reception line leading up tn the prezi-
dent but work along that line had not
been abandoned.
THE DETECTIVES THEORY.
The general theory now held By the
detectives is that g circle OF czoigoszS
associates plotted the murder of PreSi-
dent Mckinley n that he was picked
by lot or induced by persuasion to carry
out the conspiracy- hey say that he
lacks the shrewdness TO have planned
and executed the crime as he did.
The police aid tonight that they a
made no other arrests and that they
had none IN contemplation. II Is evil
dent that they have not made much
rogress toward the establishment of
their theory with material evidence and
hat their chief reliance at present is
on a confession from the prisoner.
C~zolgocz's trial has osen taken up at
Cleveland and 10 Is expected that he
inquiry there will let in some vsluahl
light as to HIS companion and possible
fellow conspirators-
SWEAT-BOXING THE PRISONER
The prisoner was kert secluded today
and, as 4 result OF a suggestion from
the secretary OF war. the police inquiry
will be made "a secretly as possible. No
one is permitted TO see the prisoner
other han the immediate custodians
and his confessions taken down In writ
ing will not be made public for the
present at least. The prisoner has not
retained counsel and when the subject
was mentioned TO HIM TO-DAY he said
that he did not desire a lawyer to de-
fend him. The police said that when he
got over the idea that he was n great
hero among his fellow anarchists he
would very likely resort TO the usual
means to avoid punishment for his
crime. whatever time shows II to be. No
one who ever knew him made applica-
ton to see him today and ne word came
TO him from his relatives. He n q
couple or dollars when arrested and to-
day asked hat IL be expended in the
purchase of a new shirt. His
vas granted and he spent some time
n r~e-arraEging his dress. The police
made another search of his room and
effects, but found nothing that would
throw any light on the crime.
