Chicago?

A. Well, in fact I cannot remember much. I could not be very much
impressed by the New York Herald because the Herald is a very
conservative paper. The Herald is not what they call the Yellow press
and the only excuse the Herald had is simply to say, Well, the Third
Termer, that is all.

Q. Now what in the New York World impressed you during that time?

A. From that time?

Q. During that time.

A. Well, as I have said before, there was no special impression nohow.
It was only the same as anybody else could read, which was to be found
in the editorials or the man was building up a new party and was
deserting and he cries that he stole the nomination away from him, such
as that; as anybody else would read. That didn't make any serious
impression on me.

Q. Now, when did you write out these statements that was in your
pocket?

A. On the 14th of September.

Q. Wrote it all out on that day?

A. Yes, sir.

Q. Every bit of it?

A. Yes, sir.

Q. From the beginning to the end? Answer my question.

A. Yes, sir.

Q. Yes, or no?

A. Yes, sir.

Q. And the very statements the police found in your pocket was written
by you and all of it on the 14th day of September, 1912?

A. Yes, sir.

Q. Now in your pocket was found a statement in regard to the various
places that Col. Roosevelt was to speak. Where did you get that from?

A. Oh, every day in the papers. Just as I followed the towns. I
generally bought a paper there the same day or the next morning and
that would just about give me the information where I could meet him
next.

Q. That was in your own handwriting, that statement?

[Illustration: Mrs. Theodore Roosevelt.
From "Vanity Fair"]

A. Yes, sir.

Q. The other night when you were examined with reference to that you
said you hadn't written it out?

A. Which. Written out?

Q. That statement they found in your pocket.

A. That I hadn't wrote it out? Well, who should have written it out?

Q. You said you hadn't written it out in your own handwriting or on the
typewriter?

A. On the typewriter.

Q. Is that in your own hand?

A. Well, in the first place I cannot handle a typewriter and in the
second place who else should furnish that or who else should write it?

Q. That was----

A. In fact I suppose if you compare the two of them there must be some
likeness. I don't profess that I write the same all the time or every
time, but I think that was written on one day.
