Auburn, NJ Y, Oct 29-When the
body of CZolgosz had been removed
from the room where he was killed to
the autopsy table, Auburn Prison re-
turned to the routine Of it's ordinary life.
The prisoners who had been kept locked
in their cells, were RELEASED at 7:45
ocolck and prison work was resumed at
once. There was no excitement among
the convicts Scarcely a hundred people
had gathered outside the prison gate to
watch the witnesses enter and wait till
they reappeared. The witnesses dis
persed quickly, some of them leaving
for their homes as early as o'clock.
Naturally almost the entire attention
of the physicians assigned to hold the
autopsy was directed towards discover
ing. ifpossible, whether the assassin was
in any way mentally irresponsible. The
autopsy was conducted by Drs Carlos
F. Macdonald, L. A. Spitzka and Pris-
on Physician Germ. The top of the head
was sawed off through the thickest part
of the skull which was found to be of
norma thickness, and it was the unani

examination that the brain was normal

Strated to the satisfaction OF the phySl-
clans that in no way was Czolgosz's
mental condition, except as it might
have been perverted, responsible for the
crime.
The autopsy was completed shortly
before noon, when the surgeons issued
the following brief statement:

1t was just exactly I'll o'clock when
he crossed the threshold, but a minute
had elapsed and he had just finished the
last statement when the strapping was
completed ard the guards stepped back.
Warden Mead raised his hand and at
7.12:30 Electrician Davis turned the
switch that threw LOO volts OF electricity
into the living body.
The rush of the current threw the body
so hard against the straps that they
ereaked perceptibly. The hands clinched
suddenly and the whole attitude was one
Of extreme tenseness. For forty-five sec
onds the full current was kept on and
then slowly the electrician threw the
switch hack, reducing the current volt by
volt until it was entirely cut Off Then
just as it had reached that point he threw
the lever back again for two or three
seconds. The body which had collapsed
as the current was reduced, stiffened UP
again against the straps When it was

the chair and put his hand over the
heart. He said he felt no pulsation, but
suggested that the current be turned on
for a few seconds again. Once more the
body became rigid. At :157 the current
was turned off for time.
