Zangara Gets 80 Years
While Victims Improve
MIAMI, Fla., Feb 21—(AP)—As
scornful of the law as when he tried
with fanatical zeal to assassinate Pres
ident-elect Franklin D. Roosevelt last
Wednesday night, Guiseppe Zangara
today pleaded guilty to four counts of
attempt to murder and was sentenced
to 80 years in prison.
Zangara is 33. His sentences of 20
years in each case, running consecu
tively, constitute life imprisonment at
Raiford state prison or hard labor In
the Florida road camps.
However, should Mayor Anton Cer
mak, of Chicago, or Mrs. Joe H. Gill,
prominent Miami society woman, die
of the wounds they received when
spectators deflected Zanzara’s aim at
Mr. Roosevelt, the state will seek a
first degree murder indictment and
the death penalty.
CUMMING, GA., Feb. 23, 1933
Mayor Of Chicago
Shot While Talking
With Roosevelt
BULLETS INTENDED FOR
THE PRESIDENT ELECT,
HIT FIVE PEOPLE
After President-elect Roosevelt had
finished delivering an address in Bis
cayne Bay Park, Miami, Fla., Wednes
day night, a man who later gave his
name as Joe Zingara, of New York,
shot at Mr. Roosevelt five times, mis
sing him each time, but the five wild
shots hit Chicago’s Mayor, J. Anton
Cermak, Mrs. Joe Gill, of Miami; Wil
liam Sinnott, Russell Caldwell, a boy,
and Miss Margaret Krews, of Newark,
New Jersey.
Mayor Cermak was hit in the chest
the bullett pierced the boy and came
out his back. Little hope for his life
is held.
Startled and momentarily stunned
by the firing close to his car, Roose
velt waved to the crowd and shouted
“I am all right,” as he was hurriedly
driven away through the confusion.
The shooting and screams of the vic
tims created momentary pandemon
ium. Quiet was quickly restored,
however, and Miami was orderly and
sad.
A woman, Mrs. W. P . Cross, of Mi
ami, struck the shooter's arm as he
let go with the fifth shot and shoved
his elbow into the air. James W.
Galloway, of this city and a police
man overpowered the man and shack
led him to a car.
The shooting occurred in beautiful j
Bay Front park on Biscayne bay,
where a reception was in progress
for Mr. Roosevelt, who had just re
turned from a vacation cruise.
As the shots ended, the president
elect waved his hand to the massed
thousands to show that he was unhurt
Mayor Cermak was placed in the
automobile beside President-elect held
the head of Mayor Cermak in the
cradle of his arm.
There was some doubt as to wheth
er Mayor Cermak or the president
elect was the original target of the
assailant. However, Broadnax, who
also was shot, was standing closer
to the president-elect than Mayor
Cermak.
The Chicago mayor, who is 59 years
old. was hurried to a hospital.
David Whichard, a Western Union
boy, gave the following account of
the shooting:
"I was right next to Mr. Roose
velt’s car. This man was in the mid
dle of the crowd over to the right of
the president-elect’s car. After Mr.
Roosevelt got through speaking he
sat down in his car. This man start
ed shooting just then. This fellow
that was doing the shooting seemed
to wait until Roosevelt finished. Mr.
Broadnax was hit in the head and fell
to his knees. He was standing right
beside President-elect Roosevelt’s car
Mr. Gill was shot in the stomach. He
was standing next to the park benches
about 50 feet away from the fellow
who was doing the shooting.”
The messenger boy said he heard
Mr. Roosevelt say: I
“I am all right.”

By Francis 1/1. Stephenson.

Ride Train to Washing
ton. Leave Auto at
Heme Advice of
Veteran Scribe
Southern democrats who are going j
to Washington for the inauguration |
of Franklin D. Roosevelt will do well
to make the trip by rail, leaving their
automobiles at home, says Ralph
Smith, columnist of the Atlanta Journ
al and veteran Washington corres
pondent, who knows all about inaugu
ration crowds and conditions in Wash
ington during inaugurals.
“Frankly, I believe the best way to
go to Washington for the inaugurat
ion is by railroad,” says Mr. Smith.
“Washington is already crowded with
automobiles and I doubt whether in
auguration visitors would be able to
find parking space in the National
Capitol. Indeed, they might get no
nearer than Alexandria, Va.
“The ideal thing, it seems to me,
is to arrange for enough special trains
to accommodate all visitors to the in
i auguratlon and to make arrangements
| with the Pullman Company for the
! US e of their oars for lodging, while in
Washington.”
Attractive reduced round trip rates
• to Washington have been announced
j ), y the Southern Railway System for
i the inauguration and arrangements
have been made for the operation of
Ia number of special trains for the ac
; commodation of visitors and for chart
, ering Pullman cars for use in Wash-:
ington where this service is desired. I
it is believed that a record number
of visitors from the South will go t°
| Washington for the inauguration this
year.
