TRIAL OF M'KINLEY'S
 ASSASSIN

On September 6, 1901, as President Mckinley was holding a reception Tn the Temple of Music at the Buffalo Ex- position, he was shot twice by Leon CZolgosz as he was shaking hands with the president The assassination had evidently been planned with care. over his right hand the assassin wore a white handkerchief, as if the hand was bandaged. Beneath this handkerchief he had concealed short barreled Der ringer revolver.
 A little girl was immediately ahead of Czolgosz in the line, and the presi- dent. after batting her kindly on the head, turned with a smile of welcome and extended his hand. The assassin thrust out both his hands, brushed aside the presidents right hand with his left hand, lurched forward against the president and, thrusting his right hand close against his breast, he pulled the trigger twice
 Czolgocz was a self-avowed disciple of anarchy, and at .the time claimed that he alone was responsible for the crime, having had no assistants. He persisted in this statement to the end, and the trial developed TO other names connected with the assa ssination.
 The assassin was a Pole and lived in Cleveland up to a very short time be- fore going to Buffalo. At one time he kept a saloon in Cleveland and later worked in an iron mill He had been born in Alpena, Mich, and was only a little over twenty years of age. His father was born in Posen county, Brumburg, coming to America thirty years before the sons crime. He was considered a poor but peaceful citizen IS were the other children of the family.
 As soon as the assassin had accomp-
 lished the deed he was seized by s. R
 Ireland, of the United States Secret
 Service, taken into q side room for feal of the angry crowd wreaking ven- geance upon him, and was then hur- ried off to station house No. 1 and was thrown into an underground cell. Or the following Monday he made a writ ltH SldltilleIl, m WHICH lie GtlleTdltt
 his first story that he was alone in th' crime.
 President Mckinley died on Saturda, morning, September IA and his buria | took place on September 20 at his hom' in Canton, Ohio. CZolgosZ. the mur derer was arraigned before Judge Ed ward K Emery in the county cour
 on September r on an indictment fo | murder in the first degree
 | Czolgosz was placed on trial ol | Monday morning. September 23, be | fore Justice Truman C. White. one o | the oldest and most experienced su

 short time to secure a jury The frs day was given over to witnesses o 1 the shooting and expert testimony iron 1 physicians and surgeons.
 The trial was continued throughou
 the following day up to 3:51 in tn l IaftPrDoOn and verdict eof er1,iItx n

murder in the first degree was re- turned in just thirty-five minutes. The entire trial of the assassin consumed only eight house and twentysix min utes
 During the entire trial CZolgosZ sat in a chair with his hands clasped on the arms and with his head bent for ward and a little to the left. He seemed to pay no attention to what was going on around him. Every now and then he would take a handker- chief from his pocket and mop his brow although the day was not warm, show ing the mental excitement under which he was laboring. At no time during | the absence of the jury did he raise l his eyes or lift his head.
 After the verdict had been brought in | the prisoner was returned to his cell and the judge called him into the court again on the 26th to receive his sen tence which was electrocution at Au
 burn state prison during the week be- | ginning October 2Sth.
 | CZolgosZ was electrocuted at quar- | ter after seven o'clock on the morning | of October 20, 1700 volts being passed
 through his body. He slept so sOundly
 the whole night before his execution
 that when the prison warden called him to prepare for the end, he had to
 shake him strenuously to awaken him. Immediately after execution an eX- i animation of the prisoners brain was
 made and it was found to be normal.
 A brother and brother in law were at Auburn on the day of the electrocution,
 but they were refused permission to
 see the prisoner before his death or the
 body afterwards. The father remained in Cleveland and was at the local of flee of the Associated Press, accom- panied by his two sons, when word was
 received that Leon had been executed and buried

CHEAP MOCCAs|Ns
 FOR CHEAP BUYERS
But They Are Worth Little Except
 to be Given Away

A lady called at Balkes Big Curio store yesterday to make a complaint, a very unusual incident in that in stitution Said she: My little girl had a pair of moccasins bought here which were not genuine Indian moe casins. They were a present to her on Christmas from a friend who bought them here. They were not Indian moccasins.'
 Then" said MT. Bake, they were not sold for Indian moccasins. I can explain this to you. We have had so many calls from pikers who want ed moccasins at prices much lower than we could sell Indian moccasins for, that I bought a lot of moccasins for those who wanted to buy cheap Christmas presents. That was the kind of moccasins your friend bought and we did not sell them to her for Indian moccasins. We never sell these cheap moccasins except as a last resort I would rather sell one pair of genuine Indian moccasins than hundred pairs of these cheap moccasins and before we sell a pair of the latter we always explain the kind they are and exhaust every argument in favor of the genuine moccasins.'
 The stock of Indian moccasins at Balkes Big Curio store consists of those made by Alaska Indians of seal skin and those made by the Black feet Indians of moosehide. Both are very handsome and durable. Some are decorated and others are plain Some of the moosehide moccasins are sewed with sinew, and are practically indestructible They cost little more than the imitation mOccasins but one pair of them is worth hun dred pair of the cheap ones.-(Ad- vertisement)
