returned to his home from the presi-
dents bedside, where he spent the
night. at 10 this morning. To reporter
he said 1t would be impossible for him to
discuss the presidents case, as the ply

law and have been forbidden to say
anything about his condition or injury.
All authoritative statements concerning
his condition will be issued officially.
DR.. Park was asked II such injuries sus-

say" he replied. When the operation
sis performed as quickly as that of last
night 1t is favorable to the recovery Of
the patient"
The operation upon the president last
night lasted about an hour. Ether was
administered. A five-inch incision was
made where the ball entered the abdo-
men and its course followed until the
physicians became satisfied the kidney

having left home Saturday morning
looking for employment. The step
mother can not speak English, but gave
out the following interview thru the
medium of an interpreter She said:
Leon left home about sixty days ago
and we heard from him a few weeks
ago. He was then in Indiana and wrote
us that he was going away, stating in
all probability we would not see him
again" The step-mother failed to recol-
lcct the name Of the city from which
the letter was received. but states 1t
was from some place in Indiana. The
family had not heard from him since.
The step-mother denied Leon was a
disciple of Emma Goodman. or in any
way interested in her doctrines. They
had always considered the boy partially
demented. Up to three years ago he
had worked at the Cleveland rolling
mill, but had quit on account Of poor
health. Since that time he had beer
idle. While living on the farm. near
Warrensville. his father had not asked
Leon to work. having always considered
him too weak for manual labor. Re-

Mrs. Czolgosz said: II can't believe
Leon is the one. Why, he's the biggest
coward you ever saw in your life." Mrs
Czolgosz is an intelligent-looking wam-
an, but failed to show any decided emo
ton when confronted with the account
of Leon's horrible crime The home was
neat and CLAIM, but plain. Paul Czol-
gosz, the father, moved into Cleveland
two weeks ago to secure employment.
He has not yet heard of his sons crime.
Two uncles also live in Cleveland.
