For Want Of A Hat
The day was hot thought Lillian Cross, as she watched the speech, maybe she would take off her hat, for her head was itchy, as she was thinking she barely noticed a short Italian man standing up behind her. Finally she decided to take off her hat [1] and when she was about to scratch her head, she heard five loud gunshots from behind her. She saw it was the Italian man and attacked him with her handbag as men around her tackled him to the ground. It was not enough though as she peered over her shoulder as in horror she saw the corpse of the man giving the speech. The speaker, President Elect Franklin Delano Roosevelt was dead.
