"Then I won't (alk at all," said the -^prisoner sullenly. He changed' his resolution, however, and did break the rule of silence in the death chamber. The 'assassin did not break down. 8$o-:-tly after G o'clock tho clothing fn which he wa-i executed was sent Into tho condemned min's cell and he got up and d rowed himself. A few minute? aft^of. he had finished dressiug a f-ubs'.antlal breakfast was sent to his cfcll. /****? The preliminaries wore exactly like thoae of every other execution. The wltncsscfl gathered In the office of the warden on the^second floor of th pris on at a quarter of 7. A few minutes before ^ tho witnesses wore told to quickly follow the warden and State superintendent of prisons and after walking through the Jong corridor took, their placcs silentiy beside tho death chair in the' execution * room.' Tho Iron noor leading to tho condemn- 1 ed cells was closed, but behind it the warden.? and ns'slst'ants^vere preparing | CzolgC32 for death. The warden wait ed until the witnesses were seated, and then made the usual formal decla latioa, declaring, that those present In the roonj were merely there as wlt ncawgfl a lsgal exocution of a mur- 1 derer, nnd. that under ho cTrcumsJan-4 ces and no' matter what the provoca-' lion, no one was to leave his seat or make any disturbance. Electrician Davis then put upon the arms of tho chair a bank of 22 Incan descent olcctric lamps and attaching thfc electrical wires, passed the current through them, so that the lights glow ed out -brilliantly.. An assistant in the.1, moan timo put tho two electrodes, which were lined with sponges, into] pails of salt Water so as to get them wot ei\ough to prevent the current | from burning tho yipt'm'a flesh. . . After thc-superlntendent had left the guards brought Czolgosz' breakfast, consisting of coffee, tffast, eggs art*! bacon, and berate with quite a goo<K deal of relish. While he was partaking of this the witnesses were gathering in the office of Warden Meade and at 7:06 -WAiock. the proceaslon passed to the death ? li a m ber ijgo 1 n g fHro ngfi TRVTBlf g" | south carrldor. final tbs* OP TUB APPARATUS. tn'the ohamber ElectricIa%.DAvls and Former Warden Thaysr, of Daane mora. had acrangsd the chair test, placing * bank of M Ineabdescent lights aeMB - tbeelect -Tfcs wltn Warden Meade stood directly In front and Electrician Davis retired to the little room containing tho electrical switches.

The guards on either side of CzolgCP'- ha hold of his arms as If either to support him or to keep him from making a demonstration. As he stepped over the threshold he stumbled, but they U1 him up. as they urged him forwar toward the chair he stumbled again on the little rubber covered platform upon which the chair rests, li s head wan erect and with his gray flannel s.;i ? turned back ?t the neck, he I00*0 ' quite boyish.

History's blackest page shows white when compared with tho at rocious crime for whlcj^ Ta-oii 1'. Czolgosz was executed 4o7lay. in spired by anarchistic idea, Czolgosz went to Buffalo where President Mo Kinley waa visitor to tho 1 an Amcrican exposition, determinea u> murder tho executive. I.nte On the af ternoon of September Cth. the presi dent was receiving tho people in the Tom pie of Music in the exposition grounds. In tho line of people who w<Ve passing the President was Czolgosz. . ? As the President turned to -vccfiivo him, he extended his right hand in a ' friendly manner. Czolgosz thrust the extended hand aside and raised a re volver , which he carried concealed in i a handkerchief, fired two shots atrfjio President. Tho assassin made, no at tempt to escape and was speedily dis armed and. hurried away. His only 'words were that he "had done dUtv." ? j The wounded President was to the emengency hospital on the j grounds, where an operation was per formed. Ono bullet struck President McKinley in the chest and the second entered the abdomen. Only one bul let was found. After the operation the President was removed to the home of President Milburn of the Pan-American Exposition and the best medical attendance sought. l<or .several days the President gave ev i erv promise of recovering, but early I on the foiowlng iMday lapse occurred.

It wlis 7 o'clock when Superintendent Col ilns went into the death house and tried to get the prisoner to talk to him.' Although he remained in the ?ell sometime, he was apparently not iuccessful in getting anything from dm. At eight p. m.. Ills brother and brother-in-law arrived, ami Super ntendent Collins took them down to ho condemned man's cell. There was 10 demonstration when they met. O/.olgosz merely stepped to the front ?f his steel cage and said: "Hollo!" The brother ventured, tho remark, "I wish you would tell us, Leon, who *?ot you into this scrape?" The assassin answored In a slow, hesitating manner: "No one; nobody had anything to do with it butN me." "That is not how you were brought MP." na Id the, brother. . "and you ought | o tell us everything now." ' . "I have nothing to tell," he answer ! cd in a surly manner. t "l)o you- want to see the priests > again?" asked hi? brother.

I . The body of Leon Czolgosz, tho mur Icier or President McKinK-y, will not I ')e removed from Auburn. Superlntea ! ,lent of State Prisons Cornelius V. Col lins and Warden J. jfcarren Moad, after 'ifinrH of controversy with C'zol^osz's brother, succeeded in obtaining from ' him the following relinquishment of the family's claims to the remains, when the executioner shall have flu shed his work: "Auburn, N. Y., Oct. 28. "To Warren J. Mead, agent and War den, Altburn Prison: hereby authorize you as warden of Auburn prison Jlo dispose n' the body ?of my brother, Leon F.

"WALDECK CZOLGOSZ." Witnesses: John A. Slelcher, George E.

A museum kecWy in/one of the larger Easte/n 'cities telegraphed him an ot for it $5,000, spot cash, for either the ba/y or tho garments of tho murder er. and the owner of * a klnotoscope wired Warden Mead that ho would pay $2,000 for permission to take a moving picture ot Czolgosz entering the death chamber. The superintendent also had suspicions aroused as to the motives of some of the relatives of Czolgosz in securing the body In viow of their jSaverty npd fhetronblcand dange* priii&lblc In connection with Its removal and dlsposel, The superinten dent chanced to meet Waldeck Czol gosz as he was being escorted to the death cell shortly afier his arrival, and at once took the matter up with him. He as'keiT Czolgosz~if htv tho body. He said he did. Collins then told him that he did not believe it eoufd be ' removed without f.crious "trouble and strongly advised him against the attempt. The plan to take It to Buffalo, where Czolgosz had .as sassinated the President, he regarded as particularly darigo/ouR.
