General News [excerpt]

     Notwithstanding the fact that the close inquiries into the incidents immediately following the shooting show pretty clearly that it was the artillery man, Frank OB’rien [sic], who sprang upon Czolgosz and pinioned , [sic] his arms to his side, James Parker the colored man, who was close to the mixup, still comes in for much glory.

     A New York Polish paper comes out with a long editorial branding Czolgosz as “an individual who disgraced himself by an attempt to murder” and expressing condemnation of his crime in unmeasured terms and says: “We suffer and feel more keenly the effects of the crime because the monster who perpetrated it belongs to our nationality.”
