or tie interviews were prIel ana tne
interviewers did most of the talking
until the question of religion was men
toned. when Czolgosz broke from his
seeming lethargy and violently de-
nounced the church and the clergy and
made his relatives promise that there
should be no service for him living
or dead. the brother said: Il wish
yor would tell US, Leon. who got you
into this serape?"
The assassin answered in a SLOW
hesitating manner:
No one Nobody had anything to
do with ii but me.
That is not how you were brought
up said the brother. and you ought
TO tell us everything now"
Il haven't got anything to tell. -
he answered in a surly manner.
DO you want to see the priests
again?" asked his brother. He an
swered with more vehemence than he
had previously shown:
No. damn them: cont send them
here again; don't want them"
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. don't want
it. | don't want any of their damned
religion
Czolgosz spent his last day of life
much as he did all the others since
he passed into the hands OF the law.
The approach OF death seemed TO
awaken no greater consciousness of
his position He again turned his back
upon the priests who came to urge
him to confess and repent and was
undemonstratiye in the presence of
those OF his kin. who came to say a
last farewell to him. When alone with
his guards he remained silent and
passed the time either lying on his
bunk. or in slowly pacing up and down
the cell He talked. when addressed,
TO those admitted near his cell. but
with his old deliberation and slow
ness Ii he knew strong emotion at
any time. he was successful in con-
cealing it from those who watched
over him.

Coming to Richmond.
lwiuchester Herald. oct Der >.


Well, commencing this morning
the switch engine and crew have
taken up their headquarters at Rich
mond, adding FIVE or six more to the
fifty or sixty empty houses in Win
chester. A majority of the people
are sorry to lose the engines and crew,
but are great deal sorrower that
they did not take some of the fellows
who done the Kicking and have never
been worth a dollar to the town since
they have been in it along with them.
We did not blame Sandy Alexander
for kicking, but there are some others
who signed the petition to have the
engine removed that kick on every
enterprise that does not just suit
their fancy. Winchester had better
be holding out inducements TO locate
Industries instead of driving them
out, and if we continue to drive en-
terprises out we had better fence the
town and place a tombstone at each
street crossing.

Auburn, n. Y, Oct. 29.-At 7:12
this morning Leon Czolgoz, the muir
derer of President Mckinley, paid
the penalty of his crime, by a sho"k
from 100 volts of electricity. He
went to the chair talking to the wit
nesses and while being strapped to
the chair. II killed the President, J"
he said, because he was the enemy
of good people, good working people.
| am lot sorry for my crime. am aw-
fully sorry l could not see my
father.
Czolgosz slept well last night, re-
tiring at 10 and being awakened by
guard at 4:45 when tie death war
rant was read to him by the warden.
Before leaving the cell he said he
wanted tc make a statement before a
whole lot of people. The warden told
him he could not. Then | IL not
talk at all, he said sullenly. His
breakfast was then brought and he
ate with good relish. Meanwhile
the witnesses gathered and at 1:0S
passed through tue death chamber 60.
ing through the large south corridor
Warden Meade told the witnesses
they must keep their seats and keep
silence no matter what transpired;
there were enough guards to pre-
serve order. After throwing the
current into lot of incandescent
lights showing its great power the
chair was made ready for the prison
er and the signal given to bring him
in. At 1:109 the door opened and
two guards marched with the prison
er into the corridor, two others fol-
lowing, and the chief keeper in front
of the guards had hold of Czolgosz 5
arms either to support him or to pre-
vent demonstration. AS be step
ped over the threshold he stumbled
but they held him up. and again on
the rubber covered platform on which
the chair sat. He was intensely pale
and his chin quivered. He tried to
look brave. Within a minute he was
placed in the chair and had
spoken the words saying he
was not sorry for his crime. The
guards stepped b-cl. Warden Meade

gave him packet OF money to be
used at Buffalo He did not know
from whom it came nor the boy who
brought it. Half an hour later when
asked again about it he pretended to
have forgotten that he had said any
such thing. His brother Waldrek
says Leon S statement that he was
illiterate was not true, that he could
his brain normal If not above normal.
Superintendent Collins says the
execution was tie most successful
ever conducted. Extraordinary pre-
cautions were taken because of hun
dreds of threatening letters recei ed.
1t is decided not to DESTROY these
letters for the present. He will
also preserve the letters sent
to Czolgosz for police reference in
tracing anarchists. Lists of the full
names signed will be kept and efforts
made to trace the writers Tney
will bury Czolgosz within 4S hours
and keep the grave guarded day and
night until the quick lime placed
around the DO 1v has destroyed it.
Every portion of the anatomy OF
the dead assassin was Placed IN a
plain black coffin, and after being
lowered in the grave carbolic acid
was poured in. 1t is expected this
will thoroughly disintegrate the
body in twelve hours. All the cloth
ing and personal effects are burned.
Waideck Czoigosz, brother of the
murderer. foreseeing endless Difficult
ties and possibly angry demonstra-
tions as the result of an attempt 10
give the body ordinary burial, needed
the advice of Superintendent of State
Prisons Collins and Warden Mead
and formally relinquished all claim to
II. He merely stipulated that at the
close of the autopsy all parts of the
body should be buried. All chance of
an unhappy and unfortunate sequel
to the execution, either in displays
of popular contempt or the exhibition
of CHASTITY relice is therefore finally
prevented. The plan of burning his
clothing and papers was carried out
Immediately after the execution.
Czolgosz held his last two inter
views last night, the first with Super
intendent Collins and the second with
-.S brother and brother-in-law. Both

For 45 seconds the full current was
