he shot Col. Roosevelt.

This testimony tended to show that Schrank "filled up" on beer just
before he committed the act, although each of the witnesses insisted
that he was not intoxicated at the time he did the shooting. One
policeman said that he was dazed, but was not intoxicated.

The testimony showed that Schrank spent the early part of the evening
he shot Col. Roosevelt in the saloon of Herman Rollfink, 215 Third
street, where he posed as a newspaper man "out on an investigating
trip."

"Schrank came into the saloon at 3 o'clock in the afternoon and drank
five or six beers," testified Paul Thume, a bartender. "He told me he
was a newspaper man, and to prove it, he pointed to the newspapers in
his pockets.

"We got to talking, and I told him I was going out west to earn some
money. He advised me to go south to make money. He wanted a place to
room, but when I recommended a room for $1 a day, he kicked. Said he
was willing to pay 75 cents.

"He came in again at 7 o'clock in the evening and we talked some more.
He then asked the bar musicians to play some song, something with
stripes in it, and then he bought each one a drink."

For the first time during the hearing, Schrank smiled. It started in a
broad smile, and then extended until it covered his entire face. It
developed that he asked the musicians to play the "Star Spangled
Banner," which the bartender described as a song having "stripes" in
it.

Schrank left the saloon only a few minutes before he did the shooting,
after having again treated all to drinks.

The testimony of the barkeeper was substantiated by two musicians,
Frank Galk and James Crawford, who said that Schrank danced around
while they were playing.

Herman Rollfink told how he jumped on Schrank after the shooting and
blocked the door to the kitchen in the hotel after Schrank had been
carried in there.

Capt. Alfred O. Girard said:

"I saw Schrank in the crowd just as I was getting into Col. Roosevelt's
automobile. I saw him as he raised the gun up between two men. I saw
the flash, and almost simultaneously, I sprang upon him. After taking
him into the hotel, we searched him, but found no other weapons."

Three policemen were placed on the stand as witnesses, and each one
insisted that he was not detailed to service there, but had been
attracted to the spot by the crowd.

This tended to show that Col. Roosevelt had no police protection while
he was in Milwaukee.
