President McKinley's murderer, in til
custody of Sheriff Caldwell of Fri

prison is only about fifty yards fror

people. Either for fear of the crow6
which was not very demonstrative, O
from the sight of the prison, Czolgosz
legs gave out and two deputies wer
compelled practically to carry the maj

principal keepers office. During the
operation of changing, Czolgosz crieG

Czolgosz this afternoon seemed fully

THE START FROM BUFFALO.
Buffalo, Sept. 27.-Before sentence
was passed yesterday afternoon, the
assassin evinced desire to speak, but
could not get his voice above a whis-
court by his counsel.
There was no one else but me-" the
prisoner said, in a whisper. "No one
else told me to do it, and no one paid
me to do it, I was not told anything
about crime, and never thought any
thing about it until couple of days
before the crime was committed"
Czolgosz sat down. He was calm, but
it was evident his mind was flooded
with thoughts of his own distress. His
cheeks were a trifie pale and his out
stretched hand trembled as the guards
put the handouts on his wrists. He
looked at one of the officers and there
was an expression of the profoundest
fear and helplessness in his eyes, He
glanced about at the people who crow
ded the room in an effort to get a look
at him. The prisoners eyelids rose and
fell tremulously and then he fixed his
gaze upon the floor in front of him. At
this point Judge Titus came over to
the prisoner and bade him goodbye.
Czolgosz replied very family, letting
his eyes rest upon the man who has
been his counsel Goodbye" he said,
weakly.
Czolgosz was then hurried down the
stairs and through the tunnel of
sobs" to the Jail from where he was
taken to the Auburn state prison to
await death by electrocution. Sheriff
Caldwell and sixteen men took the
prisoner in a special car attached to
the regular New York Central train.
The train left at 1906 last night. Czol-
gosz was "sneaked'' out the back en-
trance of the Erie county Jail, sur
rounded by seventeen men and hustled
into special car, which had been
backed down on the Terrace tracks
few rods in the rear of the Jail a min
ute or so before. Sheriff Caldwell ar
ranged for the departure and his moves
were kept so secret and were so clever
ly managed that no one but the guards
knew of the assassin being smuggled
out of the Jail.
The moment the car arrived Czol.
gosz appeared, handcuffed to Jailer
Mitchell and surrounded by the sheriff
and his deputies and Chief McMaster
of the Auburn police department. The
news that the car containing the as
sassin was on the track spread rapid
ly. Just before the train pulled out
representative of the Associated Press
saw Czolgosz seated in the car, and
smoking cigar in the seat with the
prisoner was Jailer Mitchell, and sur
rounding him were several armed Off
GERS. These precautions were taken
because the authorities received word
from an official source that the sheriff
might encounter considerable difficulty
in getting the prisoner to Auburn. Just
what sort of trouble was feared can
not be learned. but great care was ta-
ken that no advance news Of the de-
parture Of the train was telegraphed
