The maid tied the last knot of rib

sarcastically.

steps that led to the green room and
to the stage in front. She wished to
zee the audience before the play be-
gan. She walked slowly and haughtily
through the laughing, impatient throng
of chorus girls and villagers and took
opening in the curtains through which
she could look. There was sea of
faces, great audience, but nowhere
one familiar face, although Milly Ellis
had been born and grew up in this
great city and now returned to it, the
star of an opera troupe.
The bran new chandelier of electric
lights threw it's beams over the clean
paint and gay draperies of the sum-
mer theater. There were rows upon
rows of heads and faces, but nothing
familiar to respond to the fond long
ing in her heart.
A voice sounded beside her.
"A great AUDIENCE real triumph
and you are quite at your best to-
night, Miss Devereaux."
Beside her, bowling low enough, was
the new tenor.

body had been buried for more than
an hour, and that II they wished lie
would send guard to guide them to
the grave. They answered that they
did not care to go to the cemetery, but
that they were anxious to arrange for
the collection of the insurance on the
life Of the dead murdered and asSc 1
that certificate of death be given to

SUPERINTENDENT COLLINS
MADE A STATEMENT.
He said the Execution Was Entirely
Successful.

AUBURN n. Y, October 29.-When
the body of Czolgosz had been removed
from the room where he was killed TO
the autopsy table. Auburn prison re-
turned to the routine of its ordinary
life. The prisoners who had been
kept locked in their cells, were released
at 7.45 o'clock and prison work was re-
sumed at once There was no excite
ment among the conviets. Scarcely a
hundred people had gathered outside
the prison gate to watch the witnesses
enter and wait until they re-appeared
The witnesses dispersed quickly, some
of them leaving for their ZONES as
early as 9 o'clock.
Prison Superintendent Collins made
the following statement to the Assoeia-
ted Press:
Just consider that within about six
weeks from the death of his distin-
guished victim Czolgosz was regularly
tried, convicted, sentenced and exc
cuted, and this despite the fact that the
law compelled us to give him four
weeks to prepare for death. All has
been done in a dignified way, and the
greatest credit is due Warden Mead
for the care he has taken to strip the
case of sensationalism. The execution
was one of the most successful ever
conducted in the State. Extraordinary
care had to be taken in the case be-
cause both the Warden and I received
hundreds of threatening letters, many
of them asserting in violent and in
temperate language that the prisoner
would never be put in the chair,
have decided for the present that we
will not destroy any of the hundreds
of letters written to Czolgosz, the War
den and myself as to the case. Even
tually they will be destroyed, but 1t
has struck me that perhaps we should
make list of them, especially of those
letters signed with full and proper
names, in which coincidence was Offer
ed to the prisoner or threats against
us were made. My plan is to get the
addresses of these people and keep the
list for police reference. ! believe that
there may come a time when such a
list would be valuable in running down
anarchists. / have decided to bury the
- in, ba rnor11ar TNpicnn
plot in the local cemetery. The fun
eral will take place some time within
the next forty-eight hours. We will
keep the grave guarded day and night
until such time as the quieklime which
will be placed around the body shall
have entirely destroyed 1t.

ment as to the execution: Il used

and he spoke perfect English.
81 am not sorry for my crime he
said Loudly just as the guard pushed
his head back on the rubber head rest
and drew the strap across his fore
head and chin. As the pressure on the
straps frightened and bound the jaw
slightly he mumbled: I'm awfully
sorry could not see my father"
1t was just exactly III o'clock when
he crossed the threshold, but a minute
had elapsed and he had just finished
the last statement when the strapping
was completed and the guards stepped
back. Warden Mead raised his hand
and at 7:l2:S0 Electrician Davis turned
the switch and threw l,7o0 volts OF
electricity into the living body.
The Electric Current.
The rush OF the current threw the
body so hard against the straps that
thet creaked perceptibly. The hands
cllnched suddenly and the whole atti-
tude was one of extreme tenseness.
For forty five seconds, the full current
was kept on and then slowly the cleo
trieian threw the switch back reducing
the current volt by volt until 1t was
cut off entirely. Then just as It had
reached that point he threw the lever
back again for two or three seconds.
The body, which had collapsed as the
current was reduced. stiffened up again
against the straps. When 1t was turn
ed off again, Dr. Macdonald stepped
to the chair and put his hand over the
heart. He said he felt no pulsation,
but suggested that the current be turn
ed on for few seconds again. Once
more the body became rigid. At 7:15
the current was turned off for good
From the time Czolgosz had left his
cell until the full penalty was paid
less than four minutes had elapsed
The physicians present used the stethe-
scope and other tests to determine il
any life remained. and at 7;17 the War
den raising his hand announced Gen
tlemen. the prisoner is dead

100 volts Of electricity. turning II into
the body at fun voltage for seven Sec
onds and then slowly reducing Il for IS
seconds. Then threw the full, voltage
on again for eight seconds. Then, at
the suggestion of Or. Macdonald,
turned ii on again FOR few seconds.
/ did not think there was any necessity
for the third contact, and the lack of
resistance shown when ii was admin
istered proved that life was extinct
The body showed eight smperes Of re-
sistance. That is a little more than
would be given 10y a larger or stouter
man where the current could have more
chance to pereolate. 1t was as success
full an execution as 1 have ever operated
at in all my experience.
