A. I had a dream several years ago that Mr. McKinley appeared to me and he told me that Mr. Roosevelt is practically his real murderer and not this here Czolgosz, or whatever his name was, Mr. Roosevelt is practically the man that has been the real murderer of President McKinley in order to get the presidency of the United States, because the way things were that time he was not supposed to be a president; all the leaders did not want him, that's the reason they give him the vice-presidency, which is political suicide; and that's what I am sore about, to think Mr. McKinley appeared to me in a dream and said, "this is my murderer and nobody else." Q. Did you speak with anybody in New York about this before you left? A. No, sir. Q. You made your mind up to this all yourself? A. Yes, because I am alone, although I own property in New York. Q. What property? A. I own property in four hundred thirty-three East Eighty-first street. Q. What does it consist of? A. It consists of an apartment house with ten tenants; it's estimated at twenty-five thousand dollars. Q. Did you attend any political meetings in New York before you left? A. I attended several, yes, sir; ever since I was coming across the country; I had political meetings in Evansville, Indiana, of the three political parties. Q. Who furnished you with the funds that you needed to travel around the country? A. I beg your pardon, I was just telling you I have property there and had the money. [Illustration: Winifred C.

I just took this three hundred dollars to go around and all I saved up is one hundred forty dollars. Q. Where did you leave that? A. I left that here. Q.
