William Craig (Secret Service)

[6][7][8][9] Following his honorable discharge from the army, at age 38 he migrated to Chicago's South Side where he taught fencing and boxing.

[7] He was proficient with the broadsword, and gave exhibitions, including with the wrestler Duncan C. Ross, performing feats never attempted by anyone else in the country.

[8] Craig was killed on September 3, 1902, when a speeding trolley car rammed into the open horse-drawn carriage carrying President Roosevelt in Pittsfield, Massachusetts.

Craig, who was sitting at the front of the carriage next to the driver, reportedly turned back to see the oncoming trolley car, and maybe had time to shout or try to shield Roosevelt.

The crash occurred because Madden and his passengers had departed late, and were speeding to catch up with the President whom they wanted to meet or hear.
