 Warden Berry gave Brown a new suit of plaan black clothes yesterday afternoon and the negro took bath, shaved and dressed. He will wear the suit to Ash vile today.

CZOLGOSZ STILL
 REFUSES TO TALK
Says He Killed the President and Simply Did His
 Duty

Buffalo, N. r., September 19.-"Yes, l killed him, of course, and what's the use of talking about it? I am an anarchist and simply did my duty; that's all I'll say"
 Leon F. Czolgosz, the assassin of Pres1- dent Mckinley, said these words today to Frank o. Olozanowsld, editor of Buffalo- ski, a Polish newspaper, but would say nothing further about the crime, while willing to talk freely on other subjects Olozanowsk paid his second visit to the assassdn's cell He was sent by the dis trict attorney in pursuance of vain ef- forts to move the prisoners stubborn tongue.
 Last week Olozanowsld was unsuccess- full in his attempts. Today he went back again.
 "Czolgosz talked freely on every sub ject suggested except his crime," said Olozanowski tonight. His conversation would have been entertaining coming from a man other than the Presidents as- sassin. He talked on the Polish alliance and a variety of other subjects, but when I spoke of his crime he merely said: What's the use of talking about that? Killed the President; am an anarchist; I simply did my duty; that's all I'll say Czolgosz spoke earnestly and de- terminedly. I tried him several ways, but he would not add a word to his declara- ton. don't believe any one has any more from hdm about the crime. Czolgosz Is intelligent, and I don't believe he will tell more"
 The closest watch Is being kept on Czol- gosz, and the sherdff's officers also seem bent on aiding the prosecution by getting an admission from the prisoner, but so far have been unsuccessful. The prisoner talks on ordinary subjects occasionally, but will not talk on subjects leading up to the assassination of the President. When questioned in that relation Czolgosz as- sumes stubborn silence.

Friends Do Not Regard Her as on the Verge of
 Collapse

Canton, Ohio, September 19.-The friends of Mrs Mckinley do not tonight regard her as being upon the verge of collapse. On the contrary, they express themselves as quite confident that she will be spared to them for long time in. as at least, as good a state of health as she has en- joyed for the last five years. Dr. Rixsy said late this afternoon:
 Mrs. Mckinley Is bearing up as we'll as could be expected under the circum- stances. She has been and is still suffer- ing intensely from her bereavement, and has frequently given away to sobs and tears, but for all that she has been doing as well as any woman could do under similar circumstances. We have no im- mediate expectations of anything but fav- orable conditions in her case"
