"Girl Named Amy"
Among the hundreds of letters receiv-
ed from Czolgosz at the prison was one
mentioning a girl named Amy of chi
cago. Mr.. Collins, thinking to surprise
him. said:
your girl named Amy of Chicago is
coming to see YOU"
The prisoner said, with stolid indiffer-
ence and without the least trernor OF
surprise: II don't know any such girl.
l don't want to see her"
do you know where you are now?'
"Yes, in prison"
do you know where the prison is?
Mo- was the reply.
"You know that you are going to
/ die?" asked Mr.. Collins.
Eyes. I suppose so. I expected It,
| Superintendent Collins closed the in
tcrview by saying: "If you want to
| tell me anything, the guards will notify
| me-"
Czolgosz made no reply, and was taken
| back to his cell.
Chaplain MOI Wanted.
Rev. Cordelle Herrick. chaplain Of the
! prison, was in the death chamber, ready
! for any call that might be made for his
services. He was not wanted by. the
prisoner, however.
The clothing and personal effects OF
the prisoner were burned under the di-
rection of Warden Mead, shortly after
the execution.
When the body of Czolgosz had been
removed from the room where he was
executed to the autopsy table, Auburn
prison returned to the routine of it's Or
binary life.
The prisoners who had been kept
locked in their cells were released at
745 O'Clock and prison work was re-
sumed at once. There was no excite
ment among the cOnvicts.
Scarcely a hundred people had gath
cred outside the prison gate to watch
the witnesses enter and wait until they
re-appeared. The witnesses dispersed
quickly, some of them leaving for their
homes as early as o'clock.
supt Collins Makes Statement.
Prison Superintendent Collins made the
following statement to the press:
Just consider that within about six
weeks of the death of his distinguished
victim Czolgosz was regularly tried,
| sentenced and executed and this. des-
pite the fact that the law compelled us
to give four weeks to prepare for death,
"All has been done in dignified way,
and the greatest credit is due to War
den Mead for the care he has taken to
strip the case of sensationalism
| THE execution was one of the most
successful ever conducted in the state.
Extraordinary care had to be taken in
the case because both the warden and
received hundreds Of threatening letters
many of them asserting in violent and
Incorporate language, that the prisoner
would never be put in the chair.
Il have decided for the present that
we will not destroy any of the hum
dreds of letters written to the warden.
Czolgosz and myself.
Eventually they would be destroyed
but it has struck me than perhaps we
should make a list of them, especially
of those letters signed with full and
proper names in which coincidence was
offered to the prisoner or threats against
| us We're made.
Look UP Crank Correspondents.
'My plan is to get the addresses OF
these people and keep the list for police
reference I believe there may come a
time when such a list would be valuable
in running down anarchists.
II have decided to bury the body OF
Czolgosz in the regular prison plot ir
the local cemetery. The funeral vii
take place some time within the next Il
hours. We will keep the grave guarded
night and day until such time as the
quick lime. which will be placed arount
the body, shall have entirely destroyed
It,"
Electrician Davis Talks.
Electrocutor Davis made this state
ment in regard to the electrocution:
II used 100 volts of electricity, turn
ing it into the body at full voltage 70
seven seconds, and then slowly reducin,
it for As seconds. Then. at the sugges
ton of DR.. Macdonald, l turned it OF
again for few seconds.
II did not think there was any neces
sity for the third contact, and the lacl
of resistance shown when it was admin
istered proved that life was extinct. Til
body showed eight amperes of resist
ance. That is little more than wOul
be given by larger and stouter mar
where the current could have MGR
chance to percolate. 1t was as success
| full an execution as l ever operated at.
Czolgosz Admits to Lies.
Tn his interview with Superintendent
! Collins last night Czolgosz made anOthe
explanation of his visit to Chicago jus
before he went to Buffalo, but later ad
mitted that he had lied.
He said that When he cached Chicag
a boy whom he did not know approache

package of money
He said the money was for use on tn
Eufrao trip, but he never knew VIII
