Among the hundreds of letters receiv-
ed for Czolgosz at the prison was one
mentioning a girl named Amy, of Chica-
go. Mr.. Collins, thinking to surprise him,
said
Your girl named Amy, of Chicago. is
coming TO see you"
The prisoner said, with stolid indiffer-
i ence, ana without the least tremor or
surprises: 81 don't know any such girl
1 don't want to see her
'Do you know where you are now?'
yes. in prison..
| 'sDo you know where the prison is?''
No., was the reply.
DO you know that you are going to
die?' asked Mr.. Collins.
Yes, suppose so. l expected it." And
he answered the question in the same
categorical way that he had answered
all the rest.
Mr.. Collins closed the interview by say
ing:
If you want to tell me anything the
guards will notify me-"
Czolgosz made no reply, and was taken
hack to his CELL
| AUBURN, N. Y, Oct. 2S-Leon &. Czol-
gosz will have paid tribute with his life
| to the law as the murderer of President
! William Mckinley by 7:l5 o'clock tomor-
4 row, and unless he undergoeS a great
change of heart and strength in the few
! hours of life left to him, he will go to
the electric chair unconfessed and unre-
pentant. He suffered a slight nervous
attack late today, but remained sullen
and stoical UP to the time the prison
! closed at 10 o'clock. He refused to heed
the words of the priests who came to
: urge spiritual preparation for death. and
/ declined to either re-embrace Roman
Catholicism or renounce anarchy. Hence
unless he changes his mind, there Will
be no religious ceremony at the end.

Body to BE Inferred.
Waldeek Czolgosz, brother of the muir
| derer, foreseeing endless difficulties and
! possibly angry demonstrations as the re
| suit of an attempt to give the body ordi-
nary burial, needed the advice of super
| intendent of State Prisons Collins and
| Warden Meade and formally relinquished
/ all claim to it.
He merely stipulated that at the close of
/ the autopsy all parts of the body should
| be buried. All chance of an unhappy and
| unfortunate sequel to the execution
either in displays of popular contempt
or the exhibition of CHASTITY relics is
! therefore finally prevented.
The plan of burning his clothes and

/ CzolgoSz held his last two interviews
tonight, the first with Supt. Collins and
! the second with his brother and brother
tn-law. Both of the interviews were brief
and the interviewers did most of the talk
ing until the question of religion was
| mentioned, when Czolgosz broke from
his seeming lethargy and violently de-
nounced the church and the clergy, and
made his relatives promise that there
! should be no service for him, living or
| dead.
No Use for Priests.
Prior to the late evening interviews
| Czolgosz reluctantly received Fathers
afternoon and occurred after he had once
| refused to meet them. When they
| reached the prison Supt Collins con-
Veyed the request for an interview to the
prisoner. Czolgosz sent back word that
he did not care to see them, but the
priests asked to see him despite his re-
fusal. Supt. Collins consented and per-
sonally escorted them to the CELL The
priests remained with Czolgosz for three
| quarters of an hour and earnestly pleaded
| with the prisoner to repent and pray
for divine forgiveness. He rejected all
their advances, however, and they regret
fully withdrew. They told the prisoner
they would hold themselves ready to an
swer call from him at any hour of the
night. 1t was Z o'clock when Supt Col
Inns went into the death house and tried
to get the prisoner to talk to him. AL
| though he remained in the cell some time
| he was apparently not successful in get
| ting anything material from him
