either the body or the garments of the
/ murderer. and the owner of a kinet-
! oscope wired Warden Meade that he
would pay $4,000 for permission to take
a moving picture of Czolgosz entering
/ the death chamber.
/ The superintendent also had his sus-
/ picions aroused as 20 the motives of
some of the relatives of Czolgosz in
! seeking the body, in view of their pow
I erty and the trouble and danger pos
si5le in connection with it's removal

The superintendent CHANGED to meet

the death cell, shortly after his ar

I he did. Collins then told him that ne

and said they would surely avoid ser

/ by consenting to burial here. He as
sured Waldeck Czolgosz that he and
the family could attend that they
would be protected, and that the body
would be given decent burial

chief Of police OF Cleveland and asked
him to discuss the matter with Czol-
: gosz senior Collins asked that the
question be- fairly stated 10 the father
and that If he agreed. telegram Of
