A. Yes, sir.
Q. What you read about it then, did that rouse you up to anger at all?
A. Well, not exactly anger but I was getting more and more convinced that this man's ambitions is nothing else but a blow to McKinley's death and he wants to get a third term and he shouldn't have it, and that is all.
Q. When did you make up your mind to that—in August?
A. I made up my mind pretty much in August and then I was corroborated during the vision I had on the 14th day of September.
Q. When you say you made your mind up pretty much in August after the meeting of the party, what do you mean by that, that you thought of killing him then?

Q. In August. Had you made any plans then to kill him?
A. No, I had made none until the 14th.
Q. And you thought then of doing this same thing?
