Arriving at the Milburn resi- dence all persons save the medi- cal attendants, nurses and the of- ficials immediately concerned were excluded and the task of probing for the bullet which had lodged in the abdomen was be- gun by Dr. Roswell Parke. When the news of the crime was telephoned to the home of Presi- dent Milburn, where Mrs. Mec- Kinley was resting, immediate steps were taken to spare her the shock of a premature statement of the occurrence until the true condition of the President could be ascertained. Guards were stationed and none was per- mitted to approach the house.

She bore the shock remarkably well and " displayed the utmost fortitude. At 8:30 the reporter of the As- sociated Press was admitted to the Milburn mansion, where Sec- retary Cortelyou gave him the official bulletin prepared by the physicians. Secretary Cortelyou said that a telegraph office would be estab- lished at once in the Milburn residence, and bulletins giving the public the fullest information possible would be issued at short intervals. At the Milburn house were Secretary of Agriculture Wilson, President Milburn, Director General Buchanan of the Pan- American Exposition, Dr. Rixey and Secretary Cortelyou. Tele- grams poured in by hundreds and Secretary Cortelyou was kept busy replying to them. Two stenographers with their type- | writers were placed in the parlor, which was quickly transformed into a bustling room. While the wounded President was being borne from the Expo- sition Hospital to the Milburn residence between rows of on-< lookers with bared heads, a far different spectacle was being wit- nessed along the route of his as- sailant’s journey from the scene of his crime to police headquar- ters. The trip was made so quick- ly* that the prisoner was safely landed within the wide portals of the police station and the doors closed before any one was aware of his presence. POLICE PROTECT THE ASSASSIN AFTER HIS ARREST The news of the attempted as- sassination had in the mean- while been spread broadcast by the newspapers; like wildfire it spread from mouth to mouth. { Then bulletins began to appear on the boards along Newspaper Row, and when the announce- ment was made that the prisoner had been taken to police head- quarters, only two blocks distant Continued on Page Four,
