Remey, Oliver E.
Roosevelt, Theodore, 1858-1919
Q. Where did you stop?
A. I stopped at Jackson, Hotel Jackson.
Q. Where is he going to after he leaves here?
A. The way I read in the paper this morning he is going back to Chicago
and from there to Indianapolis and from there to Louisville.
Q. What name did you register under at Augusta?
A. Walter Ross.
Q. What name at Atlanta?
A. All the way except Charleston I give my real name; the only time I
give the right name is in Charleston where I left my grip; I saw it was
a respectable house and I didn't have to stay away more than a week and
now I have been away more than three weeks.
Q. Have you a check for it?
A. No, sir; I have no check; it is not a hotel, it is a boarding-house.
Q. What street is it on?
A. It is I believe on Meading street near Main.
Q. What place did you stop at since you have been in this city?
A. In this city I stopped here, let me see, what do they call that
hotel again, right here on Wabash, small hotel.
Q. Blatz?
A. No, sir.
Q. St. Charles?
A. No, sir; small place, Argyle, that's on Third street.
Q. Did you have any baggage when you came here?
A. No, sir; I left all the baggage at Charleston.
Q. When you registered did they ask you whether you had any baggage?
A. No, sir; nobody asked me.
Q. Did you pay in advance?
A. I generally never stayed any longer than one or two nights and for
every night I pay a dollar for my room; nobody asked me about baggage.
Q. You paid that after you registered at the Argyle?
A. Yes, sir.
Q. What room did you occupy?
A. In the Argyle I guess it was number one, right toward the Wabash
River.
Q. Why do you call it the Wabash River?
A. Because the man told me it was; he said, "the only room I have left
is the one facing the Wabash River."
Q. What is the name of this city?
A. This city, it's supposed to be Milwaukee; I feel very sorry that the
trouble has happened in this city; I suppose I have made considerable
trouble for you people and for the citizens of the town.
Q. Have you any relatives living in this country?
A. No, sir.
Q. Any in Germany?
A. Yes, sir; I think I have, I haven't been in correspondence for quite
a while, I don't know if they are well.
Q. What relatives have you?
A. I have a mother living there.
Q. Mother?
A. Yes, brother and sister.
Q. At Erding?
A. No, they are at Tyrol.
Q. Switzerland?
A. Tyrol that is not Switzerland, that is Bavarian Tyrol.
Q. Have you ever been in trouble before?
A. No, sir; not that I remember.
Q. Ever been arrested for anything?
A. Not in my life.
Q. Have you ever been committed to an institution of any kind?
A. No, sir; never, I have always stayed out of trouble, I have never
been in any trouble whatever, and this trouble I committed myself, now
I am contented I did.
Q. You are not a bit sorry?
A. No, sir. You may look up the records of all New York police
headquarters, because I have never been there, I have never been
arrested there.
Q. What did you say your name was?
A. John Schrank.
