sin Hears the Sentence
of Death.
AWAITING THE CHAIR
Leon CZolgosz Has Been Removed
from Buffalo to Auburn Where
He Will be Electrocuted.
The Craven Prisoner Was Smitten
by Fear and His Tongue Re-
fused Him.

Buffalo, Sept 27.-Czolgosz, the
doomed assassin of President McKin-

mencing Monday, Oct. %. Sheriff
Caldwell and IL men took the prison
er in a special ear attached to the sec
ond section of train No. l., which left

the back entrance of the Erie county
Jail, surrounded by the Il men, and
was hustled into the special car which
had backed down on the terrace tracks
few rods in the rear of the Jail a
minute before. Sheriff Caldwell ar
ranged for the departure, and his
moves We're kept so secret and We're
so cleyery managed that no one but
the guards, the officials and newspaper
men who were on the watch knew that
the assassin was being Struggled out
of the Jail
CzolgosZ was yesterday afternoon
sentenced TO be electrocuted in Auburn
state prison during the week beginning
Oct. %, 1901. Before sentence was
passed the assassin evinced desire TO
speak, but he could not get his voice
above whisper, and his words were
repeated TO the court by his counsel.
There was no one else but me-" the
prisoner said in a whisper. mo one
else told me to do 1t, and no one paid
me 10 do It, l was not told anything
about the crime, and 1 never thought
anything about that until couple of
days before | committed the crime"
CzolgosZ sat down. He was quite
calm. but 1t was evident that his mind
was flooded with thoughts of his own
distress. His eyes were dilated, max
ing them appear very bright. His
cheeks were trifie pale and his out
stretched hand trembled. The guards
put handouts on his wrists. He look
ed at one of the officers. There was
an expression OF the profoundest fear
and helplessness in his eyes. He
glanced about at the people who
crowded the room In efforts to get
look at him. The prisoners eyelids
rose and fell TREMENDOUSLY and then he
fixed his gaze on the floor in front of
him.
AT this point Judge Titus came over
to the prisoner and babe him good-by.
CzolgosZ replied very family, letting
his eye rest upon the man who has
been his counsel "Good-by," he said.
weakly.
CzolgosZ was then hurried down
stairs and through the tunnel of
sobs" to the Jail. where he remained
until removed TO Auburn last night to
pay the penalty for his crime.

In an hour the pair, with fifty men be-

BY the light of the torches they saw the

1t is said that when Sir Peter heard of
this terrible tragedy his red hair stood or

He gave up hunting and hawking raidine

JOSEPH AEA HAS ENJOYED MUCH
SCHOOLING.
Is Ward of the Queen and a Fine Rep
resentative of His Race-Graduated
From Kamehameha School.

Joseph *. Aea is the successful can
didate tor the military cadetship. Dele
gate WILCOX appointed the young man
to the position at West Point and all
that remains now is for Aea to pass
the examination to be admitted and
become one of he wearers of Uncle
Sans gray.
Aea is now is years of age and is a
splendid specimen of the Hawaiian
race. He stands over six feet and
weighs $50 pounds. He has a fine erect
carriage and is a handsome youth.
Although naturally elated over the
honor bestowed upon him, young Aea
still retains his characteristic modesty
and is not the least arrogant as
the result of recognition given him. He
realizes that the hardest part of the
battle lies before him and no political
influence will win him entrance to the
academy. 1t will be through close ap-
plicatiOn to his books and his own
ability that will carry him safely over
the final ditch.
Young Aea's nomination will be we'll
received by the Hawaiians. In addi-
tion to being a member of that race he
| is the ward of Queen Liliuokalani and
it was through her influence with Mr..
Wilcox that he was named above the
other candidates, as there was no COM
| petitiVe examination. Aea has been a
member of the Queens household and
| is now the gentleman in waiting to the
former monarch. His father formerly
| played in the band and is now residing
at Waikiki.
| He has had a considerable amount
of schooling. He attended the Fort
street school for six years, and then
went to Iolani school for four years
more. After this, young Aea passed
a year and half at the Kamehameha
| School where he graduated last year.
| Although the young mans schooling
! has been very extensive, he says that
/ there are many studies in the West
| Point curriculum, which he has never
! studied. The examination will occur in
June A special examining board of
army officers will probably be convened
at this place for the purpose of con-
ducting the examination and forward
ing the results TO the board at West
! Point. If successful in this eXamna-
ton. young Aea will proceed imme-
| diately to West Point to be enrolled in
the freshman class as "plebe.'

GIL CASE POSTPONED
JUDGE WILCOX MAY REFUSE TO
HEAR IT.
Allows Only Two DaysA Postponement
AS The Complaining Witness is Said
To Be Able to Appear

Judge Wilcox this morning refused
to grant a postpOnement of one week,
on request of the prosecution, in the
Gill case and intimated that he might
refuse to hear the case al all, insisting
instead that the matter be brought be-
fore the Grand Jury at once. The judge
postponed the hearing until Wednes
day morning, intimating that in his
opinion the complaining witness would
be able to appear in court then. His
honor had been making inquiries and
he stated that he had been informed
that Stevens was already able to be up
and about in the hospital.
Deputy Sheriff Chillingworth asked
for the postponement saying that he
had been informed that Mr.. Stevens
was still confined to the hospital
and would probably not be able
to appear until the end of the week or
| later. Attorney Hankey for the de-
fense made no objections, but the judge
had objections of his own.
Il may decline to hear this case at
ALL" said Judge Wilcox. THE Grand
Jury is now in session, and l do not
see why | should go through all the
testimony for nothing, when the same
ground will all have to be gone over
again before the Grand Jury. In fact
| am informed that complaint has al
ready been brought before the Grand
Jury in the case. No purpose is an
swered by my doing what the Grand
| Jury will have to do in any case"
Judge Wilcox as a committing ma
gistrate in such case could only order
the defendant held for trial before a
I jury. If he should do this it would still
be the province of the Grand Jury TO
| inquire into the case and find an indIct-
/ ment, should the evidence he held to
warrant so doing.
Il have been making some inquiries
myself" continued the Judge, "and |

able to get up and move about the hos
pital and the grounds. l do not say

Wednesday morning, and we shall see
what to do then"
Deputy Sheriff Chillingworth asked
that the name of Lorrin A. Andrews be
entered as assisting the prosecution in
| the case and this was done.
! Stevens is doing very we'll at the hos
pital. He has been able to get up for a
time, as stated by the judge, and bar

THE KINAU REPORTED A
HILO.
Was to Leave for Honolulu Today
Rough Weather Still Interferes With
Island Shipping.

Many passengers gathered at the In
teri Island wharf this morning early
hoping that after four or five postpone
ments of her departure the steamer
Mauna Loa would at last leave for La
haina Kona and Kau. But they were
disappointed again. The Ke Au Hou's
reports of rough weather at the wind
ward islands and the evident continu-
ance of storm here resulted in deci-
sion to postpone the sailing until 8
o'clock tomorrow morning. The assem-
bled passengers waited while President
Ena Captain Simerson and Captain
Haglund held a conference on the sub
ject and went home grumbling when
the decision was given out. The wait
ing is a great inconvenience to many
people who have been anxious for some
days to go to Maui and Kona, but it is
considered better than starting and be-
ing unable to land.
Captain SimersOn was quite certain
that Lahaina would be unapprOaChable
and he would have left Maui out and
steamed to Kona.

dine, whose run is on the side of the
| island that is smoother during storm
| from the south.
| The Ke Au Hou had a very hard trir
| down. Seas broke over her almost con-
| tinuously. She had three deck pas
! sengers and bad time they had. They
were drenched all the way and could
| only hang on and wait for the journeys
end. The little steamer came down the
| channel with wind and sea behind hel
| and had little need for using her Owr
! power.
The bark Albert, Captain Griffith left
| for San Francisco at about sever
