BUFFALO. y Y, Sept. 1.-THE Com
merciaI says: District Attorney Thomas
Penny took steps to bring Leon Czolgocz'
the assassin OF President Mckinley, 20 an
immediate trial for that crime On Mon
day morning Mr.. Penny will present to the
County Court jury. now in session, evidence
OF the dastardy crime. and there IS not the
slightest shadow Of doubt that Czolgocz
will be indicted for murder in the FIRST de-
gree. County Judge Edward X. Emory,
will Immediately receive the report of that
Indictment from the grand jury. District
Attorney Penny wiz at once move that the
Indictment be transferred 10 the Supreme
Court for trial capital Offenses cannot
be tried in the County Court. Mr. Emory
will grant the desired order for transfer
Then ClOzgOcz can be arraigned to plead
20 the Indictment on Monday, Sept. p. 1t
Is not known that he viii be arraigned on
that day, but that is the earliest day upon
which the prisoner can be brought before
the court, as at present there is no session
OF the Supreme Court. On Sept. ., Justice
White Will convene the regular September
term of Part OF the Supreme Court,
which part is set aside for the trial o. Grim
inal cases. Should the murderer Inform
the court that he has no counsel ard that
he has no means with which 10 employ one,
the court will be required to assign an at
torney to defend the prisoner upon the
trial Of the indictment for murder. Dis
trict Attorney Penny is perfectly confident
that CzOlgocz will be cinvicted of the crime
of murder in the first degree-that is, that
the crime was deliberate and premeditated
and the penalty for which, under the
laws of New York State is death by cleo
trocution. District Attorney Penny Will
permit OF no delay and the bastard assas-
sin will be given a speedy trial by jury.
Governor II. b. Odell, of New York, had
a long conference tonight with District
Attorney Penny relative to the most eX-
peditiOus method of trying and cOnvicting
the murderer of President Mckinley. Mr..
Penny told the Governor that the case was
already prepared for the Srand jury and
would be presented To that body on Mon
day or Tuesday of next week. The grand
jury would make a preScntment To County
counsel for the defense. The main QuCs-
tion of discussion between the Governor
and the district attorney was as to .wheth-
er or not the Governor should appoint an
extraordinary term of the Supreme Court
TO try the prisoner instead of allowing the
. case to go before any of the judges OF the
department. Mr.. Penny's ideas was that
the Governor should appoint an extra
ordinary term and select special judge.
"A list Of the judges was presented TO the
Governor and up to quite "a late hour he
had not yet decided 10 which course he
WOuiu pursue OF II ne determined 10 nave
a special term as TO which judge ne should
designate. Governor Odell viii remain here
until Monday and then go to Washington
with the funeral train.
At 1870 o'clock this Sunday morning
Superintendent OF Police Bull issued the
following notice TO the press: TO relieve
the heavy police detail at No. / station that
their services might be used for other im-
pOrtant details il was decided, on cOnsulta-
tion with the district attorney, TO remove
the Presidents assassin from the head
quarters building, which has been DONE
superintendent Bull left the police head
quarters before the statement was given
out and could not be found afterward.
Nothing is known to where the prisoner
is confined There are two places
where he could be taken-JO the jail or the
penitentiary-and il is likely that CzOlgocz
Is now in one of these places.
