The police believe less and less of
this story the more they question
Czolgosz. They are convinced that the
attempt to murder the President was
the result OF a maturely hatched anar-
chist plot.
In all questioning OF Czolgosz now
they are careful torefrain from anything
like browbeating or bniling him. When
they hold line OF inquiry that stirs his
vanity and conceit, which are his chief
characteristics, he responds readily. So
far as his treatment in his prison is con-
cerned, it has been ordered that he be
not annoyed or harassed In any way,
and that he be made comparatively COM
Portable. There lie deliberate purpose
in this. 1t is not the intention that
when he is arraigned he shall have
hunted. bounded look to give color to
any plea Of insanity that he may set up.
He has made no effort to try the insan-
ity dodge 30 far.

their most confidential moments was that the Presi-
dent was suffering from heart failure that his condi
ton was critical and even that the chances were
against his surviving.
1t is said that in addition to heart failure, the
President suffered intense pain caused by the indiges
ted food he partook of yesterday. He is extremely
weak. The report that Mrs Mckinley was sent for
and that the President would not live is verified
by the doctors.
