Then I heard bullets whistling by.” Mr. Ennis didn't stick around long, but ducked for cover until it was over. By the time he came cut from jover, policemen and secret service agents were swarming all over the place. The Dunn man knew something had happened because he had seen the policeman and one of the gun man go down, but he didn’t find out until he read the papers that an attempt had been made on the I life of the President of the United States.
