Czoljrosz, the assassin of President McKinlcy. \vsis put i<> death in the lAuburu Prison , tti 7.1- a. in. Tuesday; The electric current, of 170(> volts, was turned on three times before he was pronounced dead. No fear was shown by the assassin. and his last declaration was that he was not sorry Hor Ills crime. His watchers said thpt he slept well <luriu? his last night on earth, apparently unconcerned at th'e approach of death. Half an hour before the execution the assassin stilted to SuperinInteiidcnt. Collins and Warden Mead that lie wanted to nuike a statement "when there are a lot of people to hear me." Wlieu tohfl that be could mot do that he said hit would not talk nl all. but be later ohV' tgtd his mind. There was no nniLstinl incident i?? mark tlm execution. The witnesses gathered in 11m otHcel of tin- warden at ? !."? o'clock. Dr. Carlos F. Mellonaid. of New York City'. and Dr. (Serin, of Auburn. xvoro the physicians. Shortly before 7 the party was taken to the death chamber, ami its members. after being plaeetd about the electric chair, were cautioned not to leave It heir seats under any eireuntstanees. After a let of tlm apparatus Warden Mead gave the signal for the prisoner to he brought in. As> he Stopped over alio threshold of the death chamber ihe assassin stumbled, but the guards held him up. lie stiuubled again on the little rubber-covered platform upon which the chnir rests. lie was a ery pale. As he was hoing Seated he looked about at the witnesses with a steady stare and said: "1 killed the President because he was an enetny of the good people?of the working people.") His voice trembled slightly at lirsi. Inn gained strength. ^ "l am not sorry for my crime." he said loudly, as the guard pushed his head back on the rubber headrest and drew the strap across his forehead and chin. As the pressure on the straps tightened he mumbled: "I'm sorry 1 could not see my father." He had barely finished this utterance when the strapping was completed and the current V/as turned on. It was kept on fnil for forty-live seconds, cut off. turned on for a few seconds and then, after an examination of the . body by physicians, again turned on for a few seconds. It was at 7.17 that Warden Mead, raising his hand, said: "fientlemen, the prisoner is dead/' When the body <>f the assassin had been removed to tho autopsy table the prisoners who had been kent locked iii iheir colls were 1'elensed and work was rrxiimcd. Thefro was no excitement anions: the convicts and no unusual scenes about the prison. Tin' autopsy was made by I>r. Kdwanl Spit7.Ua. under tno immediate supervision and direction of 1 ?r. t'atlos I'. MeHonald and Jj>r. .lolm tlrrin. the prison physician. fTlie autopsy occupied over three liotirs and embraced a careful examination of till the organs of the body. The examination revealed a perfectly healthy state of all the organs, Including the lira in. After the autopsy the body was plaeed in a black (stained pine coilin. Shortly afterward it was taken to the prison cemetery aiul an extraordinary precaution taken ti!? completely d 'siroy ii. A carboy of add was obtained and poured upon the; body in the ooftin after H imd been lowered into the grave. Straw was used in the four corners of the grave as the earth was put 111 to give vent to such gases as might form. It was the belief of the pnyse-uins ifint tin* liotl.v "would l>o entirely disintegrated "within twelve hours. After the execution Warden Mend said: "l wont to Ozolgosz'f* roll at r?."0 mid toiuI the death warrant to him. The guards sail! he had slept like a ha by. Mo half rose up as I read the warrant, said nothing, and dropped back when 1 finished. A small breakfast was given him and it.- ate sparingly, lie risked for no priest, and that is why there was no clergyman In attendance." t'zolgosz held ids last two interviews on Monday night, the first with Superintended Collins. and the second with Wnhleck Cjmlgosz, his brother, and Wnhleck Bauduwski, his brotherin-law. Coih the Interviews were brief, and the interviewers did most of the talking, until the question of religion was mentioned, when Czolgosz broke front his seeming lethargy and violently denounced the church and ihe clergy and made his relatives j>;o. that there should be no service for him. living or dead. It was 7 o'clock when Superintendent Collins went into Ihe death house and tried to get the prisoner to talk to liini. Although lie stayed in the cell some time, he apparently was not successful in getting anything material from liiin. At 8 o'clock the brother and brotherIn-lnw arrived and Superintendent Collins took thoni down to the condemned man's cell. There was no demonstration when they met. Czolgosz merely Ktepped to the front of his steel cage and said: ,. Y 4 s. ? ^ FC "Hollo!" The brother ventured to remark. "T wish von would tell us. Loon, wlio irot you into this serane?" The assassin answered in r. slow, hesitating way. "Xn one: nobody had anvtlifne to do with it except me." "That is not how you were brouplit up." said the brother, "arid you ought to tell us everything now." "T haven't got anything to tell." lie answered in a surly manner. "Do you want to ye the priests again?" asked liis brother. And lie answered with more vehemence than he had previously shown: "No; don't sent them here a train; I don't want l tliem." The hrotlier-in law intersected here: "That's riir'it. Leon." The brother looked rather disturbed by ilie answer. Then stepping np close to the liars the coiidennird man said: "And don't you have anv proving over me when I'm dead. 1 don't want it. T don't want any of their religion." i nere was n nam; ?nuse of :i few minutes. ami tlion i; relatives resiiidi <1 casual con vers ' >n wltli liini. to which lio replied it? monosyllables until tlip brother-in law suggested, nmcli to Superintendent Coliina's sur prise. that ho anil tlu> brother bp perluhled to witness th?* execution. lb-fore Runerinlendent t'ollins po?M j renlv T.eon Fzolsrosz said: "Yes. Mr. Superintendent. let them spo me killed." Superintendent Collins told the trio in einnhatie terms that no sip-li th'ntr could be allowed and ordered them te sav jrood-by. Czolgosz walked to the baek of liis cell, sat down on tlie edtre of lvs ent and did not answer tlie last farewell. Czolgosz had been an inmate of the nrison sinee early on the morning of Friday.

It was developed during tin* crossexamination that Admiral Schley had matl?? a report of the battle to Admiral Sampson which did not reach lite Navy Department. This was because Ad tniral Sampson had returned It to Schley, for the reason that it did not mention the New York. The Court nctim: under a former ruling, derided that this report could not be introduced into evidence, but Admiral Schley was allowed to make a statement based upon it. lie said that he thought the victory was big enough for till, and that even if the New York was not there he would make a second report in generosity to Admiral Sampson. It was this second report which reached thi> Navy Department. When questioned .as to the loop. Ad tniral Schley declared that if the turn had not been made, sitnl the vessel had been sacrificed, our squadron might have lost the day. lie regarded It as a very important move, and being on deck he accepted the responsibility for it. Still, lie did not mention it in his report, as lie regarded it only as an incident in the great events of that day. The Court propounded a nun In r <f questions when the cross-examination had been concluded, but in none of them was the battle referred to.
