at Albany having in view the laying
of a cable from the Pacific coast to Ha-
waii and the Philippine islands. The
company w41l be affiliated with the
Commercial Cable company, and all its
incorporators are officials of that cor
poration. The length of the cable will
be about s, 500 miles. The part first laid
will be from California to the Ha-
waiian islands, a distance of about q
200 miles. It is expected tnat this por-
ton will be laid and in operation with
in nine months. The time required for
the laying of the remainder Of the
cable from NE Hawaiian islands to the
Philippine islands will depend upon
how quickly the cable can be manu-
featured, but may be completed in two
years. According to the articles OF in
corporation the company's lines are to

The Girl of Today.

Little does the girl of the present
day realize how much better OF she Is
than the girl in the early part of the
nineteenth century. Then she had to
submit to social restrictions too nu-
merous to mention; she was treated
with scorn and contempt If she once
expressed any desire to work or do
ANYTHING for herself and attempts to
think out a subject for herself was
deemed almost a sign of ill-breeding
and lack of refinement. Her life was
spent in a narrow groove, and her
mind was not allowed to develop to
its full extent. Intercourse with the
other sex was carried on under the
rigid surveillance OF an austere and
elderly chaperon. Nowadays a woman
has almost perfect freedom in what
ever she cares to do. Chaperons are
getting rarer and rarer, and social in
timacy with men is allowed without
one thinking it means aught beyond
a pleasant and natural friendship

Leon F. CzolgosZ, the anarchist as
sassin of President Mckinley, Tues
day was found guilty of murder In
the first degree after one of the most
rapid yet dignifled trials in the history
of Jurisprudence. Despite the eminence
of the prisoners counsel it was appar-
ent Tuesday when the alienists decided
that CZolgosz was sane that no de-
fense was possible, and consequently
that any delay in the trial would De
vain. In a period of eight hours ana
twenty-siX minutes the assassin OF
President Mckinley had been found
guilty and Judge Truman c. White
had announced that he would pass SEN
tence on Thursday afternoon. Remark
able as the trial had been throughout
f0r it's dignity equally with its ab-
sence of delay, not the least engrosslng
feature Of che day was the address TO
the jury made by Loren l.. Lewis,
counsel for the prisoner. The vener-
able jurist explained the necessity or
defense for the prisoner even though
Free press., 1901-10-05

his guilt could scarce be questioned,
and made his address the occasion for
a criticism of lynch law, which, in all
probability, will go down in the an
mails of history as the most mastery
vindication of the jury system and con-
demnation of mob violence ever ut
tered.
Prisoner Knows Chicago Anarchists.
Superintendent of Police Bull was
asked:
Were you present at headquarters
when the prisoner was brought there
on the night of the murder?"
Yes"
Were any threats made against
him -
No"
Tell us what Czolgosz said"
He said he knew President McKin
ley. He knew that he was shooting
President Mckinley when he fired. The
reason he gave was that he believed
that he was doing his duty. He said
that on the day President Mckinley
spoke at the exposition grounds, the
day previous to the assassination, he
stood near the stand on the esplanade.
No favorable opportunity presented it
self
He followed the president to Mag
ara Falls and back to Buffalo again.
He got in line while the reception was
in progress, and when he reached the
president fired the fatal shots. Czol-
gosz told me in detail che plans he
alone had worked out so that there
would be no slip in his arrangements.
asked him why he killed the presf-
dent, and he replied that he did so be-
cause it was his duty
Did he say he was an anarchist"
Yes
Did he say any more on the sub
ject?" asked the district attorney
Yes. He said that he had made a
study of the beliefs of anarchists and
he was firm believer in their prin-
ciples. The prisoner also stated that
he had received much information on
the subject in the city of Cleveland.
He said that he knew a man in Chi
cago named Isaak. The Free Society
was the name of the organ mentioned
by the prisoner"
Said Rulers Should Die
did he ever say anything about his
motives in committing the murder? %
asked the district attorney.
Yes was the reply He said that
he went to the exposition grounds for
the express purpose of numbering Pres
ident Mckinley. He knew he was aim
ing at President Mckinley when the
fatal shots were fired. Czolgosz said
that all kings, emperors and presidents
should die"
Superintendent Bull was cross-exam-
ined by Lawyer Titus and said the
defendant had on his person some
memoranda and $151 in money. There
was also a piece of paper, orange-col-
ored, with an address upon it, a mem
orandum book and a letter of identifi-
cation card from the Order of The
Golden Eagle

eff when all the circumstances Of
the case are considered by you there
still exists in your minds a reasonable
doubt that the defendant is guilty you
cannot fnd this man guilty. The peo-
pie have submitted evidence tending to
show that this defendant committed
this crime; they have given evidence
tending to show that there was design
and premeditation, and, if in accord
ance with that generalization and de-
sign these shots were fired, then the
defendant is guilty of the crime of
murder in the first degree.
"Tou must consider all this evidence
that the people have submitted to you.
You must consider it fairly and with
out prejudice. You are the sole judges
of facts in this case"
When the trial was ended and the
verdict rendered, Judge Titus, at the
request of District Attorney Penney,
admitted that the defense had no sug-
gestion to make as to the time when
the final judgment should be pro-
nounced. Justice White then said that
as 1t was the custom to give the guilty
murderer two days between the find
ing of the verdict and the sentence, he
would adjourn court till 2 o'clock
Thursday, when judgment will be pro-
nounced.
The prisoner was then handcuffed to
his guards and led back through the
tunnel to jail.
Length of trial-Eight hours and
twenty-five minutes.
Number of witnesses the prose-
cution, seventeen; for the defense,
none.
Actual time of taking testimony
Four and one-quarter hours.
Time of the state in arguing for con-
viction-FourteeG minutes.
Time occupied by the Judge in
charging jury-Twelve minutes.
Time occupied by the jury in deliber-
ation-Thirty-f minutes.

Jury az Buffalo C0rE<'icf>S Him
of Murder in First
Degree.

Did you ask him if he was an an
archist?" Judge Titus asked.
Yes"
And he said he was?"
Yes
Bulls testimony, District Attorney
Penny announced that the case for the
prosecution was closed.
Lewis Gives Up Defense.
Then Mr.. Lewis arose slowly and,
addressing the court, said:
I'VE are embarrassed by the sudden
closing of the case of the prosecution.
We had not expected them to close so
abruptly. We have no witnesses to call
for the defense, but 1 ask the court
that my colleague and myself be al
lowed TO address the jury
Permission was granted by the court
and Judge Titus began his address at
2:45.
Gentlemen of the jury" he began,
"a calamity has fallen upon this ma
ton through the act of this man, but
the question is whether his act was
the act of an insane man. If an in
sane man it is not murder and he
should be acquitted of that charge He
would then, Of course, be transferred to
an asylum.
Much discussion has occurred in
our midst and has been called to my
attention as to the propriety OF any
defense being interpOsed in this case.
Many letters have been received by me
since L was assigned with my associate
to defend this man, questioning the
prepriety Of a defense being attempt
ed. You, gentlemen, know, perhaps,
how Judge Titus and myself came in
to this case. The position was not
sought by us, but we appear here in
performance of a duty which we
thought devolved upon us, notwith-
standing it was an exceedingly dis
agreeable one.
Gentlemen, when they become
members of the legal profession be-
come members of the court They are
| compelled,if assigned, to defend a Grim
inal, or rather the one who is charged
with crime. They are compelled to
respond and accept the duty unless
they can present some reasonable ex-
cuse, and if they refuse to perform
that duty they are guilty Of mis-
| demeanor and are liable to punishment
! by the court.
There are in our country individu
ais, not, hope, in very large numbers
but we know they are scattered al
over the country, who think in a case
like this or even in charges of much
less degree that 1t is entirely proper
that the case should be disposed of by
lynch or mob law. We can hardly
take up a paper without we learn thai
in some part of this free and inde
pendent country some man has beer
murdered on the suspicion or belle
that he was guilty of some crime. This

Emma Goldman Out.

Anarchy took its high priestess from
the prison to the nearthstone Tuesday
morning at Chicago. With smiles and
kind words for all Emma Goldman be-
came a free woman shortly after nine
o'clock. Prosecutor John Owens said
there had been an agreement with the
attorneys for the defense that both
sides would abide in the Goldman case
by the decision in the cases OF the
men who were released yesterday. He
therefore would state that he would
'interpose no objection to her release
Dismissed for want of prosecution,
said Justice Prindiville. Then the
woman with the stern blue eyes was
taken through the crowd, and few
moments later escorted to cab, which
was driven to the home Of the Isaaks.

His death has touched every heart

consider whether the man was re-
sponsible for the act he committed.
That question is one you are called to
decide"
Judge Lewis was crying when he
finished and the eyes Of many of those
in the courtroom were filed with tears
Judge Titus then arose and said that
Judge Lewis had so completely covered
the ground that it seemed entirely un-
necessary for him to reiterate it and
he would therefore rest.

Gentlemen of the jury, while 1 be-

it creates a danger to this court equal
to the belief, becoming so common,
that men who are charged with crime
