Vlcts in the death house were not per-
 mitted to talk to him, and the guards 1 watched him in silence.
 The rule of silence as to the prisoner
 was broken that he might prepare him, self spiritually for death, and the
 priests were permitted to talk with him
 The rule was also broken in a final eff
 fort to secure a confession from the
 condemned man. Early in October Stu | perlntendent Collins had a long inter- i view with him. Night was chosen for l the inquiry, and at o'clock the super
 lntendent called upon Czolgosz. For the first few minutes Szolgosz sat in | sullen silence. Just as the superintan- dent was about to leave Colzgosz an sWered one of his queries From that time on he talked freely, but his utter ances threw no new light on the cause for his crime. The most important i statement he made was one in which he 1 denied that he had a handkerchief tied about his hand, or that the pistol was concealed in any other place than his coat pocket. The superintendent said: Now, Czolgosz, I want you to talk to me. I'm the only one that can do you any good, and if you tell me all, I may help you to get out of here" "I don't want to get out of here. They'd kill me outside,' was the reply.
 Who'd kill you?" Why, the people,"
 "You mean the men who told you to kill the president?" asked MT. Collins.
 "No, nobody told me to kill the presi dent. I mean the people,"
 "WhO p1Va vOJ tha Y1ODpV tO pet to Buffalo?"
 "No one A man in Chicago wanted to see me, and I went there from Cleve- land"
 Who was the man?" pursued the su- perintendent.
 T don't remember his name"
 Do you remember where he lived?"
 No. I don't know the names of the streets there"
 How did you get to Buffalo from Chicago? Did this man pay your fare?"
 No, sir. I had some money I earned at painting and carpenter work"
 Didn't this man in Chicago and some other people tell you to kill the presi- dent?" asked MT. Collins,
 No, they didn't. l thought it out myself"
 Did you first follow the president to San Francisco to kill him?''
 That's a lie,'' responded tie prisoner T did not. I didn't make up my mind till I'd been here a few days"
 You say you worked for your mon- ey? Your father says you never had any money, and that you wouldn't work"
 Hes no good He married a woman who made me cook my own food in the house after I had bought it."
 Superintendent Collins at intervals repeated the question as to who sent him to kill the president, but to each query he would respond, Nobody. I did it myself.
 You know Emma Goldman says you are an idiot, and no good, and that you begged a quarter of her?"
 II don't care what she says. She didn't tell me to do this"
 What did you kill the president for?'
 He wouldn't give me any work?''
 Did you ever ask him for work?"
 Yes; at Canton, once, and he turned me down."
 Did you ever ask anybody else for work ?"
 Yes: lots"
 "Why didn't you shoot the people who refused you?"
 "They weren't like MT. Mckinley. He | could have fixed me"
 "Who helped you tie up your hand in the handkerchief"
 T bod h o,,61 r1p pfafl on my hand Anybody that says so | ies. had the pistol in my coat pocket and when I got near the president I pulled it out and fred
 Why, they found the handkerchief i you had it wrapped in," said the super ntendent.
 That ain't so, sir he answered earn estly. q didn't have no handkerchief. just had the pistol in my pocket"
 You know that you are going to lie?' asked Mr Collins,
 "Yes, I suppose so. l expected it, he without emotion.
 MT. Collins closed the interview by saying, "If you want to tell me. any hing the guards will notify me-"
 Czolgosz made no reply, and was talk n back to his cell,
 In an interview with Superintendent Collins last night Czolgosz made an- ,ther explanation of his visit to Chi ago just before he went to Buffalo, ut later contradicted himself. He said hat when he reached Chicago a boy K whom he did not know approached him # the station and handed him a packet if money He said the money was Tor lse on the Buffalo trip, but that he lever knew who sent it to him, or the dentity of the lad who delivered it. He hen explained that most of the meet ngs of anarchists that he attended at Cleveland were held in saloons desig- ated by an anarchist newspaper Half n hour later, when the superintendent alled with the brother and brother-ln- nv of the prisoner, he brought the sub ect up again and said:
 How about that money you got at ( { What money?" asked the prisoner. < 'sWhy, the money you told me about ( ere earlier in the evening" { Did I tell you that? l have forgot" ( an if did.
