Buffalo, N. Y, Sept. 2s.-Leon f.
Czolgosz, alias Fred Nieman, was
found guilty of murder in the first
degree by a jury in part of the
supreme court, in having on the 9Th
day of September shot President Will
liam Mckinley, the wounds inflicted
afterwards resulting in the death of
the president. The wheels of justice
moved swiftly. The trial of the as

minutes and covered period of only
two days. Practically all of this time
was occupied by the prosecution in

SCHLEY's COUNSEL DEAD.
Judse Wilson Suddenly Carried or
By Acute Indigestion and
Kidney Affection.

Washington, Sept. IS. Jeremiah
Morrow Wilson, principal counsel for
Rear Admiral Schley and one of the
leading lawyers of Washington, died
suddenly in his apartments in the
Shoreham hotel shortly after IL
o'clock Tuesday. Heart failure, su.
perinduced by an attack of acute in
digestion. coupled with Bright's dis
ease, caused his death. Although
somewhat indisposed Monday night
and Tuesday morning, the end came
unexpectedly, as he was in conference
with his associate counsel in the
Schley case scarcely an hour before
he died. He leaves a son, Charles S.
Wilson, who has been associated with
him in the law, and daughter. Mrs.
William Haywood, of this city.
The death of Judge Wilson brought
the Schley inquiry to sudden ter
mination for the day IS minutes after
converting Tuesday morning. The an
nouncement was made to the court
by Hon. Isidor Rayner, assistant
counsel.
The announcement of Judge Will
sons death created CONSERVATION, not
only among members of the court. but
among the spectators, and some min
utes elapsed before people generally
would accept the report. The judge
had been present in the court all day
Monday, and while he had not partici-
pated to any great extent in the pro-
ceedings. he had appeared physically
active, and wide-awake to all that was
said and done.
The report first reached Mr.. Rayner
in the shape of rumor a minute or
two after Machinist A. B. ClaXton, of
the Texas, the second witness, had
been put on the stand. Capt. Parker
and Mr.. league, of Admiral Schlcy's
counsel, immedia tely went to the tele-
phone. They returned in few mo-
ments saying that the report had been
confirmed. Mr.. Rayner then made his
announcement to the court and asked
an adjournment for the day.
Judge Wilson was a native Of Ohio and
was 70 years old. Early in life he removed
to Indiana. where he served with distinc-
tion on the common pleas and circuit court
penches. He represented an Indiana dis
trict In the Forty-second and Forty-third
congresses. serving as chairman respective
ly OF the house committees on judiciary and
the District of Columbia. After his re-
tirement from congress he formed part
nership with an associate In congress,
Judge Shellaharger, and the firm soon took
rank at the very front of the Washington
par. Among the well-known cases in
which Mr.. Wilson was counsel were the
star route trials. the Holt will case, the
Breckinridge Pollard breach of promise
case. the trial of Capt Howgate for en-
peZzlement. the court-martal proceedings
against Gen. Swain. the Oberin Carter
case and the Venezuela. Alabama. French
cases.

FABLE FOR FATHERS-IN-LAW.
Which Aptly illustrates the Adva.-
taEe Sometimes Derived from
Being Somewhat Deaf.

Minister WI Ting-fang, the ambas-
sador of China to the United States,
was one of a number of speakers It tho

says the Philadelphia Saturday Even
ing Post.
Mr.. WI frankly confessed to some
degree his embarrassment, this being
his first experience in addressing an
audience composed largely of deaf
persons. He further intimated that
the presence of the president of the
college by his side, interpreting his re-
marks, sentence by sentence, to the
mutes, was not calculated to lessen his
discomposure.
Mr.. WI declared that deafness,
though handicap, is not SO serious an
affection as is commonly supposed,
and further that the mysterious law
of compensation steps in and bestows
other talents and blessings.
Continuing, the minister said: ITO
most Of US little deafness at times

perhaps, more clearly illustrate this
point by relating Chinese story.

reigning king retained his throne
chiefly through the sagacity and valor
of one of his generals. The king deeply
felt his obligation to the general, and
in token of his gratitude consented
that his daughter should wed the gen.

1.-THE wedding was duly solemnized
and the happy young couple conn
menced housekeeping in their own
home. For time everything was har-
monious; then the course of true love
became disturbed. as it some times does
even at this advanced date in America.
The young wife became naughty and
referred to her ancestry; she was the
kings daughter, while her husband
was only the son of a general. The
young man, nettled at this, reminded
his wife that hut for the aid of his
father she would he the outcast daugh-

told what he had said about the king.

a Dramatic Scene.
After the jury had retired to consid-
err the evidence the scene in the court
room became dramatic in the extreme.
Decorum was somewhat forgotten and
the spectators stood up and many
walked about the room and engaged in
conversation. The guards about the
assassin. who still sat in his seat be-
fore the bench, were doubled, Chief
of Detectives Cusack and two of his
men taking positions just back of
Czolgosz' chair. Others took seats to
the left and right and many "plain
clothes" men were seen mingling
among the crowds surging about
the room, closely watching every
one whose face was not familiar to
one to them. There was no disposition
to crowd about the prisoner, although
the object of everyone seemed to be
to get in position where he could
have full view of his face. Czolgosz
had been seated in his chair all after
noon, his hands clasped on the arms
+, of the chair and his head bent for
ward and little to the left. The room
was not warm, but he frequently took
his handkerchief from his pocket and
mapped the Precipitation from his
forehead and cheeks. At no time dur.
ing the absence of the jury did he
raise his eyes or lift his head or seem
to know that he was the object of in
terest of several hundred men and
women. Every time the door was
opened all eyes we're turned in that d.
rection, the evident thought in every
mind being that the jury would take
only few minutes to agree on yer-

There was moment of silence and
then a murmur arose from the lips OF

thanked the jurors for their work and

RELATIVES ARRIVE.
F"ther' Hrother nnd Sister of Cxol-
Eosz Reach Dufrnlo-CIOHely EN-
nmincd by Police

Buffalo, N. T., Sept 25.-Paul Cool
gosz, father; Waldeck Czolgosz, broth
or, and Victoria Czolgosz, sister OF
the presidents assassin, arrived here
from Cleveland Tuesday afternoon.
They made themselves known to the
police and were taken to hcaduuar-
tiers, where they were subjected to a
rigid examination. For an hour and
a half they were under searching
fire of questions, which resulted in
the information that they knew moth
ing about the dastnrdly plot; that
they came from Cleveland to vindi-
cate their name, and. If possible, to
aid the authorities by securing from
the prisoner some statement as to his
reasons for the assassination.
Great sorrow was expressed by the
three because of the disgrace which
Leon has brought upon the family.
They said that their neighbors in
Cleveland were hcaping abuse upon
them, and that they decided to come
to Buffalo to clear themselves. They
said they hoped that they might be
able to get their brother to talk to
them and tell them why he had com.
mittcd the murder. who instigatcd il
and who we're concerned in the plot,
if there was one. They expressed no
sympathy for the plight in which the
prisoner is, and said that their sole
purpose was to clear themselves and
aid the authorities if possible. They
did not know that Leon had been con.
victed of the crime until their arrival
in the city, and were apparently not
at all affected when the news was
told to them. After the examination
they asked to see Leon at once, but
were told that it was impossible. Mr..
Hallcr said that he would not prom.
Use that they could see him to-day.
The father and brother told the as
sistant district attorney that Leon
was the strange one Of the family,
and that he did not get along with
the others. They claimed that they
know nothing about his annrchistio
views; that they never knew OF his
reading anarchistic papers, and that
they were ignorant Of his member.
