Auburn, N. Y., Oct. 29.--AL 7.12 o'clock this morning Leon (Izolgosz, murderer of Pi esident MnhKinl ey, paid the extreme penalty exacted by the law for his crime. He was shocked to death l-y 1,700 volts of electricity. He went to the chair in exactly the same manner in which have the majority of murderers in this State, showing no particular sign of fear, but in fact, doing what few of themn have done-talking to the witnesses while lie was being strapped in the chair. Czolgosz retired1 last night at 10 o'clock and slept so soundly that when Warden Mead went to the cell shortly before 5 o'clock this morning tse guard inside bad to shake Czol sto awaken him. He sat up ori the "dge of his cot and made(1 no re ply to' ie warden'sagreeting of "good mornmDg. The pri on official took from his - pocket the d2jTJ" Jrrant and read it slowly and distinctly to m aOssassHin who hardly raised his eyes > him1 during the perfunctory ceremony. Just as the warden stepped away from the cell (door, Czvlgosz clalled1 to him and said: "I would like to talk with the su perintendent." The warden responded: "He will b)e down presently." Then the condemned man rolled over on his cot apparently anxious to sleep again. At 5.15 the guard bronght to him a pair of dark trousers with the left leg slit so as to allow the free appli Scation of the electrode, and a light gray outing shirt. He was told to get up and put these on, which he did. & Contrary to the usual custom, he 0 Combined I BIG SHOW WCTI UTIL OF - RE WITH ITS - 3 Big Cie ned Menageri Rail Road ap Excursions of was given a t,ew pair ofsh .Whn dressed he laid down on t he cot again and in thits attitude Superintendent Collins found him at 5.30 when he wont down to visit him.

WVardon Mond gave the signal to have the prisoner brought in, and at 7.10 1-2 o'clock Chief Kooper Tiuppor iwuug open the big steel door lead ing to the condemnod cells, and as the stool bars behind which Czolgosz had boon kept wore swung aside two nards marchedl the prisoner out in Lo the corridor, two others followving, mid thle chief kroper walking in (rout. The11 guards on oit her side of Czol. or had1( hold( of his arms as if either Lo support himt, or to keop hun from naking a demonstration. As lie ~tepped over the threshold lie stAlm >led, but, they held him up, and an Lhoy urged him forward towvard the .hiair lhe stumled again on the rub. >er -covered plat for m u poni wh ichi he chair rests. His head was erect,' ind with his gray flannel shirt turn-. d b)ack at the neck, ho lookodl quite boyish. lie was intensely pale and is lie triedt to t hrowv his head backi ~nd earry himself erect his chin nivored1 percephtiNy. As lhe was be nig seaitedl he looked aib:ut at th~e ansoumld witnesses with qite a teady stare and saiid: "'I killed the president hocauiise he vas an onmy of t he good peoplte."' -f t.he workinig people."' His voice ~rombhledl slightly at Iirst, but gained trength with each wordl, andi as he POke it was perfoot English. "'I amr niot sorry for moy crimo,"' he aid loudily, just as the guard pushed uis hteado back on the rubber head est, and dIrew the straps across his orehoad and chin. As the pressure >i theo straps tightened anid bound the jawv tightly, lie mrumbih,d: "I am awfully sorry I cool ntot :eo my fat her." It was exactly 7. 11 o'clock when lie crossed the threshol, hat a mini rite had elapsod and he had just fin ished the last staitomnt when the trapping was comnpleted ai.d the uards st0opped back. WVaidonj Mo..d aised his hand, and at 7:12.80 Elec. trician Davia turned1 the switch that 3 3 UeU f, N Do iginoT thew1,0 vots letii, i o tho lvingbody tTher offecurn Che h bod tohe agans Bhitrpta they livinakod.retby h ad cIOlied sulddenlly anid the whole at tituido was 0one of (oxtremoi tenisoeiiss. For 45 secondls thie fuill current wasI kept on anid then slowly the electri cian threw the ewit ch back, reducing the current volt by volt unil it was cut off entirely. Then just, as it had reached that point he t-hrowv the lever b)ack again for two or three second. TJjhe body, wvhich had collapsed as a'; the current was reduced, stiffenedl uip again againsrt the st rapls. When it wals turned off again, Dr. Macdon~i ald steopped up to tbe chair and put his hand over the heart, lie said lie felt no pulsation buit suggested that the currenit be0 tuned on for a few secondls again. Once more the body became rigid. From the timo Czolgosz had left his cell until tihe full penalty was p)aid, less than four mrinutos had elapsed. The physicianis present used the stethoscope and ot her tests to determine if any life remained, anid at 7.17 the warden, raising his hand announced Czo)lgosz' dleadl. The witnessos filed from the cham. ber, manry of them visibly affected, and the body was taken from the chair atnd iaid on the operating table. When the body of Czolgosz had been removed from the room where hie was killed, to the autopsy table, Auburn p)rison returned to the roil. tine of its ordinary life. The pris oners who had been kept locked in their cells, were released at 7.45 o'clock anid prison work was resumed at once. T1here was no excitement amnonig the c'onvicts. Searcely a hun - dred'l pooib had gat hered outside the prison gate to watch the witnesses entor an.l wait- until they reappeared.
