CHAPTER XIII.
WITNESSES OF THE SHOOTING.
The following statements of Wheeler P. Bloodgood, representing the Progressive National committee; F. E. Davidson, Milwaukee county chairman of the Progressive party, Capt. A. O. Girard and others set forth arrangements for Col. Roosevelt's speech in the Auditorium on the night of October 14, 1912, and present many facts concerning the shooting of Col. Roosevelt not before made public.
These statements were made to District Attorney W. C. Zabel during the examination of Schrank conducted by him on Oct. 16.
The purpose of this hearing was to ascertain if possible whether others were with Schrank in the plot to kill the ex-president.
While the examination developed a second man who was very anxious to get close to Col. Roosevelt during his stay in the Gilpatrick, no other evidence concerning this second man's connection with the shooting was developed.
