men with tear-stained faces and the
doleful tolling of church bells broke
on the ear. At several places the
chimes played Cardinal Newman's
srand hymn
Taken altogether, the journey home
was the most remarkable demonstra-
ton of universal personal sorrow
since Lincoln was borne to the grave
and everyone had an opportunity to
catch a glimpse of the fag-covered
| bier elevated to view in the observa-
ton car at the rear of the train. There
! was no other bit of color to catch the
eye on this train of death. The loco
motive was shrouded in black and the
curtains Of the cars in which sat the
lonely stricken widow, relatives of the
president, cabinet ministers and
| others were drawn. The whole
| black train was like shattered house
save only for the hindmost car where
the body lay guarded by soldier and
a sailor. Mrs. Mckinley stood the
trip bravely. In the morning sooU
after leaving Buffalo she pleaded so
! earnestly to be allowed to go into the
car where her dead one lay that re-
luctant assent was given and she
ispent half an hour beside the coffin.
All the way the train was preceded
about 10 minutes by pilot engine
sent ahead to test the bridges and
switches and prevent the possibility of
accident to the precious burden it
carried. The train had the right of
way over everything. Not a wheel
moved on the Pennsylvania railroad
system thirty minutes before the pilot
engine was due, or for the same
length of time after the train had
passed.
The train left Buffalo at $50 a. m
and arrived at Washington at s: IS
last night. In II hours it is estimated
over half million people saw the
coffin which held all that remains NOR

look at me and answer"

CZolgosZ, look at me and answer"
District Attorney Penney fired these
at the prisoner, his voice rising with
each succeeding question, but Czolgosz
stubbornly refused to answer
Judge Emery asked the prisoner if
he had counsel but there was no an
swer, despite the fact that officers told
him the Judge was speaking and he
must answer. The court said: '|Czol-
gozs, you have appeared for arraign,
ment in court, without counsel. The
law makes it the duty of the court to
assign counsel. The bar association
! of our country has considered the
matter and suggested the names of
certain gentlemen Of high character
for the assignment. The court has
seriously considered the question and
after much consideration has conclud-
ed to follow the suggestion made by
the association, and therefore assigns
Hon. Lorain L. Lewis and Hon Rob
ert G. Titus as your counsel"
The prisoner was then ordered re
moved. He was handcuffed to the de-
tectives who started out of the court
room with him. The crowds surged
after them, but found the exit barred
by policemen. Outside of the court
room the prisoner was surrounded by
policemen and hurried down stairs
into the basement from whence he
was taken through the tunnel to the
jail across Delaware avenue. Whether
he was left there for the night or ia
ken elsewhere the police refused to
say. District Attorney Penney said
Justices Lewis and Titus would be
given an opportunity to talk with the
prisoner and he hoped to arraign
Czolgosz today.

Chicago Girl Goes to Manila as
Teacher, but Soon Weds.
Chicago, Sept. 15-From far away
Manila comes the story of a charming
little romance in which Chicago girl
who had lofty ambition to educate
known Bostonian who answered the
call to arms of his c. Intry, are the
leading characters.
Lasette Sedensticker is the name
Of the young woman and John Milton
Richardson is the happy young mans
name. Miss Seidensticker worked
diligently for a long time to fit her
self to take the examination for a
teacher in the Philippine islands,
Out of all who took the examination
from Chicago she was the only one
who was successful in gaining the
requisite number of points.
Arriving at Manila, she was sent
with others, bent on the same GRAND,
to the palace of Governor Taft Here
the romance began. At the palace
Uncle Sans uniform. AS the weary
and carewoTn traveller was about TO
mount the steps, she was assisted by
the young officer. Often after that
they met.
AS time went on they became more
and more attached to each other, and
finally the ones company became in
dispensable to the other. Then the
wedding bells in that far away cline
chimed out merry tune as the army
chaplain pronounced the words that
made them man and wife Nothing
was known of the affair in Chicago
until a few days ago, when a letter
came telling Of the whole affair There
was rejoicing in the brides home at
419 Forty-ffty street over the news,
but the groom is totally unknown to
the family.
Mr.. Richardson is the son of the
proprietor of the Hotel Vendome in
Boston. The young man is well
known and well liked. When the call
of President Mckinley came for
volunteers he was among the first to
respond. He served in Cuba, and is
now a member of the staff of Cover
nor Taft in the Philippines.
Since going to Manila Mrs. Richard
son has been given charge of all the
schools for girls in Cebu, and is doing
much work in the Americanizing Of
the natives. When Mr.. Richardson's
term of enlistment is up, about a year
from now, the young couple intend
returning to this country and will
take up their residence in Boston.

CHARGE Is MURDER
GRAND JURY lNDiCTS ASSASSIN
CZOLGOSZ
COURT APPOINTS COUNSEL
Prisoner Apparently Feigns Insanity
and Refuses to Answer Questions
Great Crowd Surges About Him
but no Violence Is Shown-Assas-
sin May be Arraigned at Once.

Buffalo, N. Y, Sept. 1.-THE county
court grand jury yesterday morning
Leon Czolgosz, charged with murder
in the first degree in killing President
Mckinley. District Attorney Penney
himself prosecuted the case. About
twenty witnesses assembled in the
district attorneys office and after eX-
aiming a few of them, Mr.. Penney
took Dr. Herman Mynter into the jury
room. He was the first witness sworn
and testified as to the preliminary eX.
animation and the causes leading to it.
At Ais yesterday, just exactly ten
days after the shooting, the grand
jury voted unanimously to indict
Czolgosz for the murder in the first
degree. The indictment was pre-
scented to Judge Emery in the county
court.
The prisoner was snackled to a de.
tective and another detective held his
other arm, Assistant Superintendent
Cusac marching in front and d num-
Der of patrolmen behind. When the
prisoner was taken before the bench
the crowd in the court room surged
about him, but were compelled to re-
sumo their seats. Apparently he
feigned insanity, not stupidity, and
his glance roamed about, but his eyes
were always downcast. Not once did
he look the county prosecutor or Judge
in the face.
Czolgosz, have you got a lawyer?
Do you wish a lawyer? You have been
indicted for murder in the first de-
gree, do you want a lawyer to defend?

slated by the second bullet which
| struck President Mckinley, is pro
fessor of obstetrics and gynecClogy in
the medical department of the Uni

in his profession. He is native of
Utica, N. Y, where he was born july
IL, 1916. Dr. Mann was graduated 1t
Yale university in the class of 1887,
with the degree of A. b. A post
graduate course at Yale earned for
him in 1870 the degree Of A. M. and
the year following Columbia conferred
the degree of NJ. D. upon him. Be

Buffalo, DR.. Mann is gynecolOgist and
consulting obstetrician TO the Buffalo
general hospital, consulting gynecolo-
gist to the Erie county hospital, the
German deaconess' hospital and the
German hospital. In 1895 he was
made president of the American
genealogical society, of which he IS
a fellow. He was president last year
of the Buffalo academy of medicine
DR.. Mann is also fellow of the New

gress Of obstetricians and gynecoio-

Mann has been signally successful.
Up to 1897 he had performed more
than 800 operations in that branch of
surgery and after the first 100 opera
lions, which were performed in pre-
days, the mortality was
only about per cent. In other
words, DR.. Mann lost only about one
out of every 20 patients. Since 1897
he mortality has probably been still
smaller. DIR. Mann has a son who has

temporary relief and had the dis
inguished patient undressed and
made as comfortable as possible be-
