swan Tries 10 Drown a Child.

/.
Minneapolis. Mimi. April 25.-At the
lake in Loring Park Tuesday morning,
Harry Carson, aged years. was near
iy drowned by an angry swan. The
child was teasing the swans with
stick. and striking them occasionally.
Not far away We're several bystanders.
Suddenly the largest swan ruffled his
feathers. and, mad with rage, made
dash and seized the child in its beak
The child struggled for an instant but
the bird. with swift and sure strokes,
dragged the child out into the water,
toward the center of the lake The lit
tie fellow was too much frightened to
make further cutlery, and for a mo-
ment the on-lookers We're paralyzcd.
Then one of the men Jumped into the
water to rescue the child. Twice the
little body was forced under the water
by the strong neck of the bird. and be-,
fore the rescuer had reached the swan
they We're twenty feet out from shore.
Even then the maddenedl bird strug-
gled with the man and great force was
necessary to make II release the child.

A New Method.
Czolgosz was the first of the three as
sassins of American Presidents to be exc
cuted by the modern method in use in
New York Wilkes Booth was shot down
by one Of the pursuing soldiers and Gui-
teau was hanged Time was when the
assassin Of ruler was dragged to pieces
by four horses attached to his four limbs
and driven in opposite directions. In some
of the oriental countries to this day the
most cruel and revolving fortunes are re-
served for those who even attempt the
life of a potentate or are suspected Of
completely in plots against him. Boiling
in oil, drawing and Quartering are among
the least terrible of these punishments
while the looping off of single members
from the living body until death relieves
the victim is a common punishment for
notable crimes.
In China criminals suspected of plots
against the Emperor or other high Off
Gals are placed in a bamboo cage and
kept constantly awake by their guards
until death from fatigue ensues. They
are prodded with sharp instruments on
the least sign Of sleep and their suffer
ings are impossible to describe after three
or four days of this torture. But Czol-
gosz, who would have met a fate as terri
BILE as any of these had he committed a
like crime in an oriental country, or even
in many European countries, met death
in the form declared to be most humane
and practically painless by medical men.
A current of electricity was shot through
his body, paralyzing the heart action in
stantly and causing death in fraction
of second. In the familiar phrase of
the street, ''he never knew what struck

LAW DESTROYS EVERY SHRED
CT THE ASSASSIN.
President Mckin!ey's Slayer Is Moth

swer 10 the Hiss of Anarchy.

Leon F. Czogosz, the murderer of Pres
ident Mckinley, was eiectrocuted at I
o'clock Tuesday morning in Auburn
prison. The sentence of the court was
that the execution Of Czolgosz should
take place during the week beginning
Oct. %, and Warden Mead selected Tues
day, the 10Th, as the day when the laws
mandate should he carried out.
On the morning of the execution no
one except the witnesses was allowed TO
enter the prison gate, and even the pos
session of an invitation was not sufficient
to admit the bearer unless he could be
identified. There had been twenty-slx
invitations issued and all were positively
non-transferable. The only newspaper
men admitted were the representatives of
the three press associations and the own
ers of the two Auburn newspapers.
They killed CZolgosz quickly, decorous
~ and without a hitch or accident in the
execution chamber of the New York State
prison. The assassin Went to his death
an anarchist and an intidel His mo-
ment of penitence had passed, and almost
his last word was 4 declaration that he
was not sorry for what he had done.
Six weeks after his crime the assassin
of the President died. Now not even his
body cumbers the earth. There are no
death masks; no grews0me exhibits.
Czolgosz's body has been consumed by
the chemicals that were poured upon it in
the grave. Six barrels of Quicklime and
a carboy of suphuric acid transformed
the deep pit in the prison plot into a
caldron Of liquid fire that seethed and
dubbed to the very feet of the convicts
who were shoyeling back the earth into
the assassin's grave.
The doctors say the autopsy demon
strated that the wretch who struck down

a creature sound in body and brain.

The execution was carried through with
the precision of clock work. 1t was not
four minutes after the door between the
chamber of the condemned and the death
room opened to let Czolgosz through that
the prison physician, with his ear to the
murderer's breast, announced that his
life was done.
The whole matter the preparation, the
execution and the disposal of the body
was accomplished as we'll as such thing
could be done. There was the minimum
of disturbance all through it, and half an
hour after the assassin was killed the
thousands of convicts in the big prison
were quietly at work. There was no
crowd outside the penitentiary gate, and
the routine Of the institution was going on
as quietly and mechanically as ever.
Monday night at o'clock, after the
death warrant had been read, an extra
guard was placed in the cell with CZol-
gosz That portion of the prison in
which four other condemned men are kept
had been partitioned off from Czolgosz's
cell by an iron screen. The extra guards
on duty at the prison gates were contin-
ned until after the execution. The guards
were doubled merely as precautionary
measure and not because there was any
reason to believe the extra men would be
needed.
Waldeck Czolgosz, his brother, and
Thomas Badowski, brother-in-law, from
Cleveland, called upon the prisoner Sun
day. To their entreaties Czolgosz replied

an inner room moved the fatal switch
which sent LOO volts of the mysterious
current through his body.
The execution itself, all Of the details
being attended to. was exceedingly sim
pie. Upon being taken to Auburn from
Buffalo Czolgosz was confined in the es-
pecially constructed death cell under the
constant eye of the death watch. Not
one moment was he free from that awful
surveillance. When the hour for the eX-
ecution came Czolgosz was led by the

guards into the death chamber. Near tho
wall at one end of the room was an oak
chair, constructed something after the
manner of an easy chair, with broad
wooden arms. 1t rested upon rubber
mating, which insulated it completely.
Attached to the back of the chair was
an adjustable board, against which Czol-
gosz rested his back, and this board was
equipped with sliding rod to which was

attached the death mask" a strap to
be fastened around the head at the fore
head. On the inner side Of this strap
were two small sponges, which pressed
upon the temples and which were con-
nected by wires with the rod in the back
of the chair. This rod carried the cleo
tricity, conducted to it by heavy wires
from the wall. There were straps fast
ened to the back of the chair to pass
around the upper arms of the condemned
man and hold the arms securely against
the chair other straps on the arms of the
chair itself binding the forearms down
and preventing the least struggle. Anoth-
er stout strap on belt attached to the back
of the chair passed across the abdomen
of the prisoner and bound him securely
to the seat His ankles were also strap
ped to the foot rest at the bottom of the
chair
When all was in readiness a small
eIectrode fitted with moist sponges like
those pressing against the forehead was
placed against the bare calf of the left
leg. When the electrodes were fast
ened into place the body of Czolgosz
formed part of a circuit from the wires
at his head to those at his legs, and any
current entering the upper wires must
pass from the electrodes at his forehead
through his body to the electrode attach
ed to his leg and thus back to the dyna-
no. AS soon as the electrodes were adj
iusted one of the officials selected for the
purpose by the officer legally charged
with the execution pulled down a handle
on an electric switch, which completed
the circuit, and in a fftieth of a second
about ZOO volts of the deadly electricity
shot through the body of the murderer
and passed Gu through the wires. In
that fraction of time it was all over. Leon
E. Czolgosz, the slayer of President Nc
Kinley, and as cowardly an assassin as
the world ever knew, was dead as GER
! tainly as though the knife Of a guillotine
had descended upon his neck. In order
to make assurance doubly sure, the dead
" current was passed through CZolgosz's
body three times. The first time it was
held on him for fifteen seconds and then
in a moment it was again passed through
him and again for a third time. Follow
| ing that the body was q&en to the prison
morgue, where an autopsy was perform
| ed by DIR, Carlos +. Macdonald of New
York and DR.. John Germ, the prison ply

Last Message from Father.

Leon Czolgosz was sent from Cleveland
