We fought our way through the dining room into the kitchen with two or three hundred fellows. Murray left the man in my care until he called the patrol wagon. Then I started for the Auditorium. After we went to the kitchen I searched the man again for possible other weapons. I did not find anything. He said: "My gun is gone; your people took it away from me." I forced him down into a chair and held him down until the police got back. (Mr. Zabel)--You accompanied the Colonel from the train to the hotel? (Answer)--Yes. (Mr. Zabel)--Did you notice the police protection? (Answer)--They did not have enough men to keep the crowd away from the side of the Colonel. I think it was one of the ex-President's party who walked along side of the ex-President. When I got to the hotel I was of course pretty busy with the Colonel, and Sergeant Murray was there. Someone asked me to see if he could not get an officer to go with the carriage to the Auditorium and walk on the side the ex-President was. I called the Sergeant and he said he would find a man for me there. As to how many men were there, I do not remember. I know Sergeant Murray was there and I saw one other man. (Mr. Zabel)--Any policeman assisting you and the sergeant in making the arrest of this fellow? (Answer)--There was another officer there when we started to the hotel trying to keep the crowd back. * * * * * Francis E. Davidson, chairman of the Milwaukee County Progressive committee, made the following statements to District Attorney Zabel on Oct. 16: Mr. Bloodgood called me over to his office and said that I was to take charge of the Roosevelt meeting in the Auditorium. Among other duties, I was to inform the police department and ask for protection for Col. Roosevelt while he was in the city. I went to the office of the chief of police with Paul Heyl, sergeant-at-arms, two days before the meeting. The chief of police was not in, but I was sent to the inspector. We told him that we wanted police protection at the depot, on the streets and at the Hotel Gilpatrick for Col. Roosevelt, which was promised. In going away I did not think that he attached enough importance to what I told him, and I went back and asked him on account of conditions in the country I wanted extra police protection for the Colonel, and was informed that he had taken care of Col. Roosevelt before. (Mr. Zabel)--When this car arrived in Milwaukee, what police protection was visible to you? (Answer)--I think there were two or three policemen down at the station in uniform. (Mr. Zabel)--Were there any plain clothes men that you recognized? (Answer)--Not that I recognized. (Mr. Zabel)--Are you familiar with them? (Answer)--No. (Mr. Zabel)--Where were they stationed? (Answer)--One in front of the depot and one at the gate. (Mr. Zabel)--Was the ex-President obliged to pass through the depot on his way out? (Answer)--No, through the small gate.
