SUSPECTED ASSASSIN TRIES
TO REACH PRESIDENT
PITTSBURG, Oct. 20.—Secret ser
vice operatives engaged in looking
after the safety of President Wilson
Wilson during his campaign trip ar
rested Richard Cullen, a twenty two
year old machinist, today after he had
made several attempts to hoard the
president’s special, shortly after the
executive arrived here from Chicago
this morning.
Cullen made three attempts to make
his way aboard the president’s car
but each time was seen by the secret
service men before he had an oppor
tunity to make his way into the in
terior.
The president was not on the train
at the time, having left the special im
mediately on arrival for an auto trip
through the city with friends. After
being thrice forestalled in his efforts to
board the presidential train, Cullen
was placed under arrest by the detec
tives.
Examination revealed that he was
armed with a long knife and also car
ried a small bottle of nitroglycerine
concealed in his clothing.
On being taken into custody, ho at
first, refused to say anything as to
hU reasons for attempting to board
the train but on being questioned
closely replied vaguely that he was
displeased with the Wilson policy in
connection with tho war. The pos
session of the nitro glycerine and also
the formidable looking knife, has con
vinced the officers that Cullen intended
an attempt on the president’s life. The
man appears to be normal in every
way and betrayed no hint of ulteri' r
intention during his examination be
yond the slight reference to his dis
agreement with the president's foreign
policy. He lias been placed in deten
tion pending further examination.
When informed of the Incident Presi
dent Wilson betrayed a lively interest
but offered no comment.
William Jennings Bryan was among
the large number of personal friends
who greeted the president on his ar
rival here. IJryan held a short and
animated conversation with tho presi
dent until the latter was carried away
by others. A multitude of people
gathered at the depot to witness tin
arrival of the special and the executive
was given a tremendous ovation.
