Haydon Jones, Newspaper Artist [excerpt]

     It occasionally happens in newspaper work that the living models are pretty hard to get! The artist, like the reporter, must exercise ingenuity. And he must be able to catch a likeness, a character, in a lightning flash. And he must be always ready for rush work. At the time of the tragedy at Buffalo many a feat remarkable in the line of artists’ and reporters’ work was done and passed unchronicled. Mr. Jones, whose picture of Czolgosz was at the time a notable [146][147] thing, remarked concerning his experience:
     “Just as soon as we got word that McKinley was shot, off I was sent to Buffalo—to get Czolgosz, among a few other things, and Czolgosz couldn’t be gotten. No artist or photographer, it seemed, could get into that jail for love or money—at first. Well, I hung on around there and at last I set up the fellows and persuaded them to handcuff me and take me in the jail as a prisoner and march me past Czolgosz so I could get a good look at him. And the good look had to serve in that instance for a rush picture.”
