Police Ignorance as To Anarchists

Buffalo. ~. Y, September 9.-Cxol-
gosz. the assassin, went through anoth-
er long examination today al tae hands
OF the police officials. but emerged from
1t without having added anything ma
terial TO their knowledge Of the case.
The chief Efforts OF the detectives were
TO draw from the prisoner some admis-
sion as to his accomplices- but he per-
sistently stuck TO his denial that he
was assisted in any way IN the commits
sion OF the crime.
Every possible device was resorted
to in the effort to obtain the informa-
uon but che prisoner maintained his
position n could not be shaken
In answer TO questions he again went
over the events OF Friday and told sub
siantially the same story as IN q
origtnai confession made TO Supertn-
tendent Bull and District Attorney
Penny. He carefully weighed his ans
wers and conclusions that he did
not approve were aiken from his state
ments insisted upon making explana-
tons of his exact meaning.
The police have about concluded thai
more effective work on the plot theory
can be done on the outside. although
Czolgosz probably will have another
experience with the third degree OF
police craft tomorrow.
The general Investigation OF the case
progresses slowly. a the men on
IL must cover a large amount OF pre-
liminary ground before they do anec-
tive work.
According TO the local authorities
the police of the country know very
little about the anarchists. They say
that the secret service do not show any
special familiarity with them Ind that
there does not seem TO be a single city
police department in the country that
has more than a general knowledge OF
them Members OF the Buffalo force
admit that they ave never given
American anarchists serious consider
alton and that they did not know
there were any here. Since the presi-
dent was shot hey have found that
there were at least twenty avowed an
archists in this city. Here. as else
where. il has been necessary for the
detectives TO first satisfy themselves
as 10 the identity OF a lot Of men whous
they never had occasion TO watch be-
fore.
No other arrests have been made I'm
connection with the case, and the local
police say they Go not anticipate any
for the present.
1t is believed that both Emma Cold
man and Julius Schwab will be detain-
ed by the police whenever they are
found. Superintendent Bull has made
a general request to The police OF the
country that any one suspected OF COM
plicity be etained and examined. The
police OF Chicago, Cleveland, Detroit
and other middle state cities are CO.
operating with the local officers in
tracing out the movement of the pris-
oner before the crime and Superinten-
dent Bull said tonight Tat they had
practically accounted for him for the
six weeks that preceded his arrival
here.
Czolgosz is still kept secludet. and
the detectives are the only ones Who
have access to him. He is still strong
and healthy and eats with a will.
knowledge of the condition of the
president is kept from him. He knew
on Friday night that the president was
still alive. but has been given no infor-
nation since then.
Not once since his confinement either
in talking with his guards or when up
for examination has he asked as to
the fate of his victim. No plan for the
arraignment Of the prisoner has been
considered by District Attorney Penny.
When seen tonight that official said:
W are still investigating the case
and until the inquiry by the police is
concluded and something definite as to
the result of the presidents wounds Is
known. nothing will be done about the
prosecution Of the prisoner. AL discus
sion of the subject is premature. I
have not yet even taken the matter
up for consideration"
