GZOLGOsZ SEES A PRIEST
Has a Conference With One of His
Own Nationality

Auburn, New York, October 22.-Leon
F. Czolgosz, the assassin of President
Mckinley, who is awaiting electrocu-
ton in the prison here, during the week
commencing next Monday, fully real
izing that his death is now a question
of a few days, a asked for spiritual
consolation and this afternoon received
a visit from Rev. T. Szadinski, a Polish
priest Of the Roman Catholic church.
CzolgosZ's request for a priest of his
own nationality was made known to
Warden Meade in the morning. Father
SzadinSkf. who is pastor Of st. Stanis-
laus church, Rochester, was in this city
attending the forty hours devotion of
ST. Alphonsus church and was asked TO
visit the prison. This afternoon he
went to the prison and remained here
about an hour.
The interview between priest and
prisoner proved very unsatisfactory to
both. 1t took place in the condemned
mans cell and the conversation was
carried on in Polish. During the inter,
view CzolgosZ said that he had been
baptised in the Roman Catholic faith
in the Polish church in Detroit. He
had abandoned h church early in life
and had lost all faith in its teachings.

his belief in anarchy and return to the
faith Of his early years. CZolgosZ de-
clared his inability to do so, and he was
informed that unless he could, the con
ISOLATION of the church would be denied
him. The priest urged the condemned
man to consider the matter carefully
and told him hat if at any time he de-
cided to re-embrace the faith he would
return from his home in Rochester AND
St1V with him until the end.
Father Szadinski. before taking his
departure, left with Czolgosz some
Catholic literature printed in Polish
and also some emblems of the church
CZolgosz assured Father SZadinski i
he determined to accept the offices OF
religion he would send for him, but h
did not hold out much hope that M
would nou the doctrines of an
arChy.
Warden Meade and Superintendent
Collins at their conference in Albany
yesterday arranged all the details anc
