ways Admired.

Cleveland, O.-Investigation con-
corning the identity of Czolgosz, the
would-be assassin, develops that he is
the son Of Paul Czolgosz. who, it is
said, now lives at s0S Fleet street,
this city. Other members Of the
family are John, who lives at home
with his father and stepmother
Mike, o soldier, now serving in the
Philippines; Vlndiolan, who is on his
fathers farm, located on the Chasrin
Falls suburban line, and Jacob of
Marcelline avenue.
The family is Polish, and evidently
very poor, the father having left
home Saturday morning looking for
employment.
Paul Czolgosz, the father of Leon,
was seen at his home at 800 Fleet
street Saturday. he did not appear
deeply concerned over the enormity
Of his sons crime and was calmly
stropping q razor with which he had
just shaved himself. When seen by q
reporter, Mrs. Cozlgosz was ousily
engaged in her hosehold duties, which
she desisted to aid in directing an
officer to .he home Of Waldak Bau-
durski.
Baudurski is said to be prominently
identified with Cleveland socie listio
organization and is a brother-in-law
of Leon Czolgosz. 1t is possible that
he will also be placed in the Sweat
box"
The stepmother cannot speak Eng
lish, but gave out the following In
terview through the medium of an
interpreter.
She said Leon left home about
sixty days ago. He was then in In
diana, and wrote as that he was going
away, stating that in all probability
we would not see him again."
The stepmother failed to recall the
name Of the city from which the let
ter was received, but stated that it
was some place in Indiana. The
family had not heard from him since.
The step-mother denies that Leon was
q disciple of Emma Goldman, or in
any way interested in her doctrines.
She said he was not interested in
such matters and scarcely intelligent
enough to understand them They
had always considered the boy partly
demented. Up to three years ago he
worked at the Cleveland rolling mill,
but had to quit on account Of poor
health. Since that time he has been
Idle. While living on the farm near
Tarrensville his father had NOT asked
Leon to work, having always consid-
red him too weak for manual labor.
Regarding the shooting Of the
President, Mrs. Czolgosz said:
az cant't believe that Leon il the
me. He was such q timid boy, SO
.fraid of everything. Why, lie was
he biggest coward You ever saw in 4
vour life
She emphatically disclaims that the |

endencies whatever. He was an sd-
nirer Of his brother, the Philippine
'oldier, and liked his country, never
bowinR the least sign Of discomfort.
