Czol gos~z was placed on trial today for mLurder of President McKiinley ont Sept. 6 The trial was in the su promo court of Erie Coeunty, Judge Trnman C. White presiding. Th'le trial hegan at 10) o'clock, but long hoforo that hour the streets in the vicinity of tho city hall wore the ob)jective of many curious peorsonJ. They were willing to take chances of being adintitted to the courtroom, oven though they know thbat there wpre but 150O seats aIvailalo. T1he various entrances to tbo groat b)uilding, with the exception of that on Franklin street, weore closed and guard.d. Policemen were every where and rig id discipline was the order of the dlay. Squads of blue coated mon were sta tioned on every landing and in a double line far outside the place of (entrance to keep back the crowds, while in a station not far away re. servos were readly to reinforce the detail on duty should the feelings of the people become aroused to the ex tent. of rioting. Mounted officers p)ace(d slowly around every side of the structure and no one was allowed to stand oun the sidewalk for a mo mnent, so that at no0 time was the crowd large. PR11oNER1 P'LEADs5 (UI lTY. When Czolgosz was arraigned in court today to plead, D)istrict Attor ney Penny read the indictment and asked: "How do you llad ?" Cztot gosz answered that ho did not hear, thus uttering the first wvords ho has spoken in court. The district attor ney read the indictment again andl repeatedl the question as to the p)ris oner's plea. "Quilty" replied (Czol gosz. in a firm tone.

The pris oner's plea was not accepted as his counsel had previously entered a plea of not guilty. The assassin took his seat and the questioning of talesmen was restmed. The quos tions put by Justice Lewis show that the defence will be Insanity. Four jurors were secured when the recess was taken. THEi JUaY SEcUlRED. After the recess the jury was comn pleted and at 2.43 p. im. the full panel was sworn in. Assistant District Attorney Penny then began his address. He reviewed the facts of the shooting. Dr. Gay lord who performed the autopsy on t.he President's body then testified. He told of the wounds and said that the President died of broken down tissues. Dr. Mynter one of the President?s phy3 sicians was then called. Ho said that the President's death was caused b)y Toxaemia. HIe said that the president would have died on the op)eration table if search had then beeni made for the second bullet, lie said the wound was infectious and he did nut know what caused it. Dr. Mann, whlo also attended the President, in his testimony aigreed with the other physicians that the President died from the bullet wound. TPhe court adjourned at four o'clock. Czolgosz maintained a stolid do. mneanor throughout the trial. Great crowds over filled the court room. District Attorney. Penny toldI the judige that he expected to have the ease p)resented for the State by noon tomorrowv. A.n important dlevelopmuent in the case wa'i the aninounoem)lent that no po1io had beeni found onI the bull1ets or the revolver with which the Presi dent was shot.

McDon ald, of New York, the alienist who was brought here for the defense by the Erie county bar association, and Dr. Arthur W. Hurd, superintendent of the Buffalo State hospital. The alienists were with the assassin for one hour and a half and when they left both declined to discuss the case. Although great secrecy was main tainedi at the dlistrict attorney's office it was learned that Dr. Allan Mc. Lane H-amilton, one of the most not ed alienists in the United States, and who was an expert witness at the trial of Guniteau is in Buffalo. HIE HAsN"'T A DOUBT. Not a doubt as to Czolgosz's sanity exists in the mind of District Attor ney Penny, so that it is presumed that Dr. Hamilton is here merely to meet the question of insanity should the defence determine to make a fight oni that groundl. The dlistrict attorney is already fortified wvith the opinion of Dr. .Joseph Fowvler, Dr. Ja9. WV. Putnam andl Dr. Floyd 8. Crego, Buffalo alienists of some note, that Czolgosz is perfectly sane.

The Aeel4Nitt Rtetatiled N,lri+i-rir ,,t De)am.sut or-Oave No Higt of IIeittg A ITectod By Verdict. Buffalo, September 24.-Loon F'. Czolgosz alias Fred Nieman was found guilty today of murder in the first degree by a jury in part ~3 of the supreme court, in having on the 6th day of September shot President William McKinley, the wvounds in. f licted afterwvards resulting in the ,deathl of the p)residlout. The wvhools of justice moved. swift ly. Th'Ie trial of the assassini con sumed eight hours and 26 mijntos and coveredl a period of only two days. Practically all of this timie was occup)ied by the prosecution pro senting a case so clear, so conclusive that even had the prisoner entored a plea of insanity it is doubt ful if the jury would have returned a verdlict different from the one renkderedl to day. The a[nnouincement mad1e this of tornoon by the attorneys for Czolgosz that the eminent alienists suuni:non.ed b)y the Erie county b)ar assocition and by the district attorney to ox amine Czolgosz and( to dltrminoe his exact mental condition had declared him to be perfectly nano, destroyed the only stage of a defen e that J udges Lewis and Titus could have put together.

To all appenranc -s he was in no way affected b)y the result of the trial. The~1 crowd gathered at the city hall today was the largest which has seon him since his arraignment.

Judge) Lewis arose slowly and alcddreHHinrg the court said that the Huddonl close of the case against Czolgosz was a surprise to him and his colleague. They had no witness to call for the defonse, lHe asked the court that he be0 allowed to ad (11088 the jury at once. The court consented and1 the venerable jurist hegan an adldress that will long be remembered by those who heard it. The jury retired at 3.51 to consider the evidence. The scene in the court room then became dramatic in the ox. treme. Decorum was somewhat for gotteni and1 the spectators stood up and1( many walked about the room and engagedi in conversation.

There was no dlispositionl to crowd ab)out the priM. oinor, alit bsough the object of every soui seemedt to be to get into a posi. tion where he could have a full view of his face. Czolgosz had been seat ed in 1his chair all afternoon, his hands clasped1 on tihe arms of the chair and his head bent forward and a little to the left. Thle room was not warm, b)ut hie frequently took his handl(korchief from his pocket and mn'pped the perspiration from his forehead andn cheeks. At [no time dlurinig the atbsenice of the jury did he raise his eyes or lift his head or seem t.o know that lhe was the object of interest of sevocal hundred men and women.
