ANARCHY'S PRODUCT
' Medical Specialists Give Out Their
Final Report.
PROFESSIONAL VIEW OF CZOLGOSZ
Ho _W as Industrious, "l.aw- Abiding,
Religious Until Brought Under tho
Influence of Anarchists.
Buffalo, Special. ? Drs. Fowler.*.
^?REjS?.-5iKi r?wn?i,' the suoclalista
who wero requested by District At
torney Penney to examluo tho mental
condition of Leon F. Cioigosz, the as
sassin ofr> the President, have made
public their report, in which tlioy
state as the result of froquent ex
aminations of Czolgqpz, uf the reports
of hi?*, watchers, and of his behavior
in court, that they have "concluded
th&t ho was sane at tho' time ho
planned tho murder, when lie shot the
President and when ho was on trial."
His first examination was but a few
hom^. after the commission of the
5l^Cfimo and while he was still unin
. formed of the fate of the victim. Dur
ing the (|ir*t three examinations,
Czolgosz answered questions unhesi
tatingly. After that, however, he be
camu more cautions and less com
municative. He had a common school
education, the report says, and he
read and wrote well. During the flr$t
day's examination he said ho planned
killing the President three or four
days after he came to Buffalo. The
report then recites in Czolgosz's own
words the assassin's story of the
murder of President McKlnloy* The
sanity of Czolgosz was held, the re
port says, "from the history of his
3llfo as it came from him." ?
"Ho had boon sober, industrious
ftnd law-abiding; till ho was 21 years
.. ....y? ???.*. I'.e was, as others of bis clas.s,
? a believer In the government of this
country and of the religion of his
' Tathers. After he cast his first vote,
> (h<i made the acquaintance of an
archistlc leaders, who invited him to
their meetings. He was a good llstner
and in a short time ho bad adopted
- their theories. He was consistent In
his adherence to anarchy. Ho did not
believe in government, therefore, ho
refused to Ybte. He did not believe in
marriage, because he did not believe
in law. He killed the President be
cause he was a ruler, and Czolgosz be
lieved as he was taught that all rul
ers were tyrants; that to kill a ruler
would benefit the people. Ho refused
a lawyer because he did not blleve In
law, lawyers or courts.
r"We come to the conclusion that
the holding of these views
was sane, because those opinions were
formed gradually under the influence
; of anarchistic leaders and propagau
/ dists. In Czolgnsz they found a will
and Intelligent tool; one who had
?*-the courage of his conviction, rega d
- Jess of personal consequences. The
most careful questioning failed to dis
cover any hallucinations of sight or
hearing. He bad received no special
command; he did not believe he had
b?#i especially chosen to do the deed.
He always spoke of his motive for the
crime as duty: he always referred to
the anarchists' belief that the killing
of rulers was a duty. He never
claimed that the Idea of killing the
Presldorit'was original with him, but
" the method of accomplishing his pur-,
pose was his, and that he Aid it alone.
His is not A case of paranoia, because
he has no systematized delusions re
verting to self, and because he is in
exceptionally good9condition. and has
an unbroken record of good health.
- Hls-capaeity for labor- -has ? always
been good and equal to that of his
fellows. Those facts all tend to prove
that the man has an unimpaired mind.
He has false beliefs, the . result of
false teaching and not the result of
disease. He is not to be classed as a
degenerate, because we do not And
the stigmata of degeneration. Phvsl
eally. he has not a history of cruelty,
or of perverted tastes and habits. He
Is a product of anarchy, sane and ro
tponsible." *
MURDERED IN COLUMBIA.
A n-chlnlst at Railway Shops Is the
Columbia, Sptclah? Irt tho case of
the death of William Seaver the coro
ner'* Jury Sunday returned a verd ct
that deceased came to his death from
a shot-gun wound Inflicted by A rem*
McCraney and that Harry .b.^ea and
seven others, to the jury unknown, are
accessories to the killing.
This is the most tragic affair which
has occurred In Columbia for months..
It happened In the dead oMilght In a
rotlred and low quarter, yot Its relation
to tyher events make it one of the mo^t
sensational aftalrs in connection y&Ah

Seaver and hinder occupied "l-at/hc
lora' quarters" in a miserable little ca
bin In the midst of a ne^ro settlement
in a dwampy suburb of the city. A Mrs.
McLc&n has been their "housekeeper."
This plaee -efldOUtly has a very unsa
vory reputation.
Saturday night about 11 o'clock, ac
cording to tho testimony of Under,
who Is severely wounded, there was a
knock at the door. "1 went to th?

by these men, one of whom was armed
with a double-barreled shot-gun, and
one with a revolver. They aske 1 me

and as the crowd backed away to sur

"Just as I was about (o step to the

The above testimony was takf-n by
Coroner Green before the wounded man
was removed to the hospital. Although
the homicide occurred about mionig-it,
It was nearly 2 o'clock before tho po

back to the Senate.
?me returns from Tuesday's election
show that in Now York, whero prob
ably the hottest campaign of the year
was carried on. tho fusion ticket,
headed by Seth Low, Republican, for
mayor, was elected over the Democrat
ic. or Tammany, tleket, headed, by Ed
ward M. Shepard, by about 300t)b0 ma
jority. The Republicans were success
ful in Ohio, carrying that State by a
plurality which will aggregate more
than that of two years ago. when Nash
had over 49,000. In Nebraska the Re
publicans have probably defeated the
fuslonlsta by a larger vote than that of
last year. The Democrats claim Mary
land. which probably insures the re
turn of Gorman to the United States.
The Republicans, however, maintain
that they wore successful. The Demo
crats also seem to have been successful
In Kentucky, and tho Louisville Cou

publican candidate for Governor of
New Jersey, Murphy, is e'.ecteJ by
ubout 7,000. Returns from Iowa indi
cate that the Republicans havo carried
the State by pluralities as large as
their estimates. Virginia and Mlssisaip

wo so loved and honored him, and

keeu anxiety for the country and at
tho same time a resolute purpose not
to be driven by any calamity from the
l>ath of strong, orderly, popular liber
ty, which, as a nation, we have thus
far safely trod.
Yet In splto of this great disaster,
It Is nevertheless true -that no peo
ple. ou earth havo such abundant
cause for thanksgiving as we have.
The past year in particular has been
one of peace and of plenty. We havo
prospered In things material and havo
been able to work for our own up
lifting in things intellectual and j
spiritual. Let us remember that, as
much has been given us, much will I
be expected of us, and that true horn- I
age. comes from tho heart as well 113
from the lips and shows itself iu :
deeds. We can best prove our thanks
giving to the Almighty by th?r way in
which, on this earth and at this time,
each of iib docs his duty to his fellow
men. '
Now, therefore, 1, Theodore Koose
velt, President of the United States,
do hereby designate as a day of gen
eral thanksgiving. Thursday, the 2Sth
of thltf present November, and. do re
commend fiat throughout the land
the people cease from their wonted
ecupatlons and -at their several homes,
and places of * worship, reverently
thank the Giver of all good for the
countless blessings of our 'national
life.

Immediately* after Uie reading of
this etatemoBt tho argument In the
caso was begun. Mr. llanna, n/;?in
tant to Judge Advocate l.emly, open
lng for the government. Speaking of
the. run of the (lying squadron from
Key West to Clonfuegoj. Mr. Hinma
claimed that the trip was not mado an
expeditiously aa possible. lie cited
the fact that the Iowa, which went by
way of Havana, made much better
time. Mr. llanna related the particu
lars of t lie meeting between Commo
dore Schley and Captain McCalla, us
the former was on his way to Cien
fuegos. "Captain McCalla," he eaid,
"did not know that Commodore Schley
was on his way to Cienfuegos, while
Commodore Schloy did know that Mc
alla had been there. Under such cir
cumstances," he continued, "tho ordi
nary rules governing tho Intercourse
between senior and Junior officers did1
not pertain. In that case tho burden
of calling for information fell upon
the senior ofllcer. Yet It is In evidence
that (he commodore did not request
anything fjora Captain McCalla."
Mr. llanna presented the following
points toverlng the3e specifications^
which he paid he had mado Id the
Jorm of iftquiries:
1. Why the flying squadron was dil
atory In arriving at Cienfuegos. <
2. Why tho squadron was held thern
after the receipt of Sampson's ord<Jr
?written and dated off Havana, May 21,
saying: MBe at Santiago, May 24."
3. Why nothing was done to "commu
nicate wlth -UiA-^pGUSlt^-jifter the re
ceipt of tho McCalla mem6candutn,8:15
May 23; and particularly why the
threeMlght signals which had attrac
ted tho admiral, were not investigated
after Commodore Schley learned that
there were Cubans In the neighbor
hood where such slgnala were dis
played, ?
4. Why order No. 6, directing that

from continuing work on certalu ^n;>w

6. Tho nature and causes of the cur
rent said to hay? accounted for . the
steaming of the ships off shoro at

7. Why alter learning positively
that the Spanish squadron was fcnot
