Waldeck Czolgosz. a brother of the
murderer. foreseeing endless difficulties
and possible angry demonstrations as the
result of an attempt to give the body
ordinary burial. needed the advice OF
Superintendent OF State Prisons Col
Inns and Warden Meade. and finally re-
linquished all claim to il. 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 eontemp,
or the exhibition of CHASTITY relics, is
therefore finally prevented.

Prior TO the late evening interviews
Czolgosz reluctantly received Fathers
Fudzinsh and Hickey. 1t was late in
the afternoon and occurred after he
had once refused to meet them. When
they reached the prison Superintendent
Collins conveyed the request for an in
teryiew 10 the prisoner. Czolgosz sent
back word that he did not care 10 see
them. but the priests asked to see him
despite his refusal. Superintendent Col
Inns consented and personally escorted
them to the cell.
The priests remained with CzoIgosz
for three quarters OF an hour and earn
estiy pleaded with the prisoner to re-
pent and pray for divine forgiveness.
He rejected all their advances. however.
and they regretfuIly withdrew. They
told the prisoner they would hold them
selves ready TO answer a call from him
at any hour of the night Ii was ,
O'Clock when Superintendent Collins
went into the death chamber 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 getting anything material from him.
AT 8 O'Clock the brother and brother
in law arrived and Superintendent Col.
Inns took them down to the condemned
mans cell.
There was no demonstration when
they met Czolgosz simply stepped to
the front of his steel cage and said
Hello"
The brother ventured the remark: u
wish you would tell US. Leon, who got
you into this scrape"
The assassin answered in slow. hest
Eating manner: No one Nobody had
anything 10 do with It but me-"
That is not how you were brought
up" said the brother. @and you ought
to tell us everything now"
Il have not got anything to tell" he
answered, in a surly manner.
DO you want to see the prizes,
egain 7" asked his brother. and he an
'wered with more vehemence than he
had previously shown:
mo, damn them; don't send then,
here again. ! don't want them"
The brother in law interjected here
That's right. Leon The brother
looked rather disturbed BY the answer
Then stepping up close to the bars the
condemned man said:
And don't you have any praying over
ne when I'm dead. / don't want it. !
don't want any of their damned re-
igion-"
There was painful pause of few
minutes when the relatives resumed
casual conversation with him. to which
ne replied in monosyilables until the
brother IN law suggested to Superintend-
nj Collins that he and the brother be
nermitted to witness sthe execution. Be
fore the superintendent could reply Leon
Czoigosz said:
-Yes. Mr.. Superintendent, let them
see il"
Mr. Collins told them that no such
thing could be done, and ordered them
TO say goodby.
Czolgosz turned around and went to
the corner of his cell, where he sat down
and did not answer the last farewell.
In reply TO question by the brothers
Superintendent Collins said the execu-
ton would take place at 2 O'Clock to-
morrow morning and if they asked the
warden. they might be able to see the
body. The brothers then left the prison
