DIES FOR HIS CRIME

these people and keep the list for police
reference. 1 believe that there may
come a time when such list would be
valuable in running down anarchists.
4 have decided to bury the body OF
CzOlgosz in the regular prison plot in
the local cemetery. We will keep the
grave guarded day and night until
such time as the quicNlime which will
be placed around the body shall have
entirely destroyed it,"
Electrician Davis made this state
ment as TO the execution I used LOO
volts of electricity, turning it into the
body at full voltage for seven seconds
and then slowly reducing it for forty
five seconds. Then I threw the full
voltage on again for eight seconds.
Then at the suggestion of Mr. MacDon-
aid, turned it on again for few sec
onds. I did not think there was any
necessity for the third contact, and
the lack of resistance shown when it
was administered proved that life was
extinct.
"The body showed eight amperes of
resistance. That is a little more than
would be given a larger or stOUter man
where the current could have more
chance to percOlate. It was as success
fui an execution as I ever operated at
In his interview with superintendent
Collins last night, CzOlgOsz made an
other eXplana ton of his visit to Chi
cago just before he went to Buffalo, but
later admitted that he had lied He
said that when he reached Chicago a
boy whom he did not know approached
him at the depot and handed him
packet of money. He said the money
was for use on the Buffalo trip. but he
never knew who sent it TO him or the
identity of the lad who delivered it. He
then explained that most of the meet
ings of anarchists that he attended at
Cleveland were held in saloons desig-

Denies Money Transaction.
Half an hour later. when the super
intendent called in the brother-in-law
up again and said:
How about that money you got at
Chicago?"
What money!" asked the prisoner.
''Why the money you told me about
here earlier in the evening" said the
superintendent.
Did I tell you that. 1 have forgot
ten if I did. I did not get any money.
If 1 said so it was not true"
Another demonstration of the many
falsehOOds told by the prisoner was
furnished by Waldeck Czolgosz. He
positively assured Warden Mead that
his brother Leon could read and write,
in direct contradiction OF the Oft-re-
peated claim of the prisoner that he
was illiterate.
WaIdeck Czolgosz and waldeck
Thomas Bandowski, brother and broth
er-in-Iaw of the assassin, called at the
prison at O'Clock this afternoon They
sent word in to Warden Mead that
they wished to see the body of Leon
Czolgosz. The warden told them that
the body had been buried for more than
an hour and that if they wished he
would send a guard to guide them TO
the grave.
They answered that they did not care
to go to the cemetery but they were
anxious to arrange for the collection
of the insurance on the life of the dead
murderer and asked that a certificate
of death be given to them. The war
den promised them that he would do
so and they departed. The insurance
about which they talked is supposed to
be in a fraternal society to which the
murderer belonged.
