A letter also written by him to broth

woman with whom he had formerly
lived was not his wife. A charge of
bigamy was at that time hanging over
him in Kansas City.
Bessie Striegel was formerly Bessie

COLORAD0'S PIONEER EDUCATOR
IS LAID TO REST AT FAIRMONT

Denver, Oct. 2S.-Not for many years
has there been such gathering of the
pioneers of Colorado as that of yester-
day afternoon at the funeral of the
late Dr. Horace NJ. Hale. And rarely.
II ever, have the pioneers been more
representative OF the growth of the
state.
The men who had known DIR. Hale
in the old days at Central City when
he with them laid the foundation stone
for the present great commonwealth,
mourned at his grave Professors from
the State University at Boulder, of
which institution Dr. Hale was the
head for four years, gathered about the
bier of their former leader. Most con-
spicuous OF all was the large number
of men of Colorado's second generation.
who knew Mr. Hale as their teacher in
the little old stone school house on the
hills of Gilpin county.
DR.. Hale's late residence. No. 2l1

with his many friends. and the small
lawn filed by those who could not get
inside the house. So large was the
crowd that fully two-thlrds OF those

EXECUTION OF CZOLGOSZ
AT AUBURN STATE PRISON

Auburn, n. Y, Oct. Cat T:12:30
this morning Leon II. Czolgosz, the
murderer of President Mckinley, paid
the life penalty for his crime in the
electric chair. at the Auburn state
prison.
The prisoner made brief speech in
the chair. He said he was not sorry
for what he had done, but expressed
regret that he had not seen his father.
The prisoner was given three contacts
of electricity before lie was pronounced
dead
The assassin did not break down.
II killed the President because he
was an enemy Of the good people-of

These were his words as the guards
hurried him into the chair.
moment later, mumbllng through
the half-adjusted mouth straps. he
said.
Il am awfully sorry could not see
my father"
Czolgosz retired last night at 10
o'clock and slept so soundly that when
Warden Mead went to the cell shortly
before o'clock this morning the guard
inside had to shake Czolgosz to awaken
him. He sat up on the edge of his cot
and made Good morning."
The prison official took from his
pocket the death warrant ah,l read it
slowly and distinctly to the assassin,
who hardly raised his eyes during the
perfunctory ceremony.
Half an hour before the execution the
prisoner sent for the superintendent
and warden and said:
II want to make statement before
you kill me-"
What do you wish to say, Czol-
goszf' asked the warden.
II want to make 1t when there are
lot of people present. want them to
hear me-" said the prisoner.

tendent.
'rhcn l won't talk at ALL" said the
prisoner sullenly.
He changed his resolution. however,
and did break the rule of silence in the
death chamber.

Denver, Oct oS.-A Boulder special
of last Saturday night to the Den.er
Republican gives the following account
of the Bert Striegel murder trial:
The trial of Bert Stricgel, accused of
administering poison to his wife Bessie
Striegel, from the effects of which it
is said she died, took an unexpected
turn to-day.
DR.. Battey, one of the physicians
who made post mortem examination
of the deceased, said 1t was his opinion
that she had died from the effects of
some irritating poison, probably NOR
phine but he could not swear that this
was the case, and merely gave 1t as his
opinion. DIR. Palmer, chemist at the
university, who made an analysis of
the contents of the stomach. said If
there was any morphine in the stom-
ach 1t was so small n quantity that 1t
could not have produced death.
After this testimony was in, the de-
fense moved to dismiss the case be-
cause the prosecution had failed to
prove that the woman had died from
the effects of poison. The case was
argued before Judge Bennett this even
ing and the decision of dismissal rem
dered.
On the evening of September 18th
suspicious noises We're heard coming
from the room occupied by Bert STRIFE
gel and his wife in the Lane block.
Striegel had rented the room the day
before, having just arrived from Long
mont. on the morning of the day on
which the woman was found dead, the
chambermaid went to clean the room,
she was met Mt the door by Striegel
and told that his wife was i'll and did
not want to be called until 3 O'Clock in
the afternoon. 1t was after 6 o'clock
when the suspicious noises We're heard
and after knocking on the door repeat
