A. I left New York on the twenty-first of September and I left for Charleston and I left my grip there in the Hotel Mosely; from Charleston to Augusta and from there to Atlanta and from Atlanta I think to Birmingham and over to Chattanooga, and from Chattanooga I went to Nashville and then to Evansville, and then to Louisville, and then to Chicago, and from Chicago here, and I arrived here Sunday at one o'clock. Q. Why did you go to all those places? A. Because I wanted to meet that man. Q. What man? A. Theodore Roosevelt. Q. How long have you lived in New York? A. About twenty-five years. Q. What is your business? A. Well, I am not doing anything now, I have been in the liquor business. Q. Where? A. In New York. Q. What place? A. Tenth street. Q. Give us the number please? A. Three hundred seventy, East Tenth street, between avenues B and C; I have been with my uncle; my uncle's name is Flammang. Q. Are you a married man? A. No, sir. Q. How long have you been in the liquor business? A. Well, ever since I was a boy. My folks were in business the time I come over here and I was twelve years old then. Q. How old are you now? A. Thirty-six. Q. Well, what object did you have in following around and trying to meet Theodore Roosevelt? A. Well, because I have been reading history and following up history and I have seen that this man Roosevelt is trying to break one of the old established traditions of the country, calling it a third termer, which he has no right to; he can create a third party and create all the offices, but to nominate himself it was absolutely out of the way and I think today that it is absolutely unnecessary to establish now and have the third tradition to exist and not to be violated by anybody. Q. Well, what did you have in mind to do when you went around in these different places? A. I had in mind to meet him and he escaped me every time; he escaped me in Atlanta and Chattanooga. Q. He escaped what? A. He has not come the way I expected, he did not come out the way I expected; if he goes in a hall today and speaks in a hall and he come in this way or that way he goes out a different way and the man got away. Q. What did he escape from? A. From the places I wanted to meet him? Q. Why did you want to meet him? A. Because I wanted to put him out of the way. A man that wants a third term has no right to live. Q. That is, you wanted to kill him? A. I did. Q. Have you any other reason in wanting to kill him? A. I have. Q. What is that?
