 prisoner upon arraignment even if ht
 decided not to accept the assignment o1
 the court
 Absolutely no demonstration having
 been made against the prisoner yester-
 day, the authorities decided that the
 strong guard was unnecessary to-day Czolgosz was taken from the jail through the tunnel under Delaware
 avenue to the city hall by Detectives Solomon and Geary, being handcuffed
 to the latter,
 Going from the basement to the city ] hall to the court room on the second floor, Czolgosz was compelled to pass
 close to the black and white bunting | which the interior of the city hall was | draped. These apparently made not l the slightest impression on the prisoner and he gave no more heed to them or the large portraits of the president
 than he did to the questions of the
 court or the district attorney. The prisoner entered the court room just as the city hall clock was striking 3 o'clock. A murmur ran through the
 audience but order was soon restored.
 As soon as the handcuffs were removed
 from the prisoner District Attorney Penney began the formal arraignment and asked: How do you plead, guilty or not guilty?"
 Not a sound was uttered by the pris- oner. He stood mute. His curly hair was disheveled and although his linen was white and clean, his disordered clothes and the growth of beard gave him an unkempt appearance. AL though his demeanor was still one of stubbornness he gave a little more evil dence of concern than on his first pres ence in court. When questions were being asked of him rapidly he moist ened his lips win his tongue and seemed to be endeavoring to maintain the ap- pearance of stolid indifference.
 When the prisoner refused to plead, the district attorney asked him if he understood what had been read and receiving no answer, told him he had been indicted for murder In the first de- gree and that he could answer Yes" or NO" For an instant Czolgosz glanced at MT Penney and it was thought that he intended to speak, but he did not.
 Judge Lewis then addressed the court at length saying that he had called up- on the defendant but had been unable to ascertain any wish on the defend- ants part as to the employment of He said that his associate, Judge Titus, was in Milwaukee, but that he had appeared informally to en- ter plea of not guilty on behalf of the as the law required.
 Counsel reserved the permission to re- |! serve the right to withdraw the plea | and enter special plea or interpose a | demurrer Counsel expressed regret | hat his name had been mentioned in | connection with this trial as he had l been out of practice for some consider ,ble time and had strong repugnance Q appearing.
 District Attorney Penney gave no-
 ice that he would move to have the ndict ment transferred to the supreme ,ourt for trial and would also ask hat the trial be set for next Monday morning. "I know of no reason why he defendant should not be ready lext Monday" replied Judge Lewis.
 Judge Lewis said that he might also ike an order of the court for alienists o examine the prisoner as the district ttorney had informed him that emil ent alienists had examined the pris- ner on behalf of the people. This gave ies to the belief that special plea of insanity make be entered by the coun- el for the defense. Remove the pris- ner," said Judge Emery and Czolgnsz Ias taken back to jail by the under round route.
