Buffalo, Sept. 10.-Czolgosz, the as
sassin, went through another examina-
ton yesterday at the hands of the po-
lice officials, but emerged from it with
out having added anything material
to their knowledge. The chief effort
of the detectives was to draw from
the prisoner some admission as to his
accomplices. but he persistently stuck
to his denial that he was assisted in
any way in the commission of the
crime. Every possible device was re-
sorted to in the effort to obtain the
information. but the prisoner main
tanned his position and could not be
shaken. In answer to questions, he
again went over the events of Friday
and told substantially the same story
as in the original confession made
to Superintendent Bull and District
Attorney Penney. Czolgosz weighed
his answers, and when conclusions
that he did not approve were taken
from his statements, insisted upon
making explanations of his exact
meaning. The police have about con-
cluded that more effective work on
the plot can be done on the outside.
The general investigation of the case
progresses slowly, because the men
on 1t must cover large amount of
preliminary ground before they can do
effective work. According to the local
authorities the police know very lit
tie about the anarchists. They say
that the secret service men do not
show any special familiarity with
them and that there does not seem to
be single city police department in
the country that has more than gen.
eral knowledge of them. Members
of the Buffalo force admit that they
have never given American anarchists
serious consideration and that they
did not know there were any here.
Since the president was shot they
have found there are at least 20
ayowed anarchists in the city. Here,
as elsewhere, it has been necessary
for the detectives to satisfy them
selves as to the identity of men they
have had no occasion to watch be-
fore. The local police say that they
do not anticipate any arrests for the
present.
Both Emma Goldman and Julius
Schwab will be detained by the police
whenever they are found. Superin-
tendent Bull has made general re-
quest to the police of the country that
any one suspected of completely be de-
tanned and examined. The police Of
Chicago, Cleveland, Detroit and other
middle state cities are cooperating
with the local officials in ferreting
out the movements of the prisoner be-
fore the crime, and Superintendent
Bull said that they had practically ac-
counted for him for the six weeks
that preceded his arrival here. Cool
gosz is still kept secluded, and the de-
tectives are the only ones who have
| access to him. He is still strong and
healthy and eats with will. Knowl-
edge of the condition of the president
| is kept from him. He knew on Friday
night that the president was still
alive, but has been given no informa.
(! ton since then. Not since his conf1ne.
ment, in talking with his guard, or up
| for examination, has he asked as to
the fate of his victim. No plan for the
arraignment Of the prisoner has been
| considered.
