Suspect Samuel Swenson Detected at Sagamore Hill Visit
Secret service officers detained a man claiming to be Samuel Swenson near Sagamore Hill while attempting to see the president. The 35 year old, described as lightly built with a reddish beard, was unarmed and torn clothing, held briefly, shadowed, searched, and placed on a New York train after confessing he was a gardener. He carried four dollars and a Swedish religious paper and left quietly at officers’ urging.
