AT EXECUTION

Albany, n. Y, Oct. 15.-Superin-
tendent Collins will send request to
Secretary Hay to designate that an of
ment be present at the electrocution
of Czolgosz. Only 26 witnesses will
be present in the chamber of death
when the sentence is executed. War
den Mead of the Auburn prison has
sent Collins 1000 requests he has re-
ceiVed for attendance at the electro
cution. The law limits the number of
witnesses and the superintendent can
decide who they shall be. Superin-
tendent Collins had talk with the
condemned man some days ago and
at that time he said he knew he had
to die. He expressed no fear Of cleo
| trOcutiOn, but said he would not care
to go outside of the prison, for he be-
| lieved the people would kill him. Since
confinement in the Auburn prison sew
! eral thousand letters have been re-
ceived for him as well as a large num-
| Der of express packages containing
| flowers and fruit. Letters, flowers
nor fruit have never reached the CON
demned man. Flowers and fruit have
been sent by Christian societies, as
have a number of letter cOnsoling him
in his last moments Other letters
have come from cranks who have writ
ten about the kinds of torture to
which they would put him if they had
the execution of justice in his case
1t is stated it would be matter OF
surprise if the names Of the senders
of fruit and flowers were made public
