helplessness in his eyes. He glanced
about at the people who crowded to-
gether In enorts to get look at him.

The Condemned Assassin Spirited
Away From the Buffalo Jail I'm
known to Anyone but the Guards.
BUFFALO, September 26.-Czolgosz,
the doomed assassin of President Nc
Kinley. was taken from Buffalo to
Auburn State prison tonight to await
death by electrocution during the week
commencing Monday October 2S. Sher-
if Caldwell and sixteen men took the
prisoner in a special car attached TO
the second section OF train IL. which
was due to leave at $3.50 p. m. The
train left the New York Central sta
and the railroad officials said that an
effort would be made to reach Auburn
at PIP O'Clock, which is schedule time.
Czolgosz was "sneaked" out the back
entrance Of the Erie county Jail sur
rounded by the seventeen men and was
hustled into the special car which had
backed down on the terrace tracks a
few rods in the rear OF the Jail min
ute before. The Jail was left at just
$40 o'clock but slow run was made
to the Union station, as the engine and
car we're on the wrong track, which
had been cleared.
Sheriff Caldwell arranged for the de-
parture and his moves were kept SO
secret. and were so cleverly managed
that no one but the guards, the rail-
road officials and the newspaper men
who were on the watch knew that the
assassin was being struggled out OF the
Jail. Sheriff Caldwell had given orders
to his most trustworthy deputies to ap-
pear singly at the Jail at different hours
during the evening and he also made
arrangements with Supt. Bradfeld, of
the New York Central, to have an en-
CINE and special car on the terrace
track at Church street at 9:25 o'clock.
That car was fifteen minutes late but
the moment it left the station, run of
three or four minutes, telephone mes
sage was sent to the Jail and the sher-
iff had the prisoner ready. AS soon as
the car stopped but rev rods from
the rear entrance to the Jail Czolgosz
appeared handcuffed to Jailer George
N. Mitchell and surrounded by the
sheriff and his deputies and Chief Nc
Master, OF the Auburn police depart
ment. The car containing the murder
er was attached to the second section
Of the train.
The news that a car containing the muir
derer was ON the train shed spread quick
Nv and all the railroad men in the station
left their work to Chamber upon the plat
forms and get a look at the assassin.
Finally at 1906 o'clock word was given
and the train pulled out. At Rochester the
car will be coupled to a train running
from there to Auburn, which had orders
to await the arrival of this train. Just
before the train pulled out representa-
tive of the Associated Press saw Cool
