For the first time in history an

Instantly of wounds, and Oscar Col-
laxso, seriously wounded, both of
New York. The men were members
of the Puerto Rlctn Nationalist
party which started an uprising In
Puerto Rico a few days before the
•ttompted assassination.
Three policemen on duty at Blair
House at the time of the attack
wore wounded. One of the guards,
Pvt Leslie Coffelt. 40. died e short
time later In e Washington hospital.
The other two were reported seri-
ously injured.
According to best reports the two
assassins approached Blair House,

west Collezzo opened Ore first

sins were shot down.
