accumulation of mail that came to the
prison for him, will be burned. 1t is
feared that the removal of the body to
Cleveland would lead to scenes of an I'M
fortunate nature, and the prison officials
are very anxious to avoid anything of
ing and letters of the murderer will pre-
vent the exhibition of relics by those
who rander to the morbid.
The firm purpose of Superintendent
Collins and Warden Mead to avoid even
the appearance of sensationalism in this
case is demonstrated by an incident in
connection with one of the principal
witnesses. DIR. Carlos F. Mcdonald, of
New York City, former president OF
the state lunacy commission, is to be the
principal attending physician at the exc
cution. He was one of the alienists who
examined Czolgosz in Buffalo and pro-
nounced the prisoner sane. He has been
very anxious to take away with him
from the autopsy the assassin's brain
for of the purpose of microscopical ex-
animation. A few days ago DIR. MlcDon-
aid had talk with Superintendent Col
Inns and asked to allow him, after the
autopsy, to take the brain to New York
City for examination. Collins said to
him:
doctor, have planned to make this
execution an example of mystery that
will forestall any attempt at sensation
alism i can rot allow anything to go
away from the prison that will In any
way continue this mans identity for mo-
toriety. You may stay at the prison for
a week If you will and examine any por-
ton of the anatomy you please. but my
present plan is not TO allow any portion
os the man, his clothing. or even the let
ers he received, to leave this place"
DR.. Mcdonald replied: II would like
to have taken the brain away, but am
frank to say that you are absolutely
right in the matter. II desire to make
any examination will do 1t at the
prison 9
The plan of Superintendent Collins Is
heartily acquiesced in by Warden Mead.
and 1t is undestrood that an unrepealed
law has been found that will allow the
warden to refuse any request for Cool
gosz's body from even his relatixes, and
will give the warden the privilege of
disposing OF 1t. In that event within
two hours after the execution, unless DR..
Mcdonald cares to make an analysis Of
the brain, Czolgosz. body. clothes, let
tcrs, and everything remiscent of him
in the prison will be disposed of; the
body of the assassin will be buried In
quicklime. and the clothes. letters, and
packages will be consumed by fire.
And this is not all. Mead. with Super
interdent Collins approval, has decided
that for the next thirty hours preceding
the execution of Czolgosz not one word
of his condition or actions shall be given
out from the prison. In other words.
the man. beginning from midnight, is
practically dead, SO far as the public
is concerned.
AT meeting of the prison officials
today the program was gone over All
the detilas were carefully arranged. The
prisoners attitude is reported un-
changed. Apparently he does not care
to see anyone and declines to talk. eX-
cept in monosyllables. Tonight at six,
after the death warrant has been read,
an extra guard will be placed in the cell.
This is merely precautionary, there be-
ing no fear Of double guard being
needed. The guards are doubled merely
as precautionary measure and not be-
cause there is reason to believe extra
men will be needed. The police are in
corporation with the prison officials
and keep close watch on all trains en-
.tering the city. They too feel there is
a remote possibility of an act of violence
upon the part Of some crank imbued
with a wild plan either of aiding or in
juring the prisoner and they hope to
prevent anything of the kind. Warden
Brown has still another safeguard
around the prisoner to prevent any mis-
carriage of plans formulated. He has
directed that the death watch insist
that any general conversation which
the prisoner may have With visitor.
One exception under the ruling will be
in case the prisoner makes confession
to one Of the Polish priests. In that
case the guards will withdraw out Of
hearing. but not out of sight of the
prisoner.
