EXPERTS TO TEST SCHRANK'S SANITY

Mian Who Tried to Kill Roosevelt Given Hearing at Milwaukee Tnesdny and Pleaded Guilty.

John Schrank, wIuT attempted to murder Theodore Roosevelt at Milwaukee pleaded guilty in court Tuesday, but his case was not disposed of at once. Judge Backus appointed five Milwaukee doctors as a) commission of alienists to Inquire into Schrank’s mental condition. Schrank made a statement to the effect that it was Roosevelt as a third term candidate and not as a citizen he desired to murder. His statement was disjointed and indicates insanity. It is not probable that Colonel Roosevelt Will be called to Milwaukee at the prosecution, as he could throw little if an> light on the case. *
