BUFFALO. Sept S-Wilh the single eX-
ception of Mrs. Mckinley probably the
only person in Buffalo tonight who does
not know approximately the Presidents
condition is the coward who shot him
down. Now that he has become fully as
sured that his precious carcass IS safe
from the mob. Czolgosz has become quite
lively down in his dungeon, and is be
ginning to enjoy himself as a hero and
martyr.
He underwent 4 medical examination
today as to his sanity and the result was
that he conveyed the impression that he
not only was in possession of his wits,
but that he is brighter than WAS at first
supposed. The result of his work is un-
known TO him and the probability is that
he Thinks the President is dead.
He thought so on Friday night at all
events His constant phrase then was
the reason | killed the President was.
and so forth. He always said killed
when he referred to what he had done.
Not a word to the contrary has been con-
Veyed to him. He hears absolutely moth
ing from the outside world lie sees no
body bat the two guards. who constantly
watch him to prevent his completing his
mari yrdom by killing himself, such ply
sicians as have examined him, the dis
trict attorney. chief of police, and such
detsrtives and Government Secret Service
meil, as take turns in making him talk.
What they have succeeded in getting
out OF him thus far is not very much. He

he had no accompiices, just as have done
all the other Anarchist murderers when
they were cross examined 1t was the
teachings of Emma Goldman, he says
which Immediately inspired him TO the
deed. The police believe less and less of
this story, the more they question Czol-
gosz. They are convinced that the at
tempt to murder the Pre- siGent was the
result of d maturely Matched Anarchist
plot as was the assassination of King
Humbert of Italy. Just what evidence
along these lines they have collected is
kept very closely within their own cir
cies.
That they have got much that is con-
vincing is not doubted; much, that is, in
addition to the broad general fact that
the whole affair has all the ear marks
of typical anarchistic murder conspir-
acy. In all their question OF Czoigosz
now, they are careful to refrain from
anything like browbeating or bullying
him. They have found that under that
treatment he merely becomes sulien.
On the other hand, when they begin
line of enquiry that appeals to his imagi-
nation, or above all, that stirs the vanity
and conciet which are his chief charac-
teristics, he responds readily He is still
cunning enough. however. to keep gem
orally within the bounds which evidently
he worked out for himself as a part of
his plans.
So far as his treatment in prison is con-
cerned, it has been ordered that he he
not annoyed or harassed in any way and
that he be made comparatively comforta-
bic. He is even permitted to smoke. and.
N fact, smoked three cigars today. There
Is deliberate purpose in this. II is not
the intention that when he is arraigned
he shall have hunted, bounded look to
give color 10 any plea of insanity that he
may set uD.
He has made no effort TO try the in
sanity dodge so FAR. Whether he would
continue in that course if he were under
the advice of a lawyer is a matter of
speculation.
At all events it is the intention of the
officers that his treatment while in pris-
on shall leave him in an entirely normal
condition 1t may be months yet before
ne is aTfdlSntO. tnat Is. OF course. IN the
event of President Mckinley 5 recovering.
There Will be no hurry even to bring a
charge against him unless the hands of
the prosecution are forced. He has said
nothing about having legal advice and as
yet no notoriety-seeking lawyer has been
heard from as volunteering to appear FOR
him
There is one point that in itself alone is
regarded by some of the detectives as a
significant straw and as bearing upon the
probability of Czolgosz having had ac-
completes and that is the way in which
he managed 70 carry his pistol under d
handkerchief in such a manner as well to
convey the impression of a bandaged
hand. This, the detectives say, the man
never could have done without many re-
hearsals, and those rehearsals in the pres
ence of somebody 10 criucise and direct
him
So far as the arrests made here are con-
cerned they are unimportant. Chief Bull
fully exOnerates the man Stutz, although
StutZ is still held under charge OF car
rying concealed weapons. StutZ got into
the tolls because he was in the boarding
house where the assassin went before the
crime. Concerning his case, Chief Bull
said:
I'VE are satisfied tnat stutz did not
even know Czolgosz and that ne had
nothing to do with the crime He arrived
here the day Czolgosz did and roomed
near him. -..
we rounded him up with several others
whom We believed might have been i'm
plicated. We found a pair of brass
knuckles on him, and as that an Of
fence, we held him for il. He was for
merly a lieutenant in the German army
and arrived in America by the steamship
Deutschland a few days ago..
The report printed today that members
of the Cabinet had discussed the advisa-
bility OF "A general roundup and arrest
of all tue anarchists in the country was
sufficiently improbable on its face, and
Senator Fairbanks today said that the
statement was untrue.
The public fury against Czolgosz seems
row to have died down entirely past the
Ganger point.
