Cz0LGOSz EXAMINED.
The Assailant Of President Nc
Kinley Put in the Sweat Box.


Buffalo, N. Y, Sept. 1O.-Czolgosz,
the assailant of President Mckinley,
went through another long examina-
tion yesterday at the hands Of the
police officials, but emerged from it
without having added anything mate
rial to their knowledge of the case.
The chief effort of the detectives was
to draw from the prisoner some ad-
mission as to his accomplices, but he
persistently stuck to his denial that
he was assisted in any way in the
commission Of the crime. Every pos
sible device was resorted to in the ef-
fort to obtain the information, but
the prisoner maintained his position
and could not be shaken. In answer
to questions he again went over the
events of Friday and told substantial
ly the same story us In the original
confession made to Superintendent
Bull and District Attorney Penney.
The police have about concluded
that more effective work on the plot
theory can be done on the outside.
The general investigation Of the case
progresses slowly because the men on
it must cover large amount Of pre-
liminary ground before they can do
effective work. According to the To-
cal authorities the police Of the coun-
try know very little about the an
archists. They say that the secret
service men do not show any special
familiarity with them and that there
does not seem to be single city
police department In the country that
has more than a general knowledge
of them. Members of the Buffalo
force admit that they have never
given American anarchists serious
consideration and that they did not
know there were any here. Since the
president was shot they have found
that there are at least 20 avowed
anarchists In the city. Here, as else
where, It has been necessary for the
detectives to first satisfy themselves
as to the identity of lot OF men
whom they never had occasion to
watch before. No other arrests have
beep made. in connection with tho
case and the local police say that
they do not anticipate any for the
present.
1t is believed that both Emma Cold
! man and Julius Schwab will be de-
tanned by the police whenever they
are found. Superintendent Bull has
made q general request to the police
Of the country that anyone suspect
ed of completely be detained and ex-
amined The police of Chicago, Cleve-
land, Detroit and other middle state
cities are cooperating with the local
officers in tracing out the movements
of the prisoner before the crime and
Superintendent Bull said yesterday
that they had practically accounted
for him for the six weeks that pre-
ceded his arrival here. Czolgosz ls
still kept secluded and the detectives
are the only ones who have access
to him, He is still strong and healthy
and eats with will. knowledge of
the condition of the president Is kept
from him. He knew on Friday night
that the president was sun o,,;5, Dut
has been given no information 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 nrraignment Of the
prisoner has been considered by Dis
trict Attorney Penney. ,
