Czolgosz reluctantly received Fathers
F'Idzinski and Hickey. 1t was late in
the afternoon and occurred after he
had once refused to meet him. When
they reached the prison, Superintendent
Collins conveyed the request for an in
terview to the prisoner. Czolgosz sent
back word that he did not care to see
them, but the priests asked to see him.
despite his refusal. Superintendent Col
Inns consented and personally escorted
them to the cell The priests remained
with CzolgOsZ for three-quarterS of an
hour, and earnestly pleaded with the
prisoner to repent and pray for divine
forgiveness. He rejected all their adj
vances, however, and they regretfully
withdrew. They told the prisoner they
would hold themselves ready to answer
night.
1t was z o'clock when Superintendent
Collins went into the death house and
tried to get the prisoner to talk to him.
Although he remained in the cell some
time, he was apparently not successful
in getting anything material from him.
At o'clock the brother and brother
in-law arrived and Superintendent Col
Inns took them down to the condemned
mans cell. There was no demonstration
when they met. Czolgosz merely step
ped to the front of his steel cage and
said:
Hello" The brother ventured the
remark:
Il wish you would tell us, Leon, who
got you into this scrape.''
The assassin answered in a slow, hes
itating manner:
mo one. Nobody had anything to do
with it but me-
THAT is not how you were brought
up said the brother. land you ought to
tell US everything now"
81 have not anything to tell" he an
swered in a surly manner.
do you want to see the priest again?"
asked his brother.
And he answered with more vehemence
than he had previously shown:
mo, - them: don't send them here
again. 1 don't want them"
The brother-in-law interjected here:
That's right, Leon
The brother looked rather disturbed by
the answer. Then stepping up close to
the bars the condemned man said:
And don't you have any praying over
me when I'm dead 7 don't want it. I
don't want any of their religion"
There was a painful pause of a few
moments and then the relatives resumed
casual conversation with him to which
he replied in monosyllables until the
brother-in-law suggested, much to
Superintendent Collins surprise, that he
and the brother be permitted to witness
the execution. Before the Superintend-
ent could reply Leon Czolgosz said
Eyes, Mr.. superintendent, let them see
me killed.
Superintendent Collins told the trio
in emphatic terms that no such thing
could be allowed, and ordered them tic
say goodbye.
Czolgosz walked to the back of his
cell, lay down on the edge of his cot
and did not answer the last farewell
When the relatives reached the war
denis Office they again renewed their
request to see the execution, to which
Mr.. Collins replied:
"Emphatically no. Czolgosz will be
killed at o'clock tomorrow and if you
apply to the warden in the afternoon
you may be able to see the body"
The two men were then let out of the
prison.
A few minutes after they had left.
superintendent Collins received tele-
phone message from the chief of police

WOMAN IN BLACK.
Mysterious Emporia Character Fin
ally Captured and Fined in Court.

Emporia, Kan, Oct 2s.-The female
character which has been terrorizing
men, women and children in this town
after night by her strange actions and
dress and who was known as the 'wo-
man in black" has been captured by the
police. She gave her name as Welper
and is married.
When caught, Mrs. Welper was clothed
from head to foot in black and wore a
black veil over her head, drawing it
around her face SO as to expose only
her glazing eyes. This creatures main
haunt was in one of the darkest and
toughest portions of town, near the rail-
road. She would walk up and catch
men by the arm, talking in a weak
sharp voice. Women and children would
run in fright. When Mrs Welper ap-
peared in police court this morning she
wore a black silk dress, black hat black
gloves and veil. Her fine was $3.50,
which she paid.

MISS KELLY's EXPERIENCE
She Writes of KIondike For Lippin-

Emma Kelly. of Topeka, who is now in
the Klondike, has written her experiences

These articles she says give the

district, I saw them in their primitive
condition. During the winter of 1897 and
people who were there, having been in the
district from five. to twelve years, were
typical pioneers: so far removed from
centers of civilization that it seemed al
most like another world. While l was
doing some newspaper work my writings
dealt chiefly with gold discoveries and de-
velopments, and less with the character
iSticS of the pioneers as L met them. With
the summer of 1888, and the great influx
of gold-seekers to the Klondike. the prim-
tive Dawson, the Dawson of peculiar in
terest as the center of the most wonder
full mining camp ever established, passed
away having been superseded by the
Dawson of new people and modern i'm
prOvementS. The railway from SkagWay
was soon extended a hundred miles, and
from its terminus a line of stage coaches
ran into Dawson. while the lake and
rivers were supplied with steamers for
carrying passengers into the new coun-
