Quarreled with Czolgosz
Cleveland Man Tells of Assassin’s Abusing President in Restaurant.
Cleveland, Sept. 11.—If he had pursued his quarrel
a little further John Andrews, one of the judges of election, thinks he might
have prevent the attempt to kill the president. He said, at the office of the
board of elections Saturda [sic], he was in a restaurant on the Pan-American
exposition grounds, when a man whom he recognizes in Czolgosz began abusing
President McKinley.
At the height of the argument, in which a number
of those in the restaurant joinned [sic], the stranger said: “The president
ought to be shot!” Someone told the stranger to “Shut up that talk,” and there
was an incipient fight in a moment but no one was hurt and the quarrel did not
become very violent. Mr. Andrews is sure that the man with whom he quarreled
in the restaurant is the man who shot the president.
