 lsy-Exhaustive Report. :.

New York, Jan. s.--Exhaustive report on the trial. execution, autopsy and men ta status of Czolgosx. the assassin of President Mckinley. is gwen in The New York Medical Journal for. January 1.
 The report ernoodios the result of much careful investigation by Drs. Carlos Mac Donald and Edward A. Spitska. of this city. Ina question which these investi- gators oet themselves to answer was when Csdgosz shot the President. did he know tho nature and quality of the act he wae doing, and that the act was wrongy This was from the legal stand- point. From the standpoint of medical science the question that framed itself was, .Was Cxolgosz at the time he com mitted fhe act a victim of mental dis ease or mental unsoundnessr
 The reply to these questions takes up nearly twelve pages in The New York Medical Journal. and is to the effect that Cxolgom was sane and responsible under the law and punishable for the offence. and also that his history, according to the unedical experts. pointed to the ex- istence in him of social disease-anarchy --of which he was . victim. His refusal to rcp}x 10 questions at the trial is re- Earded as having been in line with his role. expressed In the theatrical declara- tion. - ana ap anarchist and have done my duty"
 Dr. Macdonald explains that ,The anarchist creed teaches that when one of their number Is selected to do . cer- tain deed, he is to proceed about it quietly and in his own way, taking no enc into his confidence; that, having accumulated the deed, if apprehended, he shall not admit his connection with any other member of the circle; that. If convicted and sentenced. to die, he shall go ta his death without revealing his con- nection with others. resting secure in the belief that he will be ever regarded by his associates as a martyr and hero who died in the discharge of noble duty. The course and conduct of Czoi- gosz from the beginning down to his death are entirely in keeping with this creed And finally the cool and cour- aKeous manner in which he met his death, and the fact that from the day of his arrest until he died. he never uttered a word that could be used against his accompiices, if he had any, and that he died, as aparchists who suf- fer the dealth penalty always die. with out 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 Czoigosz when he assassinated President Mckinley was In all respects . sane man both legally and medically and fully responsible for his act.
 D1. spitzka. who made the autopsy concluded his report as follows:
 There has been found absolutely nc condition of any of the viscera that could have been at the bottom of any mental Arrangement. Taking aii in all the yer dict must ba socially diseased and per sa sd.i hut mot mentally diseased.'
 T.rhe most horrible violations of human iaw cannot always be rondon8d by the plea of insanity. The wild beast sfum- bers in us all. It is not always neces- sary to invoke insanity to explain its awakening"
