is the time set by Warden J. Warren
Mead for the execution.
Seven O'Clock Tomorrow Morning.
Various reports changing that time
have gone through Auburn Sunday
and last night. One rumor placed

is discredited by the fact that Super
intendent of State Prisons Cornelius
V. Collins. it was expected, will not
arrive here until o'clock this after
noon, and none of the regularly sum

with the prison officials, the plan un.

be carried out. Czolgosz will be the
fifty.ninth man in the state and the
fifteenth at Auburn prison at whose
electrocution Davis has applied the
current.
The death warrant has not yet been
read to the prisoner, but 1t is believed
1t will be this afternoon. The general
practice ~ to read this paper some
time after the commencement of the
period OF execution designated by the
court That period in this case com.
menced at midnight last night.
The firm purpose of Superintendent
Collins and Warden Mead to avoid
even the appearance of sensational
ism IN this case is demonstrated by an
incident in connection with one of the
principal witnesses. DR.. Carlos n
Mcdonald, of New York city, a former
president of the state lunacy com

Example of Mystery Planned.
Doctor, | have planned to make
this execution an example OF mystery
that will forestall any attempt at sen.
sationalism. | cannot allow ANYTHING
TO go away from the prison that will

Identity for notoriety. You may stay
at the prison for a week il Won will
and examine any portion OF the
anatomy you please, but my present
plan Is not to allow any portion of the
man, his clothing. or even the letters
he received, to leave this place.
DR.. Mcdonald replied: Il would
like to have taken the brain away
but | am frank to say that you are
absolutely right in the matter II

do it at the prison
The plan of Superintendent Collins
Is heartily acquiesced in by Warden
Mead, and it is understood that an
unfepealed law has been found that
Will allow the warden to refuse any
request for Czolgosz's body from even

the privilege of disposing of it, In
lnat event, within two hours after the
execution, unless DIR. Mcdonald cares
TO make an analysis of the brain
Czolgosz, body, clothes, letters and
everything reminiscent of him in the
prison will be disposed of. The body
OF the assassin will be buried in
quick time and the clothes, letters and
packages will be consumed by fire
