NO DELAY IN TJ
GUILTY OF MURDER IN FIRST DEGREE
SENTENCED TO BE EXECUTED OCTOBER 28,
The trial of Leon F. Cr.lgoez alias
Fred Nieman was begul hi the city
of Buffalo on Monday, Sept. 23, and
was ended at 4 o’elork on Tuesday
afternoon, Sept. 24. President Mc
Kinley was shot on the Gth of iiiep-
tember, and his death resulted from
the wounds inflicted on the 14lh of
September.
The wheels of justice moved swiftly.
The trial of the assassin consumed
eight hours and . twenty-six minutes,
and covered a period of only two days.
Practically all of this time was occu
pied by the prosecution prcsent'ng a
case so clear, so conclusive that even
ha 1 the prisoner entered a plea <>(' in
sanity it is doubtful if the jury would
have returned a verdict different from
♦.he oue rendered.
The announcement made by the at-
* irneys for Cozlgosz that the eminent
alienists summoned by the Krie Bar
association and by the district attorney
to examine Czolgosz and to deteimiue
his exact mental condition, had de
clared him.to be |>crfectly sane, de
stroyed the only stage of a defence
that Judges l.<ewi* and Titus could
Have pill together.
The crowds gathered at the city
hall where the court convene^'jg-re

a trial. In the case of murder, he must
have a trial. You sat thefe and lis
tened to the defendant’s plea of guilty
when he was arraigned at the opening
of this term, but the law of our Stile
will not permit him to plead guilty to
such a crime as this. The law is so
careful of l^e rights of its citizens that
it will not pei mil. a man to plead guilty
to this crime of murder, so that, even
after be had conceded his guilt iu this
case, it was incumbent upon ihe court
to insist that the trill should proceed,
and that the people should' establish
beyond a reasonable doubt that the
defendant was guilty of the crime
charged against him.
There are in our country indivi
duals, not, I hope, in any very large
number, but we know they are scat
tered all over our country, who think
that in a case like this or even in
charges of much less* degree^ it is en
tirely proper that the case should t>e
disposed of bv lynch or mob law. We
can hardly take up a paper without we
learn that in some j art of this five ami
md 'penitent eoutiwy some man has
been murdered on the suspicion or be
tirf that he was guilty of some' er.me.

i is an unan hist, a man who sloes W»r
ings of that trial and listened to the de
fense that Mr. Seward interposed. Not
that lie c^ied anything for the negro,
but he wanted to maintain the law
giving every man a trial and to put
down mob violence.
“ This trial hefti is a great object les
son to the world. Here is a case where
a man has stricken down the beloved
President of this country, in broad
daylight, in the preseuce.of hundreds of
thousands oL spectators. If there was
ever a case that would excite the an
ger, the wrath of those who saw it, this
was one, and yet, under tip advice of
the President, ‘Let no man hurt him,’
he was taken, contined in our prison,
indicted, put upon trial here and the
case is soon to he submitted to you, as
to whether he is guilty of the crime
charged against him. That, gentle
men, speaks volumes in favor of the
city of Buffalo.
“’Here was a man occupying an ex
alted position, a man of irreproachable
character; he was a man who had come
haulage from forest to factory and back
again to its market, which might be
within sight of the place where it was
cut.

As workmen they are generally order

thcmselves so quickly and naturally to
conditions so different from those to
which they were born. In this class of
labor the South has a safe basis for an
industrial development as extensive
and as vailed as its resources permit.
Like the cotton mills, the furniture
factories of tbe South have been ex
ceedingly profitable. So far as I could
learu theie have been no conspicuous
exceptions to the rule. M< st of them
are paying regulat dividends of from
10 to 2.) per cent, per annum aud some
have done much better than this.
The stocks of. these mills are mrely
purchasable, ouly cotnii g into the mar
ket when estates are divided and then
being taken at high premiums by those
desirous of increasing their previous
holdings. The investment in enter
prises of this class will average about
$20,000 for all the plants in operation.
The average for ihe cotton mills is
necessarily much higher. The busk
ness is oaa which promises a rapid
development and diversification.

Tbe following is the *f>eccli of Judge
Lewis in behalf of the prisoner:
. Judge Iicwis said that the sudden
close of the case against Gxolgosz wa*
a surprise to him and his colleague.
They had no witness to call fur the
defense. He asked the court that he
be allowed to address tbe jury atouce.
The court consented aud the venerable
jurist began an address that will long
be remembered by those who heard it.
Judge,Lewis said :
“Gentlemen of the Jury : A calamity
has fallen upon this nation through tbe
act of this man, but the question is
whether his act was the act an in
sane mitn. If an insane man, it is not
murder, and he should be acquitted of
that charge. He would then, of course,
be transferred to an insane asylum.
“ Much discussion has occurred in
our midst and has been called to my
attention as to the propriety of any de
fense being interposed in this case.
Many letters have been received by me
since I was assigned with my associate
to defend this man, questioning the
propriety of a defense being attempt
ed. You gentlemen know, perhaps,
how Judge Titus aud myself came into
this case. The position was not sought
by us, but we appear here in pe.ffor
mance of a duty which we thought tie
volved upon us, notwithstanding it was
an exceedingly disagrreable one
“ The defendants’ counsel appear
here, because, under our system of
jurisprudence, no man can be placed
•on trial for the high crime of murder,
the penalty of which, under the law is
death, without he haa tbe assistance of
counsel. The court has the power to
' leaignate counsel, and it is the duty of
the counsel thus designated to appear
in the case unless they can make some
reasonable exeme and succeed id being
jreheved of the duty.

ous a crime be has com mil* ed, is ea-

I remember, gentlemen, when l
was a young luan living in Auburn
studying my profession, the news came
that a colored man had gone upon the
shores of Owasco lake and there had
practically murdered au entire family
named Van Ness. The news created
intense excitement. The people
gathered on the street to hear the
news. In the course of the afternoon
it was learned that the man, Freeman,
had been ai rested and was beiftg
brought to the city to he incarcerated.
The people upon the streets became
more and more excited. They begin
to talk about mobbing tbe colored man
when he arrived. William H. Seward,
who lived then in,that city, appeared
upon the street a id counselled modera
tion, counselled the people to wait and
see whether the mart was really'guilty
of the crime or not, and permit him to
have a legal trial. But the people pro
tested. He was guilty, they said, gnd
must be disposed of. Mr. Seward in-
insisted -ami-U*»y-^can:e raxed - .I’kik-

that Mr. Seward had volunteered to
defend the negro when he was put oh
trial and indignation arose against him,
but that far-seeing man, that states
man, saw that there was an opportuni
ty of giving au object lesson to the
world as to the proper disposition ol
that case, aud for two long months tha.

the negro. It occupied some three

So much Rjftiiliou ‘ ha* been attracted

part to the fact that the relatively small
investment demanded for ilic equip
ment of a w<khJ-working shop, a* corn-
area with a plant of spindles and
looms, has permitted the development
to.be made with local capital, aud that
the Northern States have very little in
terest in tbe business. It does not
compare with tbe cotton manufactur
ing industry, either in the uumbex of
establishments or of capital invested,
but it is very profitable, is rapidly-
growing and promises a development
in tbe near future which will make it
of national as well as of local impor

When the inspiration*, of progress
seized the South, and those with am
bition for something better than the
idle life of the plantation, which never
was half as att:active or luxurious as
those who know it only from 'audition
boJieve it to have been, began to look
about them for ways of making a living
more profitable than “making cotton ”
with free labor, lumbering in the moun

with conservative forestry, nature will

the conservation of their timber wealth
is of consequence. Thus far it has been
.quite neglected.
The labor supply available for the
l uruiture factories is drawn from the
same class as that of the cotton mills.
The latter offer employment to famil
ies and are especially attractive to wo
men, who prefer them to the barren

Furniture making requires a some

boy of ir yekra was hurried away byli
kind-hearted man, and the little gbl of
7 by another. Just then tha order
came from the board of physicians to
remove all tbe children immediately,
and James was hurried ou a schooner
bound for Boston, and Carolina on
another boumT for Savannah. They
did not meet nor kiss a sad farewell,
nor know of each other’* fate nor where
they were going. What grief was
theirs! What briny Lears! Bereft!
Bereft! that is tbe word, for it
means snatched away. Yaa, I knew
something about these orphans,
for this same Caroline was my moth
er, and many a time have I sat
at her knee and listened and wept
over the sad story ot her oiphanage.
How in a day she lost her parents and
her brother, and was left alone without
a relative this side of the tea.
She waa placed in tbe orphan asylum
in Savannah and was cared for by good
people until she was 10 yean old, when
one day a good lady came in a flna
carnage to choose and adopt a child.
The orphans were all clad 111 their bast
garments and gathered in the grant
big company room and after they war*
seated the grand lady went round and
round talking kindly to one aod anoth
er aud after Tong inspection stopped at
Caroline aod said, “ 1 will take this
one.” The poor girl was alarmed and
cried with grief at being separated
from those sne had learned to love.
The great lady waa the mother of Rev.
Dr. Gouldtng and the grandmother of
Frank Goulding, who wrote the pretty
story of “Young Merooncfs.” In tha
meantime Carolina’s brother had been
placed jn an orphans’ asylum in
Boston, and after two ygnra-he was
taken:heme bv a wealthy gantleman of
