AUBURN, x. ", Oct 29.-CzolGosz is no

Czolgosz'' would be the watchword. and
as he sat in the chair this morning ne
said:

our people to wake up and go after these
fellows. 1t seems to me that this thing
will do more than anything that could
have happened to make anarchy more un-
popular here than ever 1t makes me
writhe to think that there should be any
place in this country where such speech
could be an acceptable utterance. Yet
there are such places. That is why the

The AsSassin's Brain Normal.
Strangely enough the physicians who
performed the autopsy today found that
apparently, Czolgosz did not have dis
eased brain. nor diseased body to ac-
count for his distorted intellect Super
hcially, at least, the brain had the ap-
pearance of health The following sum

"The autopsy was MADE by Mr.. Edward
A. Spitzka, of New York, under the imme-
date supervision and direction of DR..
Carlos F. Macdonald. of New York, and
Dr. John Germ, prison physician The
autopsy occupied over three hours ana
embraced a careful examination of all
the bodily organs, including the brain
The examination revealed a perfectly
healthy state of all the organs, including
the brain. All of the physicians who at
tended the execution were present at the
autopsy, and all concurred in the findings
of the examiners"
Drs Macdonald and Germ and MI

The assassin's last night among the liv-
ing was not an unusual one, according to
the statements of Warden Mead. Indus
trial Superintendent Hall, DIR. Germ and
others There was report that the con-
demned man had spent the night restless
~ on his bed, talking great deal to
himself-a report credited to a guard, but
denied by the principal authorities of the
prison, who assert that Czolgosz slept
like baby from l o'clock to $50 when
the warden went to his cell and awakened
him, and read the death warrant to him.
Czolgcsz rose from his bed, and lis
tened in a dull way. and dropped back
when the reading was over
When the warden told Czolgosz that he
had only until o'clock to live, and to
make final preparation for death, he said
nothing The warden's remark was called
forth by a desire to give the prisoner one
last chance to reconcile himself to the
Church. II had been decided the evening
request for a clergyman's presence. there
would be none in ATTENDANCE at the exc

held from the assassin an occasion for
mingling blasphemy with his other utter
ances in the chair.
Warden Mead had hardly reached his Of
flee when word came to him from the cell
that Czolgosz wanted to see him. The
warden took Prison Superintendent Col
Inns down with him, and to them Czolgosz
said that he wanted to make a statement.
Make it," said the warden.
Il want more people" objected Czol-
gosz.
There Will be no more here" the pris-
oner was informed IF you want to talk
you won't have any time to do it in the
death chamber"
Czolgosz refused to say anything more.
but gave the warden and superintendent
the impression that he would not attempt
TO make a statement later. He asked if
ne could see his brother Waldeck again,
but the warden told him that all the fare
wells had been said last night. The war
den went back TO his Office and a meagre
breakfast was given to the assassin. who,
however, found it more than he cared to
eat. After that the clothing he was to
wear in the death chair was given to him
ard he was left alone. except for the
guards to think about that speech which
was to be his farewell flourish.
