A long technical statement was issued later in
the day, but contained nothing new.
After the autopsy the body placed in
black stained pine coffin and taken 10 the
prison cemetery.
Warden Mead and Superintendent Collins had
decided that the purpose Of the law was the de-
struction OF the body and that il was not neces-
lime. which was considered too slow Accord
ingly. carboy Of acid was obtained and poured
upon the body in the coffin. after II had been
lowered into the grave.
II is the belief OF the physicians that the body
will be entirely disntegrated within twelve
hours. During that time and long as deemed
necessary a guard will be kept over the un-
marked grave.

dOwski. brother and brOther-in-law of the
sassin called at the prison at o'clock this
afternoon. They sent word In 10 Warden Mead
that they wished to the body OF Leon Czol-
Eosz. The warden told them that the body had
been buried for more than hour. and that IL
they wished he would send a guard 10 guide
them to the grave. They answered that they
did not care TO go to the cemetery. but that they
anxious to arrange for the collection Of
the insurance the life of the dead murderer
and asked that a certificate of death he given 10
them. The warden promised a certificate 10
them and they departed. The insurance about
which they talked is supposed to be in fra
ternsl society 10 which the murderer belonged.
