Q. Where did you buy the revolver?

A. In New York.

Q. When?

A. On Saturday the twenty-first.

Q. And you bought it with the object in view of shooting Mr. Roosevelt?

A. Yes, sir; exactly.

Q. Where did you buy it?

A. I could not really tell you where I bought it, in Broadway, I know
it's below Canal street, but I could not tell you the name.

Q. What's the make?

A. Colt; thirty-eight caliber; it's where you turn the barrel to the
side way, it's none of those you open this way.

Q. What kind of place, a hardware store or gun shop?

A. No, sir; nothing but guns; I paid fourteen dollars for it.

Q. Did you ever discuss this matter with any other person of what you
intended to do?

A. No, sir; no, sir.

A. No, sir.

Q. Did you ever hear him talk?

A. No, sir.

A. No, sir; I am not an anarchist or socialist or democrat or
republican; I just took up the thing the way I thought it was best to
do.

Q. You are not a member of any party?

A. No, sir; I thought there should be an example of the third term if
it should exist any longer; Mr. Grant was refused and he was satisfied;
this man was refused and he is not satisfied; it's gone beyond limits;
if he keeps on doing this after election, he can't possibly carry a
solid western state; the next thing we will have is a Civil War,
because he will say the scoundrels and thieves and crooks stole my
nomination and now they will steal my election, and they will take up
arms in all the western states; we are facing a civil war just to keep
him in a third term, in an illegitimate place.

Q. Where did you get all this idea from?

A. I have been reading history all the time.
