BUFFALO, N. Y, Sept 9-Czolgosz,
the assailant of President Mckinley,
went through another long examination
today at the hands of the police officials,
but emerged from it without having add
ed anything material to their knowledge
of the case. The chief effort of the de-
tectives was to draw from the prisoner
some admission as to his accomplices,
but he persistently stuck to his denial
that he was assisted in any way in the
commission of his crime. Every possible
device was resOrted to in the effort to
obtain the information but the prisoner
maintained his position and could not
be shaken. In answer to questions he
again went over the events of Friday
and told substantially the same story as
in the original confession made to Supt.
Bull and District Attorney Penney.
Czolgosz carefully weighed his answers
and when conclusions that he did not ap-
prove were taken from his statements,
insisted upon making explanations of his
exact meaning. The police have about
concluded that more effective work on
the plot theory can be done on the out
side, although CzoIgosz probably will
have another experience with the third
degree of police craft tomorrow. The
general investigation of the case
progresses slowly because the men on
it must cover a large amount of pre-
liminary ground before they do effective
work
POLICE NOT WELL POSTED.
According to the local authorities the
police of the country know very little
about the anarchists. They say that the
secret service men do not show any spe-
cial familiarity with them and that there
does not seem to be a single police de-
partment in the country that has more
than a general knowledge of them.
Members of the Buffalo force admit that
they have never given American an
archists serious consideration and that
they did not know there were any here.
Since the president was shot they have
found that there are at least twenty
avowed anarchists in the city. Here, as
elsewhere, it has been necessary for the
detectives to first satisfy themselves as
to the identity of a lot of men whom
they never had occasion to watch before.
No other arrests have been made in con-
nection with the case and the local police
say they do not anticipate any for the
present.
1t is believed that both Emma Gold
man and julius Schwab will be detained
by the police whenever they are found
Supt. Bull has made general request
to the police of the country that any
one suspected of completely be detained
and examined The police of Chicago,
Cleveland, Detroit and other Middle state
cities are cooperating with the local Of
fcers in tracing out the movements of
the prisoner before the crime, and Supt.
Bull said today that they had practical
ly accounted for him for the six weeks
that preceded his arrival here. Czolgosz
Is still kept secluded and the detectives
are the only ones who have access to
him. He is still strong and healthy and
eats with a will Knowledge of the con-
dition of the president is kept from him.
He knew on Friday night that the presi-
dent was still alive, but has been given no
information since then.
Not once since his confinement, eitN;F
in talking with his guards or when up
for examination. has he asked as to the
fate of his victim. No plan for the ar
raignment Of the prisoner has been GGn-
sidered by District Attorney Penney
When seen tonight that official said:
We still invest eating the case
and until the inquiry by the police is con-
cluded and something definite as to the
result of the presidents wounds is known
nothing will be done about the prosecu-
ton of the prisoner All discussion of
the subject is premature. 1 have not yet
even taken the matter up for conSidera-
ton"
MANY PIPE STORIES.
Many sensational reports are being cir
culated about cabinet action looking to
the apprehens on and prosecution of
e. Emma Goldman and leaders of anarchist
organizations of mysterious directions
from the secretary of war to the chief of
police here and of developments Of a
startling nature that are anticipated. The
great majority of these reports in the
words of a cabinet officer are manu-
factured out of whole CLOTH
On the question of the prosecution of
Czolgosz the cabinet are unanimously
of the opinion that it is purely local
affair. There is no government statute
covering the offense of an assault upon
the president of the United States, and
in the eye of the law the crime of last
~
p1itted against a private citizen in viola
ton of the laws of the state of New
York and of Erie county. The federal
government can have no hand in the
punishment of the offender. His trial
will take place in the local courts
The only communication Secretary Root
has made to the chief of police and the
local authorities here was one designed
to prevent the would-be assassin being
exploited as a hero. Mr.. Roots view in
this respect was shared by other mem
bers of the cabinet, and the local au-
thorities have done everything in their
power to comply with It. They have de-
clined to allow reporters to have access
to the prisoner or even to see him. or
course. if Czolgosz had accomplices they
Will be ferreted out, and all the aid which
Rhe government can furnish will be en-
ployed, but it can be stated upon the
authority of q cabinet officer that no
general proceedings against anarchists
are contemplated.
No specific order for the arrest or de-
tention of Emma Goldman has been sent
out by Supt. Bull but it is possible she
will be arrested on the general request
that the police throughout the country
locate and examine any person who NAV
be suspected of completely in the crime.
The police have been unable to verify
the report that Emma Goldman was in
1hls city one week ago today, but they
are endeavoring to trace her movements
