Was Warned by Griggs

Former Attorney General Says He Begged President to Carry Body Guard.

     Paterson, N. J., Sept. 6.—Former Attorney General Griggs, discussing the shooting of President McKinley, said:
     “I warned him against this very thing time and time again, and asked him for the country’s sake, if not for his own, to have a body guard when he went out. He refused. He laughed at me. He insisted that the American people were too intelligent and too loyal to their country to do any harm to their chief executive. He had supreme confidence in the people.”
