Many hundred peoplo had shaken hands with the president, one of tho last being n burly colored man.

There was nothing to mark him from the thousands around him, ex cept that ho carried a handkerchief in hiB hand and even that, perhaps, was scarce worthy of note, for tho build ing was small and crowded, the weath er was sultry and thousands of hand kerchiefs were In constant requisition. .The young man moved rapidly to a position immediately In front of the president, so closo that he could have shaken his hand. As ho had done to ninny hundreds of times In tho pre ceding half hour, Mr. McKlnley bowed, smiled genially and oxtonded his hand. But the young man did not grasp It. So quickly that tho watchful eyes of tho president's bodyguard had no hint of tho menace In his movement, ho raised the hand in which tho handker chief was held and fired two shots at the president. Tho haudkerchlcf had covered a revolver, which Jio had car ried thus openly through tho crowd. Ctolgoiz (Illicitly Kuloil.

Ills head sank forward into his hands n moment and then ho raised It briskly, while the stream of crimson welled from the wound In hl3 breast and spread In an ever-widening circle on his white shirt front. "Hut you are wounded," cxclnlmed Mr. Cortelyou, "let me examine." "No, no," Insisted tho president, "I am not badly injured, I assure you." With n bullet In his breast, and an- 5. other through his stomach, ho did not lose' consciousness. Ho sat almost as stanch and straight In his chair as though his assailant's shot had missed, and ho seemed tho calmest and least perturbed of tho immense gather ing. President Mllburn and Secretary Cortelyou were nlmcst frantic with alarm, but tho wounded man continued to assure them that his Injuries were trifling. This dramatic eccno upon tho little platform was enacted In tho midst of a terrific tumult, which continued un interruptedly for many minutes. Necrot Rorvlce Men Act he. When the secret cervlco men and the colored man first threw themselves upon Czolgosz, the assailant of the president, and pinned him to tho floor lest he should try to use tho revolver again, twenty more men hurled them selves upon tho scrambling quartet and burled Czolgosz from Bight. Every man In that struggling, crazy throng was striving to get hold of Czolgosz to strike him, to rend him, to wreak upon him in any way the mad fury which possessed them Instantly when they realized whnt he had done. The greater part of tho crowd was stunned for an Instant by the enormity of the crime they witnessed, but when tho reaction camo they surged forward like wild beasts, tho strongest tearing the weakest back out of tho way and forcing themselves forward to whero tho prisoner was hold by his captors. All tho time a tumult of sound filled tho place, a hollow roar nt first, punc tuatcd by tho shrieks of women, swell ing into medley of yells and curses. Men said unintelligible things ns they pushed and crowded toward tho center of tho swaying mob. They wanted to lyuch Czolgosz, whoever ho was. They wanted to sco him and thoy shouted vainly at the police officers in front to drag him out. Mini Kffnrt to Kill CzolgoftZ. Tho little force of exposition guards, penned in by tho clamoring mob, fought desperately to hold their pris oner from tho bloodthirsty crowd. They had Czolgosz safe and fast. His revolver had been wrenched from his hand in tho Instant that Detectlvo Ire land fell upon him, and ho was help less, bruised and bleeding. His face was cut when ho waB thrown to tho floor and a dozen eager, vicious hands had struck at him and reached him over the shoulders of tho officers. Slowly, very slowly, tho llttlo forco of police raado way through tha ciowd, dragging tho prisoner between them. They were determined there should be no lynching. Things wore bad enough as it was, and a lynching would have been tho crowning horror of the day. From outside the building, wltiro tho news spread from Up to .l'p, more thousands pushed and Jostled and shouted In their eagerness to cuter tho building.

They hurled themselves upon the swaying mob, they stuck and piudicd and shouted commands, nnd It slowly gavo way Just enough so they could reach the little band struggling to save Czolgosz from n sudden and filghtful death.

Though this takes long In tho tolling, probably It was not moro than live minutes from tho time tho shots were fired until the president was in the hospital, and a hasty examination was begun by tho surgeons. They discov ered that one bullet had entered the breast almost directly In the center or on the median Hue, but whether or not It had passed into the lungs could not be determined cxiept by probing.
