HE PREDICTED ASSASSINATION
Maggie, the Musician, Last February
Fiinted of Presidents Murder.

Kansas City, Mo, Sept. 11.-An in
vestigation of the local record of An
tonic Maggie, the Italian, who is said
to have predicted the death of Presi-
dent Mckinley and who is now under
arrest in New Mexico, reveals the fact
that he was the leader of a consider
able band of Anarchists in Kansas City
two years ago. They were disciples of
NINA Goldman, for whom Maggie had
a sort of veneration.
Edward Andrews, manager of the
Andrews Opera company, with which
Antonio Maggie was formerly engaged
as a cornetist, is in this city. "Severa
members of our company" said Mr..
Andrews yesterday, were in the habit
of discussing economic and social ques-
tions and Tony cut in with his An
archistic doctrines Maggie said no
man had right to rule another and
one day said the blood of every soldier
killed in the Philippines was on the
Presidents hands and the only way the
common people could assert their
rights was by assassination. Last Feb
ruary he told me distinctly to watch
for an important event before October.
He assured us that President Mckinley
would be killed before that month
came"

CzoIeoIsz,s Brother Aroused.

Columbus, o., Sept 11-A brother
of Leon CzoIgosz, the woud-be mur
derer Of President Mckinley is en-.
ployed at the Diamond Match works
in Harberton. He has been going un.
der the name of John Seldom due, he
says, to the error OF the tlmekeeper
when he first went to work. He con.
demns in the strongest poss bic man
ner the deed Of the assassin. and
even went so far as to exclaim, with
considerable force Leon ought to be
strung up" He does not believe that
his brother committed the crime from
any belief in anerohy, but says that
he must have been paid for doing it.

Throngs OF people crowded in at the
various entrances, to gaze upon their
executive, perchance to clasp his hand
and then fight their way out in the
good-natured mob that every minute
swelled and multiplied at the points
OF ingress and egrcss to the building.
The President was in a cheerful mood
and was enjoying to the full the hear
ty evidences Of good will which every
where met his gaze. Upon his right
stood John G. Milburn, of Buffalo, the
president of the Pan-American Expo
sition, chatting with the President and
introducing to him especially persons
of note who approached. Upon the
Presidents left stood Mr. Cortelyou.
1t was shortly after p. M. when
one of the throng which surrounded
the presidential party, medium-sized
man of ordinary appearance, and plain
ly dressed in black, approached as if
to greet the President.
