IN FIRST DEGREE
VERDICT OF GUILTY RETURNED
IN THE CASE OF AssAs-
SIN czoLeosz.
NO DEFENSE ATTEMPTED

Attorneys for the Prisoner Offer No
Evidence but Simply Address tho
Jury in His Behalf-Last Days Tes-
timony Mainly That of Eye-Wit-
nesses Of the Assassination in the
Temple Of Music.
Buffalo, Sept. 25.-The jury in the
case of Leon Czolgosz. on trial for the
murder of President Mckinley, has re-
turned a verdict of murder in the first
degree. The defense offered no tes-
timony, but briefly addressed the jury.
The prisoner will be sentenced Thurs
day. ..s@
Justice White arrived exactly at 10
o'clock and the crier Immediately ut
tered the formal notice of the opening
of court. The jurymen were polled
and Samuel J. Fields, chief engineer
of the Pan-American exposition, was
recalled to the witness stand. He was
asked by District Attorney Penney
the meaning of certain figures on the
floor plan of the Temple of Music. He
said it was intended to show the direc-
ton which the file of people took in
entering the building, passing in front
of the president and then out of the
building. s... .rs<
DR.. Matthew D. Mann was then call
ed for cross-examination. -.
WAS the condition which you found
at the autopsy to be expected from
the nature of the wounds which the
president received" asked Mr.. Lewis.
"It was not expected and was very
unusual. I never saw anything just
exactly like it," replied DR.. Mann.
: ITO what, then, do you attribute the
symptoms or indications which you
discovered, the gangrenous condition
of the wound?" In
ut is very difficult to explain it. 1t
may be due to one of several things.
I think it would be necessary for
further examinations to be made be-
fore any definite explanations could
be made. That would be the duty of
the pathologists."
Louis L. Babcock, who was in
charge of the ceremonies in the Tenn
pie of Music on the day of the shoot
ing, followed DR.. Mann. He gave de-
tails of the arrangements made for
the reception and described the posi-
ton of the president and the points of
entrance and exit from the Temple
Of Music and told where he stood
when the fatal shots were fired.
81 heard two shots. I Immediately
turned to the left. saw the president

Lines
In memory of Thomas Hill, died Apri
Is, 1901:
Death again has come among us
Severed is the silver cord;
All his pain and toll are over,
He has gone to his reward.
1t is hard to hear this sorrow,
Yet we say THY will be done"
For did not Our Heavenly Father
Give, for us, His Blessed Son?
Very sorely do we miss him,
As in the accustomed place
in our home, no more we hear his
Loving voice nor see his face.
He was gentle, kind and patient
When by sickness sOrely tried;
Giving loved ones words of comfort
Calm and peacefully he died
One and all we dearly love him,
And we know he loved us too;
Many friends his kindness won him
He had enemies but few
When his country called for action
lie was eager to obey,
And he served her, (till Obliged to
Leave by sickness) night and day.
Not alone his country served he;
Never friend in VAIN would ask;
When another needed service
lie was ready for the task
As a husband true, devoted
As father good and kind
All his life was spent in pleasing
Those whom now he leaves behind.
Let us then be up and doing
So that when our course is run,
Having here been true and faithful.
We may hear the Lords well Done"
For we have not long to linger
Ere we, too, shall reach that shore,
Where from him we love so dearly
Wen be parted never more. H. c.n
