Czolgosz was sleeping soundly. Beside the two regular men on the death watch in the corridor, an additional guard sat in Czolgosz's cell tonight.

 To Prevent Sensationalism.
 The resolution of Superintendent Col hns to prevent sensationalism in the transportation and burial or cremation of the body of Czolgosz took new zest from two offers that were submitted today by men of questionable enterprise. A museum keeper in one of the larger Eastern cities telegraphed him an offer of 5000 spot cash for either the body or the garments of the murderer. and the owner of a kinetoscope wired Warden Mead that he would pay S2,o00 for permis- sion to take moving picture of Czolgosz entering the death chamber. The super ingtendent also had his suspicious aroused as to the motives of some of the relatives of Czolgosz in seeking the body in view of their poverty and the trouble and danger possible in connection with its re- moval and disposal.
 The superintendent chanced to meet waldeck Czolgosz. brother of the mur- derer. as he was being escorted to the death cell shortly after his arrival, and at once took the matter up with him. He asked Czolgosz If he wanted the body. He said he did. Collins then told him that he did not believe it could be re- moved without serious trouble and strongly advised him against the attempt.
  Czolgosz. assassinated the President, he regarded as particularly dangerous. Col iins discussed the matter from the stand. point of the Czolgosz family and saio they would surely avoid serious annoy ance and possibly violence by consentinl to burial here.
 Would Refuse to Give Up Body. He assured waldeck Czolgosz that he and the family could attend that they would be protected and that the body would be given decent burial. Czolgosz was obdurate, however, and Collins finally told him that, if there was a well ground ed suspicion as to the motive in claiming the body, he would refuse to surrender 1t, law or no law. Czolgosz then seemed inclined to give in and went with the superintendent to the office Of Warden Mead where a paper relinquismng all claim upon the body was drawn. While 1t was being prepared Collins called up the chief of police of Cleveland and asked him to discuss the matter with Csolgosz, Sr. Collins asked that the situation be fairly stated to the father and that if he agreed, telegram Of rehnouishment DC signed by him at once.
 The Cleveland police expressed the hope that the body would never be sent to that city.
 When the superintendent submitted the instrument relinquishing all claim to the body of Czolgosz he refused to sign It until he had an opportunity to advise with WaIdeck Thomas Bandowski, his brother-in-law, who was the leader In the plan to secure the body. He promised a final answer at o'clock when he was to call with Bandowsh for final visit to the condemned man. Collins agreed to send for him. but would not let the brother leave the prison. Finally, he was | at 6 o'clock, informed that the people al | the Buffalo crematory would not accep the body and Superintendent Collins a | once pointed out to him that he would have the body on his hands. At a few minutes past 6 he agreed to sign anC | 1t was at once decided to bury the body | in the prison.
 The agreement prohibits any portion o the body being removed from the prisor and this will be strictly enforced The Prisoner is Nervous Czolgosz suffered a slight nervous at- tack late this afternoon. but the prison officials did net regard 1t in the light of break down and adhered to the bellef that he will go unfalteringly to the chair and death
 pr. Carlos F. Macdonald and Prison Physician Gerin visited the cell at o'clock. They found the prisoner suffer-
  fested itself in dilated eyes and free flow ing precipitation. When they finished the examination, the prisoner turned sullenly from them and retired into the corner of his cell, refusing to talk. They gave him no treatment and were of the opinion that while he was very nervous, he did not show signs of absolute collapse CZoi- gosz had just concluded lengthy inter view with Fathers Fudzinski and Hickey. considerable traffic In the corridor leading to the death chamber and the prison officials were inclined to ascribe the disturbance of the prisoner to these circumstances.
 Aside from the break at nightfaH, CZol- gosZ spent his last day of life much as he did all the others since he passed into | the hands of the law
 The approach of death seemed to awak- en no greater consciousness of his posi- tion. He again turned his back upon the priests who came to urge him to confess and repent. and was undemonstrative in the presence of those of hi5 kin. who came to say a last farewell to him.
 When alone with his guards he remain ed silent and passed the time either lying on his bunk or in slowly pacing up and down the cell. He talked. when address, ed. to those admitted near his cell, but with his old deliberation and slowness. If he knew strong emotions at any time, he was successful in conc aling 1t from those who watched over him.
 The prison guards cpmbatted the sug- gestion that hls stoldity was daZe of fear and that the hour of expectation would find him helplessly broken down.
 No Loss of Appetite
 The prisoner suffered no loss of appe- tite. and during the day ate the usual
