MURDER IN FIRST DEGREE.
Czolgosz Will Probably Go To Electric
 Chair Inside of Two Months.


 Buffalo. Sept 17.-At 4:15 o'clock yesterday afternoon, just exactly ten days after the shooting, the grand jury voted unanimously to indict CZolgosZ for murder ill the first degree. At Al o'clock the indictment was presented to Judge Emery in the county court. Then ensued a wait of an hour, but the rumor that the murderer was to be ar- raigned spread, and i'll a short time the court room was crowded.
 After the indictment was reported, the prisoner was driven from the peni- tentiary, mile from city hall, to the jail across the street from the hall. Czolgosz was then taken, under strong guard, from the jail through the tun- nel under Delaware avenue, to the basement of city hall and up the stairs to the court room on the second floor.
 The prisoner was shackled to Detec- tive Solomon and Detective Geary held his other arm; Assistant Superintend- ent Cusack marched in front and a number of patrOlmen behind. Czolgosz is of medium height, of fairly good build and has light curly hair, but a ten days growth of beard on his face gave him an unkempt appearance. Ap- parently he feigned insanity, not stu pidity and his glance roamed about, but his eyes were always downcast. Not once did he look the county prose- cutor or the judge in the face.
 "Czolgosz, have you got a lawyer? Do you wish a lawyer? You have been indicted for murder in the first degree, do you want a lawyer to de- fend you? Czolgosz, look at me and answer" District Attorney Penney fired these at the prisoner, his voice rising with each succeeding question, but Czolgosz refused to answer.
 The district attorney suggested that counsel be assigned to defend the pris- oner and ascertain what he had better do as to his plea to the indictment be- fore arraignment. Judge Emery asked the prisoner if he had counsel, but there was no answer, despite the fact that the police officers told him the judge was speaking and that he must answer.
 The court then said: "Czolgosz you having appeared for arraignment in the court without counsel, the law makes it the duty of the court to as sign counsel. The bar association of our county has considered the matter and suggested the names of certain i gentlemen of high character for such assignment. The court has seriously considered the question and after such consideration has concluded to follow | the suggestions made by the associa- | ton. The court, therefore, assings Hon Loran l.. Lewis and Hon Robert c, l Titus as your counsel" Judge Emery directed the officers to notify the at torneys and remove the prisoner. | Czolgosz was handcuffed to the de l tectives who started out of the court room with him. The crowds surged | after them, but found the exit barred 1 by four strong policemen. Outside the | court room door, the prisoner was sur l rounded by twelve policemen and clubs drawn, under command of Captain Mi chael Began. The prisoner was hur- ried downstairs and into the basement
 whence he was taken through the tun. l nel to the jail across Delaware avenue l Whether he was left there for the night or taken elsewhere the police refused | to say.
 1 District Attorney Penney said as he left the court room that Justices Lewis and Titus would be notified and given | an opportunity to talk with the prison
 CT and that he hoped to arraigr Czolgosz this morning to take his pleas to the indictment. The trial of the prisoner will begin next Monday morn
 ing at 10 o'clock in part three of the supreme court, that being the opening I day of the September term.
