THE EXPERT IS RETICENr

Bunaic. Sept. 2i.-Leon F. Cxolrosz.
 whose trial for the assassination Of President Mckinley will begin next Mon day, was examined as to his sanity or insanity for enc hour this afternoon by pr. Carlos F. Mcdonald of New York. the eminent alienist who was for years the chairman of the State Board of Lunacy
 Commissioners. The prisoners counsel. former Justices Lorain l.. Lewis and Robert c. Titus. were present at dffrer- ent times during the examination. At it's close Dr. Mcdonald declined to discuss the ease. and the attorneys would not ex- press their opinions as to the assassin's mental condition. although the inference drawn from their answers was that they believed czolgosz to be sane.
 pr. Mcdonald was brought to Buffalo through the efforts of President Adelbert Moot and other members of the Erie County Bar Association for the purpose Of passing upon the murderer's sanity. as the association has promised to assist Judges Lewis and Titus who were sua- gested as counsel for the defense by the trustees of the Bar Association.
 The examination was held in the pri- vate oftlce of District Attorney Penney Tn the County Court Hall and prepara- tions for 1t were kept secret When ques- ttoned as to whether the prisoner would talk to his counsel. as he had refused when Judge Lewis visited him Tuesday before the arrafgnment to say word, that venerable Judge said:
 He is talking more freely, but he Is not .voluble chap. lie said nothing upon which we might work in passing q
 At 4:35 o'clock Czoigosz was taken back to the jail He walked more sprightly and did not have to be dragged along blythe officers as heretofore. When he was being led back to the jail he chatted quite freely with one of his guards His Ran- eral appearance was more of an ordinary young man of the so-cailed middle ciass- miliar type of anarchists. nor ia he good looking enuogh to attract the second slance of one meeting him.
 hsIr Ten Isn minutes e after M the prisoner had derer's row Dr. Mcdonald and Judge Titus left the city hall together. pr. McDonaid declined to say q word about the examination when guestioned by an Associated Press reporter. Judge Titus said that the alienist would make a further exanlinatlon of the prisoner, but that the time had not been decided upon.
 In answer to questions. Judge Titus said: ''rhe prisoner talked, but not freely. He talked considerably to Dis trict Attorney Penny and ,Dr. Mcdonald, but was not very communicative with Judge Lewis and myself. would not care to say whether or not he said anything which would serve to help us in forming basis for defence;
 twill Dr. Mcdonald be a witness for the defence on the trial?" asked the As- sociated Press representative.
 ''Well, we are not calling any defence witnesses just now, we want to know exastly what he thinks before we deter mine that question: was the Judges re- ply.
 Asked if the defence could more than cross examine witnesses in event of the prisoners refusal to aid the attorneys. Judge Titus remarked that the prisoner had relatives and friends. He said that Cxolgosz's father was not in Buffalo, as he is a poor man and cannot afford to travel. The Judge said the prisoner had told him nothing about his friends, but that all the necessary information in re- gard to them was in possession of the counsel.
 District Attorney Penney says he has had no intimation that the defense will not be ready to proceed with the trial Monday morning. It will be held before Justice Truman C. White in Part III of the Supreme Court. Extensive prepara- . tions are being made to handle the crowds which are expected. one-third of the court room will be given up to the participants in the trial and the news paper men. When the remainder of the court room is filled, the doors will be shut and the city hall entirely closed.
