The Man Who Tried to Save M’Kinley Now a Maniac

     Atlantic City, N. J., March 26.—The only man who made a direct effort to save the life of President McKinley on that September day at Buffalo, is in jail here, a maniac.
     His name, it will be remembered, is James Parker.
     Parker was standing near the president when Czolgosz passed in line, ostensibly to shake the hand of the chief executive. Others were even nearer, but into Parker’s mind there first flashed the suspicion of imminent danger. As the assassin whipped his right hand from beneath his coat, holding the pistol shrouded in a white handkerchief, Parker leaped forward, and with a quick blow struck the arm of Czolgosz, but vainly.
     A few days ago Parker was seized with violent mania. Pending the customary inquiry into his sanity, he has been remanded to the custody of the police and may later be committed to an asylum for the insane.
