Bookef tVnnhlnK«on Interviewed by IS SOUTH MAI* STREET. NEXT TO DRURT'S. Can'* 1*41%4 Any Explanation of the As'saulf at McKinley's Tomb. Washington, Sept. 30.—Booker T. Washington, principal of the Tuskegcc Normal and Industrial Institute of Alabama, called at the White House last evening 011 President Roosevelt's invitation. The president for years has takeii great interest in the work of this distinguished colbred man for his race. And recently he had promised to visit Professor Washington's school for the encouragement of the industrial education of the negro. That engagement, however, cannot be kept, owing to the Changed conditions as the result of President McKinley's death. But the president is so much in earnest in . his desire to acquaint himself with the progress of southern affairs that he brought Professor Washington to the capital for consultation. Private Deprend was on guard duty on top of the vault at a point commanding the entrance lielow and the approach from the rear. Shortly before 7:30 o'clock he saw what he took to be the face of a man peering from behind a tree about forty feet from his post. He watched It for twenty minutes, he says, and at 7:45 o'clock saw the man hurry to a tree ten feet nearer. He challenged the man lo halt, bnt this was not heeded, and the fellow approached nearer. Deprend leveled his gun and alined to shoot for effect, but at tiiat instant another man, who came toward hftn from the opposite side, caught the gun, threw It up and the bullet was spent in the air. Canton, O., Sept. 30.—The city Is astir today over the assault on Guard Deprend, at the Westlawn vault, where the body of President McKinley  last night. All attempt* to solve the motive for the assault deepen the mystery, and thus conclusion unanimously drawn by those who have investigated Is that the story as told is true iu dotal!, and that probably it was an attempt to blow the vault to pieces. A possible solution of the mystery suggested is this: Eight men escaped from the county jail Sunday evening. Some of those may have gone in hiding In the cemetery. Seeing a sentry fet & lone position, they took desperate chances of trying to get his gun from him in order to defend themselves from probable pursuers who were scouring the country for the prisoners. This story is scouted as not probable by those who looked into the matter. Captain Biddle stationed extra guards throughout the cemetery Immediately after the assault on Deprend.
