last night, escaped unharmed from an attempted assassination but saw five persons, one a friend, shot
down by a man who said he hated all the rich and
powerful.
Mayor Anton Cermak, of Chicago, one of thi
wounded, was given only an even chance to live today. One other victim, Mrs. Joseph Gill, wife of a
Florida utility magnate, was in a critical condition.'
The President-elect escaped injury by the nar*
rowest of margins. The assailant was a "crazed Italian
bricklayer from Hackensack, N. J. He rose in a crowd
of thousands which had turned out to welcome the
President-elect, and spattered bullets around the
Roosevelt automobile.
"
The assailant, Guiseppi Zangara, 33, and Ms
roommate, Andra Valenti. were held safely by police after aroused Floridians had threatened violence. Mr. Roosevelt delayed his scheduled journey to New York so he could visit his friend, Mayor Cermak,
and the other injured in Jackson Memorial Hospital
this morning.
