Family Little Concerned.

Cleveland, Oct 29.-The family of
Leon Czolgosz shows little concern
over the fate of their son and brother
as he bore no relation whatever
to them That the elder Czolgosz has
become entirely Indifferent to the
fate of his son is evident. The family
members went to bed early, o'clock,
and when the father got there he
had to arouse them that he might be

brother, succeeded in obtaining from |
him a REIMBURSEMENT of the family |
claim to the remains when the execu-
toner shall have finished his work. |
The resolution of Supt. Collins to /
prevent any sensation in the transpor-
tation and burial or cremation of the |
body Of CZolgosZ took new Zest from
two offers submitted yesterday by
men of questionable enterprise. A
keeper in one of the larger
eastern cities telegraphed him an
offer of $4,000 spot cash for either the
body or garments of the murderer and
the owner Of a kaleidoscope wired
Warden Meade he would pay $4,000
for permission to take a moving pic
ture of Czolgosz entering the death
chamber.
The superintendent also had his
suspicious aroused as to the motives
of some Of the relatives Of Czolgozs
in seeking the body in view of their
poverty and the trouble and danger
possible in conjunction with its re-
moval and isposal He met the
brother of the murderer. as he was
being escorted to the death cell and at
once took the matter up with him.
He pointed out the danger of the stu
alton and said if the suspicion as to
the motive in claiming the body were
well grounded he would refuse to sur
render it, law or no law Finally
Czolgosz agreed upon REIMBURSEMENT,
but refused to sign until he had talked
with his brother-in-law. Upon being
told the Buffalo crematory refused to
receive the body he signed. The
agreement prohibits any portion of
the body being removed from the
prison and this will be strictly en-
forced.
CZolgosz suffered a slight nervous
attack late yesterday afternoon, but
the prison officials did not regard it
in the light of breakdown and ad-
hered to the belief that he will go
unfalteringly to his death Physi-
clans who visited the cell found the
prisoner suffering from extreme
nervousness. When they finished
their examination the prisoner turned
sullenly into the corner of his cell,
refusing to talk.
| Aside from the break at nightfall,
CZolgosZ spent the last day of his
life much as he did the others. The
approach of death seemed to awaken
no greater consciousness in his posi-
ton. He turned his back unOD the
priests who came to urge him to con-
fess and repent and was undemonstra-
tive in the presence of those of his
kin who came to say last farewell.
When alone with the guards, he re-
manned silent and passed the time
either lying on his bunk or slowly
pacing up and own his cell The
prison guards combatted the sugges-
ton that his stolidity was a daze of
fear and that the hour of the eXecu-
ton would find him helplessly broken
down. Walter n. ThayeT, former war
den Of Dannemara prison, yesterday
inspected the death chamber and the
chair and suggested an improvement
in the latter which was made at once.

A Panic at BalltoWn,

New Orleans. Oct. "a Picayune
Amite City dispatch says Three
white men and eleven negroes killed
is the startling and terrible news
from Washington parish last night
The first news Of the race riot was
brought here yesterday by Cornelius
Nixon, who with his mother left from
near Franklinton yesterday morning.
He stated the white men rode into
Franklinton at 2 o'clock yesterday
morning asking for help, saying the
negroes were up in arms threatening
20 exterminate the whites. Inc scene
of the trouble is near Balltown, where
a negro was burned last week for
criminally assaulting a white woman.
This was not the cause, however, for
the murders. Carter said 500 men
were probably under arms yesterday
in Washington parish The trouble
occurred at a negro camp meeting.
Greer Lott a negro, was running
Iefreshment stand and a constable.
white man, asked for his license. He
had none and defied the officer. The
constable obtained assistance and re-
turned with several white men. Lott
rushed out and fired point blank into
the crowd. killing Joe Seals and
Charles Elliott. The whites returned
the fire and killed Lott. A negro
preacher named Connolly rushed out
with a gun, attempting to shoot, when
he was killed and his daughter was
killed, it is said accidentally. In the
shooting which followed another white
an was kill, AM T. Il Thompson
wounded, and seven or eight negroes
killed The shooting had no direct
connection with the burning of the
negro Morris, but it is undoubtedly a
sequel to that event. Since then it is
reported negroes have been holding
nightly meetings preparing to attack
the whites.
Ralltown is about 20 miles from
FranklintOn in sparsely settled sec
ton. 1t is isolated and almost entire
ly cut off from the outside world
Franklinton is q miles east of this
place and no Geographic or telephone
