Auburn, n. ". Oct. 31.-CzolgOsz is
with Booth and Guiteau. wherever
they are.
His body has been consumed by acid
in q grave in the cemetery attached to
Auburn prison-a grave that will never
be marked in any way to identify it
from the two or three hundred other
felon graves in that yard: a grave that
will be forgotten. That which was
called Leon f. Czolgosz was extermin-
ated yesterday morning by electricity
at the service of the law and nothing to
remember the creature for except the
unforgettable significance of that vault
in Canton.
The being whose body filled the new
ly-made nameless prison grave. but
which has ere this been completely
consumed, died as he had lived-an an
archist. He knew if he went to his
end with truculent words on his lips
that in dives where anarchists gather,
Remember Czolgosz" would be the
watchword. and as he sat in the chair
yesterday morning he painted: II shot
the president, and I did it because I
thought it would benefit the poor peo-
pie and for the name of the working
people of all nations. I am not sorry
for my crime that is all I have to
say The
Poor Fool Died
in the flush of vanity and it filled with
anger the hearts of all who heard him.
1t was Czolgosz's message to anarchy
before he passed out of life unshriven,
for he would have no priest, to leave
his corpse to be buried in unhallowed
ground. Czolgosz might have evoked
pity as deluded and foolish, but he
succeeded at last in precluding any
such emotion and aroused instead
revengefu1 spirit toward his kind.
Strangely enough the physicians who
performed the autopsy found that ap-
parently Czolgosz did not have dis
eased brain. nor diseased body. to
account for his distorted intellect.
Specifically, at least, the brain had
all the appearance Of health.
The following summary of the result
Of the autopsy was issued by those who
performed and conducted it:
THE autopsy was made by Mr.. Ed
ward A. Sptzka of New York under
the immediate supervision and direc-
ton of DR.. Carlos r. Macdonald of
New York and DR.. John Germ. prison
physician. The autopsy occupied over
three hours and embrace a careful ex-
animation Of all the bodily organs. in
Guiding the brain. All of the phys
icians who attended the execution were
present
At the Autopsy
and all concurred in the findings of the
examiners"
Doctors Macdonald and Germ and
Mr.. Spitzka signed their names to this
document, which made it appear that
degeneracy is not general condition
to an espousal Of anarchistic tenets.
There may be another lesson for
Americans in this.
Czolgosz died probably in little over
Two minutes after he reached the death
room. An hour and half later, when
it had grown cold, the body was placed
On an operating table brought in for
the purpose and the autopsy was per-
formed. The detailed report on that
autopsy, so far as it related ITO the
brain. was inpossibly technical. Only
one conclusion was ineligible to the
lay mind This was: THE brain in
general is well developed. sufficiently
marked with assures and the lobes are
in normal proportion"
Mr.. Spitzka took several drawings OF
the brain for future study. The only
thing that was left to do in the pass
ing of Czolgosz was to bury his re-
mains. The burial took place in the
afternoon. The body was placed in a
coffin case and loaded into a wagon,
which carried it by a roundabout way
To the Prison Cemetery.
Another wagon going by another route
had brought quicklime and acid to the
graveyard. The precautions taken had
been successful in avoiding a crowd,
and only a few persons saw the OBJ
jectionable scene which followed when
The coffin case was opened, lowered into
The grave and quicklime and acids
dumped in. Earth was shoveled on
quickly and the grave filled up. 1t will
be hard place to find by and by. It
was estimated that the acid and quick
line would completely destroy the body
in twelve hours, but the grave will be
carefully guarded for two or three
days.
Czolgosz's brother and brother-in-
law went to the prison in the after
noon, while the burial was going on.
They wanted to have q last look at the
corpse. The sight was spared them.
It was later learned that one Of their
objects in staying here had been to get
certificate Of the assassin's death to
aid them in an effort to collect some
insurance from a fraternai organiza-
ton to which the assassin had be-
longed.
