| Auburn N. Y. Oct. 2S.-Leon F. CzoIgosz will have paid tribute with his life to the law as the murderer of President Mckinley by I:15 o'clock to- | morrow morning, and unless he under goes great change of heart within the few hours of life left him. he will go to the electric chair unconfesed and unrepentant He suffered a slight nervous attack late in the day, but re- mained sullen and stoical.
 Up to the time the prison closed at 10 o'clock he refused to heed the words of the priests who came to urge his spiritual preparation for death, and declined either to re-embrace Cathol- Oesm or renounce anarchism- Hence, | unless there be a change of mind. there will be no religious ceremony at the end.
 Czolgosz showed no strength of loyc for kin nor did he turn to any of those higher considerations which ordinarily claim the thoughts of men occupying his position. He may have suffered untold torture. but outwardly he seemed sulIen and indifferent. The state will not surrender posses sion of the body. By sundown it will have been secretly inferred in the ground controlled by the officials of Auburn prison. Waldeck Czolsosz, the brother of the murderer, forseeing the endless difficulties and possibly angry demonstrations as the result of an attempt to give the body ordinary burial. has needed the advice of Sup erintendent of Prisons Collins and Warden Meade and formally relin- | quished all claim to the body. He merely stipulated that at the close of l the autopsy all the parts of the body shall be buried.
 All chances of an unfortunate sequel . to the execution either in displays of | popular contempt or in the exhibition . of ghastly relics will therefore be final | ly prevented. The plan of burning the clothing and papers of Czolgosz will be carried out immediately after the eX- ecution.
 The electrical machine is ready for
 the work Auburn prison is carefully guarded. The city is in it's normal calm, and there seems to be no cir. cumstances standing in the way of a successful and expeditions execution of
 the law.
 Czolgosz has held his last two inter views. the first with Superintendent Collins and the second with his brother | and brother-in-law. Both interviews
 were brief and the interviewers did | most of the talking until the question | Of religion was mentioned, when Czoigosz broke from his seeming leth- argy and violently denounced the church and clergy and made his rela- tives promise that there would be no service for him, living or dead. Prior to the late evening interviews 'zolgosz reluctantly received Fathers FudZinsid and Hickey. It was late in the afternoon after he had once refused to meet them. When they reached the prison Superintendent Collins conveyed a request for an interview to the pris- oner. CZolgosz sent back word that he uld not care to see them, but the priests asked to see him despite his refusal. collins consented and personally es-- eorted them to his cell. The priests re- Hained three quarters of an hour and earnestly pleaded with the prisoner to repent and pray for divine forgiven ness He rejected all their advances. When Waldeck asked Leon if he wished to see the priests. the assassin replied: No. damn them. I want none nt their reigion.'' Wal6eck and his orother-in-law asked permission to witness the execution. but were promptly refused. Czolgosz slept sounI- tonight. Three guards stood watch over the condemned man.
