The president was struck by two bullets during a public gathering. One pierced the upper chest near the breastbone and the second entered the abdomen. Surgeons quickly operated at the exposition hospital and then moved the patient to the Milburn residence for further care.
The scene near the station grew agitated as hundreds gathered when a man claimed a confession and described the assassination plan. The alleged assassin Cuolgosz, an anarchist from Cleveland, confessed to the crime against the president and said he attended lectures by Exima Goldman. He has a Cleveland family and says he wears a campaign button and belongs to the Golden Eagles.
Emma Geldman, described as the high priestess of anarchy and linked to Leona Czolgonz, was arrested in Chicago. She denied knowledge of Czolgosh and his crime but claimed to have met him in July and argued that anarchy seeks reform through education rather than violence.
Details emerge from Lochport and Buffalo on a May 1 Paterson conspiracy against President McKinley. Suspects include James Gridman Luis Einstein and Michael Anunzi with Emma Goldman named as a leader. Authorities discuss immigration hurdles and dragnet plans as cases unfold.
Secretary Wilson says the president may sign official papers by Saturday night though not fully recovered. He met the president's doctors at Milburn House and then conferred with Secretary Gage Attorney General Knox and Postmaster General Smith at the Buffalo Club. Doctors foresee a speedy, uncomplicated recovery though the president is not yet out of bed.
A fragmented column voices fears of foreign-born populations and political backlash. It links oppression in Europe to immigrant unrest, urging protection against perceived threats and criticizing propaganda against officials. The text segues into an odd discourse on physiological training and mythic ideals of female beauty, then includes a Grain-O testimonial letter and brief notes on Belgian debates over women smoking and Washington farmers crow hunts.
The notice promotes general excursions from New York City with tickets on sale daily through October 20 promising return routes including via Buffalo. A separate line mentions Texas legislature members may discard coats during a special session.
