Auburn, N Y, Oct 2s-Leon F. Czolgosz was electrocuted at T:12:3O this morning at Auburn prison. Sew enteen hundred volts of electricity were sent through his body for a period of two and a half minutes. After an ex- animation by Dr. Mcdonald, who de- clared that there was no signs of pulse. current was again sent through the body for few seconds at 7:17 o'clock, when Warden Meade officially declared the assassin dead.
 Czolgosz paid the extreme penalty for his dastardly crime, the murdo- of President William Mckinley, without show of emotion. He went to the fatal chair with d declaration that he killed the president for the good of the people-working people. He retained to the last those perverted ideas that lead tn the crime of assassination.
 White the straps were being fastened across his head and forehead the pris- oner remarked that he was sorry he did not see his father. No time was wasted in carrying out the execution. From the time Czolgosz left the cell until the penalty was paid for the crime. hardly four minutes had elapsed. Not a hitch occurred, not d moments hesitation marked the carry ing out of the laws decree. Every precaution had been taken to prevent an accident and to strip the case of all sensationalism.
 The prompt manner in which the ex- ecution was handled proved that the arrangements were perfect, and the shocking of the assassin the most sue cessful ever brought off in the state prison.
