buried there.
Knew the Right Thing.
Does he expect to go to the cemetery at
this particular timer was asked
YES, and if any flowers are required
Michael will furnish what is needed" re-
piled the old man.
When pressed for details, Czogosz said
that he had friends who knew the right
thing to do. and that he always talked with
them before saying anything about his fam
lily affairs.
That the old man has never forgotten or
forgiven the sentence Of death of his son
Leon is proved by the fact that large pic
ture of the assassin adorns the interior Of
the living room and is consta ntly kept
draped in mourning.
Michael Czolgosz is a barber In this city.
He does not make very much money and
the family seems to become poorer each
year.
Wanted a Guard.
w. L. Day. son of Associate Justice Day,
whose residence is near the Mckinley home
in Canton, telephoned police headquarters
for guard to be placed about his house.
He said he had noticed a suspicious looking
man nearby. President Roosevelt was to
be a guest at the Day residence with Vice
President Fairbanks, Gov. Harris and other
distinguished men, and the presence of the
stranger worried the members of the Day
household.
Soon after telephoning the police he re-
ceived the telephone message from Cleve-
land that Michael Czogosz had gone to
Canton. This Information added greatly TO
Mr.. Days fears, and he telephoned the po-
lice headquarters again. Policemen were
hurried to the residence and remained on
guard all night. The house will be closely
guarded today when President Roosevelt is
there, and protection will be furnished the
President while he will be at the funeral
and on the way to and from the cemetery.
