iourt's and the District Attorneys questioning
He was brought into the City Hall from the Jail
through the underground passage the same as
yesterday There were more police officers than
citizens in the courtroom.
Before coming into court Judge Lewis went
10 the Jail TO have talk with Czolgosz as his
counsel but Il was of avail. The assassin
refused to utter word to the man who of all
sthers on earth was in a position to make some
sffort TO save mis- life. Sitting on the side OF
bis bed in the CELL he gazed vacanty at his
counsel or looked dreamiy up at narrow
window near the ceiling of the cell, dumb
ss il life had gone out of his miserable body.
fudge Lewis tried TO learn something OF his
wishes about the conduct of the case and asked
him If he wanted to plead not guilty to the in
sictnent but Czolgosz made no reply. After
1 quarter of an hour passed in the fruitless
attempt to get some expression from him. Judge
Lewis left the Jail, and the prisoner was shortly
after led into the courtroom. AS the detectives
were handcuffed TO him he talked quite freely
10 them about ordinary matters.
MURDERER SHOWS FEAR.
He had been lying on the bed much Of the
lime for the last twenty-four hours, with his
shoes and coat removed. and when the detec-
iives were ready TO take him from the jail his
thoes were not to be found. He talked about
that circumstance, and told the officers that he
thought they had slipped under the bed, and
said that he did not want to go into court in
mis- stocking feet. Detective Geary then urged
aim TO talk when he reached the court
room. You talk TO here said the
of1cer, "and why don't you brace up and be
man and answer questions when you before
the judge? You have only little while to
1--we. at the best. and why don't you show your
self re Dc a man and not cringing. dumb cur?'
TO this Czolgosz mede no reply. Only twice did
ne show any sign Of ordinary human sensibility.
AS the officers were about TO emerge with him
from the tunnel into the City Hall and he heard
the hum of mems voices in the building he
shuddered slightly and hung back 1t was the
Same when the handouts were put on him and
he turned TO face the crowd on leaving the
courtroom His dread of the crowd seemed to
be more than his nerves could stand.
DRAMATIC SCENE IN COURT.
In the courtroom the scene to-day was even
more dramatic than that of yesterday. Immedi-
ttely upon being brought in front of the judges
iesk the District Attorney addressed him. The
Tisoner's counsel sat at the table, hissnow white
hair and beard making a grim sort of contrast
With the youthful face of the prisoner standing
tust behind him. 1t was particularly striking
10 the people Of Buffalo. Judge Lewis was for
many years Supreme Court judge in this dis
trict and it was the first time any of the
Younger men had him in a courtroom
sccupying any place except upon the judges
bench where he had so frequently sat on oe-
tasions like this, when men charged with murder
we're brought in 10 plead before him.
When District Attorney Penney spoke TO Czol-
sosz every eye in the room fixed upon the
prisoner. but he peering through the upper pane
sf one of the great windows. seemed 10 see

plead?" demanded the District Attorney in a
stern voice. No answer. Mr.. Penney took two
steps forward and. speaking close to the pris-
pne's ear. almost shouted:
PARTIAL SIGN OF INTELLIGENCE.
"czogosz. do you understand what l have
read to you? Czolgosz. Czolgosz. do you hear

commanding that the assassin made a move
