DETERMINED TO SEE
THE PRESIDENT
,
Hand to Hand Encounter
i With Dasperate M&a.
GAVE NAME AS PETER ELLIOTT.
I
Officers cn Duty at White rteuse Have
Desperate Encounter with Alic£ed In
cane Man, Who Was Suppcccd to
Have Designs Upon President.
Washington, Oct. 5. —*A de&yerete
hand-to-hand encounter with an armed
insane man who was determined to
■ see 'President Roosevelt, occurred in
the vestibule of the White House short
ly before nocn today.
The man, who gave hjs <«aone at
Peter Elliott, and his home as Minne
apolis, was overpowered by the officers
on duty at the 'White House and car
ried to a police van, which had been
summoned. He was placed in the van
in the custody of two officers. Seeming
to realize then for the first time that
he was under arrest, Elliott began a
furious struggle with his captors for
liberty. He drew a (revolver irom
the right side pccket of %is trousers
and attempted to shoot Officer Emsel.
The officer grabbed his hand anil
wrenched the weapon from jhis grasp
Elliott’s struggles ’ were so fierce,
however, that the two officers in the
cramped quarters of the van were un
able to overcome him. Officer Oris
sei then drew his revolver and fired
two shots to attract attention.
Chief Usher Thomas Stone and Of
ficer Parker, of the White House force,
who had assisted in carrying Elliott
to the van, rushed back to the vehicle
and assisted in overpowering him.
van Elliott had broken a glass panel
head and face.
Officer Crissell sustained a serious
cut on his right arm, two inches o!
flesh being cut off the fleshy part oi
the arm. He suffered considerably
from less of blood, but his injury is
not serious.
The van was hurried to the Emer
gency hospital, where ffie injuries of
both Crissell and Elliott were dress
ed.
Elliott is undoubtedly violently in
sane. Several days ago Secretary
Loeb received a leetor, postmarked
Washington, and written on letter pa
per of the St. James hotel, this city,
The letter enclosed a photograph oi
Elliott and an incoherent request foi
an interview with President Roosevelt
The letter was signed “Peter Ell,” the
statement made immediately after 4,he
signature was that the writer was reg
iatocad ax tbe Wto*
It w«« orlAwA to Rwntoiww XMKff MM
kis eorreapendent w*s tosft frs
issued orders at ou.ee that the offtaer#
on duty both at the White tfou*c Md
at the executive offices should be eo
their guard against him. The photo
graph was turned ever to the eeccn
service officers.
"Nothing -was seen of *. until
yesterday, when the president attend
ed morning services at Grace Jteform
ed church. Elliott appeared near the
entrance to the church and made an
effort to speak to the president, bet
he was foiled in hia endeavor by thu
secret service officre. At that tiw
the man manifested no aymptocne oi
insanity and quietly left the vicinity
of the church when ordered to *6® oa
by the officers. About 10 o’clock this
morning Elliott appeared at the <b®&
utive offices. Entering the resWtaite
he inquired for President Roeseveit
One of the doorkeepers asked -him wii,
he wanted to see the pre«ident.
“Oh, just for fun,” He
“The president sent for me and 1
just want to see him.”
Elliott told to return serJ
month. Hefriiled cad wallaed •w*y,
not offering he slightest o-tejeetto* t«
the rebuff whrch he had received. BW
appearance attracted very k l Wte atoMt
tion, and he gave no indication at thal
time of insanity.
