 Effect on Czolgosz.
 What wonder that the weak and excit- able brain of Czolgosz answered to such impulses as these?" said the speaker He never knew Mckinley; he had no real or fancied wrongs of his own to asenge against Mckinley or Mckiney's government he was answering to the les son he had learned that it was service to the interest of mankind to rid tine
