Saw the Assassin Shoot
Special to the Times-Republican.
Cedar Falls, Sept. 14.—Miss Emma Severin, of this
city, who is attending the Buffalo exposition, was near the temple of music
when President McKinley was shot. She was near the door when he was carried
to the ambulance. She has written to friends here describing the scenes. She
says had it not been for the mounted guards and the soldiers the assassin would
have been lynched, as there were many cries for vengeance by both men and women.
Efforts were made to stop the carriage in which the prisoner was carried to
the police headquarters.
