CZOLGOSZ WAS SANE
REPORT OP THE AUTOPSY OK THE
ASSASSIN'S BODY.
Examination ShOTred That the Brain,
Was Normal or Sllshtly Above
Details of the Execution.
AUBURN. 2C. T Oct. 29. Almost the
entire attention of the physicians as
signed to hold the autopsy on. the- body
of Czolgosz -was directed towards discov
ering, if possible, -whether the assassin
was in any way mentally Irresponsible.
The autopsy was conducted by Dr. Carlos
F. MacDonald, E. A. Spitzka and Prison
Physician Gerin. The top of the head was
sawed off through the thickest part, of the
skull, which was found to be of normal
thickness, and It was the unanimous
agreement of the microscopical examina
tion that the brain was normal or slight
ly above normal. This-demonstrated to
the satisfaction of the physicians that in
no way was,Czolgosz.'s mental condition,
except .as it"mlght have been, perverted,
responsible for the crime. The autopsy
was completed shortly before noon, when
the surgeons Issued the" following brief
statement:
"The autopsy was made -by .Hr, Ed
ward A. Spitzka, of New York, under
the immediate supervision and direction of
Dr. Carlos F. MacDonald, of. New York,
and Dr. John Gerin, prison physician. The
autopsy occupied over three hours, and
embraced a careful examination of all the
bodily organs, Including the brain. The
examination revealed a perfectly healthy
state of all the organs, including the
brain.
"All of the physicians who attended the
execution were presenttat the autopsy,
and all concurred In- the findings of the
examiners. "
'JOHN GERIN. 3L IX,
"CARLOS P. MACDONALI, M. B.
"E A. SPITZKA."
The long report prepared this afternoon
by the autopsy surgeons related entirely to
the brain and was of a highly technical
character. After scientifically describing
to the minutest detail the brain of the
murderer, the report concludes as fol
lows: "No anomalies were found. The brain
in general is well developed, sufficiently
marked with fissures, and the lobes are of
normal proportion."
The surgeons have not yet drawn a
report on what the autopsy disclosed as
to the other organs.
The body was placed in a black-stained
pine coffin, every portion of the anatomy
being replaced under the supervision of Dr.
'Gerin and Warden Mead. Shortly after
ward it was taken to the prison, ceme
tery and extraordinary precautions taken
completely to destroy it. A few days ago,
under the warden's order, an experiment
was made to determine the power of
quicklime in the destruction of flesh and
bone, which was not satisfactory. War
den Mead conferred with some of the
physicians present, and determined, In
conjunction with Superintendent Collins,
that as the purpose of the law was the
destruction of the body, it was not neces
sary to use quicklime for that end. Ac
cordingly, a carboy -of acid was obtained
and poured upon the body in the coffin
after it had been lowered into the grave.
Straw was used in the four corners of the
grave as the earth was put in to give
vent to such gasses as might form. It is
the belief of the physicians that the body
will be entirely disintegrated within 12
hours. During that time and as long as
is deemed necessary a guard will be kept
over the unmarked grave.
DETAILS OF THE EXECUTION.
Three Charge of Electricity Sent
Through, the Assassin's Body.
AUBURN, N. Y-, Oct. 29. Czolgosz re
tired last night at 10 o'clock, and slept
so' soundly that when Warden Mead went
to the cell shortly before 5 o'clock, the
guard inside had to shake the prisoner
to awaken him. He sat upon the edge of
bis cot and made no reply to the war
den's greeting of "good morning."
The prison official took .from his pocket
the death warrant and read it slowly and
distinctly to the assassin, -who hardly
raised his eyes during the perfunctory
ceremony. Just as the warden stepped
away from the cell door, Czolgosz called
to him and said:
"I would like to talk with the superin
tendent." The warden responded: "He
will be down presently."
Then the condemned man rolled over
on his cot, apparently anxious to sleep
again.
At 5:15, however, the guard brought him
a pair of dark trousers, with the left leg
silt jso as to allow the free application
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 was given a new pair
of shoes. When dressed he laid down on
the cot again, and in this attitude Super
intendent Collins found him at 5:30, when
he went down to visit him.
The superintendent stood In front of
the steel bars, and when the guard had
called Czolgosz attention, he said:
"I want to make a statement "before
you kill me."
What do you wish to say, Czolgosz?"
asked the superintendent.
"I want to make it when there are a
lot of people present. I want them tr
near me," said the prisoner.
"Well, you cannot," said the superin
tendent. "Then I won't talk at all,' said the
prisoner, sullenly.
After the superintendent had left, the
guards brought Czolgosz' breakfast, con
sisting of coffee, toast, eggs and bacon,
and be ate with quite a good deal of
relish. While he was partaking of this,
the witnesses were gathering in the offices
ot Warden Mead, and at 7:0S the proces
sion passed to the death-chamber, going
through the long south corridor.
In the chamber. Electrician Davis ana
ex-Warden Thayer, of Dannemora, had
arranged the chair test, placing a bank of
22 incandescent lights across the arms
and connecting the electrode wires at
either end. The witnesses were ordered
seated, and then Warden Mead briefly
addressed them, saying:
"'You are here to witness the legal
death of Leon F. Czolgosz. I desire that
you keep your seats and preserve abso
lute silence in the death-chamber, no
matter what may transpire. There are
plenty of guards and prison officials to
preserve order and attend to the proper
details."
The prison physician. Dr. Gerin, and
Dr. Carlos F. MacDonald, of New York,
took a position to the left of the chair,
Warden Mead stood directly in front, and
Electrician Davis retired to the little
room containing the electrical switch
board. Thayer gave the signal and the
current was turned through the electric
lights, flooding the chamber with brilliant
light and dramatically shotting the power
that was used to kill the prisoner. War
den Mead gave the signal to have the
prisoner brought In, and at 7:10:30 o'clock
Chief Keeper Tupper swung open the big
steel door leading to the condemned cell6,
and as the steel bars behind which Czol
gosz bad been kept were swung aside two
guards marched the prisoner out into the
corridor, two others following, and the
chief keeper walking in front.
The guards on either side of Czolgosz
bad bold of his arms, as if either to sup
port him or to keep him from making a
demonstration. As he stepped over the
threshold he stumbled, but they held him
up, and as they urged him forward toward
the chair he stumbled again on the little
rubber-covered platform upon which the
chair rests. His head was erect, and with
his gray flannel shirt turned back at the
neck, he looked quite boyish. He was in
tensely pale and as he tried to throw his
bead back and carry himself erect his
chin quivered very perceptibly.
As he was being seated he looked about
at the -assembled witncrses tntn quite a
steady stare, and said:
"J killed the President because be was
J an enemy of the good people of thej
wording people." '
His voice trembled slightly at first but
gained strength with eaco word; and he
poke perfect English, "
"I am not sorry for my crime," he saldv
loudly just as the guard pushed hhfhead
back oh the rubber head-rest and 'drew
the strap across his .forehead andchin.1
As the pressure, on the straps .tightened
and bound the jaw tightly, he mumbled:
"I am awfully sorry I could not see my
father."
It was just exactly 7:11 o'clock when he
crossed the threshold; but a minute had
elapsed, and he bad just finished the last
statement, when the strapping was com
pleted and the guards stepped back.
Warden Mead Talsed his hand, and at
7:12:30 Electrician Davis turned the switch
that threw 1700 volts of electricity jnto
the living body.
The rush of the current threw the body
so hard against the straps that they
creaked perceptibly. The bands clinched
suddenly and the whole attitude was; one
of extreme tension. For 45 seconds the
full current was kept on, and then slowly
the electrician threw the switch back,
reducing the current volt by volt until
it was cut off entirely. Then, just as It
had reached that point, he threw the lever
back again for two or three seconds. The
body, which had collapsed as the current
was reduced, stiffened up again against
the straps. When it was turned off again
Dr. MacDonald stepped to the chair and
put his hand over the heart. He said he
felt no pulsation, but suggested that the
current be turned on for a few seconds
again. Once more the body became rigid.
At 7:15 the current was turned off for
good.
From the time Czolgosz had left his
cell until the full penalty was paid, less
than four minutes had elapisedt The
DhVElelans nresent used the stethoscope
and other tests to determine If any life
remained, and at 7:17 the warden, raising
his hand, announced:
"Gentlemen, the prisoner is dead."
The witnesses filed from the chamber,
many of them visibly affected, and the
body was taken from the chair and laid
on the operating table. "
Rev. Cordelle Herrlck, chaplain of the
prison, was in the death chamber, ready
for any call that might be made for his
services. He was not wanted by the
prisoner, however.
The clothing and personal effects of the
prisoner were burned under the direction
of Warden Mead shortly after the execu
tion. Prison Superintendent Collins made the
following statement to the Associated
Press:
"I have decided for the present that we
will not destroy any of the hundreds of
letters written 'to the warden, Czolgosz
and myself. Eventually they will be de
stroyed, but it has struck me that perhaps
we should make a list of them, especially
of those letters signed with full and proper
names, In which condolence was offered
to the prisoner or threats against us
were made. My plan Is to get the ad
dresses of these people and keep the list
for police reference. I believe that there
may come a time when such a list would
be valuable in running down anarchists."
In his Interview with Superintendent
Collins last night, Czolgosz made another
explanation of his visit to Chicago, just
before he went to Buffalo, but later ad
mitted that he had lied. He said that
when he reached Chicago a boy whom he
did not know approached him at the depot
and handed him a package of money. He
said the money was for use on the Buffalo
trip, but he never knew who sent it to
him or the Identity of the lad who deliv
ered It. He then, explained that most of
the meetings of anarchists that he had
-attended at Cleveland were held In saloons
designated by an anarchist newspaper.
Half an hour later, when the superintend
ent called in the brother-in-law of the
prisoner, he brought up the subject again
and said:
"How about the money you got at Chi
cago?" "What money?" asked the prisoner.
"Why, the money you told me about
nere earlier In the evening?' said the su
perintendent. "Did I tell you that? I have .forgotten
if I did. I did not get any money. If I
said so it was not true."
Anothex demonstration of the many
falsehoods told by the prisoner was fur
nished by Waldeck Czolgosz. He positive
ly assured Warden Mead that his brother
Leon could read and write. In direct con
tradiction of the oft-repeated claim of the
prisoner that he was illiterate.
Waldeck Czolgosz and Waldeck Thomas
BandowskI, brother; and brother-in-law of
the assassin called at the prison at 2
o'clock this afternoon. They sent word
In to Warden Mead that they wished to
see the body of Leon Czolgosz. The
warden told them that the body had been
buried for more than an hour, and that
If they wished he would send a guard
to guide them to the grave. They
answered that they did not care to go to
the cemetery, "but they were anxious to
arrange for the collection of the insur
ance on the life of the dead murderer,
and asked that a certificate of death be
given to them. The warden promised them
he would do so, 'and they departed. The
insurance about which they talked Is
supposed to be In a fraternal society to
which the murderer belonged.
HIS FATHER HEARD THE NEWS.
Seeming: Indifference of Members of
the Cxolgrosz Family.
CLEVELAND, O., Oct. 29. Next to the
witnesses In the death chamber of the
Auburn prison, where Leon Czolgoss's
life was shocked out of existence, there
were no more interested witnesses to the
far-away vindication, of justice than a
little group of men who had gathered In
the local office of the Associated Press
to learn of the final act early today. This
group included the father and two broth
ers of the assassin, and half a dozen of
his former neighbors in this city.
The same seeming Indifference that has
characterized the members of the Czolgosz
family was maintained to the end. When
the statement that Leon Czolgosz had
been put to death was told the old man
in Polish, his fingers twitched nervous
ly for a minute or so, and a suspicion of
a tear was seen to come Into his dark
eyes, and be made a reply in Polish to a
friend who acted as Interpreter. The
old .man's statement was to the effect
that Inasmuch as it had to be, it were
better that it was all over.
When told of Leon's regret that he had
not seen his father, the assassin's parent
replied pathetically that had he been
asked to go to Auburn he would have
done so, but the news from Auburn was
never assuring, and the father felt that
he was not wanted, hence he remained
at home. The two brothers, .both younger
than Leon, began to ask as to the prbb
able palnfulness of the electrocution. The
party did not wait to hear details, and
soon left for their homes, the father to
his dally work In one of the city's parks,
and the two brothers to their respective
employments.
Czolgrosz Banged in Effigy.
NEW YORK, Oct 29.-Czolgosz was
hanged in effigy at Hempstead, L. I., to

catcalls and groans. Moses A. Baldwin
Post No. 44, G. A. R marched with the
elaborately-constructed effigy to Smith's
Hotel, where It was swung up to a tree
and many pistol shots were fired at it.
Rockets, Roman candles and red fire were
4 burned, and under the swinging effigy a
nre oi tar Barrels was started. Then,
amid the cheers of the thousand or more
persons who had gathered, the effigy was
cut down and allowed to drop into the fire,
where it was consumed.

NEW YORK REFORM.
President Roosevelt's Article Inter
ests Englaifd.
NEW YORK, Oct. 29. President Roose
velt's article in the Fortnightly Review
on "Reform Through Social Work; Some
Forces That Tell for Decency in New York
City," continues to attract attention In
Great Britain, says the London corre
spondent of the World.
"The highest type of philanthropy." he
writes, "Is that which springs from a
feeling- of brotherhood, which rests on a
elf-respectlng, healthy basis of mutual
obligation and common effort."
Captain Morton F. Goddard, he de
clares Is the only man In New York,
"who ever entered upon a career as dis
trict leader by the door of philanthropy,"
and having referred to his establishment
of the Civic Club, he adds:
"Very speedily Goddard found himself
brought Into hostile, embarrassing con
tact with that huge, highly organized sys
tem of corruption tempered with malevo
lent charity, Tammany Hall. Every foe
of decency, from the policy-player to the
protected proprietor of a law-breaking
saloon, has had some connection with
Tnmmnriv. 'Rverv movn in nnv rHrprMnn
has resulted from contact of eome sort
with some institution under Tammany's
control."
Goddard's success as a leader Mr.
Roosevelt ascribed to "the adopting of the
social methods of Tammany, only using
them along clean linos. He is a very
shrewd, politician. If there were 20 such
men as Goddard. New York would be
saved from Tammapy."
He next eulogized the University Set
tlement work of James H. Reynolds and
others the church work of Dr. Ralnsford,
the legal aid society of Arthur von Brle
sen, and Anally commends Jncob A. Rils
as "the most useful citizen of New
York."

Many 'of the Negroes, Badly Wound
ed, Escaped to the Woods
Peace Restored.
BALLTOWN, La., Oct 29. A race war
between -blacks and whites, started, at a
negro campmeeting at Duncan Chapel
Sunday afternoon .at 4 o'clock, nas left a
carnival of blood up the Pearl River Val
ley unequaled in the history of the coun
try. One white man Is dead, another Is
now dying, and a third white man is
badly wounded. Nine negroes were Killed
In the bloody" affray, five men, three
women and one small child. A dozen, or
perhaps more, negroes escaped to the
woods and swamps with wounds that are
believed to mean certain death in the
brush away from medical care. The cas
ualties: Dead white Joseph Seal, son of XViliis
Seal, resfdence, Varando, La.
Wounded white Charles Thomas Elliott,
fatally Injured; Edward Thompson, resi
dence, Varando.
Dead, colored Revr Alexander Connolly,
pastor Duncan Chapel; Mary Davis, his
daughter: Crear Lott; Julia Peters, his
daughter; Melton Peters, his daughter;
Melton Peters, her child, aged 4 years;
Amy Teny, mother-in-law of Crear Lott;
Lewis Duncan, son of Helen Duncan, liv
ing in Poplarvllle; Thomas Parker; .
Beverly, a turpentine worker from Geor
gia. No one is able to estimate the number
of wounded negroes who escaped the car
nage behind the church. They scattered
to the four winds. Some are known to
have been shot, but they have not been
found.
The fierce conflict continued for half an
hour. Those at a distance say the firing
sounded like a pitched battle between
troops. At the campmeeting negroes had
come from 200 miles all up and down the
valley. Elder Stephen Duncan, of New
Orleans, for whom the ch.apel was named,
was present. Last Thursday the meeting
opened with several hundred negroes en
camped around the church In tents and
in rudely-constructed phantles. It was to
continue one week. There they ate and
slept and held services in the phapel. One
djy previous to the opening of the camp
meeting, the negro, Bill Morris, had been
burned at the stake near Balltown far art
assault on Mrs. J. J. Ball. Public feeling
was at a high pitch. Under those condi
tions the negroes gathered at Live Oak.
There was trouble over a license, and
Crear Lott's tent became the center of
contention. Some trouble occurred Sat
urday evening, but no bloodshed. It came
up Sunday afternoon, when Constable
Boon and a posse rode up to Lott's tent
with a warrant Lott came out and U
Is reported he shouted with an oath:
"One negro has been burned, but a d
white man will next."
Wade Walker, one of the Constable
posse, waa struck on the head with a
Winchester, and then the slaughter be
gan. The blacks fled from the frail wooden
church, for it was no shelter from the
rain of bullets. Lott retired Into his
tent, shooting and fighting. Joe Seal re
ceived his death wound. A torrent oi
lead was sent whizzing through the tent
and through the church as the negroes
fled. Preacher Connolly was shot while
standing In his yard. His daughter fell
just Inside the house. The other negroes
around Lott's place kept up a steady rain
of bullets. It was death and blood, and
the shrieks of the wounded and dying
wore heard on every side. Lott's old
mother-in-law, his two daughters and a
little boy fell in a heap inside the shel
ter. Sophie Lott saved her life by cor
ceallng herself behind a stove. Crear Lott
was barricaded, and the next move was
to fire the place, which they did. When
theflre forced him from under cover he
appeared in the doorway, and rifle balls
went crashing through him. He fell ui a
heap, head foremost upon the ground.
Parker and Beverly, both.blacksy fell with
him. Joseph Seal, Charles Elliott and Ed
ward Thompson, the wounded whites,
were carried away to the home of if.
Zones, about three miles through the plna
woods, which was hastily converted Into
a hospital. There Seal died yesterday.
Fpr 24 hours it looked like a general
uprising to wipe out the black race in
Washington Parish. The news spread
like wildfire, and yesterday over 1000
armed men had reached the scene of bat
tle, Sheriff Norman H- Simmons and J
K. Johnson, clerk of the court, of the
parish, arrived from Franklin yesterday
morning, and the feeling subsided. Gov
ernor Longlno, of Mississippi, and Gov
ernor Heard, of Louisiana, were notified,
and reply came that troops would be
hurried to the scene. Yesterday after
noon the nine negroes, who were left In
a heap where they had died, were piled
into three unmarked graves dug near the
charred remains of Lott's tenthouse.
There was no ceremony. The missionary
and his daughter filled one grave, and
the woman and child another, the men a
third.
At the same time prominent citizens
held a conference which was attended by
Sheriff Simmons, and a message was sent
to the negroes.
"Do you want any more7"
"No," came the reply.
This had a quieting effect, and peace
again reigned. The negroes left the
country, They carried all the personal ef
fects possible. The Picayune correspond
ent left the scene of the battle this af
ternoon, and all was quiet. The negroes
are cowed, and It la believed there will
be no further trouble.

HERR MOST MAY ESCAPE.
Certificate of Reasonable Doubt
Granted by Supreme Court Judge.
NEW YORK, OctT29. Justice McLean
in the Supreme Court, today granted a
certificate of reasonable doubt In the case
of Johann Most, editor of the Frehelt, an
anarchist paper. In order to stay his sen
tence of 12 months' Imprisonment for the
publication of an article entitled "Murder
vs. Murder," which appeared the day of
President McKlnley's assassination. Jus
tice McLean says the only proof to sup
port the judgment Is that Most purloined
an article expressing certain sentiments,
written by another half a century ago,
and published It as his own, "In a paper
professedly of some circulation, but which
circulation is shown by the sale of but a
single copy, that purchased by the police,
probably for the purpose of prosecuting."
He further says that It may be doubted
reasonably whether the judgment, even
with that support, should stand, as pla
giarism Is not a criminal offense under the
laws of the United States. "It Is not
shown," says Justice McLean, "that the
defendant's" expression of borrowed senti
ment has worked Injury to any Individual,
by falsifying any fact or to the public
peace or health, or that his acts were' at
tended with circumstances likely to dis
turb or endanger the public peace or
health." '
The Justice says also that the conten
tion that the publication has openly out
raged public decency rests solely upon
the language of the article itself and that
the indecency represented by the law re
lates rather to action and words which
Nature and propriety require to be con
cealed and suppressed and to public dis
plays, sale and exhibition .of evlL books or
prints. The Indecorum of this pilfered
screed, says Justice McLean, "is of an
other sort It prates of humanity, im
morality and morality, reason and con
science, but carries no suggestion of the
obscene." The utterances. Justice Mc
Lean says, do not come within the mean
ing of the section of the code under which
Most was prosecuted.
