WAS FULLY RESPONSIBLE

l New York. January 3.-An exhaustiVe report on the trial, execution autopsy and mental status of Czolgosz, the assas- sin of President Mckinley. is given In the New York Medical Journal for Janu- ary 4. The report embodies the result of much careful investigation by Dr. Carlos Macdonald and Edward A. Spitzka or this city. The question which these in vestigators set themselves to answer was, when Czolgosz shot the President did he know the nature and quality of the act he was doing and that the act was wrong? This was from the legal stand point.
 From the standpoint of medical science the question that framed itself was, Was Czolgosz at the time he committed the act a victim of mental disease or mental unsoundness?"
 Takes Up Twelve Pages.
 The reply to these questions takes. up nearly twelve pages in the New fork Medical Journal and is to the effect that Czolgosz was sane and responsible under the law and punishable for the offense, although everything in his history, ac- cording to the medical experts pointed to the existence in him of the social dis ease, anarchy. of which he was victim.
 His refusal to reply to questions at the trial is regarded as having been in line with his role, expressed in the theatrical declaration: '1 am an anarchist and have done my duty MT. Macdonald ex- plains that ''the anarchist creed teaches that when one of their number is selected I@ l.. ta f6 farn about it quietly and in his own way, taking no one into his confidence; that having accomplished the deed, if appre- hended he shall not admit his connection with any other members of the circle; that if convicted and sentenced to die, he shall go to his death without revealing his connection with others, resting secure In the belief that he will be ever regarded by his associates as 3, ,nartyr and hero who died in the discharge of a noble duty.~.
 ! In Keeping With His Creed.
 The course and conduct of Czolgosz from the begining down to his death are entirely in keeping with this creed. And finally the cool and courageous manner in which he met his death, and the fact that from the day of his arrest until he died, never uttered a word that could be used against his accomplices, if he had any, and that he died as anarchists wine | suffer the death penalty always die without uttering a word that would tend to incriminate any of his co-conspirators tend to stamp him as an anarchist"
 Dr. Macdonald concludes his reports ] with the declaration that Czolgosz wher he assassinated President Mckinley was in all respects sane man, both legally and mentally and fully responsible foi l his act.
 Dr. Spitizka. who hade the autopsy concluded his report as follows:
 There has been found absolutely nc condition of any of the viscera that coul6 have been at the bottom of any menta Arrangement. Taking all in all the yer. dict must be socially diseased and per. verted. but not mentally diseased The most horrible violations of human law cannot always be condoned by the plea 1 of insanity. The wild beast slumbers ir us all It Is not always necessary to in. yoke insanity to awaken it's dreadful acts
