Erie County Bar Raises Every Pos
sibIe Technically.
Buffalo, Sept. 21.-Leon f. Czolgosz.
whose trial for the assassination Of
president Mckinley will begin next Mon
day, was examined as to bis sanity for
an hour this afternoon by DR.. Carter +.
Mcdonald of New York, the eminent
physician, who was for years chairman
OF the state board of the lunacy com
mission. The prisoners counsel, Judges
Lewis and Titus, were present at differ
ent times during the examination. At
its close DR.. Mcdonald declined to dis
cusS the case and the attorneys would
not express their opinion as to the
assassln's mental condition, although
the inference drawn from their answers
was that they believed Czolgosz to be in
sane. Mr.. Mcdonald was brought to
Buffalo through the efforts of Professor
Moot and others Of the bar association
for the purpose of passing on the
assassin g mind, az the association has
promised to assist Judges Lewis and
Titus, who were suggested as counsel for
the defense by the trustees OF the bar
association.
The examination was held in the pri-
vate office OF District Attorney Penny in
the city and county Jail, preparations
Tor 1t beng kept secret. Judges Lewis
and Titus appeared at the city hall a
few minutes past 3 O'Clock and went at
once into the district attorneys private
office. At 1926 CzOlgOsz was brought
into the office handcuffed to Assistant
superintendent Cusack of the police de-
partment. He had been taken through
the tunnel under Delaware avenue. The
prisoner was left alone with Judges
Lewis and Titus.

With the prisoner The prisoner sat at
the end Of the district ATTORNEYS desk
and DIR. Mcdonald sat in a chair directly
in front OF him, stopping down and
peering into CZOlgOsz's face. They re-
mained alone for exactly half an hour,
when the prisoners attorneys again
filed out of the room.
When questioned as to whether or
not the prisoner would talk to his cOun-
sci, as he had refused when Judge Lewis
visited him on Tuesday before the ar
ralgnment to say word, the venerable
judge said:
"He is talking more freely, but he is
not a vOlnble chap. He said nothing
upon which we might work in basing a
defense"
At 4:35 O'Clock CzoIgosz was taken
back to the jail via the tunnel, hand
cuffed to Detective Solomon.

follows: You want to keep quiet and
keep your detectives away from here or
