Was in Canton
Motorman Domer Sure He Saw Czolgosz.
GOT ON STREET CAR
Conversed with the Motorman—Sure the Man Was the One Who Shot the
President.
James Domer, the motorman on car
28, of the Mahoning line, is certain that Czolgosz, the assassin
of the president, rode with him about three weeks ago. There was
a man got on his car at Belden avenue and rode to the square with
him who corresponds to exactly to Czolgosz. He is certain that he
is not mistaken. When the man got on the car he came up to him and
said: “I was just having some fun with that man on the corner. He
has a scheme to flim the president out of some money, by means of
a union seal which he has. He was going to forge an order for some
money from the president. I pulled this from my pocket, showing
a detective’s badge, and told him the best thing he could do was
to get out of town, that I belonged to the secret service.”
When they got to the square Domer
said he asked him where the lake was and if there was a base ball
game in town that day. Domer has not seen the fellow since, but
as soon as he saw his picture he remembered him as the same man.
“There was something about him and
his actions,” said Domer, “that impressed me so that I would know
him again among a hundred men. He finally took a lake car and that
is the last I saw of him.”
