Address By Judge Lewis.

The court consented and the venerable
remembered by those who heard it. Judge
Lewis said:
Gentlemen of the Jury: calamity
has fallen upon this nation through the
act Of this man, but the question is
whether his act was the act of an insane
man. If an insane man, it is not muir
der and he should be acquitted of that
charge. He would then, of course, be
transferred to an insane asylum.
Much discussion has occurred in our
midst and has been called to my atten-
tion, as to the propriety of any defense
being interposed in this case. Many let
ters have been received by me since l
was assigned with my associate to de-
fend this man, questioning the propriety
of II defense being attempted. You gen.
tlcinen, know, perhaps, how Judge Titus
and myself came into the case The DO
sition was not sought by us, but we ap-
pear here in performance of duty which
we thought devolved upon us, notwith-
standing it was an exceedingly disagree
able one.
"The defendants counsel appear here
because, under our system of jurspru-
the high crime of murder, the penalty of
which, under the law is death, without he
has the assistance of counsel The court
has the power to designate counsel and
it is the duty of the counsel thus desig-
mated to appear in the case unless they
can make some reasonable excuse and
succeed in being relieved of the duty.
ENTITLED TO A TRIAL.
THE defendant. no matter how serious
a crime he has committed, is entitled un-
der our laws to the benefit of trial.
In the case of murder, he. must have a
trial. You sat here and listened to the
defendants plea of guilty when he was
arraigned at the opening of this term.
but the law of our State will not permit
him to plead guilty to such crime as
this. The law is SO careful of the rights
of its citizens that il will not permit a
man to plead guilty to this crime of mur-
der, so that, even after he had conceded
his guilt in this case, it was 1nculn-
bent upon the court to insist that the
trial should proceed and that the people

A TRIBUTE TO M'KINLEY.

Think, gentlemen, of that grand
man who stood but few days ago in
the Temple of Music and how he came
from the lowly walks of life, how he
was first a school teacher, then a law
yer, then judge, a Governor, Con-
gressman and then a President of the
United States, and above all. loving
husband, and that on the last day when
he said: 1T is Gods way: good bye
all; good bye a man SO great that he
could raise his hand and save his own
assassin, man who could shake the
hand of even the very worst man you
could imagine.
1T is great lesson that so great a
man can stoop SO low, that he was so
great that he could forgive his own as
sassin. He was the noblest man, / be-

(By the Associated Press.)

Buffalo, N. Y, Sept. 4.-Leon F. Czol-
today of murder in the first degree by a
jury in Part III of the Supreme Court,
in having on the sixth day of September
shot President William Mckinley, the
wounds inflicted afterwards resulting in
the death of the President.
The wheels of justice moved swiftly.
The trial of the assassin consumed eight
hours and twenty-six minutes and COW
cred a period of only two days. Practically
all of this time was occupied by the
prosecution presenting a case SO clear, SO
conclusive, that even had the prisoner
entered a plea of insanity it is doubtful
If the fury would have returned a verdict
different from the one rendered today.
The announcement made this afternoon
by attorneys for Czolgosz that the emf
ncnt alienisrs summoned by the Erie
County Bar Association and by the dis
trict attorney to examine CZolgOsz and to
determine his exact mental condition had
declared him to be perfectly sane, de-
stroyed the only stage of a defense that
Judges Lewis and Titus could have put
together.
SENTENCE SET FOR THURSDAY.
Before adjournment Justice White an
nounced that he would pronounce SEN
tence upon the defendant on Thursday
afternoon at O'Clock. The prisoner was
taken at once through the tunnel, un-
der Delaware Avenue, back to the Jail
To all appearances he was in no way af-
fected by the result Of the trial.
The crowd gathered at city hall today
was the largest which has seen him since
his arraignment. People were lined uT
on both sides of the big rotunda on the
second floor where court convened, anG
fringed the stairs leading from the fiool
above. There was no demonstration ex

of women witnessed today's proceed

At 2:44 this afternoon District Attorne.
Penney abruptly announced that the cas-,
of the prosecution was ended. Judg,

court, said that the sudden close of the

troubles in getting up to the wharves
owing to the presence of detritus which
has been washed into the harbor. 1t
may be possible that by using this kind
of argument there will be such pressure
brought to bear upon Congress that a
sum which will permit the using of a
dredge will be authorized at once and
the way cleared for the biggest ship to
enter the slips.
The committee on commerce has also
before it the lighthouse bills under
which Hawaii is to be added to the
twelfth lighthouse district, and also for
the construction of four new light
houses. The lighthouse board, whichs
has control of all the lighthouse estab-
ishments of the country, anticipating
the action of Congress in making some
disposition of the Hawaiian establish
ment at this session of Congress, put
into its annual report a request for
$4,000 for the maintenance of the
lighthouses of the Islands 1t is be-
lieved that there will be no difficulty in
securing the appropriation for the
keeping up of the system of the Islands,
but there is a great chance Of the fail
ure of the appropriations for the new
houses. The chairman of the House
appropriations committee, which
frames the sundry civil bill, which will
carry the lighthouse appropriations,
has notified the lighthouse board that
/ there will be no new establishment
provided for in the bill The Senate
may take the Initiative in this matter
and if so will give to the Islands all
that is wanted.

Special Correspondence


yASHINGTON, Jan. 27.-There
w is more than a probability
that, as forecast in these dis
ratches. the Senate committee on
commerce Will give to the Islands
the money needed for the surveying of
the harbors and Islands for the purpose
Of forming a basis for the final ad-
iustment of the harbor improvements
bv the National Government. The
amendment which was proposed to the
House committee on rivers and har-
bors before the coming of Delegate
Wilcox was given by him to Senator
Perkins and by him offered in the
upper branch. In pursuance of his in
tention to see that there was nothing
left undOne to secure improvements for
the harbors, Senator Perkins appeared
before the commerce committee of the
Senate during the week just passed and
advocated the appropriation of money
70 make the surveys. From the way in
which the arguments of the California
Senator were received there seems no
reason to doubt that the surveys will
be authorized and then the work will
proceed during the coming summer.
While this is going on there will be
an effort made to have an appropria-
ton made at once for the dredging Of
the harbor of Honolulu, at least at the
entrance of the harbor. This will be
done if at ALL on the strength of the

Saturday night between the hours Of
and 1880 o'clock thieves broke into the

Mr.. Healy had occasion to 90 down into
the cellar. While down there he discov-
cred several broken fruit jars He at
cnce called tho attention of the house

had broken the jars. But she knew as
little of the matter as he did. Soon after

SEEKING FOR EMPLOYMENT

A very sad case OF restitution was
brought to the notice Of an Eagle reporter

his wife and three children on the West

He worked here for some time and then
was transferred TO Arizona. where ne.

zona to New Mexico, where he hunted
Tor work, but did not succeed in finding
any. He then went to FL Paso, Tex,
where he again secured employment on

train on which he was brakeman, broke
tnro Ugh a trestle and wrecked the train,
killing several and severely wounding

where he was confined for several
months. During all this time Merron'
wife and children were living in this city,

ing for some time to hear from her nus
band, Mrs. Merron did what she could
towards supporting herself and children,
by washing and sewing for people. She
has been doing this ever since a year
ago, and about eight months ago another
Child was born. She has not heard from
her husband since last May. When asked
yesterday by an Eagle reporter where she
thought her husband might be she re-
piled that for certain she could not tell,
but that she was afraid he might he con-
