A. Unless they stole it. I know I stored it there.

Q. Did you have a receipt for the different articles you stored there?

A. Sure. I can show you that as soon as--but of course the revolver is not marked on that because the revolver is in one of the drawers, I suppose.

Q. You don"t know when you got that revolver?

A. I could not tell you.

Q. Have you ever shot it?

A. I shot it, I believe twice or three times during the 4th of July celebration out in the yard.

Q. Had you ever shot this revolver?

A. No, sir.

Q. You shot it the other night. Where did you buy the bullets that went in that gun?

A. The same place with the gun.

Q. How many cartridges did you have?

A. Did I have? Well, I bought a box of them and paid 55 cents for it.

Q. Where are the rest of the cartridges?

A. They are in the grip.

Q. Oh, they are in your grip in Charleston?

A. As soon as it comes over you can see it all.

Q. You didn"t bring extra cartridges with you?

A. Yes, sir; I had. I took some out. I had five in the gun and I had six with me in my pocket.

Q. Did they find those?

A. They have got it in the police station.

Q. They have got those cartridges in the police station. Now, who hit your arm--did somebody hit your arm?

A. I don"t think so.

Q. When you were coming--who was the first man to get hold of you--that great big man?

A. I could not say who it was. I simply shot and I don"t know whether I hit the man or not or whom I hit, but I know the first thing I went down and a whole lot on top.

Q. When you aimed the revolver at Roosevelt was there anybody standing on each side of you?

A. Yes.

Q. Did you stick the gun between the heads of two people?

A. Yes.

Q. Did you say any word?

A. No, sir.

Q. When you fired?

A. No, sir; I said nothing.

Q. Talk---- Did you try to pull the trigger again?

A. No, sir.

Q. You were knocked down before you could pull it again?

A. Yes, sir; I was.

Q. You would have pulled it again?

A. Perhaps I would. I don"t know.

Q. Well, now in your grip have you any literature--any papers?

A. I have a book in there, yes, a memorandum book.

Q. Did you have any newspapers which you carried about--did you cut out clippings out of the newspapers?

A. Oh no, no. I didn"t do it.

Q. Did you have any record that Col. Roosevelt that you cut out of his acts when he was commissioner of police?

A. Oh no, no. You think I"d carry that here, if I wanted to carry that with me ever since 1893 when he was commissioner--you are crazy or I must have a whole book.

Q. Well, did you keep any?

A. No, sir; nothing at all. I didn"t take that much interest.

Q. How do you mean, you didn"t take that much interest?

A. I didn"t feel that way about him then when he was police commissioner.

Q. When did you first commence to feel that way?
