Auburn, N. Y.?Loon F. 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."

lb-fore Runerinlendent t'ollins po?M j

"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. Rentemlier "7. having been

Washington. 1?. C.?After having
been mulcr ciiis> oxainimu ion for three
lays before the <'ouri of Inquiry.
Hour-Admiral Schley concluded his
tost iiuony.
The cross-examinalion was ehietlj
in regard to the reconnaissance of May
.'11. ami the battle in which (Vrvera's
Heel was destroyed, including eotisiderahle
questioning in regard to the
Itronkiyn's fatuous "loop/"
.\dntiral Seliley was ettaided to make
some further explanations in regard
to the attack upon the t'olon and his
stateinent to the Senate in relation to
it. lie said he felt that only the
strongest military necessity would
have justified risking the vessels of
his squadron against the fort mentions
in an attack which might have rendered
them inferior to the enemy and
perhaps have induced Orvera to come
out of the harbor with a result that
might have been disastrous. lie declared
he felt that lie had acted in accordance
with the instructions of the
department, for as late as .Inly lit.
even after the destruction of the Span
ish licet, ati order had been received
directing that the vessels should not
in- risked against the forti it cut ion* of
Santiago.
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. They
had reference chiefly t<? the retro
?i*a?lc movement. in whieli tli<? Court
seems Jo 1h> mostly interested. and to
t lie reconnaissance.
It was evident from the <t\iestin'.is
l?y tlio Court that its uiemlicrs niv
