Buffalo, Sept. 26.-According to the
law of this state October % is the ear
liest date that could be fixed for the
execution of Czolgosz, the murderer of
President Mckinley, who was today
sentenced to be electrocuted during
the week beginning October %.
Only about $50 spectators, including
twenty-five women, were present when
Czolgosz was brought into court at
2:O5 D. m. to receive his sentence for
the murder of William Mckinley.
Czolgosz was perspiring and seemed
nervous as he was led in shackled be-
tween two detectives. AS he took his
seat he dropped his eyes to the table
ahead Of him and assumed his former
listless air. The strain on him is in
tense, evidently, as attested by few
sighs and a heaving chest.
At 2:20 o'clock Justice White took
his seat on the bench, and the crier an
nounced the opening of court.
"Czolgosz, stand up" commanded
District Attorney Penney. The assas-
sin arose.
Prisoner Talks.
Then in reply to the attorneys ques-
tion Czolgosz, in low voice which
could not be heard five feet away, said
his name is Leon S. Czolgosz; TWEEN
ty-eight years old; born in Detroit and
was living in Cleveland when arrested.
His occupation was that of an iron
worker; he is single, attended the
public and church schools; was tenn
perate, was never before convicted of a
crime; his father is alive and his moth
er is dead
Have you any legal excuse why
sentence should not be pronounced
against you?"
Czolgosz could not or pretended he
coud not hear. The judge interviewed
and explained what was meant by the
question, saying, First you may claim
you were insane. Next have you a
good cause to- offer against the SEN
tence being pronounced against your
