purchased his revolver in a pawn shop here three days ago for $8. He told them he intended to kill President Hoover but when he read Mr. Roosevelt was coming here he decided to give attention to him. POLICE ARREST ANOTHER MAN Taking no chances that the gun play was the work of one distorted mind, police early today took into custody under suspicion, Andrea Valenti, who lives at the same address as Zangara. ‘Newspaper clippings found on Zangara reported movements of Mr. Roosevelt and police said one of the clippings told the story of the assassination of President McKinley. ~ Asked if he intended to kill Roosevelt, police said he replied: “Yes, and I am sorry I didn’t.. I would kill all presidents and all officers. I like Roosevelt per- sonally but I don’t like presidents.” Police also said Zangara told them he had wanted to kill the king of Italy but he had never had a chance while in that country. _ He was said to have lost $200 recently. at dog races. A postal savings account ‘book on him indicat- ed he had about $850 in the bank. Intimate friends of Mr. Roosevelt stood about his car for the brief speech he made as he motored from the yacht to the train. Others included Robert Gore, of Chicago; Marvin McIntyre, secretary to Roosevelt; and Representative-elect Wilcox, of this district. _ ‘The next president had just spoken a few words into the microphone from his automobile. Sitting down beside Mayor Gauthier he turned to talk with ~ him when the firing started about 25 feet away. ' WOMAN GRABS AT ASSASSIN It was a woman, Mrs. W. F. Cross, of Miami, who grabbed at the arm of the assassin. James Galloway, of Miami Beach, joined her. George Broadnax, secret sérvice operative, pouncéd on the shooter.: Police joined. With the departure of Roosevelt and hur- ried carrying away of the assassin, order was quick- ly restored. -» » Mayor Cermak sagged to the pavement. Mrs. Gill also fell. Victims appeared stunned. It was by- standers who did the shouting and screaming. News- papermen and photographers were gathered close to the car. It was over the shoulder of Rex Saffer, chief of The Associated Press bureau in Miami, that the shooter fired. Mrs. Cross gave the following ac- count: : “When the president-elect stood up to make his Speech, so many stood up in front of me that I couldn’t see, so I stood up on the benches. This man stood up with me and the bench almost folded up. I looked around, then I saw he had a pistol and he began shoot- ing toward the president-elect. I grabbed his hand which held the pistol and pushed it up in the air and ¢alled for help. Tom Armour also grabbed his hand and we held it up in the air so he couldn’t shoot any more. By that time some men were choking him.” Joe Murphy, assistant chief of the United States Secret Service, was in the city and on the/scene. He took over the investigation that has resulted so far in the detainment of one other man. Professor Raymond Moley, economic adviser to Mr. Roosevelt, and Judge Frederic Kernochan, of New York City, who was on a southern seas cruise with Mr. Roosevelt, also went over to the Dade coun- ty jail and interviewed the prisoner. Zangara was placed in the regular jail quarters, 21 floors above the ground, in the county building towering above the railroad station where Mr. Roose- velt was to have departed. A huge crowd waited at the station for more than an hour to see Mr. Roosevelt but it dispersed quietly when word was received he was not leaving antil temorrow, | Idre v Col iNew Arrival At Home Of | Chi a Colds | Mr, And Mrs. H.
