Webster, Oct. 29.-Rev. FIR. Fudzinski,
perfect of the order of st. Joseph, the
priest who was called to see Leon F.
Czolgosz the murderer of President Nc
Kinley in his cell at the Auburn N. Y,
state prison, returned to his home after
a visit with Rev. Stanislas Czelusniak,
pastor of the st. Joseph's Church, yester-
day afternoon. With the exception of the
local priest, the Webster correspondent
of The Spy, and a few others closely
identified with the church, no one knew
in town that the now famous clergyman
was here.
Father Fudzinski stated that he did all
In his power to induce the murderer to
re-embrace Roman Catholicism, but that
ne was unable to do so. He was of the
opinion that Czolgosz was Indifferent to
his fate and that even on the death chair
he did not think he would renounce An
archy.
His appearance" said FIR. Fudzinski,
was that of a man who had suffered I'M
told mental agony, but when in the pres
ence of visitors a few minutes all these
traces disappeared and he presented
sullen and stolid attitude"
Father Fudzinski was asked if he would
have liked to witness the execution. He
replied he would not have cared to do so
unless his position would in any way
have helped lessen the torture of the
victim.
Had people in town known whom they
had for a visitor he would have been
probably besieged for interviews.
